Whatever color they received, they had to go to the government-run club for the night. Of those who received the white token, they would be going home the following day. For those who received the red tokens? They would be leaving in a body bag.

Here is an eyewitness account of the true nature and existence of Hell. Uebert Angel was afforded visitations to Hell by God, and was commanded to let the world know the reality of Hell and to remind the world to choose life and prepare for eternity. As the Lord Jesus appeared to Uebert Angel, he took him on tours of Hell and showed him the suffering there. He saw some of the horrors of Hell and saw many souls in torment. Jesus showed him what happens to souls when they die as unbelievers. He was also shown the horrors purported Christians face in Hell when they reject His grace.

In Encrypted, the author explores how God communicates to individuals in ways that only the individual desired for the message gets. He looks at how the individual can also communicate to God in a manner that only God understands, no matter who else hears what is being said. In exploring this philosophy, the writer brings out numerous interesting arguments and discusses several Christian principles.

I figured this book would depict a guy in a fedora with a cigar in his hand who fast talks like a stereotypical 1920s gangster. Alas, I was mistaken. It is a simple acronym. MOXIE is an acronym that stands for (spoiler alert!) Mindfulness, Opportunity, X-factor, Innovation, Engagement. This is a good book. I like it. If you can master these five traits, you are a bold and gutsy leader.

This book gives all the reasons why employee engagement should be the most important part of your business. It should be a higher priority than the bottom line and profits, if your bottom line is profitable. I think that is obvious. You need to be at least profitable enough to afford a quality two-ply toilet paper. Is that too much to ask for? We aren't monsters. In fact, rule number one of employee engagement should be "Ditch the 80-grit single-ply macho wipe and get the good stuff." Those are the little things that keep employees engaged.

The basis of this book is to treat your employees like family. Maybe he means treat your employees how you wish your family treated each other. Don't only see them on holidays, drink too much pinot grigio, and explode over almonds being added to the green beans even though they knew Abbey has a nut allergy—but deep down, you know, really, they liked Alex better. Then, in a combination of drunken grigio rage and the embarrassing realization you, too, liked Alex better, you grab the kids in a huff and leave early. Leaders should serve their employees and invest time and energy in them.

Despite being the most decorated men's basketball coach of all time, this book translates nicely to the business world. There are plenty of basketball stories, but this is by no means exclusively for sports fans. The message is that anyone can learn to be a leader by following the principles of his Pyramid of Success. If you give everything you have to be the best you can be, that is success. Unless you fail, but that means you didn't listen to it correctly, or are just part of the five percent of Americans (or 26 percent of Canadians) who are incapable of leadership.
