As Ron’s son grew into his teen years, Ron felt compelled to share all the wisdom he had gained in life — practical wisdom that ranged from creating lifelong relationships to becoming of a man of purpose and character. Through the humorous stories of his youth, Ron captures the spirit of what a young man standing at the threshold of adulthood needs to know. Echoes of Wisdom is written for young men. It was designed to be read in short bursts — while standing at the microwave waiting for popcorn to pop — or for hours while traveling on a bus trip. It ties important lessons to examples from sports and movies in a way that will engage teens.

Allow God to Do Immeasurably More in Your Life Effective prayer is more about becoming useful tools in God's hands than imposing our plans and desires on Him. In Rise to Seek Him, we learn that we accomplish much more when God uses us through prayer than when we try to use God to accomplish our objectives. This is not just another book on prayer. Ron Meyers invites you to experiment for yourself how God can accomplish "immeasurably more" than you could ever ask or imagine. This book reveals fresh insights about the meaning of prayer - insights that were in the Bible all the time. Rise to Seek Him offers practical solutions to the questions we all ask: • How do we discipline ourselves to pray? • How can we know what to pray for? • Why is it difficult to pray? • What is the focus of prayer? • Does prayer really "work?" This book testifies to the expansion in influence, effectiveness, and success possible with increased personal prayer. As in Habits of Highly Effective Christians, Meyers again describes self-discipline as a fruit of the Spirit to increase personal spiritual growth and improvement in public ministry. God-fearing Christians of any vocation who are serious about serving God at maximum levels of effectiveness will benefit from this book.

In his debut collection of thought-provoking poetry, essays, and short stories, James “Sharpie” Sharpensteen gives the reader a glimpse into his soul. His unique perspective of life flows from the pages in simple words lyrically joined to captivate, move, and entertain the reader. We are allowed to peer into his world as he explores day-to-day life experiences and current events with wit, wisdom, and humor; sometimes through metaphor, sometimes spiritually, and sometimes through mythical references.  Poems like “Superman Can Fly Again” remind us of heroes in our lives and “Workin’ on the 4th of July” speaks of the sacrifices military people make every day. Hurricane Katrina prompted the writing of “Broken Levy, Broken Hearts,” and while recovering after a head-on collision, he was inspired to write “Eternity” and “Singed Wings.”  The short story, “Blue,” transports us to a simpler time and brings smiles and chuckles as we are drawn into the life of the towheaded kid. In essay/journal form, James shares a day-in-the-life view of working at a factory in “Wheels” with more of his trademark humor. Always revealing and personal, these works inspire the reader to listen and feel what’s going on around them as they never have before.

But for the Grace of God is not just the autobiography of astronaut and aviator, William R. "Bill" Pogue. "Competently and directly, he guides the reader through a half-century of technological advance." says Mike Collins, Command Module Pilot, Apollo11. The book has already received rave reviews from experts and enthusiasts. Ed Gibson, fellow Skylab 4 crewmember and science pilot says it best: "In his humble yet factual way, Bill Pogue describes the crucible in which he was raised, lived, and worked -- the crucible that made him an exceptional man and one of our nation's finest aviators and astronauts. The honesty and work ethic of country life, love of flying, stresses of being a fighter pilot in the Korean War, demands on a Thunderbird pilot, and challenges of a test pilot all prepared him for his lead role on Skylab, America's first space station. Alan Bean, Apollo 12 Astronaut and Fourth Man to Set Foot on the Moon, called Bill one of the astronauts he admired most during his eighteen-year career at NASA. He says, "But for the Grace of God will serve as a life-changing inspiration for many. It is a must read for anyone interested in space exploration." "But for the Grace of God is one of the two best memoirs ever written by an astronaut and should be required reading for every pilot or astronaut aspirant. In his book, Pogue packages his adventure-filled life into easy-to-read, inspiring tales that move swiftly from page to page. They are filled with his reverence for his family, God, nature, and mankind. Whether engaging the enemy in combat, flying metal-bending aerobatics with the Thunderbirds, or setting all records for distance and endurance in the wonderful Skylab (a true space station of its time), Pogue speaks clearly with compelling authority but a modest tone. This is a keeper -- a book all parents should provide their children as a guide to how good life can be when it is lived to its fullest," says Walter J. Boyne Author/Historian; Former Director, National Air & Space Museum; and Enshrinee, National Aviation Hall of Fame. Ed Buckbee, NASA Public Affairs for Wernher von Braun and Founder, U. S. Space Camp calls Bill Pogue, "... a country boy from the heartland of America who surpassed his wildest dreams as an aviator, combat fighter pilot, elite Thunderbird pilot, and a member of the brotherhood of astronauts who maintained an even strain and went higher, faster, and farther -- eighty-four days on orbit aboard Skylab. It makes me proud to know this country can produce such patriots, aviators, and space explorers. We only made a few. Bill Pogue was one." Finally, Skylab 4 Commander Jerry Carr adds, "Reading Bill Pogue's autobiography has been a real adventure for me. We have known each other for 45 years (since we were selected as astronauts by NASA), and we have been close the whole time. His upbringing parallels mine to some degree and brought back a flood of old memories. He is a superb writer who has lived a very special life. Now, he is sharing that life with all of us, and I, for one, am grateful. He is a great pilot, an excellent astronaut, and outstanding representative of our nation. I am proud to be his friend and colleague."
