Just the honest confessions of a person struggling through questions and doubts that we all face, and trying to figure out what God has to do with it. Dark secrets, painful memories, and the mess of everyday collide with truth, honesty, and freedom; regrets, fears, and faith all mix together somehow.
Dare to look into the shadows that linger in the corners of regret. Take a deep breath and step forward along the path of questions that so many others have walked before. Then try to hear the hope and promise that other people have heard and followed. Connell, Ph. Flying without a Helicopter Author : Joanie B. This book was written for you-whether you are a manager, a young adult new to the business world, or a parent of that young adult. Thanks, Joanie, for zooming in on this timely topic!

To understand these differences and leverage the creativity within, you could do no better than to read Connell's Flying without a Helicopter!

In addition to the key principles and methods of applied semiotics, it introduces the basics of branding, strategic decision-making, and cross-cultural marketing management.
