Opportunity at Risk: A Generational Approach to Wealth Preservation Through Comprehensive Risk Management
Opportunity at Risk offers a groundbreaking approach to preserving family wealth across generations by integrating proactive risk management with traditional asset planning. Drawing from decades of experience advising high-net-worth families, the authors reveal why most wealth disappears within three generations and how to prevent it. Using real-world examples, including the decline of families from the original Forbes 400 list, the book introduces the concept of financial gravity, the cumulative force of taxes, inflation, lawsuits, and lifestyle pressures that quietly erode net worth over time.
At the heart of this strategy is the Total Family Balance Sheet by Higginbotham(TM), a comprehensive framework that evaluates risk across six key asset silos: Investment Portfolios, Real Estate, Family Operating Businesses, Private Equity, Personal Assets, and Family Human Capital. The book challenges the siloed, asset-only focus of traditional planning by exposing off-balance sheet liabilities, the hidden threats most families never see coming.
This practical guide empowers families to align their emotional and financial risk tolerance, coordinate across advisors, and protect their legacy with intention. For those who have built wealth and want to preserve it, Opportunity at Risk is a must-read roadmap to financial resilience and generational continuity.

Jesus and Other Sons of God: Luke's Christology and Mediterranean Myth
In a world full of demigods, heroes, daimones, and Olympians, how did early Christians conceptualize Jesus's divinity? What symbols, images, and literary motifs were available to them as elements of an emerging belief in Christ as divine? Scholars have focused upon the origins of "high Christology" for decades. Only recently have we begun to address how early Christians inscribed and communicated that belief to others in the ancient Mediterranean.
In Jesus and Other Sons of God, Daniel B. Glover takes up these important, interlacing questions of formative Christian belief. Glover focuses this study upon the author of Luke and Acts, situating him firmly within his historical, social, and literary contexts. Against those who have asserted that early Christian literature was written exclusively or primarily for Christians, Glover argues that Luke wrote for an audience of well-educated, literate peers--a cadre of elite cultural producers who were interested in new religious movements. With this reimagined readership in mind, Glover demonstrates that Luke not only wrote among and for the literary elite but also as and like one of them. In retrieving the presentation of Jesus's deity in Luke/Acts, Glover elucidates how Luke adopted and to some extent adapted both the rhetorical-literary practices and mytho-theological convictions of his milieu to give expression to the way he understood Jesus.
This important study offers at once a more precise picture of Luke's social location, religious engagement, and literary procedure as well as a thorough and historically coherent reading of Luke's Christology in its ancient Mediterranean setting. Scholars and students of New Testament, early Christianity, and religion in antiquity will benefit from the incisive insights yielded by Glover's groundbreaking book.

Fear grips her as the heavy footsteps echo along the isolated trail path. She thought she was alone in the woods, but as a hand reaches out from the darkness to cover her mouth, she knows that nobody will hear her scream...
When Jan Pierce is reported missing, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane rush to the forest surrounding Black Rock Falls.

Then another woman from the same group, Sierra Lang, is reported missing. When Jenna finds Sierra at home, her lifeless body submerged in bathwater amid clear signs of a struggle, she is certain there is a serial killer in town.

As Jenna looks into both women's lives, her heart races when the trail leads to someone she knows very well-someone she trusts. As a member of her own team comes under fire, Jenna is shocked to her core and desperate to get answers. Could the killer be closer than Jenna ever imagined, and can she uncover the truth before another young woman's life is taken?

