NEW YORK—May 12, 2019—Morgan James’ new release, Life Stones: The Ammunition Needed to Overcome the Giants in Your Life, by Rick Harris, equips Christian believers to face down the persistent bullies of life’s joy and fulfillment. With forty-two years of pastoral and missionary experiences, Rick Harris shares a message of victory for discouraged believers seeking to overcome insurmountable obstacles.

Life Stones addresses necessary elements of personal and spiritual development that must be addressed if a Christian desires to grow and improve in their relationship with themselves, God, and others. Rick Harris provides practical tools rooted in biblical principles in order to combat an individual’s natural tendency to act in a defensive and self-serving manner. With humor and honesty, Harris illustrates his chapters with personal stories of both victory and defeat from his work in ministry. He shows the contrast between a victorious, Christian experience and a limited, self-absorbed existence.

The goal of Life Stones is to attract both believers and nonbelievers to question the trajectory of their life and the limitations of their own abilities to live morally or ethically. Harris addresses the defeats, frustrations, and fears that are common to all humanity, hoping to provide an alternative path for those who are ready to live differently. His writing appeals to adults as well as teenagers, as it includes biblical lessons with clear scriptural references and practical discussion questions that can be easily implemented in a Bible Study or Sunday School setting.

NEW YORK—May 12, 2019—Morgan James’ new release, Tiny Transit for Cities: Cut Carbon Emissions in Your City Before It’s Too Late, by Susan Engelking, is a guide for Councils of Governments (COGs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) searching for practical ways for their cities to cut carbon emissions. As the founder of a grassroots movement to raise awareness and fight for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) to be protected and included in new urban and suburban planning efforts, Susan Engelking is passionate about enacting positive environmental change to city infrastructure. 

Tiny Transit for Cities explains how Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) are a safe, low cost, and energy-efficient transportation option for climate-conscious mobility throughout a city. Susan Engelking explains that most cities classify NEVs as “Low-Speed Vehicles” that are generally outlawed on major roadways, as they cannot go above 25 miles per hour and do not offer the same protections for drivers as traditional automobiles. Engelking agrees that these vehicles are not safe to drive alongside of faster transportation, however she argues that, with LEAN Networks, they can become a cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient form of urban and suburban transport.

Within Tiny Transit for Cities, Susan Engelking describes an innovative, proven solution to improving air quality in cities: protected pathways for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). She claims that this new transportation alternative can offer economic resilience, reduced carbon emissions, energy independence, and improved safety for city residents. Engelking shows city planners how to incorporate LEAN Networks into existing transportation projects or new developments, such as corporate parks, college campuses, suburban neighborhoods and adjacent shopping centers, and urban downtown revitalization efforts.

NEW YORK—May 5, 2019—Morgan James’ new release, The Dream Thief: A Novel by Gregory Petersen, is a fictional story that explores the intersection of imagination, magic, and mental health in adolescent minds. Gregory Petersen depicts the necessary tension of losing childlike wonder and growing up the surrounding world within the mind of the story’s protagonist, Nadine Brier. 

The Dream Thief follows the coming of age story of Nadine Brier, a young girl journeying from a small Missouri town to New York City. Nadine wrestles with the reality of hearing voices and having magical experiences as a child, both of which still impact her life as she grows into adulthood. Throughout her travels, she works through the events of her past, questioning what was real and what was imagined. Nadine must work through her inner demons if she ever hopes to discover the truth about who she is and what she’s seen. 

In The Dream Thief, Gregory Petersen describes how a whimsical childhood can become a source of uncertainty and cause a young person to question what is real.

NEW YORK—May 5, 2020— Morgan James’ new release, Success Mindsets: Your Keys to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership, by Ryan Gottfredson, will motivate business professionals and natural achievers to reach the heights of success they seek. According to Ryan Gottfredson, the way individuals see, interpret, and process their world directs them to act in a manner they think is best, but their point of view could be limiting their potential. With essential research and years of consulting experience, Gottfredson reveals the power and impact of reframing mindsets in Success Mindsets.

Ryan Gottfredson explains how the term “mindset” is used frequently, but few acknowledge the power of this term. Success Mindsets identifies a healthy mindset as a critical and necessary element to leadership development, organizational agility, performance, and culture. Despite an individual’s best intentions and efforts, their inner compass is often limited in its ability to select the best course of action, leading to less than desirable results. Gottfredson challenges this approach with comprehensive data and statistics, which identify specific mindsets that are necessary for success in relationships, work, and leadership.

In Success Mindsets, Ryan Gottfredson defines what determines certain mindsets and identifies the four specific mindsets that are necessary for success. Gottfredson offers a personal mindset assessment that analyzes which of the four mindsets need to be developed for an individual to succeed. Providing cutting-edge direction for improvement, Success Mindsets teaches leaders, managers, parents, and teachers what it takes to unlock the success they are looking for.
