I Saw Heaven
$14.99
“I saw this huge pearl gate. It’s beau-tiful!”
Patti Miller Dunham’s brother Richard had lapsed into a deep coma. Along with other family members, his sister waited for what seemed inevitable. Then he defied expectations-he woke up and eventually the life support equipment was turned off.
Dunham says, “Back in 2001 in the Missouri Intensive Care Unit, when my brother talked of seeing heaven, he also said, ‘I didn’t see God, but He told me I had to go back because He has more work for me to do.'”
Then she makes a startling statement: “Little did I know part of the work planned for him was his own sister.”
Months later, Richard called Dunham after hearing her marriage had collapsed. She was at a loss to deal with the depression and sense of betrayal that were left. He quickly identified his sister’s central problem: “Every sentence you are saying to me starts with the word ‘I.’ You are in control. God isn’t.”
In a series of eighteen more phone conversations over the next several months, Richard Miller shared wise counsel that Dunham documents in I Saw Heaven. His advice amazed her. She was the “good, churchgoing Christian,” and he was a recovering alcoholic who had been a struggling believer for a few years and had rarely attended church as an adult.
Yet Richard stated truth in ways that pierced her soul. She says, “I got it. I heard it.” The conversations encouraged her to search the Bible, to pray, and to meditate. Her life changed forever as a result.
I Saw Heaven is a testament to a way God often works-through the words of people who are not afraid to “speak the truth in love” to us. It portrays how one life was changed-and it’ll change yours, too.

Great By Choice
$29.99The new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer

In her bestselling children’s book Take Heart, My Child, Ainsley Earhardt drew on her childhood and the inspirational notes her father wrote her before school each morning.
