Three Feet From Gold
Subtitle: Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities!
by Sharon L. Lechter & Greg S. Reid

In Three Feet from Gold, Sharon L. Lechter and Greg S. Reid have written a remarkable business allegory with a powerful message that resonates especially in times of economic downturn: never give up, you could be three feet from gold—the greatest success of your life.  This book will not only inspire you to believe in yourself, but also provides an invaluable equation for personal success based on advice from top entrepreneurs, and a practical workbook for finding your own path to achievement.

A century ago Napoleon Hill began the research that ultimately resulted in his extraordinary bestseller Think and Grow Rich. Since its publication in 1937, with over 100 million copies sold worldwide, Think and Grow Rich has inspired generations of men and women to turn their dreams into reality with its wise and effective principles of self-motivation, leadership, service, and achievement culled from Hill’s interviews with visionaries of his day. Now, a hundred years later, in Three Feet from Gold, a young entrepreneur whose life is falling apart finds himself retracing Hill’s steps following a serendipitous encounter with a powerful businessman who sees the young man’s potential and sets him on a challenging journey of personal, spiritual, and financial growth.

Sharon—entrepreneur, successful business woman and co-author of the best-selling Rich Dad series of books—and Greg—himself a successful author, CEO, and in-demand motivational speaker—have given us more than the story of one man’s dogged pursuit of success. They deliver an effective equation for accomplishing goals that calls for combining passion and talent, taking action with the right association, and above all else, having faith that you are on the right path.

Job Killers
Subtitle: The American Dream in Reverse
by Robert S. Graham

Job Killers examines the role labor unions play on the American workforce, economy and livelihoods. For years, economists have conducted studies proving labor’s adverse effect on America’s businesses and workers. Through careful research and analysis, my book, proves how labor unions are destroying American jobs and are keeping us from our right to work and offers a solid, results-based solutions proposal to getting our country and economy back on track.

Preface to Job Kilelrs
America is in a critical state; truly in desperate need of resuscitation. Every day, businesses are losing millions of dollars to our global competitors. More and more Americans are finding pink slips where there should be paychecks. Never before has the American Dream been attacked as vehemently as it has during this “Great Recession.”

While many culprits have contributed to this mess, one perpetrator plays a particularly damaging role in suppressing our country’s ability to climb out of this recession – labor unions.

Growing up in the heart of the auto industry in Michigan, I was well aware of the importance The Big Three played in our country’s economy. I witnessed, firsthand, how American automakers provided for our neighbors and the dependence our state and nation had on a healthy auto industry. As I grew older I learned about the underhanded politics and union bullying that has become more and more prevalent. What began as a movement to defend and protect the American worker has ended up costing him his job.

Labor unions are anything but a “Unified Voice.” Instead, unions have caused the loss of American jobs and contributed to the downfall of our economy. Let me be clear. I have no qualms with unions that are able to organize within a company and work for the benefit of all involved. My problem lies with the unions that have stopped working for the employee and started working for themselves.

Unions are the Mistletoe Effect in its purest form. What may have started as a movement to unify workers, in the interest of establishing fair treatment and respectable wages, has turned into a survival story in which union organizations use questionable tactics to garner membership and exploit membership benefits in the name of “the worker.” This parasitic practice is destroying the fabric of our country. Unions have invaded our way of life and have kidnapped the American Dream.

Growing the Entrepreneurial Dream
Subtitle: How to Take Your Business from Start-up to World-Class
by Jim H. Houtz

COMING SOON: Fall of 2010
Something is going on right now. It's a groundswell of sorts.  Starting quietly and building momentum just the same. Can you hear it? Are you part of it?  That gentle quiet rumble is the sound of entrepreneurism. And it just might be what saves America and the world from the mess we seem to have gotten ourselves into.

What does every person in the world have in common?  Granted, there are numerous things, but few impact our lives as much as this one: We are all part of the twenty-first century and we will all continue to experience rapid change.  Change is taking place faster, as it is more widespread than at any time in the world's history. In days gone by, change meant a new dance craze, a new fashion trend, or a smaller radio-and those changes happened over the course of years. Today change happens continually. Change is crossing continents, cultures and communities and is unstoppable. In our age, opportunities for innovation have never been greater. Can you commit to go for greatness?

Demon
Subtitle: Genesis: Is He Man or Fallen Angel?
by Michael Lechter

The Earthling: Was he Man or Fallen Angel…the brunt of a cosmic joke or the most powerful of demons? 

He characterizes himself as a beat up old business man with a checkered past…who likes to pretend that he's a martial artist, but in fact has spent decades sitting behind a desk shuffling papers.  But when a sorcerer from another world attempts to summon the Michael, the most powerful of demons, he awakens to find himself transported from his home on earth to the strange world of Alateel – a world of swords and sorcery.  His only hope to return home to his family is to play the part of the arch-demon and save the sorcerer’s queen.  Armed only with the magical lore from the sorcerer's grimoire – a book of spells – and his background in martial arts, he must face the real demons that hold captive the sorcerer's queen.
Devil or Angel?
Revelation 12:7-9

    And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels…

           And the great dragon was cast out…he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

But was it only the great dragon that was cast out of heaven?
Archangel Michael Red Sword had been the most loyal of Yahweh's retainers, serving his liege through the ages.  Ranking officer in Yahweh's Angels, the most proficient fighting force in all of the known universes, he was Yahweh’s right hand in the millennia long “war of forms” that pitted the progenitors of mankind against a coalition of other sentient species.  He fought at Yahweh's side in securing the Haven, a star-sized inter-mediational vehicle, and in the search for a new universe in which Yahweh could create a new home for his people.  And when S’tan and a group of rogue angels teamed with the dragon-like Saurrog to overthrow Yahweh, Michael Red Sword led the battle to defeat them and protect his liege.  Yet in the grimoires of sorcerers, Michael was named as the most powerful of demons- a creature so dire that to summon him required the expenditure of the life force of thousands, and payment to him of a life of his choice.

How did Michael Red Sword go from Archangel to arch demon?  Why did the man from earth appear in response to a summons for the arch demon?  And how did he fare in the role of the Demon?  This is their story.





Kana’s Quest
Subtitle: White Which Worlds
by Anthony Olheiser

In the beginning there was just God. Lonely, God created for Himself spiritual creatures He called Angels to live in Heaven with Him.  An important Angel named Lucifer was the most beautiful of all the Angels. Because of this, Lucifer grew steadily vain about himself, until one day he openly defied God.

Heaven was divided into a Great War.  Three groups emerged. Angels that kept loyalty to the Lord, Lucifer and his followers, and a third group of Angels who stood neutral waiting to see the outcome of the war.

Lucifer and his army lost, and God held trial. He sentenced Lucifer, who came to be known by Satan, and his Dark Army of Black Witches to eternal damnation in Hell. Some however begged for forgiveness and being merciful, God sentenced them to a place called Purgatory where they became the Grey Witches, Keepers of Death. The Lord also promised that one day they would see the light of Heaven again.

Those who stood neutral, for their lack of faith, God sentenced to mortal bodies and the task of watching over the Universe and protecting it from the dark power of Lucifer.  They became known as the White Witches.  The Prince of the White Witches builds an army on earth in preparation for a second war with Satan’s followers and the discovery of Satan’s son is made!
