Firing on All Cylinders tries to leave its readers with a newer, fresher, more profound outlook on life by integrating the timeless teachings of the Bible with relevant, modern, everyday living. This book beckons you on a journey, on a quest to scale the heights of both our human and spiritual potential. Life is not molded by circumstance or providence; fact is, man is the builder, and man is responsible for his own environment, be it good or bad. St. Paul classifies man as having a threefold nature-body, mind, and soul-and the author challenges you here to take a hard look at all three areas simultaneously, in essence treating the whole and not just a part. Firing on All Cylinders is not just the title of this book but a complete way of life.

Firing on All Cylinders is based on the experiences of hundreds of public sector and business organizations improving their service/quality to master a rapidly changing world. This book brings together three organizational performance fields that have, until now, been distinct and separate. These are: 1. Customer Service - developing high perceived value and responsiveness 2. Quality Improvement - reducing defects and mistakes while increasing productivity through improved process and system control 3. Organization Development - building leadership skills and sustaining cultural change
