Let's talk about the Big Dogs! When hearing the expression, Big Dogs, these are the major players (or people, such as managers, bosses, leaders, etc.) and institutions – the movers and shakers – and not much happens unless the Big Dogs bark and make things happen. That's why I've written a book called “Barking With The Big Dogs”. In order to Bark With The Big Dogs, we must play the game by their rules. Unfortunately, the rules aren't always in black and white. In reality though, the games are very simple and I'll point this out repeatedly in my book. For now though, let's understand the game that everyone plays. One of the biggest games in life that everyone must participate in is the game of money. However, do we really consider our finances as a game? Probably we should. Money comes in and money goes out. Common expressions are “making money” and “losing money”. Therefore, somebody wins and somebody loses from time to time.That's why “Barking With The Big Dogs” shows the financial strategies the Big Dogs use everyday in any market. Now, you can see and use those same strategies too. As a result of years of experience, research and education, I've come up with a comprehensive book designed to teach people how to play and potentially win big against the mega-machines in the financial world - in particular - the mortgage and real estate business.Targeting the topics of personal finance and a home are simple; everyone needs a place to live and a house is most often the largest financial expenditure many people will make."Barking With The Big Dogs" is not typical.As inspiration from what we are commonly taught and told, I set out to delve deeper into the working of the banking institutions; after all, money is something touches our every day lives - no way around it.What I've come up with is behind the scenes, inner workings of financial institutions, and have put it into one easy to follow, comprehensive book that definitely levels the playing field against the mega-machines. However, I'm not here to suggest that everyone should borrow money, but most people cannot afford to buy a home without going to the bank.But what about those who do not want to go to the bank or borrow money?Yes, something very important exists for the debt-free homeowners as well.Topics exist that affect the financial side for everyone regardless of ever stepping into a bank other than to make a deposit.Now you too can turn the tides, so as to empower yourself to become a successful financial machine when others are simply following the crowd.(By the way, you can use these very same concepts in areas other than just a home. Property can be residential or commericial as we know, but the ideas relate not only to personal finance, but business well. As a matter of fact, once you have the basics down, you can apply them to many topics. That's the beauty of Barking With The Big Dogs.)

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Small Is the New Big In this humorous, insistent book, Pastor Ed Gungor demonstrates that the world is changed most by ordinary people—the "small dogs" of the human race. Small dogs may not run the world, but neither can the world tune them out. If it weren’t for small dogs, the world might be a quieter place, but it would certainly be a needier one. With chapters like "Dare to Be Small," "Fight the Big-Dog Lie," and "The Bark of Faith," Gungor challenges the notion that earthly prominence, status, and power are essential to significance. Reminding us that small is the new big, he inspires us to fall in love with life—the everyday, normal kind—and shows us how to make an eternal difference. Living a Life That’s Hard to Ignore The thing about small, barking dogs is that they can’t be ignored. They may not be show-dog material or win outstanding awards, but through their persistence and insistence they make themselves known. Only a handful of people ever achieve notoriety and "greatness," but the energizing truth of One Small Barking Dog is that every single one of us can change the world. New York Times bestselling author Ed Gungor debunks the big-dog lie and clearly teaches "ordinary" people how to live out their faith in a way that not only changes the world we live in now but that affects lives for eternity. By the time you finish this book, you won’t be worried about being small. You’ll be ready to take on the world. You’ll know how to live a life that can’t be ignored. Whether you’ve just graduated from school or you’ve been at this life for many years, Ed Gungor’s concrete principles and simple life wisdom will show you new ways to make a big impact on your world.

Some attribute it to Aristotle, but whether the great Greek philosopher said it or not doesn’t affect its timeless truth. “If you want to avoid criticism, all you have to do is say nothing, do nothing and be nothing.” If on the other hand, you decide your life is purposed for something worthy and being on the playing field is preferred to sitting in the stands, there is something you are sure to encounter; what Jeff Piersall and Eric Wright call “barking dogs.” Dogs Don’t Bark at Parked Cars illustrates this encounter as the voices that find fault, who don’t think it’s possible, who are unable to see a future alive with opportunities waiting to be seized. They are the ones governed by fear instead of faith. Unfortunately, many times the loudest of these barking dogs are kenneled right in most people’s own heads. For Jeff and Eric, that priceless quality is wisdom. It goes beyond knowledge or aptitude and transcends this era of cultural and technological hyper-change, with principles that are timeless.

"Pepe is a delight!" --RT Book Reviews (4 stars) "In matters of courage, there is no bigger dog than me!" P.I. Geri Sullivan and her talking Chihuahua, Pepe, are always hungry to sink their teeth into a new case. So if helping a hapless husband win back his wayward wife means sneaking into a cult of dog-worshippers, porque no? Inside the believers' rural retreat, Pepe perks up his ears when the charismatic leader pegs him as the next incarnation of the spirit Dogawanda. But the discovery of a body, murdered between mantras, suggests there's more chicanery than channeling going on in this suspicious sect. While wild wolves howl, a killer is on the prowl--and it's up to Geri and her canine compadre to dig up the dirt.
