At 211º water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive.
The one extra degree makes the difference.
This simple analogy reflects the ultimate definition of excellence. Because it’s the one extra degree of effort, in business and life, that can separate the good from the great.
This powerful book by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson gives solid examples of how to incorporate the 212º philosophy into all aspects of your life – at work, with friends and as a parent. Great quotes and great stories illustrate the 212º concept in a memorable format. A warning… once you read it, it will be hard to forget.

“The theme for our annual convention was created around The Extra Degree. The video was powerful and the book made a perfect meeting gift!” – Mike Butkus, McDonalds Corporation.

Finish Strong – Author Dan Green

Finish Strong…it’s more than a statement, it’s an attitude. When you combine the word “finish” with “strong,” you create a powerful platform for action. You often hear these two words from athletes as they describe their goals. The media uses these words to describe the performance of everything; from the stock market to stock car racing. And of course in business, we use these two words all the time to encourage our team to finish the month, the quarter, or the year…strong!
With 20 inspiring chapters, Finish Strong makes a great gift for your team, your friends, or your customers. The powerful stories will provide a “double shot of inspiration” for anyone who reads it!

Here’s a sampling:
• An Expedition in Faith
• A Spirit Forged in Steel
• Don’t Stop Believing
• Dying to Make a Difference
• Believing is Seeing
• To Finish First You Must First Finish

Mother Teresa said, “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” Most women are so busy filling the lamps of the people they love that they let their own lamps run low. They spend so much time and energy taking care of their children, husbands, aging parents, friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and others, that they often neglect themselves.

This new book, Oil for Your Lamp, is about women learning to take care of themselves first – not last. Written by “Femail Creations” catalog founder Lisa Hammond and inspirational author, poet, and storyteller BJ Gallagher, this wonderful new book speaks to women of all ages, from all walks of life. Here at Simple Truths, we celebrate women who light up the world … and we want to lovingly remind them to keep their own lamps filled. Oil for Your Lamp is the perfect book for women who want to glow, sparkle, shine, and dazzle!
