Hey God. Hey John. : John Roedel
Hey God. Hey John. : What Happens When God Writes Back.
John Roedel is a comic who began posting on Facebook about his ongoing faith crisis in 2015. What began as a flippant way of making light of his doubts in the Divine turned into something he wasn’t at all prepared for: God wrote back.
Since creating the popular “Hey God. Hey John.” blog on Facebook three years ago, John has tackled such topics as his journey to mental health wellness, his lack of faith, the joy and pain of raising a child with autism, and grief, all in the form of a simple conversation with God.
This is a “Dark Night Of The Soul” For modern times. It is 544 pages of a journey from doubt into hope where the reader will start to feel like each entry was written just for them.
John Roedel was the least likely person to ever write a book like this. That’s probably why you should read it.

Common Sense Leadership : Ronald Harper
Common Sense Leadership
Common Sense Leadership is full of insight and ideas. These give a different approach to leading. Leading is important. But, the qualities of a leader are only as important as those that need them.
Common Sense Leadership is encompassed by a psychological base. It isn’t rule bound nor instructive. It is meant to be elusive. It isn’t meant to identify anything that is either good, bad or indifferent.
Common Sense is Universal. Some of my writing will be. Insight and ideas are different. Their extent of use depends upon you; and how or if you would like to apply them.
Positive circling, sharing a vision, and managing energy are essential to a workplace. Running a workplace with raw energy is a challenge. Boundaries, leveraging against the downside, validating achievement, and spiking attitudes with a bonus help to control it. Understanding power and people also help. Many workers have been side tracked today.
I believe labels and talk have a lot to do with “not finding something better to do.” This doesn’t help us when it comes to working together.
Understanding your workforce and understanding how to create an environment that optimizes it makes sense. To lead with that direction makes sense as well. I am happy to share my interest in your efforts.

Reflections Upon A Sunny Day : Fred H. Kornahrens III , Scott Steedley & Joseph Kornahrens
Reflections Upon A Sunny Day: An Autobiography by Murderer and Death Row Escapee Fred H. Kornahrens III
Fred H. Kornahrens III is one of South Carolina’s most famous criminals. He was condemned to death row and then, to the shock of the entire state, managed to escape. In the years that followed, people discussed Kornahrens’s story. Everyone had an opinion about the man, but few knew the truth. Now, he tells all in Reflections Upon a Sunny Day.
As a child, Kornahrens suffered from the unstable parenting of his mentally ill mother and aggressive father. When the two weren’t fighting each other, they were taking out their frustrations on a helpless child. Kornahrens’s mother was eventually hospitalized numerous times for schizophrenia but found no relief in the asylum.
Kornahrens himself began exhibiting signs of mental illness, but his upbringing hadn’t given him the tools to cope. He thought he found a purpose when he joined the military, but his career did not last long. He hoped he could make up for his parent’s faults by providing for his own family, but this proved to be the biggest mistake of all.
Finally, Kornahrens’s damaged psyche collapsed, and the resulting tragedy devastated the community. He has written his story, trying to make sense of what happened—for himself and for his readers.
