Do you want to be a better employee? Co-worker? A more effective coach and mentor? A highly respected boss? Learn from someone who didn't just read about, consult, or study corporate life - Shawn actually lived it for over thirty-five years! The Minimalist of Practical Business Advice is filled with, as you might expect, practical business advice - "minimal" on watered down theory and overly wordy anecdotes, "maximal" on clear, concise learnings you can immediately put into practice in your everyday work life. In total, there are over 130 bits of advice, each presented in a one-page, simple, easy-to-read format. You'll learn how to deal with many of today's biggest work challenges -- decision making, prioritization, relationships, negotiating, change management, communications, the use and display of data, presentations.... the list goes on and on. Shawn's work philosophy is woven into the fabric of his book, "I'm all about keeping things simple. I believe structure is important until it becomes bureaucratic. I value data and wish people would stick to the facts, not taking things so personally -- it's only work. I think patience and perseverance are undervalued in a world addicted to instant gratification. I have an appreciation for curiosity and love a good debate. I believe your business will be successful if you bring smart people with high integrity together and let them do their thing." This book isn't going to make you an instant millionaire, transform your life overnight, or propel you to the top of your firm in six weeks - in other words, it's not a work of fiction. It will simply make you a more effective, marketable, employee. The Minimalist of Practical Business Advice is purposefully written to appeal to a broad audience, from new graduates (would make a great graduation present) to those more experienced, seeking help for themselves or as a coach and mentor to others. It's a book you can refer to over-and-over throughout your career as a reminder of how to effectively navigate the office... sage advice has no expiration date!

Frustration with our political leaders is at an all-time high. The American people are at a loss as to why children are shooting their classmates. They can't understand why single-parent families are now the landscape of the land as divorce rates climb higher than 50 percent. They seem baffled for an explanation as to why kids are becoming addicts to sex, drugs, and alcohol. In "God's Truth or the Liberal Lie: American at the Crossroads", Shawn Smith gives brutally honest answers that illustrate how liberalism is destroying our country and our leaders and stealing the innocence of our children in the process. He exposes how our country's walk away from God is leading society down the path of judgment--like so many other advanced civilizations--and how the pattern has repeated itself countless times since that fateful day in the Garden of Eden. Smith's goal in writing this book was to give people sound biblical truth and help them find the God-given tools they possess to fight the spiritual battle that is being waged in the homes, boardrooms, schools, and political arenas of this country. Once a liberal who now calls himself a "Benedict Arnold of the best kind," Smith deftly exposes the hypocrisy, hatred, and intolerance in America's supposedly caring, compassionate, and tolerant movement while encouraging readers to take a stand against liberalism. He believes that if we do not turn back the satanic tide of humanism, relativism, and secularism that is sweeping our country today, there will be a steep price to pay for turning our backs on God.

This book, WISDOM Speaks: The Beginning of WISDOM, will assist you in your effort to get WISDOM. As stated, WISDOM has a voice and she cries out. We believe, through the women of the Bible, the WISDOM of God will flood your life. What does Eve, Lot's wife, Sarah, Hagar, Rachel, Leah, and Rebekah all have in common? They each experienced the highs and lows of life. They endured life's various trials, temptations, and tribulations. These women have stories to tell. Their lives speak the WISDOM of God we need to be better, stronger and well-equipped for life. "Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live." (2 Timothy 3:16 CEV) God wants us to know how to live productive, prosperous and powerful lives. We do it through knowing the WISDOM of God for living.
