Book: Jesus Drank, Judas Repented and God Divorced His Bride

Using solid Biblical references, this book seeks to stir up heightened interest in what the Bible says by questioning even the most primary, and most popular biblical teachings.

MOST religious books are "sugar coated" and non-controversial. But, the Bible isn't that way. Neither is Jesus Drank, Judas Repented and God Divorced His Bride. If you do an objective study of the contents of the Bible, you'll discover that God can be quite a difficult God. While much of Christ popularity came from the miracles he performed, those in power took notice because of his understanding of Hebrew law (Old Testament) and his outspoken intolerance for arrogance and self-righteousness among the "religious" crowd.

Book: Climbing the Ladder of Business Intelligence:
Happy About Creating Excellence through Enabled Intuition

Good decision-making is rare in the business world and most businesses are not operating anywhere near their capacity. The goal of "Climbing the Ladder of Business Intelligence" is to introduce an intelligence framework that builds a foundation for success. The Ladder is a framework that enables the skillful management of intelligence. The right intelligence is delivered to the right people at the right time. This creates an intelligent organization - one with excellence in all its operations and the ability to sustain success.

"In every corporation I have worked for, I have sought to strike an alignment between the business units and the IT organization. The Ladder allows people working in business processes to utilize technology to answer the key questions that they have to ask (people-process-technology). The Ladder framework pushes employees to focus on asking the right questions, getting the right information and making the right decisions (question-information-decision). These two powerful ideas, people-process-technology and question-information-decision, are framed in a step-by-step approach - the Circle of Success that allows any company to increase the payback out of their IT investments. The Ladder and the Circle of Success give every company the tools to attain excellence. The power of the Ladder as a framework lies in its simplicity. Striving for excellence will come naturally."
Maynard Webb, CEO, LiveOps
