Harold's life as an accountant was pretty boring, and he liked it that way. He and his best friend Connie had grown up together in a California sea side community in relative anonymity, but their lives would change forever when they decided to stop for dinner at Mr. Doshi's Chinese Take Out and Gift Emporium. Great personal tragedy, workplace espionage, and unbelievable destiny will rip them from their ho-hum lives and begin an adventure for the ages.

When a car accident takes Jim's wife away from him and his ten-year-old daughter, Libby, he spirals into a darkness filled with faithlessness, alcohol addiction, and guilt. It is a place way below bottom, where his only remaining belief is that even God will not forgive him. But one night, Libby prays asking Jesus to give her father strength and peace-sparking a miraculous series of events. An angel of the Lord visits Libby and bestows upon her a special gift, allowing her to show people their future in a way that they actually experience the feelings that come with their ill-chosen fate. With this vision also comes the knowledge and promise that positive changes, no matter how small, can have a significant impact on the paths their lives are taking. Through this special young girl, Jim and many others capture glimpses of hope for themselves, and that is all it takes to launch their journeys back to faith, peace, and happiness. Watch these characters survive the worst times of their lives, learn to make a change, and take action to undergo amazing transformations through the power of God that emanates from a gifted child.

Addresses the twin crises that the world is facing in the form of a simultaneous financial and environmental credit crunch. This book asks whether financial crunch-induced changes in consumer behaviour will be enough to avoid, or reduce, the environmental crunch many believe is just round the corner.

The Truth About Inflation does not set out to forecast inflation, but to help improve its understanding, so that investors can make better decisions to achieve the real returns that they need. Starting with a summary of long history of inflation, the drivers of price change are considered. Many of the "urban myths" that have built up about inflation are shown to be a consequence of irrational judgement or political scaremongering. Some behaviour, like the unhealthy veneration of gold as a means of inflation protection, is shown to be the result of historical accident. In the modern era of lower nominal investment returns, inflation inequality (whereby some groups experience persistently higher inflation than others) is a very important consideration.
