Based upon his weekly Harvard Business Review columns (which is one of the most popular columns on HBR.com, receiving hundreds of thousands of unique page views a month), 18 Minutes clearly shows how busy people can cut through all the daily clutter and distractions and find a way to focus on those key items which are truly the top priorities in our lives. Bregman works from the premise that the best way to combat constant and distracting interruptions is to create productive distractions of one's own. Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us --pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.

On October 16, 2000 at 7:33 P.M., a Cessna 335 airplane carrying Missouri governor Mel Carnahan, his son Roger, and senior aide Chris Sifford went down in the Missouri countryside near the town of Goldman, killing all aboard. Three of Missouri's finest were lost that day, and the memory of one still inspires many in the town of Puxico, Missouri. 18 Minutes and a Lifetime... is a celebration of the life of Christopher Dale Sifford, from his childhood in Puxico, through his school years, working as a journalist in both the radio and print industry, and finally on to his job working for the people of Missouri on the staff of Governor Mel Carnahan. Well researched and beautifully illustrated, this amazing, neverbeforetold story gives insight into Chris' wit, humor and affable personality, and a look in the close bonds of kinship he enjoyed within the Sifford household as well as the many friends he made through the years. A loving son, brother and public servant, Chris Sifford will be remembered forever.

Did you know you can read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount in about 18 minutes? Yet packed into this short talk are more life-changing and startlingly original teachings than anywhere else in Scripture. In it, Jesus dives past the surface into the heart of what we need and desire--from God, ourselves, and one another. It's the spiritual straight talk we need about the things that matter most in life. Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Robert Jeffress breaks down Jesus's most well-known (yet least-followed) teachings about happiness, faith, relationships, sex, reconciliation, prayer, money, and more. He shows how we often misunderstand and misapply these verses and unpacks exactly what Jesus was teaching us about our own hearts and minds. If you long to take your Christian walk to the next level, it's time to grasp these biblical truths that have the power to change your life.
