Written under the pseudonym of Benny Aabamadamabaa, Peace, Love, And Chocolate: Spiritual Humor And Other Stuff is a compilation of an amusing and insightful spiritual jokes, one-liners, dialogues, and shaggy dog stories -- all recorded with a gentle touch of mirth. An uplifting dose of light reading, especially as a break between more serious meditations and ponderings, Peace, Love, And Chocolate highly recommended and entertaining reading.

Product Description
Peace, Love and Chocolate: Spiritual Humor and other Stuff works on more than one level. First and foremost, it's supposed to make you laugh. Laughing makes you feel better, so it is not only the "best medicine," but also the best spiritual exercise.

This book will also lead you to think, to question and to see the familiar in a different light. Thus, if you can stop laughing, then you can learn something too. Learning can be a pleasure with this little book, but don't let the learning get in the way of the laughing.

Review of Making a Leadership Change: How Organizations and Leaders Can Handle Leadership Transitions Successfully (Paperback)

I picked this book up out after a friend asked me what I knew about how to manage a leadership change for a church that had a pastor who, after a long, successful tenure, was going to retire. The question smoldered for a while and I began to realize how many organizations this scenario would play out in over the next 20 years. The presidential election highlighted even more that the West is undergoing disruptive change and leadership will be critical. The book was well written and well informed in my opinion. It's a wealth of information for the relative cost and time to read it.

Product Description
Turnover at the top can stimulate great changes throughout an organization.These changes can mean low morale, decreased productivity, rumors, and political infighting-or they can revitalize working relationships and opportunities to rethink outdated assumptions and forge new directions.In this book Thomas North Gilmore, a consultant to leaders in business and government, shows how executives in new positions-as well as those overseeing leadership changes-can capitalize on these opportunities and minimize the risks of making changes at the top.