Sleepy Town Awakens: The Civil Rights Movement in the Town of Plaquemine 1963
"When we catch Farmer, we're going to lynch him." On a warm night in Plaquemine, Louisiana, September 1, 1963, two young black girls heard State Troopers utter these words. What was later coined "Plaquemine Riot of 1963" was the civil rights demonstration, march, protest, brick/bottle throwing, State Troopers on horseback with cattle prods, tear gas and fire hoses unleashed on all concerned. Plymouth Rock Baptist Church was ground zero for the Civil Rights struggle, activism, and voter registration in the United States.
A Sleepy Town Awakens brings the battle for the end of segregation laws and institution of integration. It was between the Local Civil Rights Leaders, CORE leaders, NAACP leaders against the Town of Plaquemine, Mayor, Town Council, Chief of Police, Iberville Parish Police Jury, and Iberville Parish School Board. All the parties used every tool available to achieve its goals, from boycotts, marches, demonstrations, pickets to Restraining Orders, Town and Parish Ordinances, and Law Enforcement supplied with horses, tear gas and cattle prods.
A Sleepy Town Awakens captures events which brought national attention to Plaquemine, Louisiana. From the voter registration drive, the Letter seeking integration, marches on the Courthouse, City Hall, sit-ins in cafes, restaurants, theatres, churches and the Plaquemine Ferry, to the September 1, 1963 Plaquemine March where James Farmer was secreted out of Plaquemine in a coffin in a hearse. There were Trials on the demonstrators. There were hearings for Federal and State Restraining Orders. There was a High School Lunchroom Boycott, which led to an uprising and riot by the Students on the Teachers, Principal and School Board. A consequence of these events led to the election of a 31-year-old former State Trooper Sheriff of Iberville Parish, defeating a 4-term incumbent and President of the National Sheriff's Association.
A Sleepy Town Awakens provides a glimpse into the passion, intensity, and determination of the people and institutions. It gives the segregated culture of a small South Louisiana town, which was considered liberal by Southern Standards, and how the African American community pushed, shoved and yelled for change. In the short term, the African American community did not achieve its goals. The African American's direct action for civil rights did raise the community's awareness of the injustice of the segregation culture. It also led to the City of Hammond forming a Bi-Racial Committee and led to the State Police being more disciplined and efficient in later nonviolent protest. Ultimately, the passage of the Federal Civil Rights Laws brought the achievement of all of the goals sought by the African American community without fanfare or violence. Yet in achieving its goals, some African American benefits were lost. A Sleepy Town Awakens shows these goals did not come without sacrifice, cost and perseverance.

Rose Colored Glasses
In the whirlwind of a life that reads like a twisted fairy tale, Janelle Alexis Flatt emerges from the wreckage of betrayal, addiction, and shattering heartbreak as a force of unapologetic resilience. From a childhood marked by instability and early trauma to building a thriving beauty empire while battling toxic relationships, a daughter's near-fatal spiral into drugs, and a marriage destroyed by brazen infidelity, she faces every hammer life swings-reality TV disasters, spiritual awakenings through sacred plant medicines, and a divorce war that exposes every scar.
But when rock bottom arrives-complete with ego deaths in the jungle, purges in Peru, and the rage that nearly consumes her-Janelle doesn't break. She rebuilds. Rose Colored Glasses is a raw, unflinching memoir of survival turned sovereignty: stripping away illusions, confronting the deepest wounds, and rising fiercer than before. With biting humor, brutal honesty, and hard-won wisdom, Flatt proves that healing isn't pretty-it's bloody, messy, and ultimately powerful.
For fans of Wild and Educated, this is the story of a woman who turns unbearable pain into unbreakable strength, reminding us that when the rose-colored lenses shatter, the view is sharper-and so are you.

Ancient Light: Poems Volume 94
Elegiac and powerful, Ancient Light uses lyric, narrative, and concrete poems to give voice to some of the most pressing ecological and social issues of our time. With vision and resilience, Kimberly Blaeser's poetry layers together past, present, and futures. Against a backdrop of pandemic loss and injustice, MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women), hidden graves at Native American boarding schools, and destructive environmental practices, Blaeser's innovative poems trace pathways of kinship, healing, and renewal. They celebrate the solace of natural spaces through sense-laden geo-poetry and picto-poems. With an Anishinaabe sensibility, her words and images invoke an ancient belonging and voice the deep relatedness she experiences in her familiar watery regions of Minnesota. The collection invites readers to see with a new intimacy the worlds they inhabit. Blaeser brings readers to the brink, immerses them in the darkest regions of the Anthropocene, in the dangerous fallacies of capitalism, and then seeds hope. Ultimately, as the poems enact survivance, they reclaim Indigenous stories and lifeways. -
