The Financial Advisor’s Definitive Guide to Niche Marketing In Uncomparable, veteran financial services marketing consultant Kristen Luke challenges the traditional concept of striving to be the best financial advisor in the industry. Instead, encourages financial advisors to become "uncomparable" by owning a niche and establishing themselves as an expert in solving one problem for one type of client. In this book, Luke argues that being "better" than the competition is not enough because you can be surpassed by other financial advisors who add just one additional service or implement a slightly superior approach. In contrast, by positioning yourself as unique and focusing on developing and promoting your expertise to a narrow set of clients, you become uncomparable and stand out as a leader in your space. This book offers practical advice to help you identify your niche and build your marketing strategy to attract your ideal clientele. With a refreshing perspective on business differentiation and actionable steps for standing out in a crowded marketplace, Uncomparable will allow you to find your path to marketing success.

An all-new holiday meet-cute romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby and 1001 Dark Nights… There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays. My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all. So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be. Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly. After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family. But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger...no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind. Then again, Mama always said, “Never say never…” **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.

You are called to Truth. Jesus came to fulfill Scripture, to seek and save the lost, and to testify to the truth. But truth can sometimes take a minute to grasp because we contend with it in a variety of ways under a variety of circumstances. Once Jesus collides with our lives—our deepest needs, cultural biases, personal motivations, even prideful objections—the outcome can be infuriating. Or exhilarating. Or anything in between. In The Chosen Book Four, explore the angles from which you can better see Jesus and the things He taught. Learn from His followers how to really hear. To repent. To wait on His wisdom and timing. To obey. Written to accompany the hit multi-season series, each of these forty devotions contains a Scripture, a unique look into a Gospel story, suggestions for prayer, and questions that lead you further in your relationship with Christ. May we welcome His rebuke and testify to the Truth who is ever working within us...the outcome of which will, indeed, be nothing short of exhilarating.
What does climate change have to do with religion and spirituality? Even though a changing environment will have a dire impact on human populations--affecting everything from food supply to health to housing--the vast majority of Americans do not consider climate change a moral or a religious issue. Yet the damage of climate change, a phenomenon to which we all contribute through our collective carbon emissions, presents an unprecedented ethical problem, one that touches a foundational moral principle of Christianity: Jesus's dictate to love the neighbor. This care for the neighbor stretches across time as well as space. We are called to care for the neighbors of the future as well as those of the present. How can we connect the ethical considerations of climate change--the knowledge that our actions directly or indirectly cause harm to others--to our individual and collective spiritual practice? Christianity in a Time of Climate Change offers a series of reflective essays that consider the Christian ethics of climate change and suggest ways to fold the neighbors of the future into our spiritual lives as an impetus to meaningful personal, social, and ultimately environmental transformations.

Juliet Lawler has a score to settle against the drug dealers of Denver. Vance Crowe has made it his mission that Jules won’t get dead while dishing out vigilante justice. Jules doesn’t have time for romance, she’s too busy saving the world. In this effort, she enlists Zip (a gun store owner), Heavy (an ex-PI) and Frank (a mysterious recluse) to help. The Rock Chicks get involved to provide advice and guidance. The Hot Bunch adopt Jules as one of their own. Even though Jules tries to hang on to her inner Head-Crackin’ Mamma Jamma, the Rock Chicks, Hot Bunch, Jules’s long-suffering Uncle Nick and her Jackie-O wannabe friend May, will stop at nothing to wear her down. Not to mention Vance, who has his own unique ways of digging into Jules’s heart. But Jules makes some bad guys pretty angry, and one will stop at nothing to take her out. And Vance may be too late in making sure that doesn’t happen.
Many people were surprised when Jesus was born. Even those who were supposed to know, seemed clueless. Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, God sent messengers to tell the people all about His plan.
This theological discourse addresses the significance of the Eucharist and the nature of the bread used in its celebration. It argues against the use of unleavened bread, asserting that leavened bread is more appropriate due to its connection to life and perfection, aligning with the teachings of Jesus and the traditions of the early Church. The text warns against heretical interpretations and emphasizes the importance of self-examination before partaking in the sacrament. It concludes by reinforcing the idea that true communion with Christ entails using leavened bread, which symbolizes the living faith of the Church.

