About Something Had to Give: Cheryl’s Side by Trish D:

Follow Cheryl’s journey through this crazy and unpredictable thing called life. Her story is one we can all relate to. She had big plans for herself, but life came at her fast. Will she be able to play the cards she dealt? Or will the pressures of life drive her to actions that will alter her life forever?

Cheryl began planning her life when she was just eight years old. At that age, she never considered that life would throw her curve balls that would make her change those plans. For Cheryl, it seems as though each time she has a minute to catch her breath, there is something else that comes along to disrupt her life. Even as a teen, Cheryl finds herself dealing a lot of devastating experiences that seem unfair, but she always manages to pull through. As a young adult, it becomes more difficult as she often finds herself without the support of her family friends.

Adulthood hits Cheryl like a freight train. She quickly discovers how decisions and actions from her past can affect her future. The transition from a carefree college student to an adult that’s tied down is not easy for Cheryl. Though she does her best to adjust and make the best of her new life, the pressures of being a mom and partner begin to weigh heavily on her. Cheryl tries hard to keep her control of her emotions, but when she finds herself as a single mom going to war with her ex, she reaches her breaking point. The plan Cheryl devises to fix her problems is so far fetched that she is not sure she can pull it off. However, when she discovers that her ex has moved on with no regard to the life he promised her, all bets are off. She has just given birth to her second child and finds herself caring for two children alone while he has started a new life without her. It’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back. For her something had to give, and it was him.

About Compassionate Capitalism: A Journey to the Soul of Business by Blaine Bartlett

Business is the most pervasive and influential force on the planet today. Its activities transcend national and international borders. Its activities are not unduly constrained by financial, political, cultural, ethnic, or religious concerns. The net of this is that business, as a prevalent and important force, has a moral responsibility to guide, enhance, value, and nourish the existence of all that it encounters. In the world today, the absolute opposite of this occurs. Business today seldom assesses the efficacy of its activities through the lens of anything but profit.

The true purpose of business is to uplift the experience of existing. It is not to make owners wealthy. It is not to produce ever-cheaper goods and services. It is not to keep an avaricious and toxic economic model afloat. And it is certainly not (with no apology to Milton Friedman) to make a profit.

From our perspective, business is nothing less than a spiritual discipline, it requires the same integrity, commitment, intentionality, courage, discipline, and compassion as any other spiritual discipline. Spiritual disciplines honor life, in all its forms, as having innate and intrinsic value simply because it exists. It’s the honoring of this value—the ennobling of this value—that is called forth when we approach business as a spiritual undertaking. It is the compassionate thing to do.

About The Secret of Heaven:

When investment banker Lazzaro de Medici is found dead, Professor of Biblical Studies at University of Illinois at Chicago Aiden Leonardo is the prime suspect. In possession of an encrypted letter given to him by Lazzaro, Aiden utilizes his extensive knowledge of Scripture to piece together clues that lead to a Lost Bible dating back to the time of Christ.

Hidden within the text is an ancient truth about the most controversial message Jesus left to His disciples. But as Aiden embarks on his quest to unravel the mystery of redemption and faith, a secret organization known only as The Group hunts him down to destroy the Lost Bible and tie up loose ends.

With the help of his fiancé Dr. Miriam Levin—a cultural anthropologist and a professor of historical archaeology in her own right, their friend Nagi, a philologist, religious historian and an eccentric cryptographer, Aiden soon realizes the Lost Bible was written by the only disciple who walked with Jesus and had his gospel omitted from Scripture.

Things are further complicated when a mysterious stranger warns Aiden that possessing the secret of heaven could cost him his life. Pursued by the F.B.I. for the ancient Black market relic and the Chicago PD in connection to the murder of Lazzaro de Medici, Aiden races against the clock to prove his innocence and fulfill his mentor’s dying wish.
