Xulon author Tony Hart's book, Winning Is Everything (paperback, 978-1-60477-674-4), couldn't have arrived on bookstands at a more relevant time. The book, which shares with readers biblical requirements that ensure a victorious life, also encourages us to face down the spiritual battle in which we are currently embroiled. Many Christians move from one problem to another, perpetually living in the agony of defeat. On the other hand, many Christians somehow find ways to make the opposition fumble. What is the difference? Those who are victorious don't let the opposition throw them off their game plan. Defeated Christians, however, allow the circumstances to redefine their strategy....

Each January, many people are filled with optimism and grand aspirations for the coming year. Small business owners are no exception. Continually improving one's business is vital to long-term success, so what can be done to be certain one follows through on plans for the new year? One business owner has a simple solution to dealing with New Year's resolutions - don't make any...at least not in the conventional sense.

Gone are the days of thinly penciled in lines and painfully over-plucked brows. Today's eyebrows are beautifully natural and attainable by all.
