Christian Fabre’s life was nothing less than a roller-coaster ride. He was far away from home, he had a broken marriage, was penniless, and without a job. The evolution of Swami Pranavananda Brahmendra Avadhuta from the down-on-his-luck French entrepreneur who had witnessed several ups and downs in his business, is an inspiring story. Ironically, the very name that he renounced has become famous all over India today, as more and more Christian Fabre stores open up in numerous cities. After his ordainment as a Naga Swami (a renunciate naked Hindu monk), his beloved Guru gave him an astounding directive – his career in fashionable garments had to be his sadhana (spiritual practice). He had to be in the marketplace, but not of it; he had to bring Spirituality into the material world. Successfully straddling the seemingly opposing worlds of Spirituality and international fashion wear, the Press calls him the ‘Anti-Trump’ or the ‘Naked Emperor of Ready-to-Wear’. This is his story, in his words...

“Confronts readers with the implications of a popular tourist destination founded on the values and sentiments of American evangelical Protestantism.” —Thomas S. Bremer, Journal of the American Academy of Religion Over the past century, Branson, Missouri, has attracted tens of millions of tourists. Nestled in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, it offers a rare and refreshing combination of natural beauty and family-friendly recreation—from scenic lakes and rolling hills to theme parks and variety shows. It has boasted of big-name celebrities, like Wayne Newton, Andy Williams, and Petula Clark, as well as family entertainers like Mickey Gilley, the Shanghai Magic Troupe, Jim Stafford, and Yakov Smirnoff. But there is more to Branson’s fame than just recreation. As Aaron K. Ketchell discovers, a popular variant of Christianity underscores all Branson’s tourist attractions and fortifies every consumer success. In this lively and engaging study, Ketchell explores Branson’s unique blend of religion and recreation. He explains how the city became a mecca of conservative Christianity—a place for a “spiritual vacation”—and how, through conscious effort, its residents and businesses continuously reinforce its inextricable connection with the divine. Ketchell combines the study of lived religion, popular culture, evangelicalism, and contemporary American history to present an accurate and honest account of a distinctly American phenomenon. “As Ketchell brilliantly argues, Branson entrepreneurs wove Christian sentiment ‘into a fabric of nostalgia, premodern longing, and whitewashed rusticity.’” —Matthew Avery Sutton, The Christian Century “At a time when Jim Wallis and other observers have forecast the end of the prominence of right-wing-religion on the U.S. political stage, this book will cause many readers to question that prediction.” —David Stricklin, The Journal of Southern History
The autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 - 1952) details his search for a guru, during which he encountered many spiritual leaders and world-renowned scientists. When it was published in 1946 it was the first introduction of many westerners to yoga and meditation. The famous opera singer Amelita Galli-Curci said about the book: "Amazing, true stories of saints and masters of India, blended with priceless superphysical information-much needed to balance the Western material efficiency with Eastern spiritual efficiency-come from the vigorous pen of Paramhansa Yogananda, whose teachings my husband and myself have had the pleasure of studying for twenty years."

As a nine-year old, when his younger brother was crushed by a truck on their way to school during WWII, Lapp learned that while life deals crushing blows, he could not quit living no matter how tough things get. Beginning to learn that life is about helping others more than worrying about oneself, at twelve he saved his father's life. He soon heard the Holy telling him that making life work for others was his calling. But as evidence that his ministry would be in the street, outside the church's doors, Lapp sought societal justice, becoming a Civil Rights Activist in college. After ordination, while starting a new church, he joined Martin Luther King, Jr. for the March on Washington, then went to Selma. He soon organized and directed the Metro Denver Fair Housing Center. In helping create the New Town of The Woodlands in Texas, he developed the community governance and services. After returning to Colorado, he created businesses that provided equal employment opportunity with health insurance for women. Twenty-five years ago, nearing "retirement" he organized and still chairs a Colorado faith-based Non-Profit that builds and manages low-income housing.

You will not become rich on the outside until you become rich on the inside. “Your future self is begging you to read this book.” ~Tatyana Moshchenkov, Mompreneur “Jeremy’s ability to tell stories that paint pictures in your mind about how to achieve success is second to none.” ~Peter Beshay, CEO Here’s the bad news: Most people would rather pick up a beer than a book. They’d rather party than plan. They’d rather be entertained than be educated. Most people don’t set goals, and that’s why they work for people who do. Here’s the good news: You’re not like most people. That’s why you picked this book. That’s why you never trade what you want most – for what you want now. And that’s why you’re in pursuit of discovering how to create the best version of yourself possible. Jeremy McGilvrey is a Harvard-educated No. 1 bestselling author. When he’s not studying neuroscience or epigenetics, he’s helping business owners take their companies from brick-and-mortar to click-and-order by leveraging the massive power of the Internet. If you’re on the fence about reading this book, let me ask: when you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Are you who that child wanted you to become? If not, you need to start believing in yourself and your dreams again. This book will show you scientifically proven and action-based strategies so you can do just that: believe in yourself and become who you were meant to be.
“Swampoodle” was a Philadelphia neighborhood where many Irish immigrants settled in the early twentieth century, among them Martin G. McGuinn’s grandparents. McGuinn’s story is very much that of the fulfillment of the American Dream, a proud Irish-American’s story of rising from these modest beginnings to eventually become CEO of one of America’s leading financial institutions. Born in 1942, McGuinn grew up in Princeton, New Jersey , graduated from Villanova’s college and law school, served in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam, and practiced law on Wall Street before joining Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh. He spent 25 years there rising to CEO. This is the story about how he got there, the challenges along the way, and successes and disappointments. It’s a story about how hard work and good fortune can produce success in the corporate world, in an industry and a community that provides a lesson that will resonate with many. It is also a lesson in “giving back,” sharing his good fortune with others through philanthropy and commitment to community.
