2005 RWA Golden Quill Best First Book Dear Mom, How’s Florida? Life in little ole Peeler, Oklahoma has been exciting. My new neighbor, big-time lawyer, Jason Brooks, has finished building his ultra-modern mansion next to my old dilapidated Victorian. The first time I met him, he knocked me off my feet—literally, right into the red dirt. I know what you’re thinking, but forget the matchmaking, Mom. A high society attorney wouldn’t go for a tree-hugging, vegetarian, health food store owner named Persephone Jones. (What were you thinking?) And by the way, the whole town is in an uproar over a proposed commercial hog farm. I’m leading the crusade against a huge corporation that wants to pollute our local environment. When I find out who’s behind this mess, I’m really going to let him have it. Gotta run, big town meeting tonight. Write soon. Love, Perse P.S. could you send me your recipe for chocolate chip cookies? I sort of promised that stuffed shirt brooks I would bake him some as a welcoming gift. Don’t get any ideas, I’m just being neighborly!

The Way We're Working Isn't Working is one of those rare books with the power to profoundly transform the way we work and live. Demand is exceeding our capacity. The ethic of "more, bigger, faster" exacts a series of silent but pernicious costs at work, undermining our energy, focus, creativity, and passion. Nearly 75 percent of employees around the world feel disengaged at work every day. The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergizing our lives so we're both more satisfied and more productive-on the job and off. By integrating multidisciplinary findings from the science of high performance, Tony Schwartz, coauthor of the #1 bestselling The Power of Full Engagement, makes a persuasive case that we're neglecting the four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability (physical); security (emotional); self-expression (mental); and significance (spiritual). Rather than running like computers at high speeds for long periods, we're at our best when we pulse rhythmically between expending and regularly renewing energy across each of our four needs. Organizations undermine sustainable high performance by forever seeking to get more out of their people. Instead they should seek systematically to meet their four core needs so they're freed, fueled, and inspired to bring the best of themselves to work every day.

A GRIPPING THRILLER AND A PROFOUND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THAT REVEALS THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD! Two thousand years ago, Mary Magdalene hid a set of scrolls in the rocky foothills of the French Pyrenees, a gospel that contained her own version of the events and characters of the New Testament. Protected by supernatural forces, these sacred scrolls could be uncovered only by a special seeker, one who fulfills the ancient prophecy of l'attendue -- The Expected One. When journalist Maureen Paschal begins the research for a new book, she has no idea that she is stepping into an ancient mystery so secret, so revolutionary, that thousands of people have killed and died for it. She becomes deeply immersed in the mystical cultures of southwest France as the eerie prophecy of The Expected One casts a shadow over her life and work and a long-buried family secret comes to light. Ultimately she, and the reader, come face-to-face with Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Judas, and Salome in the pages of a deeply moving and powerful new gospel, the life of Jesus as told by Mary Magdalene.
