About the BOOK
One modern life.
One ancient one.
Four short books, each built on a single comparison. Every one is available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle; two are also on audio.
Order does not matter. If you lead people at work, start with Consummate Coaches. If you are building something, start with Extreme Entrepreneurs. If you want the gentlest one, start with Nifty Neighbors.
Extreme Entrepreneurs
Steve Jobs ◆ Jesus Christ
Genre: Faith & leadership Format: Paperback · Hardcover · Kindle
A look at the soul and the way it shows itself to other people. Emerick examines what Jobs and Jesus each did as an “extreme entrepreneur” — Jobs by handing ordinary people complex technology they could actually use, Jesus by moving people from living in fear to living in love.
Consummate Coaches
Bill Belichick ◆ Jesus Christ
Genre: Leadership & motivation Format: Paperback · Hardcover · Kindle
A life coach and a football coach do the same job: they train you to become the best version of yourself. Emerick sets Belichick's tactical rigour beside Christ's teaching on love, service and sacrifice, and draws out what both men did to build teams that kept performing without them in the room.
Nifty Neighbors
Mister Rogers ◆ Jesus Christ
Length: 78 pages Format: Paperback · Hardcover · Kindle
What is actually gained by being a good neighbour — and by having one — at home and at work. Fred Rogers and Jesus Christ serve as the two models, with the traits and habits behind them laid out plainly enough to practise. Emerick argues a neighbour may be close by, or simply close to your heart.
Constant Courage
Martin Luther King, Jr. ◆ Jesus Christ
Genre: Religion & spirituality Format: Paperback · Hardcover · Kindle
A comparison of two kinds of courage that turn out to be one kind: standing up for individual freedom, refusing violence as a means to an end, loving people who are not on your side, and saying the thing out loud to anyone willing to hear it.
Each book runs roughly eighty to ninety pages — a single sitting, or one meeting per book across a month. Discussion guides are in preparation; write in and Tracy will send what exists so far.
Four short books on leadership, courage, neighborliness and calling — each one a comparison.
