Free to Be Me, by Betty Robison

Free to Be Me by Betty Robison

A Journey through Fear to Freedom

Do you feel insecure, plain, or ordinary? Are you afraid to fail? Do you worry about “rocking the boat” in relationships—and losing those you love? Do you think you have to “be good” for God to love you? Has your passion for life dimmed?

You’re Not Alone.

Free to Be Me is her story—of how a shy girl from Texas moved from insecurity to true freedom when she discovered that God loves us and accepts us just as we are right now. And not only that: God longs to show us how to break out of our individual prisons of negative thoughts, past behaviors, and distructive patterns. For only then can we be fully free—to be the unique person He’s created each of us to be.

“You will be deeply touched by her testimony of liberty from fear and insecurity. She is the real thing.”
-- Beth Moore

The Road Ahead by Bill Gates of Microsoft

The Road Ahead By Bill Gates

Do I have to learn how to use a computer on the road ahead?

Bill Gates' Road Ahead

Take a look at The Road Ahead. We have all been bombarded by the seemingly endless hype about the information super highway and the coming age of technology. Now, Bill Gates – who built Microsoft in to one of the most successful companies in the world – gives us his vision of what the future holds for us. The Road Ahead is his bird’s-eye view of the undiscovered territory on the information highway – an authoritative, thought-provoking, and very readable travel guide for the journey.

In this optimistic and refreshingly realistic book, Gates looks ahead to show how the emerging technologies of the digital age will transform all of our lives. As he has said, we are on the brink of a new revolution, and crossing a technology threshold that will forever change the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. In The Road Ahead, Gates takes us back to when he chose to drop out of Harvard to start his own software company in order to participate in the rise of the personal computer dh foresaw. Just as the personal computer revolutionized the way we work, the tools of the information age – which are, even now, becoming everyday reality – will transform the way we make choices about almost everything

Bill Gates is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Microsoft Corporation.

Led by the belief that personal computers would be on every desktop and in every home, he co-founded Microsoft in 1975. His enduring vision and goal of making software easier and more enjoyable for professional and lay people alike are central to Microsoft’s success and continue to shape the entire software industry. Born and raised in Seattle, Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, still reside in Seattle.

Moneyball by Michael Lewis

Moneyball, by Michael Lewis 5 CD Audio Book 2003

The art of winning an unfair game.

Read by the Author

In Moneyball Michael Lewis tells the story of how the Oakland Athletics, a small undervalued sports club, finds talented athletes on a small budget, and manage to win more regular season games than expected.
He explores the notion that professional baseball is becoming less of an athletic competition and more of a financial one. In 2002 the richest team, New York Yankees had a payroll of about 140 million dollars in contrast the Oakland A’s had about 47 million. Lewis tells the story of how talent scouts under the direction of Billy Beane, found a new way, the Harvard way, to find good players at bargain prices. Lewis in his entertaining style tells us about sabermetrics, the art of studying baseball data to find what looks like coal to be a diamond in the rough. Systematic scientific investigations of the sport lead the team to their bargains in talent. As the author states, “The story is about professional baseball and the people who play it. At its’ center is a man whose life was turned upside down by professional baseball, and who miraculously found a way to return the favor. Billy Beane”

”"One of the best baseball and baseball management books out....Deserves a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame."
-Forbes

Michael Lewis is an American author and financial journalist. His bestselling books include “The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine”, “Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood.” , “Panic”, “The Real Price of Everything: Rediscovering the Six Classics of Economics”, “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game”, “Liar's Poker” and more.
