We are all drowning in a sea of words. And, it is getting harder and harder to get our messages out there. The right words, carefully chosen can still do magic: they can make people care about what we care about—they can make us fall in love; they can soothe our aching hearts; they can make people buy our products or join our mission; they can build up a friend or tear down an enemy; and yes, they can change the world.

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Evangelist Maxine Gates Smyles was the last of eleven Children born to Rachel and Curtis Gates in Hughes, Arkansas, in 1943. The family moved to Chicago when she was five years old. Evangelist Smyles was baptized at age ten; however, she did not understand what it meant to be a real Christian until 31 years later. In July of 1974, her brother Silas Gates, who is now the Pastor of Central Church of God in Chicago, introduced her to Jesus. She became aware of Jesus' love for her, and through her brother's witness, she truly received Jesus into her heart and life. After receiving Jesus, Evangelist Smyles attended Englewood Church of God in Chicago for approximately 18 years. There she learned how to study the Bible and to trust in the Lord. After the passing of her Pastor, Brother Luther Young, she later attended Central Church of God, and The Apostle Church of God, where the late Bishop Arthur M. Brazier was Pastor. Now, at New Name M. B. Church in Riverdale, Illinois, where Reverend Dr. Michael Burnside is the Senior Pastor, Evangelist Smyles serves as an Administrative Assistant. She serves on the Mother's Board, the Outreach Ministry, the Sisters over Sixty Serving Our Savior's Ministry, and the Bereavement Ministry. Writing about Jesus and sharing His love, His word, and His saving grace is the motivation and passion of Evangelist Smyles' life. At age 68, Evangelist Smyles is fulfilling her dream, to have her work published. She would encourage you, if you have a dream, do not give up on your dream. You may have to make changes, but there is still time to fulfill your dream. This book in itself is proof that it is never too late to fulfill your dream.
