Steve Briggs is a business and life insurance consultant, having retired from a senior executive position in a major life insurance company after almost 40 years of service. Encountering his son s battle with drug and alcohol abuse brought him to his knees as he came to realize how little he could do to help his son break away from his addiction. Frustrated by hours of seemingly unanswered prayer he went to the Bible for answers and as the answers came and as he began to experience some peace in the midst of the storm he felt a clear call to share with others what God had done for him. He and his wife Lynn founded The Freedom Source, a not-for- profit organization dedicated to helping others find help when they or those they love are faced with such a struggle. The Freedom Source then spawned The Addiction Prevention Coalition which is engaged in challenging area youth to a leadership role in helping their generation resist the lure and destructive results of the drug and alcohol sub-culture through training in character, decision making and service, all with a foundation of truth based on Biblical principles. The frequency with which they met families and individuals who were struggling with their faith in the face of such adversity led Steve to pen this monograph, in the hope that his own struggle with whether God really answers prayer might help others work through the challenges to a closer walk with God, to a personal relationship of friendship rather than providing God a to do list when needed, to a realization that He just wants us to spend some time with Him and listen to Him, so He can give us that peace that passes all understanding.

Does God Always Answer Prayer?

Entrepreneurs not only know the answer to cure America s economic malaise, they are the answer. Coach Blackwell, helps you swim upstream in good economic times and bad. Your future prosperity is not determined by the economy as much as your knowledge about why entrepreneurs succeed or fail. Derived from decades of research and practical experience, this book is for three types of readers: 1. People with the dream of starting a business 2. Owners of existing firms wanting to grow larger 3. Investors wanting to grow their savings (and anyone who wants to know how to be prosperous instead of poor) Investing in entrepreneurs can be as profitable as being one when you understand the S Curve of Entrepreneurial Growth to identify firms turning a thousand dollar investment into millions in return. Young readers discover how to be an Einstein at investing and mature readers learn how to prevent their retirement income from expiring before they do. Nothing is as practical as good theory, tested in the laboratory of the market place. Building a firm without knowing entrepreneurial theory is as dangerous as building an airplane without knowing aerodynamics and structural engineering. Theories are validated with success principles at Apple, Aldi, CheckFree (Fiserve), Google and Walmart and many less-familiar firms. From Amazon to Worthington Industries, Blackwell shows how to implement down-to-earth principles empowering ordinary women and men to rise to extraordinary heights. In conversations with this master teacher: learn how to create fortunes with centrifugal growth, turn customers into fans, learn multi-market segmentation, study the polarity of retailing, and participate in global thinking. You ll understand why cash is king, the potentially lethal disease of "restaurantitis", and the underlying strategy causing Amazon's success.

"I wanted to write a very scholarly book where a high school student or average man or woman would find it to be a compelling read," Simmons said. "What I had found in my research was that most books written on validity of the Bible were very scholarly, but there was nothing out there for average people." - Richard E. Simmons III

Literature & Fiction

Men just get this book. It seems to resonate with them. Men who don't read many books read this one and want to get it into the hands of others. Why? Because Richard Simmons gets it. He understands and identifies the ultimate issue all men face regardless of age, race, or marital status.
 Men very often define who they are by what they have done with their lives or other external things. And when they do that, they unknowingly set a trap for failure in their personal lives. Richard Simmons 
Gathering support from the writings of noted authors and social commentators, Christian and secular, Simmons emphatically reminds us that every man at some point in life suffers misfortune. No one is exempt. However, the challenges of life offer men the potential for great good. In the midst of these struggles, we have the opportunity to see our lives transformed.
The True Measure of a Man is uplifting, challenging, and most of all it points the way to personal and spiritual growth based on the one, true measure we were meant to use. With the free downloadable study guide, it serves as a superb resource for men s groups and church ministries. This book will change your life . . . and, perhaps, the lives of those closest to you.

The True Measure of a Man: How Perception of Success, Achievement & Recognition Fail Men in Difficult Times

Richard E. Simmons III

Foreword by Jerry Leachman

This book takes a hard look at what is currently taking place sexually among college students. A new attitude towards sex has evolved and is profoundly effecting young people in a destructive way. College students are “hooking up” on a regular basis. A hookup, is simply when two people accept and participate in casual sexual encounters that focus only on physical pleasure, without any type of relational commitment or emotional bonding. In most colleges today, sex has become another form of recreation that you fit into your schedule, like studying or exercising. Sex at First Sight explains how the hookup has come into being, how pornography is a major factor influencing a student’s view of sex, and how this new perspective on sexuality is impacting the lives and future sex lives of this generation of young people. The book ends by examining God’s design for sexuality. Our souls have a deep longing to belong and be accepted and to have soul oneness. All of us desire to alleviate our sense of loneliness and to be deeply and permanently connected with someone else. This is why God created sex. It is the means of expressing and achieving complete life unity between a man and a woman in the covenant relationship of marriage. This book is written for those in college, those soon to enter college and their parents.

This book examines what I consider one of life s greatest paradox, that strength is found in humility. The problem is, humility does not come naturally to us. As we grow up, we find that pride is ingrained in our very being as we seek to prove to the world that our lives matter. We want to stand out in the crowd. Very few of us want to be completely out of the limelight with a sense that his or her life is not important. One of the most important truths I have learned over the course of my life is that we are responsible for seeking a humble life and cultivating a humble heart. We must therefore realize that humility is a choice that we must first make, and then pursue. - Richard E. Simmons III
