The 2-degree Difference: How Little Things Can Change Everything

Best-selling author John Trent has realized that, despite the boom in spiritual books pointing to the promise of a more meaningful life, the process of actually changing one's life is still too overwhelming to hundreds of thousands of readers.

The Treasure Tree: Helping Kids Understand Their Personality

Kids will love this creative and fun book in which 4 animals (an otter, beaver, golden retriever & lion) teach personality traits and how to respect and appreciate each individual for who they are.

The Blessing

Gary Smalley and John Trent's best-selling book offers a fresh, updated look at the life-changing gift the Bible calls "the blessing." Many of us-perhaps unknowingly-spend a lifetime striving for this acceptance. The unconditional love and approval that comes with the blessing is an important element of our self-esteem and emotional well-being.
