    Jesus Hasn't Given Up on Small, Exploited, and Overlooked Places—and Neither Should We 
    Many young people entering ministry and starting careers believe success requires them to leave their communities. After all, the fastest-growing congregations, the highest-profile ministries, and the best opportunities are in big cities or their wealthy suburbs, aren't they? 
    But Jesus didn't ignore the small, the exploited, or the overlooked places, and neither should his followers. 
    In this reflective yet eminently applicable book, pastor Charles E. Cotherman, executive director of the Center for Rural Ministry, challenges our assumptions through stories that showcase the power and beauty of a faithful presence in seemingly insignificant places. Drawing on his lifetime of experience in rural communities and churches, Cotherman demonstrates the outsized impact we can have when we have the courage to stay, root where we're planted, and serve God with joy. 
    Whether your community is rural or in the rust belt, whether you're surrounded by endless corn or abandoned mining operations, Jesus still sees you and has a plan for your life and ministry. Discover how you can make a difference right where you are—starting now.

    Earl Shoaff (March 21, 1916 - September 6, 1965) was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. Shoaff was very influential in the early life of inspirational speaker Jim Rohn. At the age of 25, Rohn heard a "laws of success" lecture given by Shoaff and went to work for him. Rohn’s later work helped launch or further the career of many others in the personal development industry, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. This recording is from a public lecture that Shoaff gave in the early 1950’s, and it is called “How To Become A Millionaire.”

    "Ben Wikler is one of the most strategic and respected leaders of his generation. If we do what this book says, we will win." ―Nancy Pelosi 
     
    From one of the most successful Democratic strategists of the last decade, a revelatory account of what you―yes, you―can do to defeat Trumpism. 
     
    This Is the Plan is a hope-unleashing answer for anyone who has looked at the wreckage of American politics and asked: How the hell do we get out of this mess? Ben Wikler, hailed as the "preeminent state party chair" by Nancy Pelosi, led Wisconsin Democrats through a series of hold-your-breath fights against right-wing extremists that resulted, against the odds, in the unrigging of the political system of the most divided―and, until recently, most gerrymandered―state in the nation. Now, he draws on decades of experience in everything from school-board races to presidential elections to bring listeners inside the hidden web of power that shapes our lives. At every step, he shows what individuals and small groups can do to help build a future where democracy thrives and our country works for everyone. With verve, infectious humor, and a rallying-cry energy that has inspired tens of thousands of volunteers, This Is the Plan is the book so many Americans have been waiting for: An idealistic, yet, practical guide to turning the present crisis into a better future.
