Funny Business is based around the theme of - what else - humor, and if you’re familiar with Jon and Guys Read, you already know what you’re in store for: an hilarious story.

No one, so far, has been shown unequivocally to have avoided the last roundup. But nothing is perfect, except maybe that thought, and a guy named Jack got checked out early due to a run in with a hunk of New Hampshire granite. During the process of straightening things out he learns some things about the big "what-comes-next". Most important is that souls are grouped by categories of what the single most thing important to them in life was, and that grouping lasts whatever time it takes for them to come up for their next shot at life. It's usually not more than a couple eternities.

You will learn how to assemble a balanced and talented leadership team, to understand the definition and value of a true business leader, and what resources are critical to business success.

Sexism in Narnia? Or Screwtape? Or amongst the Inklings? Many critics have labelled C.S. Lewis a sexist, even a misogynist. The younger Lewis was criticized for a mysterious living arrangement with a woman, but his later marriage to an American poet, Joy Davidman, became a celebrated love story. As a writer he, along with J.R.R. Tolkien, formed a legendary literary group, the Inklings - but without women. In this collection of short essays, opinion pieces, and interviews, academics and writers come together to investigate these accusations.

Sometimes you do everything right, but it just isn't your day.

Whichever way it happens, it wasn't your day.
