The Touch of the Master's Hand
by Bob Kelly
ISBN 978-1-60810-068-2
(Published - April 2010)
 

$15.95 (+$2.95 S&H)

The Touch of the Master's Hand reinforces Myra Brooks Welch’s powerful and inspiring poem that helps us better understand and realize that God places far more value on restoring our soul and renewing our faith than putting a price on the external value of a person's life. This book also reveals an inspiring message that reminds us of our uniqueness and significance with God, reinforcing the importance of the story and poem and just how applicable it is to our lives today.

The Touch of the Master's Hand is an incredible and compelling book. It's sure to penetrate your very heart and soul while lifting your spirit in the process. I can't think of a better and more beautiful gift to encourage and inspire, both young and old, as they face the ongoing challenges of life.

The Best of Success
by Mac Anderson & Bob Kelly
ISBN 978-1-60810-063-7
(Published - December 2009)
 

$15.00 (+$2.95 S&H)

The late Og Mandino, the nation’s most published motivational author, once described success as “a magical word [which] conjures up different but always enticing visions in the minds of all of us.” The Best of Success, beautifully illustrated and in full-color, explores many of the qualities which contribute to a life of success.

Each of the book’s 25 chapters focuses on one of these qualities, and begins with a unique story of an individual who displayed that quality. The stories are of the famous and the obscure, of men and women of various ethnic backgrounds and nationalities, each of whom traveled a different path on the journey to success. Each chapter ends with 20 to 25 quotations about that particular quality.

In a world where inspirational books are a dime-a-dozen, there is one book that captures the heart and mind in a manner that has rarely–if ever–been done before. Inside this beautifully bound book are the perfect balance of stories, wonderful photographs, and inspirational quotes appropriately themed to address life’s many twists and turns. Calling The Best of Success a ‘book’ is actually a misnomer; it would more accurately be called a work of art!
