“Have you been tormented by the thought of dying? Do you know the anguish of thinking that you or a loved one might suffer in hell forever? You are not alone. As I read Hope Beyond Hell, I cried for joy. It assures us of a Love that never gives up on us no matter how miserably we fail.”
Charles Slagle - Author, Evangelist

“I love Hope Beyond Hell; it changed my life. After 60 years of being afraid of God, I was finally introduced to the true God of infinite love, who is bound neither by time nor death; the Savior of the whole world.”
Dr. Terry Schwartz Prof., Wheaton College

“Not fancy theories, but numerous Scriptures and quotes from Bible scholars of many generations. Everyone needs to read and study this book.”
Richard W. Rundell, Ph.D.

"One of the best books ever written showing from Scripture that God's judgments are remedial.”
Dr. Stephen Jones, M.Div., D.D., Author, speaker

“As a hospice chaplain for 14 years, I counseled hundreds of dying patients. In my experience, Christians believing in eternal punishment, especially in literal fire, were much more fearful of death than others. How can this be since Christ came to free us from the fear of death (Heb. 2:15)? Hope Beyond Hell gives a Biblical basis for total peace in the face of death.”
Rev. Boyd Purcell, M.A., M.Div., Ph.D. Author, speaker

"The magnificent love and wisdom of God has not been written about with such clarity since the days of the patriarchs. I have waited 25 years for it."
Michael Wm. Gross, D.D., Th.D., Ph.D.

"Will inspire love, peace, joy, and hope – all the fruit of the Spirit – in your own heart."
Thomas Talbott, Professor Emeritus, Willamette University

"I first learned, espoused, and taught the truths presented in this book over 40 years ago. Hope Beyond Hell encapsulates them better than any I have read."
Bill Boylan, Ph.D., Author, Speaker

"This is an excellent book."
Bob Evely, M.Div., Asbury Theological Seminary

"Answers the questions we have been afraid to ask about God's unfailing love and inexhaustible patience."
Pastor Ivan A. Rogers, Former Bible College President

"One of the most balanced studies available on the remedial judgments of God and the great truth of the restoration of all things in Christ. A logical, common sense way the average layman can understand. This is a book about the love of God."
Rev. Terry Miller, M. Phil, Former Pres., Bethesda Mennonite Ins. of the Bible

"A bold and impassioned plea for Christians of every stripe to consider the grand proposition that God's goodness, grace and love reaches farther than most of us have ever dared to imagine. Gerry‘s comprehensive research of the biblical record and extra-biblical sources is powerfully, even overwhelmingly compelling. All who read this book with a spiritual mind and listen with spiritual ears will receive a deepened revelation of Christ in God."
Dr. Bruce A. Gerlach, Professor, College of the Ozarks

"Layer by layer, concept by concept, this book will loose the bonds of insanity that has plagued the Church for centuries."
Grady Brown, M.Th, D.Litt.
Director and founder of Dayspring Bible Ministries

"One of the most concise books covering the subject of the righteous purpose of God's judgment. The reader will see that God will not rest until He will become All in all (1Cor 15:28)."
Dr. Marian Paul Kampik, Silesian University, Poland

"Excellent and well researched. I have no doubt that the Holy Spirit is using Gerry at this very important time in Church history."
Rev. Rod Walton CJ: Anglican Ind Communion,
Founder of Bereavement Rescue, U K

"For decades I have questioned the need for and the justice of eternal punishment in light of God being love. This is a well-researched book, providing fresh insights into the teachings of the Church Fathers, and difficult texts like Mat. 25 and Luke 16. Even if one does not agree with his conclusion, one does feel reassured about the extent of God's love in Christ."

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.

Available for the first time, Rick Warren's#1 New York Times bestseller now includes forty unique QR Codes that link to exclusive videos of Rick Warren. These QR Code and video-based enhancements provide a cutting-edge, interactive experience to help you live out God's purpose for your life: reducing your stress, focusing your energy, simplifying your decisions, giving meaning to your life, and, most importantly, preparing you for eternity. A blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century, Warren offers his classic words of hope utilizing 21st century mobile and video technology for a whole new level of learning and engagement. Read, ponder, hear, and see Warren as he helps you discover the answer to life's fundamental question: What on earth am I here for? It's a fresh way to interact with a treasured book of hope that will be read, watched, and re-watched by you and by generations to come.

The spiritual premise in The Purpose-Driven Life is that there are no accidents---God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God's master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: "So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God's plan." Those who are looking for advice on finding one's calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as a "spiritually significant time," according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nation largest congregations. Warren's hope is that readers will "interact" with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is probably an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness. --Gail Hudson

It’s an insidious disease that is crippling companies, destroying our economy, and crushing potential. It’s infecting the very roots of business performance, and it’s spreading fast. It isn’t the recession, market volatility, scandal, or greed.

It’s entitlement.
And it may be killing your business.

In myriad ways, entitlement has been cultivated for decades. As a result, too many employees today believe that they are entitled to a paycheck simply because they show up. Brad Hams has proven that we are not doomed to a path of entitlement and dependence. After more than 15 years working with hundreds of companies, he knows that the vast majority of employees addicted to entitlement actually want to engage, want to contribute, and feel much better about themselves when they are in an environment that requires them to do so.

Now, with Ownership Thinking, Hams shares his strategy that will increase your company’s productivity, employee retention, and profitability:

• The Right Education: Teach employees the fundamentals of business and finance, how their company makes money, and how they add—or take away—value.
• The Right Measures: Identify the organization’s Key Performance Indicators and teach employees to forecast results in an environment of high visibility and accountability.
• The Right Incentives: Create incentive plans that are self-funding and clearly align employees’ behavior to the organization’s business and financial objectives.

Your employees will learn to think and act like owners and will become active participants in the financial performance of the business. They will gain the self-esteem that is only possible through achievement and will reap rewards that are in alignment with the success of their organization. Meanwhile, you will enjoy your role more, sleep better at night, and leave a legacy that is far more inspiring and significant than you dreamed possible.

Praise for Ownership Thinking

“You would have to read a dozen other books to even come close to Ownership Thinking—a systematic and practical process for getting your employees to give that extra effort and brain power we know they possess.”
—Verne Harnish, CEO, Gazelles; author, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits

“Brad Hams tells it like it truly is: transparency creates trust; trust creates engagement; engagement creates a healthy enterprise. This thoughtful and practical book shows you how to achieve all of these things and more.”
—Chip Conley, founder and executive chair, Joie de Vivre; author, Peak

“Comprehensive and marvelously clear, Ownership Thinking’s techniques for creating change are focused, direct, and motivating. This is a wise book, unusually useful, and I recommend it most highly.”
—Judith M. Bardwick, Ph.D., author, Danger in the Comfort Zone and The Psychological Recession

“Brad Hams is one of the most persuasive and creative thinkers I know. His book is a specific guide you can (and should) implement now.”
—Corey Rosen, founder, National Center for Employee Ownership

“Hams is masterful at outlining the engagement practices that inspire people to care and to be deeply vested in business results.”
—Jim Haudan, CEO, Root Learning; author, The Art of Engagement

“Hams’ book is like a candid conversation with a wise friend. . . . A ‘must read’ for any business leader wanting to create a culture of ownership.”
—Dean Schroeder, author, Ideas Are Free
