About Stratification: How Strategic-Decision Processes will Create Sustainable Competitive Advantage by Stephen Garchow

Strategic decision-making is an important competency for today’s business organizations. Yet, many implement suboptimal strategic decisions because of haphazard strategic management approaches that subject leadership teams to poor strategic issue framing, inadequate key factor identification, laborious data collection, and detrimental groupdynamics. Companies that make sound business strategy decisions establish a foundation for future success. This book is a focused, practical guide introducing the Lean Strategic Decision Model (LSDM). LSDM is designed to improve business strategy by making strategic decisions more effective and efficient.

Two worlds. One unstoppable passion. A fiery secret that could destroy them all.

Prince Zayne Godfrey, heir to Edana’s throne, is betrothed to the lone princess of rival kingdom Forath. While his heart is not in the arranged marriage, he will do his royal duty.

When he finds a beautiful stranger cornered by a pack of wolves, he doesn’t hesitate to shift into his golden dragon form to save her. She thanks him by taking one look at him and fainting dead away.

Photographer Adelaide Miller is in England for a career-making shoot when a bizarre jogging mishap lands her in a dangerous, medieval-like world of royals, wizards and dragon-shifting men. Her first instinct is to find her way back, but the fire-breathing prince intent on protecting her threatens to melt her heart.

Zayne’s burning passion for Adelaide not only jeopardizes the fragile peace between two kingdoms, it uncovers a ruthless plot to destroy his family. Remaining together may change Adelaide’s very definition of home—and expose one searing secret that could forever shift the balance of power in Zayne’s world.

About Powerful Prayers in the War Room by Daniel B Lancaster:

I WANTED TO PRAY…BUT I DIDN’T KNOW HOW

As Christians, we often struggle to find the words to speak in the presence of God Almighty. Praying to God may feel foreign or like a ritual, and adding to that frustration, we worry that God isn’t listening. Even if He hears, will He reply?

This book will show you that God not only listens but also answers. He is waiting to provide an outpouring of blessings, if only you will ask Him. God wants you to be a prayer warrior and will help you.

Author Dan Lancaster was struck by the power of the prayers answered during his time as an international missionary in Southeast Asia. These answered prayers brought glory to God and helped advance His Kingdom on Earth. THOSE are the types of prayers we need in the world, and that is the direction this book will guide you.

Prayer was never intended to be complicated. The truth is that Jesus showed His disciples how to pray and He wants to show you how to pray too.

The author brings 40 years of his personal experience to the pages of this book, but most importantly, he looks to the Word to unearth what Jesus prayed about and how. With beautiful simplicity, Dr. Lancaster offers tangible methods to reshape your prayer life beginning today.

By opening your heart to these actionable techniques, you will begin to experience the true power of prayer in your relationship with God, in your community, and in ways you could never have imagined.

But he always delivers step-by-step strategies you can immediately implement.

When not writing, Dan likes to train others, read, and explore different parts of the world.
