Ida Presti. Luise Walker. Josefina Robledo. Maria Luisa Anido. Unrecognizable names for many, yet these women were pioneers of modern classical guitar during the early and mid-twentieth century who performed and/or recorded with the legendary Andrés Segovia. These women not only blazed a trail--indeed, they
widened the stage door entrance--for contemporary artists such as Sharon Isbin, Liona Boyd, Dale Kavanaugh, Ana Vidovic, Badi Assad, Lily Afshar, Antigoni Goni, Lily Afshar, Margarita Escarpa, Ana Maria Rosado, Meliset Abreu, Janet Marlow, Berta Rojas, and many others. Now, for the first time the world's top female classical guitar artists and teachers offer their thoughts and perspectives on the feminine
approach to classical guitar, and the conditions that have led to such a recent and rapid increase in the number of women classical guitarists around the world.

In the follow-up book to 50 Things You Can Do NOW to Help Keep Your Job, veteran hiring manager J.T. Kirk reveals even more strategies to help you secure your job in this current economic recovery that doesn’t include as much hiring as previous recoveries. Author J.T. Kirk continues with his sage advice backed by more than 20 years as a hiring manager for Fortune 500 companies on how people can keep their jobs in economic downturns where workforce reductions have become more commonplace, and where jobs lost during the recent recession have been replaced by fewer and different types of jobs.

For a Higher Purpose offers biblically sound, discerned guidance for selecting music for worship. Inappropriate worship music choices or music that does not represent the best of church music criteria often send mixed messages to congregations. Some music choices that entertain and induce shallow emotional "highs" are but a symptom of contemporary movements and philosophies that threaten the integrity and sufficiency of Scripture, and draw us away from meaningful communion--not as we want, but as God deserves. Includes essays from many church music authorities.

Sonic branding is the use of music or sounds to help establish brand identity with consumers. Author, classical guitarist, and former marketing professional Donn LeVie Jr. developed a method that places classical guitar music and a company's marketing materials together on a CD, called an interlaced CD, or iCD. iCDs are packaged promoting the particular business. Sonic branding with iCDs not only helps strengthen brand identity, it helps reinforce the customer experience with products and services, and builds repeat customers. Free demo i-CD available.

The Bible tells us in Acts 6:8-8:1 that Stephen was the first Christian martyr and that Paul, prior to his conversion, not only witnessed the event, he was an accomplice, holding the garments of those casting the stones. Violence against Christians has increased rapidly around the world in recent years. Most Christians know of violence against Iraqi and Pakistani Christians and against Christians in other Muslim countries, but the recent increase in hostile treatment of Christians in India, a largely Hindu culture, has many alarmed. History has shown that a person forced to convert to any religion at the end of a sword or gun remains a person unconvinced. In Christianophobia, Donn LeVie explores the deeper significance and causes for such unprovoked and deadly violence against Christians around the world.
