Christian E. Barth - "Origins of Infamy"
Based on a true story, The Origins of Infamy tells of Ted Bundy's alleged involvement in the murder of two coeds at the Jersey Shore on Memorial Day 1969. Speaking to his biographer on the eve of his execution, Bundy is offered the chance of clemency in exchange for a confession to his involvement in the unsolved deaths. Before learning what transpired that weekend two decades earlier, journalist Richard Larsen, author of The Deliberate Stranger, is led on a psychological journey through the condemned murderer's past. From Bundy's own voice, Larsen learns the root causes motivating him to become America's most notorious serial killer. Beginning on Death Row at Florida State Penitentiary, then traveling back in time to Seattle, Philadelphia, New York City, and Ocean City, New Jersey, The Origins of Infamy vividly recreates a historical account of New Jersey's most famous cold case.

Senior Pastor Bill Hybels - "Willow Creek Church"
Eighty-five percent of senior executives around the world said that
public trust in its leaders has deteriorated over the past year, according to a March 2009 McKinsey Quarterly survey. The public trust has been violated from leaders in multiple sectors of life - financial, government, business and more. People are looking for leaders with integrity they can trust, and the solution to this problem is the restoration of public trust through credible, faith-based leadership. Now, a record number of business and church leaders are set to attend The Leadership Summit 2009, a two-day leadership development conference held at Willow Creek Community Church's South Barrington, Ill., campus, and broadcast live throughout North America, and eventually, 56 countries. Willow Creek Association is welcoming a record 60,000 business and church leaders August 6 and 7 to more than 200 satellite locations in North America, and eventually 40,000 additional people in other countries. The event features a world renowned faculty, including videocasts from Bono, lead singer of U2, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Karrine Steffans - "The Vixen Manual: How to Find, Seduce and Keep the Man you Want."
In August 2008, Karrine turned thirty and can't believe all she has accomplished in such a short amount of time and looks forward to leaving the uncertainty of her twenties behind and welcoming a new era. With all that goes on in Karrine's business life, still, she insists on being a mother first and finds loves and strength in the support of her family. Working from home allows her the luxuries of being successful both as a literary figure and as a parent and she wouldn't have it any other way. Karrine Steffans is living proof that change is good and confession is good for the soul but she is, most importantly, a testament to the old adage; to whom much is given, much is required and her own adage, just because you may have started off wrong, doesn't mean you won't end up right.
