Book:
Jesus Drank, Judas Repented
and God Divorced His Bride
Using
solid Biblical references, this
book seeks to stir up heightened
interest in what the Bible says
by questioning even the most
primary, and most popular biblical
teachings.
MOST
religious books are "sugar
coated" and non-controversial.
But, the Bible isn't that way.
Neither is Jesus Drank, Judas
Repented and God Divorced His
Bride. If you do an objective
study of the contents of the
Bible, you'll discover that
God can be quite a difficult
God. While much of Christ popularity
came from the miracles he performed,
those in power took notice because
of his understanding of Hebrew
law (Old Testament) and his
outspoken intolerance for arrogance
and self-righteousness among
the "religious" crowd.

42 Rules of Marketing: A
Funny Practical Guide with the
Quick and Easy Steps to Success
The
42 Rules of Marketing is a compilation
of ideas, theories, and practical
approaches to marketing challenges
the author has been collecting
over the past 17 years. The
idea was to create a series

that marketers know we should

the time or patience to do.
"These
42 Rules are gems of advice
and gentle reminders that every
marketer needs to hear from
time to time, packaged in concise,
fun-to-read nuggets. If 'marketing'
is in your title, you need to
have this book in your library."

Tales From The Networking
Community: Networking, Like
Life, is a Process not an Event

Book:
Climbing the Ladder of
Business Intelligence:
Happy About Creating Excellence
through Enabled Intuition
Good
decision-making is rare in the
business world and most businesses
are not operating anywhere near
their capacity. The goal of
"Climbing the Ladder of
Business Intelligence"
is to introduce an intelligence
framework that builds a foundation
for success. The Ladder is a
framework that enables the skillful
management of intelligence.
The right intelligence is delivered
to the right people at the right
time. This creates an intelligent
organization - one with excellence
in all its operations and the
ability to sustain success.
"In
every corporation I have worked
for, I have sought to strike
an alignment between the business
units and the IT organization.
The Ladder allows people working
in business processes to utilize
technology to answer the key
questions that they have to
ask (people-process-technology).
The Ladder framework pushes
employees to focus on asking
the right questions, getting
the right information and making
the right decisions (question-information-decision).
These two powerful ideas, people-process-technology
and question-information-decision,
are framed in a step-by-step
approach - the Circle of Success
that allows any company to increase
the payback out of their IT
investments. The Ladder and
the Circle of Success give every
company the tools to attain
excellence. The power of the
Ladder as a framework lies in
its simplicity. Striving for
excellence will come naturally."

Book:
Confessions of a Resilient
Entrepreneur: Persevering to
Success
'Confessions
of a Resilient Entrepreneur:
Persevering to Success' demonstrates
the balancing act that women
- and men - have to perform
in order to integrate a business
life with a family life. This
book speaks to the starry-eyed
young entrepreneur who has big
business ideas but no idea of
what it takes to have it all,
as well as the well-established
business leader who has achieved
success and now wants to somehow
fit a life into those dreams.
It describes and encourages
the attitudes and belief systems
that grow an entrepreneur
and illustrates what
happens when those attitudes
and belief systems come up against
hard reality.
"No
one is better equipped to coach
and nurture female entrepreneurs
than Frumi, herself a successful
entrepreneur, mother, friend
and community leader. If 'The
Little Engine That Could' were
re-written just for women entrepreneurs,
'Confessions of a Resilient
Entrepreneur' would be it. Frumi
understands an entrepreneur's
excitement, temptations and
fears intimately because she's
'been there, done that.' Reading
her story is like swallowing
a big dose of courage. You feel
as though you could overcome
anything because she has faced
life's hardest challenges with
aplomb and transformed herself
into a stronger, happier and
better woman each time.
