    The truth is, though, Germans are different from us-in more ways than we may know. Greg Nees, in this new InterAct, Germany: Unraveling an Enigma, does an outstanding job of explaining those cultural differences that we most need to know in order to have effective and fulfilling interactions with the Germans. Nees explores major German cultural themes: the need for order and obedience to rules and regulations, the insistence on clarity of thought, compartmentalization, the penchant for rational thinking and the love of abstract debate, the sharp distinction between insiders and outsiders, a strong sense of duty, and German communication patterns. As a business consultant who has lived and worked many years with Germans, Greg Nees gives special attention to the German social market economy and to cultural differences in the workplace. Perhaps most valuable, in his last chapter he looks to the future as Germany seeks to create a new identity in the twenty-first century, dealing with such issues as multiculturalism, Americanization, changing lifestyles, the European Union, and globalization.

    This Rosary tool has also been consistently in the Amazon top ten best selling books of Prayer since every month since its release; this includes paperback and kindle prayer books. Buy with confidence and may it enhance your opportunity to pray to Our Lady.This is a tool to allow you to use your Kindle to pray the rosary. This version of the rosary is intended to allow for praying the rosary with the turn of each page acting as a rosary bead. It contains all four rosary mysteries Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. The table of contents will allow you to jump to any of the four mysteries. Given that the Kindle, Nook, and other eBook devices allow thousands of books to be carried within them, it makes sense that the most powerful prayer in the world should also be included. Turning one page for each bead of the rosary makes the device feel and respond like a rosary necklace. Praying the rosary is an art which includes a certain rhythm of changing beads and prayers while in contemplation. Other rosary books either teach the prayers or outline the process but don’t account for the rhythm an art of contemplation that the process itself supports. This version allows that process to be integrated into the book itself; no beads required. While I personally love rosary beads, I don’t always have them available. I also like having the precise bible scriptures associated with each Mystery integrated into the process itself; it allows a more detailed focus by reading the actual living word of God without losing rhythm. While I personally know what the mysteries are about and what each decade story is, it adds a bit of opportunity to read in detail the bible passages of each mystery while not breaking stride with the prayer process. And, if there is ever a moment of distraction by events around me, I never lose my exact spot in praying the rosary.I pray that this book enhances opportunity for you to pray the rosary on many occasions when otherwise you may not have, and I hope it enhances your prayers on a regular basis through deeper connection with the scriptures which are the living word of God. The following updates were made based on user recommendations:VERSION UPDATED JULY 22, 2012 - Changed the table of contents to show the correct day for Luminous Mysteries to be prayed 'Thursday', updated the Glory Be prayer to be included after the first 3 Hail Mary's at the opening of each Mystery, Updated the Glory Be to be worded more technically correct.VERSION UPDATED DECEMBER 11, 2011 - Changed language of Apostle's Creed to match Catholic Church New Translation, fixed misspelled word "beech" to read "beseech", fixed missing bible verse for Mysteries "crowning with thorns" and "coronation of mary".

    But what if he’s real? Mendesa is a young girl, with a good head on her shoulders and big dreams. Sometimes they’re too big. As she’s navigating through life, she soon finds out that sometimes our dreams are bigger than us for a reason. Skot is everything your mama warned you about, wrapped in an Armani suit. He’s heartless, and will stop at nothing to secure the bag. Even if means destroying the life of the person who saved his. His treacherous ways don’t necessarily make him a bad guy, more so just misunderstood. With more secrets than a closed FBI file, Skot might learn too late that money isn’t everything. There’s more than meets the eye to these two. Inexplicable dreams, chance encounters, and dark souls are working over time. But what does it mean? Will Mendesa’s naivety cloud her vision, or will she learn that some dreams are not meant to be reality? Can Skot spot the snakes in his midst, or will his greed cause him to pay the ultimate price? Emmanuel aka “Mann” is Mendesa’s twin brother and they share a bond, like most twins do. However, that may not always be a good thing. Drugs and alcohol don’t do anything but make the darkness in his heart darker. Manipulating the people around him and striking fear in their hearts is what he does best. Will his destructive nature swallow his loved ones whole, or can they avoid being dragged to hell with him? It’s not every day you read about some paranormal shit in the hood, but this polished, professional thug is no ordinary street nigga. Come along on this tale of love, sex, and sorcery. It’s as juicy as it is spell-binding!
