When Paul Trible-former U.S. Senator and congressman from Virginia-arrived at Christopher Newport University as its new president in 1996, CNU was a spunky school with heart, but it wasn't in the best of shape financially, academically, or aesthetically. Its future was not bright. Paul dreamed bold dreams. He painted grand word pictures of what CNU would become. Everywhere he went, he held up an audacious vision of Christopher Newport as one of America's premiere public universities, a beautiful campus of national distinction, and a competitive destination of choice for gifted students. Many listeners shrugged. Trible hadn't come from academia; he didn't know what could and couldn't be done at this humble, commuter-based campus. After one particularly soaring speech, a respected faculty curmudgeon summed it up: Trible was "crazy as hell." Fortunately Paul had been called a lot of names during his political career. He had thick skin and confidence in a compelling vision. He grinned, courted the curmudgeon as a friend, and went on to actually accomplish all the bold and unconventional changes of which he dreamed. During Paul's 26 years as president, Christopher Newport was transformed, becoming a unique, respected jewel among America's public universities. This surprising account is not just a tale about Paul Trible, though he's an inspiring guy. It's not just a case study for educators or a book about transformational leadership, though its principles are transferrable truths. It's not an architectural tome about bricks and mortar, though the physical transformation of CNU has been astounding. This is a story about relationships. It's about building a community where people of diverse backgrounds, gifts, and personalities have come together to serve students. It's about fanning not just the flame of intellectual curiosity and academic excellence, but creating an environment of mutual respect and kindness, educating both minds and hearts. It's about the fact that life is not just about personal success and advancement, but serving and helping one's fellow human beings. It's about--as Paul Trible said from the beginning--equipping young people to dream big dreams, and to live a life of significance and real satisfaction. And it's about a community made up of people with humor, grit, innovation, expertise, mutual respect, and love. People who were all just crazy enough to go beyond the norm, and make great things happen.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith--one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it's crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to - believe for the impossible- choose hope over fear- be alert to the voice of God- cope with loss and doubt- develop a deeper level of trust in God- speak faith-filled declarations- inspire crazy faith in others God's not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can't happen. He's looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?
A plucky medium, her fame-chasing ex, and an infuriatingly handsome skeptic reporter make for a complicated love triangle--and that's before the ghosts get involved. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December comes the first novel in a ghost-hunting series full of romance and humor. Ghosts and spirits are business as usual, but love just might be enough to scare Melody Bittersweet. In the leafy, charming town of Chapelwick, the Bittersweet family has been a fixture on High Street for as long as anyone can remember. Their rambling black-and-white building houses all three generations of ghost-sensitive Bittersweet women and their business, Blithe Spirits. On her twenty-seventh birthday, Melody Bittersweet converts the disused back storeroom into her office and opens her own business. Unlike the rest of her family, she's not taking down messages from ghosts--she's taking them out. Right away, the freshly minted Girls' Ghostbusting Agency takes on its first case: a grand old house that won't sell because a trio of incumbent ghost brothers raise merry hell whenever prospective owners arrive to view it. It soon becomes clear that there's a whole heap of unfinished business between the Scarborough brothers--including murder--and Melody isn't the only one trying to unravel the mystery. Leo Dark, her rakish ex and business rival, is also on the case, along with the TV crew that trails him. To make matters worse, the sarcastic and skeptical (and annoyingly good-looking) local reporter Fletcher Gunn has his nose in the story as well. Sniffing out a way to publicly discredit the Bittersweets is his favorite assignment--and has absolutely nothing to do with his inability to resist Melody. With her business on the line, it's up to Melody to work out the brothers' issues, but can she protect her own very susceptible heart from Fletcher's charm? Does she even want to?

Become aware of and change money habitsLearn to stop self-sabotaging money useLearn from examples of people with similar money issues and how they cope and growHow couples deal with money differencesLearn how childhood affects money attitudes and beliefs Funny, humane, and to the point, this will be the most fun you've had while learning why we act as we do. It is a bible for anyone who teaches or counsels people about their money. -Kent Engelke, Managing Partner and Chief Strategist, Capitol Securities Management "Crazy About Money takes a uniquely direct approach to how and why so many of us struggle with money. Dr. Baker draws on her extensive professional experience and her personal journey with her own finances to teach us that a healthy relationship with money is both freeing and attainable... this book a great read for anyone looking to understand his/her own attitudes and spending habits." -Leslie Gordon Mayer, Ph.D. President &CEO, Mayer Leadership Group; Fellow, Wharton School of Business Many of us are crazy about money. We spend too much of it and save too little. We hoard it and we sink into debt over it. We lavish it and are stingy with it. We lie about it and fight over it. We think about it all the time and we avoid thinking about it at all. What makes us act this way? We like to believe that our choices and actions are guided by rationality and common sense. But in fact, reason and common sense often have little to do with our money behavior. Even trained financial professionals can be crazy about money. Rather, our decisions are governed by our emotions and money beliefs. If these emotions and beliefs are balanced and clear, we will act wisely with our money. If they are confused, we will make poor decisions, creating financial havoc and deep unhappiness. Crazy About Money helps you identify the unconscious emotions and beliefs that typically develop in childhood and drive your money decisions as an adult. It also shows you how to change misguided attitudes that lead so many people into money trouble. Crazy About Money uses real and composite cases drawn from author Maggie Baker's 30 years of clinical psychology practice. You'll learn about Mary, who has a basement full of useless Internet purchases she made to get even with her seemingly indifferent husband. And about Harry, an 89-year-old multi-millionaire bachelor who nearly decided to move into a state-assisted living facility for fear he would run out of money. You will also meet others who, perhaps just like you, over-spend, under-save, and make poor investment decisions. In-depth discussions explain how many people, once they understand their motivations, are able to break short-sighted or destructive money attitudes and patterns of behavior. Exercises at the end of each chapter will help you examine your own feelings and actions and point the way toward smarter choices with money, whether in saving, investing, spending, giving, or sharing. In today's economic climate, it's crucial to understand how you make money decisions and how you can improve them.
