  The Expert Generalist: An Unpaved Road to Leadership is a compelling exploration of how fortitude, adaptability, and resilience can transform a life shaped by adversity into one of purpose and leadership. From growing up in poverty in the American South to thriving in global boardrooms, Monique Lecomte shares lessons on overcoming obstacles, embracing feedback, and finding strength in creativity and connection. Through personal stories and actionable insights, this book inspires readers to craft their path, embrace versatility, and lead with authenticity and vision. 
  Through candid stories—from navigating Southern Baptist culture to selling peaches in a K-Mart parking lot—Monique unpacks what it means to be an "expert generalist," someone who adapts, connects across disciplines, and innovates. She shares actionable insights with each chapter, empowering readers to stand tall, make new plans, and advocate for themselves. 
  Monique’s message encourages individuals and organizations to foster mentorship, pursue innovation, and lead purposefully. Her book is more than a story of overcoming adversity; it’s a call to embrace your unique journey, navigate your unpaved road, and design a life and career that reflects your true potential.

  "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao."
  
  In a world of constant striving and noise, the Tao Te Ching offers a radical alternative: the path of the "Way." Laozi's cryptic yet beautiful verses explore the paradoxes of existence, teaching that true power comes from yielding, and true wisdom comes from silence. This is not just a book of philosophy; it is a practical guide to reclaiming your natural state of being. By understanding the flow of the universe, one can navigate life's challenges with effortless grace and profound peace.
  
  The Concept of Wu Wei (Effortless Action): The central tenet of the text is Wu Wei, often translated as "non-action" or "effortless doing." Laozi argues that like water—which is the softest substance yet can wear away the hardest stone—we are most effective when we stop forcing our will upon the world and instead align ourselves with the natural flow of the "Tao."
  
  The Three Treasures: Laozi identifies three core virtues for a meaningful life: Compassion, Frugality, and Humility. The Tao Te Ching suggests that by stripping away the complications of ego and desire, we return to the "Uncarved Block"—our original, pure, and potent nature.
  
  A Guide for Leadership and Life: Unlike many political treatises, the Tao Te Ching advocates for a leader who governs with a light touch, trusting in the people and the natural order. Its wisdom is equally applicable to the CEO, the artist, or the seeker, providing a timeless sanctuary for anyone looking to simplify their life and find their center.

  Between Two Rivers - Ancient...

  Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. 
   
   
   
  What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth. 
   
   
   
  In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE. 
   
   
   
  Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives―with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies―vividly close to our own.

  The Church in the United States is greatly blessed by the contributions of Black Catholics and the legacy of holiness of so many men and women of color. These men and women lived lives that are worthy of our study and emulation. 
   
   
   
  In Black Catholics on the Road to Sainthood, Michael R. Heinlein provides the first book to explore the lives of the six Black Catholics from the United States whose causes are under formal consideration by the Catholic Church for canonization. Including biographies and personal reflections from diverse contributors, this book shows how these six men and women provide a model of holiness for all Catholics and people of good will. Venerable Pierre Toussaint, Venerable Henriette Delille, Venerable Father Augustus Tolton, Servant of God Mother Mary Lange, Servant of God Julia Greeley, and Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman are sources of inspiration for us all. 
   
   
   
  As we continue to pray for the advancement of their causes for canonization, all Catholics of every race can learn a great deal from these holy men and women. By their stories of faith and virtue, they show us how to respond to the call to holiness, bringing healing, reconciliation, and peace to our wounded nation and world.
