Surveys indicate that approximately 80 percent of the world's population believe in an afterlife. It is also the belief of most religions of the world that there is some form of afterlife. The belief in an afterlife is founded on faith. We do not have earthly proof that an afterlife exists.It is a Christian belief that the afterlife will be a life that extends throughout eternity. Because afterlife is an eternal existence, it would seem that a significant percentage of people would want to understand more of that existence and adhere to what is necessary to achieve the best place in life hereafter. Sadly, all humans are flawed humans, and the attractions of earthly matters is a distraction from greater emphasis on eternal life. Faith is both a mystery and very individualistic. It is impossible for one human to judge the faith of another human being. The depth and sincerity of our faith will be a judgment made solely by our Creator and will determine our place in life hereafter. During his time on earth our Lord made it clear that observance of his two greatest commandments was necessary to gain a place in His Kingdom. His first commandment was to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and the second was to love our neighbor as ourselves. This book examines additional ways to help us stay on The Path to Paradise.

The intent of my book is to assist writers of all ages and levels of expertise in improving their skills in discovering the attributes of successful paragraph construction with an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of writing award-winning essays. The most critical component of competitive success is the ability to translate an idea into a comprehensive written report. The MEALS (Main point, Evidence, Analysis, Logic, and synonym), an acronym, is a tool designed to act as a guide to promote ease and excellence in writing endeavors.During his graduate work, Dr. Elsayess developed a new tool with the acronym MEALS. The MEALS method could assist while creating written works to earn a degree. In addition, using this method could allow students to move ahead with a good competency level for writing. Dr. Elsayess utilized the MEALS tool for assessing his students and developing his book.Not only did Lovitts (2007) report a high rate of unacceptable dissertations would lead to university dropout, but also, Lovitts (2007) reported that the Council of Graduate Schools indicated that "a 50% student dropout rate, writing the dissertation reported as the major stumbling block."Reference:Lovitts, B.

The 4,600-Year-Old Story of Snefru and His Five Pyramids.The first book that integrates all five of Snefru's pyramids into a single "Story" pulled from the archaeological record. Snefru ruled during a time of transition from the step pyramids with north-south oriented large enclosures of the previous rulers.....to the inclined sided pyramids with the east-west oriented more compact enclosures of the rulers which followed. And during this transition, pyramid size grew by almost 600% when each pyramid was in-turn the largest manmade structure on Earth. The transition and growth in pyramid size was not without major issues which the architects and builders had to solve. And all of this was necessary for the perfection that was Khufu's Great Pyramid.

Succession planning was a vital process for family-owned businesses and was used to describe a wide variety of activities, including identifying talent and skill gap analysis. One of the outcomes of this book is to explore practices that CEOs or owners in FOBs used in their succession planning transition. Through the lens of organizational health, employee engagement, and succession planning transition, I was able to better understand the CEO or owner's perception that impacted the outcome of these three conceptual frameworks. Upon completion of this qualitative study, it was evident that the perceptions of the 15 CEOs or owners of the FOBs drove the data that provided the emerging themes. The emerging themes were utilized to compare past research and helped develop future practices to identify the preparedness levels of CEOs or owners as they completed a succession transition. In addition to developing practices that identified the levels of preparedness for CEOs or owners, I developed an audit to serve this purpose. Succession planning in family-owned businesses was a topic of importance; although generations were transitioning their businesses, their legacy was what remained constant. In developing their succession planning transition, CEOs or owners needed to be respectful of their past, be mindful of the present, and be prepared for the future.
