How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone ...
By: Michael Gates Gill
List Price: $13.00
Amazon Price: $4.63

Product Description
Now in paperback, the national bestselling riches-to-rags true story of an advertising executive who had it all, then lost it all?and was finally redeemed by his new job, and his twenty-eight-year-old boss, at Starbucks.

In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill had it all: a mansion in the suburbs, a wife and loving children, a six-figure salary, and an Ivy League education. But in a few short years, he lost his job, got divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. With no money or health insurance, he was forced to get a job at Starbucks. Having gone from power lunches to scrubbing toilets, from being served to serving, Michael was a true fish out of water.

But fate brings an unexpected teacher into his life who opens his eyes to what living well really looks like. The two seem to have nothing in common: She is a young African American, the daughter of a drug addict; he is used to being the boss but reports to her now. For the first time in his life he experiences being a member of a minority trying hard to survive in a challenging new job. He learns the value of hard work and humility, as well as what it truly means to respect another person.

Behind the scenes at one of America?s most intriguing businesses, an inspiring friendship is born, a family begins to heal, and, thanks to his unlikely mentor, Michael Gill at last experiences a sense of self-worth and happiness he has never known before.

When God Goes to Starbucks: A Guide to Everyday Apologetics
By: Paul Copan
List Price: $14.99
Amazon Price: $7.95

Product Description
More than ever, Christians are bombarded with tough faith questions from their pluralistic friends and neighbors. Many of these emerge as "anti-truth claims" and slogans we are all familiar with: ? Why not just look out for yourself? ? Do what you want--just as long as you don't hurt anyone ? Miracles violate the laws of nature ? Aren't people born gay? Paul Copan has been answering questions like these for many years. In When God Goes to Starbucks, he offers readers solid and caring Christian responses to these and many other concerns that are being discussed in Starbucks, shopping malls, youth groups, and schools. Each chapter provides succinct answers and points for countering the cultural questions believers are faced with today.

The Gospel According to Starbucks: Living with a Grande Passion
By: Leonard Sweet
List Price: $13.99
Amazon Price: $2.41

Product Description
Introducing the life you?d gladly stand in line for

You don?t stand in line at Starbucks® just to buy a cup of coffee. You stop for the experience surrounding the cup of coffee.
Too many of us line up for God out of duty or guilt. We completely miss the warmth and richness of the experience of living with God. If we?d learn to see what God is doing on earth, we could participate fully in the irresistible life that he offers.
You can learn to pay attention like never before, to identify where God is already in business right in your neighborhood. The doors are open and the coffee is brewing. God is serving the refreshing antidote to the unsatisfying, arms-length spiritual life?and he won?t even make you stand in line.
Let Leonard Sweet show you how the passion that Starbucks® has for creating an irresistible experience can connect you with God?s stirring introduction to the experience of faith.

While attending my cooking class at City Square, I was feeling a bit nostalgic, on any given day throughout the entire time I went to school, possibly the best thing that might happen to me in the course of a day might be taking a bathroom break. So about a quarter way through the class I quietly left the room and walked through the food court and into the washroom. Now I spend a fair amount of time on the road in my day job, and due to this I?ve got a mental rolodex of places to relieve myse • Guest Editorial: I Hate Business Travel

Why do I suddently want a Big Mac? (courtesy of www.highlands-ortho.com) Looking for a job is sort of an all-or-nothing deal. Either you find one, or you don?t. I haven?t, for seven months. There?s some comfort to be had in knowing that the job market stinks. Companies continue to layoff employees, and those hiring receive millions of resumes, even for that freelance position scraping burnt gunk off of boiler room walls with a screwdriver. Knowing may be half the battle, but it doesn?t pay th
