A being that is just starting out on the road to know what it "itself" is. A being that has just started to evolve. In The Origin Speaks the reader is taken beyond the Beyond the Source books to a direct dialogue with the ultimate creator, the "all there is", the "absolute", The "Origin".

Daisy Goes to the Races is the first book in my series of author-illustrated, Daisy Starshine middle grade/chapter books. Daisy, a young, orphaned, and disabled donkey, often dreams of becoming a unicorn as her way of coping with her self-perceived inadequacies. She loves that her eight-year-old best friend, Clarissa, has created a glittery silver horn for her to wear. But when Daisy starts working at a local race track, she is crushed that the other animals and grounds workers tease her for it. She’s even more hurt when the race horses she admires reject her because of her small stature and the leg brace she wears. When an angry employee sets fire to the stables that house her and the other animals, Daisy discovers a strength she didn’t know she had, saves the day, and finally discovers the happiness that comes from accepting herself as she is.As a father, grandparent, and clinical psychologist, Mark Stevens has helped numerous children overcome the issues Daisy struggles with. Drawing from this experience, he writes about human (or animal) nature and transformation that occurs in the midst of life’s difficulties in a way that is accessible to kids. His hope is that these these stories will encourage children as they face their own struggles, discover their own unique gifts and strengths, and come to fully accept themselves for the shining stars they are.

There is no other collegiate football program in the world like the one found at Brigham Young University. None. Certainly that has much to do with the fact that the school is the largest religious university in the United States, owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But perhaps there is an even more unique differentiator - a head football coach who is unwavering in his unorthodox style of mentoring, strengthening, teaching, and even recuiting his players. Bronco Mendenhall's coaching style is considered jaw-dropping by many and ludicrous to some. However, no one can overlook the success the Cougars have had. How does his team consistently win ten or more games year after year? What philosophy and practices did Bronco implement to create this sustained success? One thing we know is that Bronco's system goes against the grain. He believes that running into the wind is an opportunity and is key to ultimately creating a sustained competitive advantage. The first section, On the Field, discusses the challenges Bronco has faced as the head coach, the principles and practices he learned to face those challenges, and the on-field applications and results. The second section, In the Football Offices, looks deeper into Broncos system and the business principles and tools of the five smooth stones that Bronco was taught by Paul Gustavson. Whether you are a coach or a leader, the organization strategies and models that Paul taught Bronco can be applied to any business or team. Simple, this section is where the coach of the coach will coach you, too.
