Charisma is that mysterious "it" factor that makes the world's best salespeople more believable, compelling and magnetic. When they speak they hold their audience in the palm of their hand. But most sales superstars are unaware that it is their charisma that makes them so much better than their competitors.How can that be?Nonverbal behavior, that most powerful form of communication, is the engine generating charisma, and it is a subconscious expression. You don't have to consciously think about looking happy when you are happy, or sad when you are sad. Your nonverbal behavior automatically expresses this. The subconscious nature of a sales superstar's nonverbal behavior-their charisma-is why their secret weapon is a secret even to them. Sales superstars have developed their charisma over the course of their entire life, but here is the good news for those who want to become charismatic: You can be completely lacking in charisma and become charismatic in one week. This book will show you how.

When Christians come to a saving faith in Jesus their work has just begun. They are now disciples (students) of a Teacher--Jesus--who has a graduation goal in mind: Christlikeness. We were created in the image of God, and since Christ is the image of God, we were originally created to be Christlike. The Path aims to restore this image that was marred by the Fall. It does so by taking us through various steps and stages that are outlined by the seven feasts of Moses. These feasts delineate times of suffering in the wilderness and times of anointing to serve God in power. Thankfully, this road map was given to us, because the Path can be quite perplexing. Elijah and Jonah prayed for their death, and Jeremiah and Job cursed the day of their birth. They and many other saints have felt lost while making their greatest spiritual progress on the Path. Perhaps, during this pandemic, you have shared their feelings of confusion and even despair.>If you seek to strengthen your faith during this time of turbulence, then understanding God's ways, which are unlike ours, will help you achieve this important end.
