Jesus Freaks
Amazon.com Review
It is a book for teenagers about martyrdom, containing dozens of profiles of figures ranging from Stephen, whose martyrdom is described in the Book of Acts, to “Anila and Perveen,” two teenage Pakistani girls and Christian believers. The book’s design is hip and easy to read, and its summary of Christian persecutions that continue today is useful–and frightening.

He identifies what precipitated their leap into authentic and meaningful work, interviewing hundreds of people to craft replicable steps that everyone can use to initiate a personal and professional evolution and achieve success without taking reckless and unnecessary risks.
Selling the Invisible
Amazon.com Review
In this book, the author argues that what consumers are primarily interested in today are not features, but relationships. Even companies who think they sell only tangible products should rethink their approach to product development, marketing and sales. Beckwith provides an excellent forum for thinking differently about the nature of services and how they can be effectively marketed.
The Importance of Being Idle
Amazon.com Review
Being a slacker is just as hard as being a workaholic–and ten times harder to justify. However, now when you are confronted by a disgruntled colleague’s whining, uncomfortable silences can be abated by an immediate witty quotation. This book is invaluable to anyone who is vilified for having taken the most underrated of lifestyle choices.
