Just recently, a chain of unfortunate events has violently shaken the financial world and contributed to exposing our irrational exuberance in Ponzi schemes and our vulnerability as human beings. Sweeping fear and uncertainty have mushroomed overnight into the corporate consciousness, an aura of powerlessness and defeatism that still lingers within the anxieties of Wall Street's daily fluctuations. To make matters worse, nature seems to play its part with subtle spiritual language, through a chain of cataclysmic events predicted and coded in the Book of Revelation. Is it the labor pains for spiritual growth and maturity? Or is it the sign of the end of an age? In What If All Organizations Were Sinless? author Joseph St.Fort offers a roadmap for corporate leadership transformation specifically intended to achieve financial prosperity here on earth, while harvesting righteous values and spiritual maturity as investments for eternal life, thereafter. Although practical and spiritual wisdom are mutually exclusive constructs, he masterfully bridges their disconnect within a patient, methodical, comprehensive process of self-change, leading to stewardship for the sake of our generation and future generations. What If All Organizations were Sinless? offers one last, ultimate lease to all. Beware!

This chrestomathy is a selection of passages from the previously unpublished writings of Northrop Frye, much of it coming from his notebooks and diaries, which are now a part of his Collected Works (1996–2012). The passages, arranged alphabetically, form a discontinuous series of reflections on diverse topics that are worthy of extracting from their original source. The passages gathered here are aphoristic, insightful, clever, startling, amusing, contrarian, curious, powerful, salty, irreverent, unguarded, or otherwise noteworthy in the way they reveal Frye’s fertile mind at work. Frye is Canada’s greatest literary critic, and a good argument can be made that he is the greatest critical presence internationally of the last century. This book showcases the seeds of the ideas he often developed in his books and essays. The passages range widely across Frye’s sixty-year writing career, extending from the early 1930s until just before his death in 1991.