Roxie Logan is on the run from a bad boyfriend who just will not catch a hint that it is o-v-e-r. She’s not in the mood for love at first sight. Unfortunately, her eyes fall on Hank Nightingale, and she knows it’s trouble from the get-go. Roxie tries to hold Hank at arm’s length, but Hank wants to be a lot closer (as in, a lot a lot). Roxie’s trouble catches up with her and Hank wants to help, but Roxie knows in her heart that she’s no good for a White Hat type of guy. The problem is, no one agrees with her, especially her crazy, hippie best friend, Annette, or her parents, the even crazier, small-town Herb and Trish, or her even crazier Uncle Tex, or any of her newfound posse of Rock Chicks. Roxie’s got the odds stacked against her and has no choice but to hold on and ride it out through kidnappings, car chases, society parties and a wild night at the Haunted House. And what she’s holding on to through it all is Hank.
Encounter Jesus the way his followers did. Every follower of Jesus in the Gospels had a not-so-great “before”: A brash fisherman. A pious religious leader. A demon-possessed woman. A thieving tax collector. Christ’s love saw beyond their brokenness and forgave. Jesus revolutionized the lives of those who followed Him. And He’s still doing it today. Each of the forty devotions in The Chosen contains a Scripture, a unique look into a Gospel story, suggestions for prayer, and questions that lead you further in your relationship with Christ. See Jesus through the eyes of those who knew him best, and explore the backstories of people like Mary Magdalene, Peter, Matthew, Nicodemus, and more. It’s hard to relate to the sinless Son of God, but we can all identify with the sinners. You too can be transformed: Jesus sees past your "before" to the person He is creating you to be.
Christianity Today Book Award Winner Justice requires perseverance--a deep perseverance we can't muster on our own. The world's needs are staggering and even the most passion-driven reactions, strategies, and good intentions can falter. But we serve a God who never falters, who sees the needs, hears the cries, and gives strength--through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit--to his people. Offering a comprehensive biblical theology of justice drawn from the whole story of Scripture, this book invites us to know more intimately the God who loves justice and calls us to give our lives to seek the flourishing of others. The authors explore stories of injustice around the globe today and spur Christians to root their passion for justice in the persevering hope of Christ. They also offer practices that can further form us into people who join God's work of setting things right in the world. Now in paper with an added reader's guide.
The explosive conclusion to the St. James Security Series... Luke When Bethany was hired at St. James Security, I knew I needed to make her mine. But that was easier said than done because of Ike, Bethany's brother, who just so happens to also be my boss. If Ike were to find out about my feelings for his sister, he'd end me. Eventually, though, I threw caution to the wind and let my need for her overrule my common sense. I don't regret it, as the heat between us turned scorching hot in a hurry. Then the unthinkable happened. This book is darker than the previous two books in the series. If you do not enjoy darker elements of romance, this book may not be for you.

Un Black Storks ne connaît pas la peur. Lullaby est au bord du gouffre, elle a un besoin urgent d’argent et de protection. Elle pense avoir trouvé la solution quand elle fait la rencontre du sombre et mystérieux Philéas, qui lui propose un job un peu spécial. Le bad boy fait partie des Black Storks, un club officiellement spécialisé dans la livraison de colis. Mais dans la réalité, il ne faut pas s’attendre à voir les Storks débarquer sur votre paillasson, une boîte de pizza à la main ! Ces riders sont les meilleurs transporteurs illégaux de Californie. Et pour cause, que ce soit en voiture de course ou à moto, ils n’ont peur de personne. Pour se faire respecter, Lullaby va devoir prouver aux Black Storks qu’elle mérite son job et sa place parmi eux. Mais son plus grand défi sera surtout de ne succomber ni à la peur, ni au désir que lui inspire Philéas, le plus sexy et dangereux d’entre eux… *** Comme dans la plupart des fast-foods, nous organisons les anniversaires des marmots. Martin m’a désignée pour animer la fête de la petite vingtaine de gamins surexcités. J’ignorais qu’animer ce genre d’événement, ça voulait dire enfiler un déguisement de patate géante pour plonger dans la piscine à boules la plus crasseuse de l’univers afin de rattraper un mioche récalcitrant. Suant à grosses gouttes sous mon costume de l’horreur, je me tiens au milieu des mômes, un couteau à la main. Il ne s’agit pas d’en étriper un, non que l’envie me manque, mais je dois couper le gâteau au chocolat décoré d’une affreuse tête de Winnie l’Ourson en vingt parts égales. « Essaie d’être aimable », serine ma conscience. J’adresse un sourire à l’enfant roi du jour. ‒ Alors, ta maman a voulu représenter ton héros de Disney préféré ? Elle est gentille ! ‒ Quoi ? C’est moi ! chouine-t-il. C’est ma tête sur le gâteau ! Ah. Oups ! Bien énervé, le gamin se met à mordiller ma jambe. ‒ Arrête, petit… Sourd à ma supplication, le morveux garde ses dents fermement ancrées dans mon déguisement. C’est au moment où je me penche en avant pour essayer de dégager le bambin que la porte du restaurant s’ouvre. Plus par habitude que par curiosité, j’y jette un œil et découvre la présence d’un homme, que l’on ne peut que remarquer. Bien bâti, les épaules larges, une carrure de celles que l’on ne croise pas tous les jours. Ses cheveux foncés tombent sur ses épaules et, quand ses yeux d’un noir profond s’ancrent dans les miens, c’est comme si la Terre s’était arrêtée de tourner. Cet inconnu n’est pas « beau ». Il est tellement plus ! Lorsqu’il avance vers moi, je perçois cette étrange énergie qui émane de lui. Il est viril. Et moi, je suis habillée en patate avec un enfant toujours accroché à la cheville. La vie est une garce, vraiment ! *** Black Storks, de Kristen Rivers, histoire intégrale.
