Today’s women are asking, where have all the “good men” gone? And it is no wonder. Over the last decade, with female empowerment they got a fairer shot at equality, but have they really gotten what they wished for when you throw in the family responsibilities, dual jobs, and the rise of the single mom? Have all these gains made women happier or more fulfilled while men’s primary role in society reduced to become “female compliant”? The author has also observed that as men and women age they also differ in the way they approach life. Women tend to want more and men tend to want less. Is this difference in mindset compatible? Regg dives into equal rights, sexism and living in this new age of male decline and female assertion.

Through the years women have made substantial progress when it comes to workplace equality; however, we still have a long way to go. Studies affirm women are now earning more college degrees and are climbing the corporate ladder in record numbers. Despite these statistics, the gender wage gap remains, and only a small amount of women are employed in executive levels across various industries. Why the disparity? Gender stereotypes, which are partly to blame, are slow to change. Although some leadership books have encouraged women to “act like a man,” that faulty logic and behavior won’t help women lead with respect and authenticity. Where can women get credible advice on how to genuinely lead without compromising their integrity? In Unlimited: Conquering the Myth of the Glass Ceiling, Dr. Cortney Baker explains the four challenges women encounter when climbing the corporate ladder, while providing practical solutions for each one. Based on her current research, she encourages women to lead in ways that gain trust while maintaining integrity and confidence.

There is just as much abuse in Christian homes as in non-Christian homes,” according to the Christian Coalition against Domestic Abuse. A Journey through Emotional Abuse answers the difficult question: “Am I being abused?” along with many theological questions such as, “Do I have to submit to this?” “Does God care about me?” and “Does the Bible say I can leave him?” Providing abused women with important information, in bite-size pieces, along with emotional support, the book walks readers through the Matthew 18 process of reconciling with a brother, allowing the church to intervene.

For years, amateur golfers have been going to see pros to learn how to improve their game. If there were some major technical difficulties that the pro could correct, the amateurs would come away with an improved game.For most of us, we might see an improvement or two under the watchful eye of the pro, but when we returned to the course, our bad golf game simply returned. Even if we remembered the technical changes, we simply could not hit the ball on the sweet spot time after time like the pros.There is a very simple explanation as to why this is the case—the golf pro has good hand-eye coordination, and you don’t.Most of us are not blessed with great hand-eye coordination like the pure ball strikers that you see on the television each weekend. Does this mean that you are doomed to forever be relegated to the land of the high handicap? For years, author Larry Carpenter thought that was the case, but when he realized what the basic problem was, he was able to develop alternative techniques that helped him improve his game. Using these techniques, he was able to take his handicap from the high twenties down to single digits.In this book, Larry Carpenter shares with you the techniques that he adopted to compensate for not having the incredible hand-eye coordination that single-digit golfers normally possess. When they say don’t be mechanical and play by feel, you simply have to realize that if you try to hit the ball by feel, you’re going to whiff it. And you are going to be continually frustrated by your high handicap. The techniques in this book are based upon mechanical principles, best exemplified by the equipment testing robot, Iron Byron, that enable the less blessed golfer to compensate for their lack of hand-eye coordination and stand a much better chance of making solid contact with the ball every swing.

There is an insidious epidemic that has swept around the world. This disease is the absence of the father in our households. It is not a virus but just as debilitating and deadly, perhaps more so, and the source of many of the tribulations our societies are enduring. The father, or head, is the keystone of our family units. God intended specific roles and responsibilities for his children and created man to assume the lead position within the family unit. Where the head is missing, dysfunction, sin, and sorrow are free to fill the void. The effects are generational and have far-reaching implications. Not Without the Head explores the core issues surrounding the absence of fathers in society. Bro. Fredrick Ezeji-Okoye has written an insightful and educational guide to help us understand both the physical and emotional effects the absence of fathers causes in our families. The author tells of his own experiences and shares the testimony of others with firsthand knowledge of the subject. Not Without the Head includes pertinent Biblical references and support of the author’s perspective and advice.
