Speeches of Note is a celebration of oratory old, new and unspoken. It is an obsessively curated, richly illustrated and sumptuously produced collection of speeches from throughout the ages. Some are surprising, inspiring, hilarious; others are moving, comforting, enlightening. Some of these speeches changed the course of history; others are all but unknown, even undelivered to this day, such as the chilling public announcement to be made by President Nixon should Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the moon. All are extraordinary.

This book is different. You’ll find nothing here about diet or exercise. No keto, paleo, supplements, superfoods or smoothies or workout recommendations. No promises of magic bullets that miss the mark, and somehow that’s your fault! If you find yourself frustrated, exhausted and deeply discouraged in your struggle with weight, this book may be for you. If you feel disgusted with your body, or hate yourself for being weak and undisciplined, this book is definitely for you!

Discipline: Mastery of Self confronts the areas where men most often compromise—habits, sexual integrity, self-control, obedience, and endurance under pressure. This is not a devotional and not a motivational listen. It is a call to formation. This book exposes the conflict between flesh and Spirit and names, without euphemism, how indulgence, secrecy, and passivity erode authority. It challenges the misuse of "grace" as permission to remain undisciplined and reclaims grace as the power to change.

Procrastination is one of the most well-known issues that humans have. For as long as humans have been around, they have been faced with the habit of delaying, avoiding, and procrastinating on different issues. During humans' more productive moments, when they figure out temporarily how to stop procrastinating, they feel satisfied and accomplished. But those moments don't last forever. You need to know that there exists a way to stop the procrastination problem--a cure that will help you have more productive moments than avoiding them.

This is not a book for comfortable Christians. The Iron & Fire Series is written for men who are tired of drifting, tired of weak faith, and tired of a version of Christianity that demands nothing and produces nothing. Men are not lacking information. They are lacking formation. This book does not ask how you feel. It asks who you obey. Forged: Identity Under Authority confronts the root issues most men avoid.
