Barry has lived his whole life in Bathurst. He is a potter, but his degenerative neurological disorder means he is becoming more and more frustrated and forgetful. His wife Terrie is also frustrated and develops a plan to leave Barry and move out with her lover, Bruno. Barry finds support through his friendship with Tony and Jay, and her daughter, Nettie, and is comforted by loving memories of his first wife, Molly. As he embarks on an emotional odyssey, the potter confronts his loss of memory and his changing world with resilience, love, and friendship to aid him. The narrative at the core of the potter's story invites readers to contemplate the delicate interplay of courage, compassion, and the enduring power of the human spirit as he experiences challenges in the face of betrayal, physical change and memory loss, and the eventual interplay of couple of bumbling bank robbers.

In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.

AMERICA IS AT A CROSSROADS. One path leads to a revival of the Founder's vision for our country, the other path leads to socialism. The first means freedom and prosperity, the other despotism and corruption. The veterans in this book and thousands of others we have talked to over the years make it clear they didn't join the military to fight for socialism. Rather, they fought to protect the principles our Founders had in mind when they risked everything to establish our country.
