Children of the Knight : Michael J. Bowler
Children of the Knight
According to legend, King Arthur is supposed to return when Britain needs him most. So why does a man claiming to be the once and future king suddenly appear in modern-day Los Angeles?
This charismatic young Arthur creates a new Camelot within the City of Angels to lead a crusade of unwanted kids against an adult society that discards and ignores them. Under his banner of equality, every needy child is welcome, regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, or gang affiliation.
With the help of his amazing First Knight, homeless fourteen-year-old Lance, Arthur transforms this ragtag band of rejected children and teens into a well-trained army—the Children of the Knight.
Through his intervention, they win the hearts and minds of the populace at large, and gain a truer understanding of themselves and their worth to society. But seeking more rights for kids pits Arthur and his children squarely against the rich, the influential, and the self-satisfied politicians who want nothing more than to maintain the status quo.
Can right truly overcome might? Arthur’s hopeful young knights are about to find out, and the City of Angels will never be the same.
The Knight Cycle Begins . . .

Godless Americana : Sikivu Hutchinson
Godless Americana: Race and Religious Rebels
In Godless Americana, author Sikivu Hutchinson challenges the myths behind Americana images of Mom, Apple pie, white picket fences, and racially segregated god-fearing Main Street USA.
In this timely essay collection, Hutchinson argues that the Christian evangelical backlash against Women’s rights, social justice, LGBT equality, and science threatens to turn back the clock on civil rights. As a result of this climate, more people of color are exploring atheism, agnosticism, and freethought.
Godless Americana examines these trends, providing a groundbreaking analysis of faith and radical humanist politics in an era of racial, sexual, and religious warfare.

Goad of Honor : Stephen P. Byers
Goad of Honor
In the game of life, the rich get richer despite themselves; the rest struggle on, dying in war, going to jail, making their way against the odds, but there’s more, much more, hidden behind this axiom. Who are they? And how did they get in this mess.
One of them is the son of the third generation wealthy man and his money-hungry wife who abdicate parental responsibilities to a hired Nanny and imported servants, imparting no family values to the unqualified offspring who will inherit the money machine. Another is the son of the illiterate security guard who accepts a distasteful task only because he is promised an education for his children he knows he cannot otherwise provide.
The third is an arrogant opportunist who emulates his unsympathetic tyrannical father in a self-centered existence. The time is the summer of 1937, four years after the end of prohibition and the problem to be unraveled is what really happened at the distillery during the thirteen years of illegal whiskey production and how did they get away with it?

Leadership by Virtue : Jaro Berce
Leadership by Virtue
The book Leadership by Virtue is written as a novel following the daily life of a CEO who accepted the challenge to merge two companies. The book uses provocative approaches to reorganization in order to successfully merge the companies. The older telecom company still majors on older technology (like landline phones) and is staffed with long term employed people that do not adapt to changes as quickly as the younger generation of the other company does. Many issues and problems arise from this particular difference between the two companies.
In the book different settings are also well intertwined. We follow this manager at his office, martial arts practice as well as in the private life at home, where he and his pretty much supportive wife »wrestle« with their teenager son who is immersed in modern technology. While practicing martial arts the main character learns concepts and many secrets of Far East mentality through his mentor, Shifu, and it is where from he takes his unusual insights, approaches and solutions to apply them at his business.
The book, therefore, is not just a simple fiction novel, it is an eye opening and challenging, it provokes thinking and is altogether a tremendous learning experience of a substantially different approach to the leadership. An exceptional presentation of how to blend the eastern and the western practices and thinking for improved and more successful leadership process. If you are involved in any kind of a leadership, the book is a must read, although it proves to be a good read sitting next to a fireplace, too.
