Book Description
Long before he was considered a top prospective presidential candidate for 2012—even before he landed on John McCain’s short list of potential running mates in 2008—Governor Tim Pawlenty had already earned legendary status in conservative circles. In his hard-left-leaning home state of Minnesota, the man known as “T-Paw” somehow erased a $4.8-billion budget deficit while simultaneously reforming health care, creating jobs, improving education, and supporting renewable energy reform—all without raising taxes. In Courage to Stand, Pawlenty reveals, for the first time, how he found the resolve to get the job done, taking readers all the way back to the lessons he learned as a boy in the gritty meatpacking town of South St. Paul. From the devastating early death of his mother to the struggle to work his way through college and law school and his epic political battles as governor, Pawlenty opens up about his deepest beliefs and shares his vision for a better America.

Book Description
Integrity: We love the concept, but when push comes to shove we would rather be on the winning team. Has political correctness made cowards out of people who have real moral character? Will the tidal wave of negative values, continue to destroy the moral fiber of America? Are we destined to be a nation of abused children, broken homes, abortions, and homosexuality? No! That is not America! We are a people of great moral fiber who have been pushed aside by the disruptive voices of a minority made up of radical immoral people. This book, Igniting the Moral Courage of America: Six Ways You Can Inspire People To live With Integrity, provides examples of how ordinary people just like you and me can have a powerful impact on the morality of future generations. While most Christians wonder what they can do about the negative trends in our country, this book reminds us that God does not call the qualified; He qualifies the called. From the 92 year old widow with cancer whose story has inspired the lives of thousands, to the average football coach who changed the lives of hundreds of his players, to the reformed alcoholic who converted the meanest man in town, God is working! This book documents the moral problems facing our country as it presents the long-term solutions for these destructive behaviors. Although our challenges appear complex, we are reminded while life s problems are extremely complex the solutions are simple. The solutions are found when one person allows the power of God to work in his or her life! Igniting the Moral Courage Of America starts in reverse. While most books begin with the foundation, we begin with the challenge and build though the solutions toward the powerful conclusion. The real foundation for life and morality is our God as He is revealed in the Bible. God s absolute truth coupled with His amazing grace is the solid foundation that energizes good people. The real power is God working in you! You will be empowered by God to change your surroundings. While people who lack faith live under the circumstances of life, people of faith change the circumstances by God s power. This book is an exciting, 50,000-word ride into purposeful living. You will discover your own personal mission in life as you learn exactly how you can accomplish that mission. When your mission and God s power come together, you will have a dynamic impact on people in our nation!"

Book Description
As a follow up to his phenomenal New York Times bestselling memoir, Highest Duty, Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger explores exactly what it takes to lead and inspire. In Making a Difference, one of the most captivating American heroes of this century—the courageous pilot who brought the crippled US Airways Flight 1549 safely down in New York’s Hudson River—engages some of the most accomplished men and women in the fields of technology, medicine, education, sports, philanthropy, finance, law, and the military in inspiring conversations on true leadership. With powerful thoughts and invaluable guidance from such notables as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, legendary baseball manager Tony LaRussa, NASA Flight Director Eugene Kranz, and Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Making a Difference is a potential life-changer that stands with Katie Couric’s The Best Advice I Ever Got, Lee Iaococca’s Where Have All the Leaders Gone, Michael J. Fox’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future, and other classic volumes that celebrate human achievement and triumph over adversity.
