Why another book about men, Godly men, training Godly men, elders, and all of that stuff? The simple answer for another book is that we need to keep looking at the scriptures, looking at what we've done (and not done), asking good questions, and then we need to look at the scriptures again. And hopefully, in the process, we will see Godly men grow, be raised up, and reproduce themselves for the church, for the good of everyone involved, and ultimately to the glory of God). This book is a humble attempt at just those things. "Is a Good Man Hard to Find?" hopes to be an honest confession and guidebook to help us get there. The cover art was designed by the ridiculously talented Jay Holmes, and any errors within are mine. Thanks for considering this.

Many titles describe Ann Duncan. She was a poet, a floral designer, a leader, an artist, a friend, a wife, and a mom. She never sought the spotlight, but her story deserves to be told.

I recently walked through a season of trials like none that I have ever experienced. Following my Father's passing and my Mother's sudden and shocking car wreck, my car broke down with a flat tire. I got poison ivy so badly it was on my eyelids. My children were soon suffering from fevers of over 103 coupled with nausea and vomiting. And oh yeah, around that time I announced that I was resigning from Sovereign King to move to Spotsylvania, VA to plant a new church. Trials? I knew them well. Enduring them well? That was yet to be determined. So I returned to this little document trying to see if I knew anything about suffering when I originally wrote it. I couldn't have imagined when preaching that series that I would to experience such trials, but as I reread these words, I could see that at least God had prepared me well. The second edition of this book features a brand new cover by renowned artist, Jonathan Grauel. The cover art is from his work "Entry to the Territory of Resolution" and the book includes a new chapter about that work's inclusion.

Specialized skills like filing insurance, selling frames, and understanding the science of optics are becoming harder to find. More and more Optometrists are graduating from school. There are less and less jobs. Oh, by the way, did I mention that many of these graduates have over $100,000 in school debt? Optometrists nearing retirement are finding it difficult to find younger OD's who can afford to buy their practices. It is not uncommon for a practice to have six figures in outstanding insurance.

I'm sure you've been to an eye doctor before, but even if not, you've probably seen how doctors give eye exams. The place the phoropter in front of your eyes and ask, "Which is better: One or two?"

In my twenty plus years in the education/sales/optometric/consulting worlds, I've noticed one fundamental challenge: staffing and retaining quality staff. Even when I was a green school teacher a million years ago, I quickly realized that my principal had the daunting task of finding incredible teachers and convincing them to stay in the educational field. Most administrators continually have to overcome those obstacles despite their best efforts. Understandably, many business owners either employ folks permanently (ala office manager) or hire folks specifically (ala consultant) to handle their hiring. Most folks just don't have time for it. But if you either can't afford to spend the money or if you would rather just save a few bucks, this book is intended to help you. In it, you'll find ideas ranging from where to find quality applicants to how to conduct efficient interviews to how to retain quality employees. We hope the book helps, and we hope you enjoy your business all the more because of it. Thanks for investing your valuable time into this book. We never take that for granted.
