Tracy Emerick puts one modern life beside one ancient one and reads what the space between them says about leading, loving, and being a neighbor.
He spent two decades running a direct marketing agency, a decade as a state representative, and close to forty years as moderator of his Congregational church. The books come out of all three rooms at once — practical, plainly written, and short enough to finish in an evening.

"Our coach is someone who will help us navigate through the storms of life."
