This book examines the scriptural concepts that apply to leading and managing people. It begins with a chapter that contrasts leaders, managers, and administrators and the roles they each play. The book then presents the seven virtues from the Beatitudes and how these virtues result in leaders and managers' behaviors. The book then reviews the 15 characteristics of what love is and what love is not from the 1 Corinthians 12 passage. The book presents the four modalities of leaders as conveyed in the Ezekiel 1 and 10 chapters, as well as Revelations 4 where Ezekiel and John describe the four faces of the winged beings. The modalities are described in terms of contemporary leaders interacting with employees in the workplace. A chapter follows, based on the Parable of the Vineyard and how leaders should provide a minimum living wage. The book then compares the wife in Proverbs 31 to a good leader/manager in today's contemporary organization. The book ends with an admonition from Ecclesiastes 3:1 about the need for leaders/managers to step away and not meddle when the leader/manager's role is finished. Throughout the book, composite case examples provide practical application of the concepts to contemporary organizations.

In February 2006, four faces appear to Victor Hannah carved out of the storm clouds above his home in the tiny historic town of Annapolis, Maryland. The experience entangles him in a murder mystery involving the occult of the modern Western world and the traditional witch doctors of Africa. The murders involve several Western billionaires who all inexplicably die after returning home from overseas business trips. Victor's curiosity leads him to seek advice from a renowned psychic in Washington DC, who in turn introduces him to Jana Gordon, the beautiful daughter of one of the deceased men. Jana is determined to bring those responsible for the murders of her father and the other financiers to justice. The search for the cause of the mysterious deaths takes Victor, Jana, and her two undercover private detectives to the African country of Zimbabwe. There they are confronted with the dangers of the powerful magic of African witchcraft and a strange, evil creature that has been conjured to oppose them. Victor and Jana find evidence that links the murders to the legend of Chief Lobengula's hidden treasure of diamonds. But will they be able to capture those responsible and put an end to the evil scheme?
