Most Popular Books by Steve Case

Steve Case, co-founder of America Online (AOL) and one of America''s most accomplished entrepreneurs, shares a roadmap for how anyone can succeed in a world of rapidly changing technology. We are entering, he explains, a new paradigm called the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leverage the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we''re entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major "real world" sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, and food-and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.

"Steve Case, cofounder of America Online and Revolution and New York Times bestselling author of The Third Wave, shows how entrepreneurs across the country are building groundbreaking companies, renewing communities, and creating new jobs--in the process reimagining the American landscape and bringing people together around a shared future"--Amazon.com.

You know that perfect feeling? That Life-Is-Good moment on the open highway with the windows down and the radio up, when the perfect song comes on, and you sing along with carefree, top of your lungs abandon? When joy and contentment and life well up from somewhere deep in your soul? What if you could live that way? A seventeenth-century monk named Brother Lawrence figured out how, and wrote about it in the devotional classic, The Practice of the Presence of God. He found a way to connect with God moment by moment, to experience the joy of his divine presence every minute of every day—whether during deep, contemplative prayer or while washing a sink full of dishes. In God Is Here, Steve Case unearths that seventeenth-century wisdom and remixes it into a twenty-first-century guide to everyday life. With modern, thought-provoking essays drawn from Brother Lawrence’s original writings, God Is Here shows you how to connect with a God who’s always available. God is here. Connect.

If you think classics like Ker-Plunk(tm) and Candy Land(tm) are just for the Sunday school supply closet, think again. Steve Case has taken childhood favorites like these and transformed them into exciting crowd-breakers and main events that can lead to transformative conversations about life and faith.

It''s alive. Oh God, it''s alive. Can a monster pray? The creature invented by Mary Shelley was not the shambling mumbling monster from the movies (apologies to Mr. Karloff). Shelley''s creature learned to reason and speak with his ear to the cabin wall of a family who lived in the woods. He learned to read when he discovered a leather satchel full of books in that same forest. What if one of those books was a Bible? He had no memories, no sense of identity, and his only understanding of people came when they ran screaming from his face. How would this creature understand the word "father?" How would he comprehend "creator?" How would Frankenstein''s monster pray? Wouldn''t this being of rage and pity ask all the same questions of God that we do? Who am I? What is my purpose? Do you love me? How can you possibly love me? Imagine unearthing a collection prayers written by the monster and somehow hidden behind the wall of a rectory in England. The Frankenstein Book of Prayer follows Shelley''s original tale and invites us into the soul of one of literature''s most tragic and misunderstood characters.

But the book of Revelation begins with the claim and promise, "The revelation of Jesus Christ . . ." This booklet presents seven keys for finding Jesus in the book of Revelation. The first four keys apply to any passage of the Bible. The last three relate specifically to the book of Revelation. This booklet provides the keys for a fresh look for finding Jesus in the book of Revelation.
