In The Detour CEO: 9 Unexpected Turns on the Road to Leadership Success, former CEO Paul Perreault delivers a funny, engaging, and insightful guide to leading with purpose and resilience. Drawing from decades of experience in the specialized global biopharma industry, Paul provides actionable strategies to: Identify and prioritize your top performers Navigate organizational challenges with confidence Balance strategic decisions with personal values Cultivate a leadership style that fosters growth and loyalty Through relatable stories and practical advice, Paul dives deep into the nuances of leadership―how to build trust, develop a pipeline of future leaders, and maintain focus in a world of constant distractions. He also challenges traditional notions of success, encouraging leaders to rethink their approach to prioritize people and values over short-term gains. Packed with thoughtful reflections and actionable takeaways, The Detour CEO is a must-read for leaders at every level who want to make a lasting impact―on their teams, their organizations, and their own lives. This is more than a leadership guide; it's a roadmap for navigating the complexities of modern leadership while staying true to your authentic self.About the author Paul’s new book, The Detour CEO: 9 Unexpected Turns on the Road to Leadership Success, tells the story of that unlikely journey—and the values that guided him every step of the way. Raised as the second of eight children and married for over 44 years, Paul built his life on faith, grit, and a strong sense of purpose. Early on, his wife taught school while they worked together to create a future defined not by status, but by service. As Paul puts it: “Being a CEO is a job. It’s not who I am. And it can all go away in a heartbeat.” That belief still grounds him today: whether leading teams, mentoring rising executives, or spending time with his grandkids, Paul’s focus remains on people, not positions. Throughout his career, Paul has been known for his collaborative leadership style, steady temperament, and values-driven approach. He champions a leadership philosophy rooted in service, integrity, collaboration, humility, and innovation—believing these core principles are what truly drive lasting success. Of course, not every value is boardroom-worthy: one of his more personal (and longstanding) convictions is to politely avoid his mom’s meatloaf whenever possible. Now in what he calls his “grandkid era,” Paul starts each morning with two cappuccinos (non-negotiable), a workout, and prayer. A good day includes some cardio, maybe a little golf, and the kind of red wine that makes dinner feel like a celebration. Paul believes great leadership is about helping people thrive—identifying where they can add value at any level, in any role. Today, Paul is available to speak and advise—not just for healthcare organizations, but for a variety of businesses across industries and continents. His insights span leadership, innovation, legacy-building, and the psychology behind values and influences. Paul isn’t here to sell success. He’s here to talk about what matters once you’ve reached it. Whether he’s on stage, in a boardroom, or mentoring one-on-one, Paul brings a blend of real-world experience, strategic insight, and authenticity that resonates with leaders navigating today’s fast-paced world.

Mary: Intimate Witness to God's Love Incarnate by Louis McCall Louismccallinternational.com https://www.amazon.com/Mary-Intimate-Witness-Gods-Incarnate/dp/B0DVJ5SZ86 Mary is about the mother of Jesus and the arc of her development from a peasant teenager to an icon in the church, to a bold witness of the Gospel who journeys from Jerusalem to Samaria, to the mostly Gentile church in Antioch of Syria, and finally to Ephesus, a major metropolitan city of Asia Minor. This book tells the story of Mary in the style of a memoir while still being faithful to the canon of scripture in the hopes that women who seek to have their voices heard in a male-dominated society will find inspiration and strength. Also, that all readers will gain a new appreciation for the challenges and fears of Mary, her own need for a savior, and her development into an eyewitness for God's love through His Son Jesus Christ. Mary shows how one woman can start out simply and yet become a giant of faith and a model of womanhood.

The Biblical Case Against Young-Earth Creationism by Ken Sauter https://www.amazon.com/Biblical-Case-Against-Young-Earth-Creationism/dp/B0CWSHBWHY When Ken Sauter heard about young Christians losing their faith in college as they were presented with evidence for evolution, evidence of an ancient earth, astronomical methods of dating the universe, and many other secular assaults on their faith, he became concerned about how young people deal with these issues. The fact that so many Christians grow up in a protected Christian environment where they are taught the earth is very young does not prepare them to deal with the assault of secular science on their faith, and as a result, many young people lose their faith. They are simply not prepared to deal with the hard evidence they are presented with along with the assault on their faith. Rest assured there are good biblical answers to these issues, and any Christian can ably defend his faith with the arguments in this book. It is not necessary to believe in a young earth or abandon your faith. The Bible, when understood as it is written, does not contradict science and actually answers questions about the universe and our existence that science is unable to deal with. If you're looking for a good argument that reconciles biblical faith with true science concerning the age of the earth, this book will give you a good start on making that argument.
