A Knock at Midnight - Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
These 11 historic sermons--some complete recordings of entire addresses, others reconstructed from various church services--make plain why Martin Luther King Jr. considered his "first calling and greatest commitment" to be a preacher of the gospel. As an orator he is second to none, drawing his audience in with an urgency that resonates through every soaring cadence of his familiar, powerful voice. Using insights from psychology, philosophy, and the Bible, he appeals to the heads as well as the hearts of his congregations, explaining that personal and social change can only be effected by adopting a morality of love in service of God and humankind.

Audio-Tech Business Book Summaries
Audio-Tech Business Book Summaries are carefully written summations of the best business books published each year. They are recorded on audio cassettes with an accompanying printed booklet (optional if you desire). The booklet summaries contain charts, graphs and additional materials needed to fully explain all of the book's key concepts.
Each audio summary is 30-40 minutes in length, much shorter than the average of 10 to 15 hours required to thoroughly read and comprehend most truly important business books. They enable you to get the most out of your commute time.

Blown to Bits
Examines how the astonishing growth of electronic networks and the Internet has prompted executives to think about business strategy in new ways. The authors are both senior partners of The Boston Consulting Group, as well as co-leaders of the firm's Media and Convergence practice. They wrote Blown to Bits: How the Economics of Information Transforms Strategy because their clients were suddenly confronting strategic questions such as...
- How do we respond to new, radically different competitors that have reshaped the definition of the industry?
- How can we avoid "commoditization" on the Internet?
- What can we do to keep from losing our customer relationship?
- Should we create a new business model that will cannibalize the old one, and if so, how?
- Can we, as a large well-run corporation, respond to these challenges, or should we start over, "from the ground up"? And, most importantly,
- What, exactly, should we do, now?

Selling the Invisible
A favorite marketing summary has to be Selling the Invisible. Today, the majority of companies are selling services, but they are still using a marketing approach that is based on selling products. Unlike a tangible product, a service is hard to sell because the customer can't see it before he buys it. This summary gives you dozens of hard-hitting, quickly implemented ideas that will help you to market your services, or the service attributes of your products, more effectively. It will make an immediate impact on how you deliver your message to your customers, because in many cases, the conventional approach is wrong.
