The Compass Within: A Little Story About the Values That Guide Us
"Discover your core values and find your place in life, love, and work. We all want to be our most authentic selves in every space that we are in―in our relationships, our work, and our communities. But often we feel a disconnect, a tension between who we are and what the people around us expect from us. How do we find authenticity and fulfillment in every area of our lives? This is the question at the heart of The Compass Within. In this enlightening workplace parable, Jamie Hynes is a high achieving, early-career manager trying to reconcile his career ambitions with the ethically murky situations his new boss keeps putting him in. Jamie and his new fiancée are also busy making plans for their wedding, facing new decisions everyday about where they'll live and how they'll make a life together in a community where Jamie feels increasingly out of place. When a member of Jamie's Emerging Sales & Marketing Leaders forum shares how her life was transformed when she got clear on her values, Jamie takes notice―and soon finds himself meeting with Jack Reardon, the forward-thinking CEO of Compass Media. Jack mentors Jamie in a holistic process to discover his 'core values' and align his life to them, prompting him to start making changes and ultimately find the job, partner, and community that will allow him to be his truest, most authentic self. The process that Jamie learns is a model for all of us to be more deeply connected to the values and principles we care about, gently guiding us in making the tough calls that are sometimes necessary in order to find happiness in every area of our lives. If you've been feeling stuck, The Compass Within is the comprehensive roadmap you need to greater clarity and courage in life, love, and work."

"The electrifying, 'cutting-edge' (USA Today) debut work of fiction from Ron Currie, author of the forethcoming novel The One-Eyed Man (March 2017) Ron Currie's gutsy, funny book is instantly gripping: If God takes human form and dies, what would become of life as we know it? Effortlessly combining outlandish humor with big questions about mortality, ethics, and human weakness, Ron Currie, Jr., holds a funhouse mirror to our present-day world. God has inhabited the mortal body of a young Dinka woman in the Sudan. When she is killed in the Darfur desert, he dies along with her, and word of his death soon begins to spread. Faced with the hard proof that there is no supreme being in charge, the world is irrevocably transformed, yet remains oddly recognizable."

"An NPR 'Book of the Day' In this one-of-a-kind mystery with heart and humor, a hilariously grumpy pony must save the only human he's ever loved after discovering she stands accused of a murder he knows she didn't commit. Pony has been passed from owner to owner for longer than he can remember. Fed up, he busts out and goes on a cross-country mission to reunite with Penny, the little girl whom he was separated from and hasn't seen in years. Penny, now an adult, is living an ordinary life when she gets a knock on her door and finds herself in handcuffs, accused of murder and whisked back to the place she grew up. Her only comfort when the past comes back to haunt her is the memory of her precious, rebellious pony. Hearing of Penny's fate, Pony knows that Penny is no murderer. So, as smart and devious as he is cute, the pony must use his hard-won knowledge of human weakness and cruelty to try to clear Penny's name and find the real killer. This acutely observant, feel-good mystery reveals the humanity of animals and beastliness of humans in a rollicking escapade of epic proportions."
