But the genius of this remarkable work is that it defines frustration as a positive force rather than a negative one. Then, having reframed frustration, Myron Edmonds shows us how to harness the energy of frustration for the achievement of a leadership prowess that can never be achieved without it.

Women define career success in a wide variety of ways. But whatever a woman's personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career - virtually all high status, highly compensated fields - her career is at risk because of pervasive gender stereotypes. This highly practical book makes clear that women don't need to change who they are to succeed in their chosen careers, and they certainly don't need to act more like men.

Have you ever wondered if God was really up there listening to you when you pray? And if he is up there listening, will he answer? What if there was a way you could be absolutely sure that you were right where God needed you to be for him to act on your behalf? What if we could get to the point where we understood and believed that God wants to bless us abundantly more than we could ever ask or think? In Keys to Answered Prayers, Vincent Dehm has come across 46 words that will change your life forever.

When I bounced the idea of an accidental life off Jim Browne, my financial manager with a keen understanding of the human condition, he said that all of us benefit from serendipity, from the accidental life. (We in fact met by happy accident.) He added that my life was and is typical, or perhaps a tad off the norm. Surely he's correct in that we all benefit from fortuitous events, but I think he's incorrect in that such events in my life are typical or normal.

We men often have a difficult time making commitments to those special women in our lives. There is some virtue that drew you to that special woman in your life, and if you continue to see that value in her, why not commit all that you are and all that you have to her? This book is my attempt to sound an alarm for my brothers to love these women or leave them alone.

Todays "free-market" philosophy of one dollar, one vote has all but eclipsed the traditional one person, one vote values of our grandparents' generation. Our democratic and humanitarian concepts of "all for one, one for all" and "we're all in this together" have all but vanished. It's not my intention to start a political discussion about the rights and wrongs of national or international fiscal policies. I do not wish to delve into the wheeler-dealing of money markets and the distribution of corporate wealth.

There are rarely ever brand-new ideas. Inventions are often old ideas recycled, enhanced, and marketed in a new method and format. This is all called freewheeling innovation, and this is how society (and technology) progresses. You cannot be afraid to take someone else's ideas, improve on them, and claim them as your own. This "thievery" is almost the lifeline of innovation.

Motivation is both simple and complex. The definition itself is simple - the internal process and external factors that drive us toward a given goal. The ideas behind and the nuances within motivation, however, are complicated. There are professors out there who have spent years, endless hours researching and documenting motivation, trying to figure out what exactly it is that drives the human mind forward.

The Bible is chock full of stories and object lessons that we can apply to our daily lives. And there are a great many incredible commentaries, storybooks, Bible study aids, and other resource material that help elucidate what has been written. However, there are few, if any, that give voice to the voiceless in these stories. For example, have you ever wondered how the story of Jesus' birth would have read if the manger where He was swaddled were given a voice with which to speak?

Fresh Perspectives: Bible Stories Voiced by the Voiceless, Volume 2, part of the Endless Book Series, takes on the perspective of the "ground beneath the feet of the adulterous woman" written of in John 8:1-11. The Lord has much to say to all in the story of an adulteress, and the ground can give us a fresh perspective.
