Fall of the Big Top
Once an eagerly awaited spectacle, the traveling circus--that miracle of red wagons, trumpeting elephants and spangled trapeze artists that slipped into town at dawn and disappeared by midnight--has all but vanished from the American landscape. This work explores circus history from 1793 to the present and addresses the forces of modern culture (such as the popularity of Cirque du Soleil, and pressure from the animal rights movement) that are pushing big top shows toward what the author calls "circus ballet." Numerous photographs and in-depth interviews conducted with show owners, performers and directors enrich the narrative. Overall, the book reveals a sobering contrast between circuses of yesterday and today, even as it honors the outstanding performers who created, and have sustained, the enduring appeal of the circus.

I Am
In scripture, a person’s name epitomizes the very essence of his identity. The abundance of God’s names in His Word showcases the many aspects of His identity that reflect the ways He meets the daily situations of our lives. God desires that we seek Him, know Him, and understand His ways. One can attain a deeper revelation of the majesty of God by what He has revealed about Himself through His names. A canvas of His names vividly displays the majesty of His inexhaustible character to one hungry to know Him. Gazing into the face of I AM through His names captivates the seeking heart to drink in the thirst-quenching beauty of our awesome God. I Am is a collection of 366 meditations on the names and attributes of God that reveals the splendor of His character to every heart seeking to know and understand Him. I Am invites those who long for new heights of joy and delight in His presence: • to discover daily revelations about Him • to develop a renewed passion to know Him • to experience deeper levels of intimacy with Him • to create a deeper longing for prayer to Him • to build a stronger foundation of faith in Him

THE DARK SIDE OF LEADERSHIP
This book highlights the fact that leaders do indeed affect the performance of organizations or the well-being of society for better or worse--to cast either a shadow or light by the exercise of their leadership. Modern psychology with its theories of human behavior, which does not acknowledge the existence of the spiritual realm, cannot explain the carnage and evil often associated with the dark side of leadership. This book focuses on the dark side of leadership in a multidimensional manner and provides a psychospiritual approach toward understanding personality disorders and leader derailment. It highlights an area that has not been exclusively studied by leadership researchers to date--t...
