With the benefit of his own deep understanding of markets and finance, Charles R. Morris brilliantly analyzes their records—and argues for the importance of humility and common sense in navigating the current global economic crisis.

Snatched By Asmaa Hussein
₦5,000By Asmaa Hussein
Omar has taken something that doesn’t belong to him! His mistake is following him, even into his dreams. How will he make amends? Snatched is a colourful and rich story about telling the truth, and erasing bad deeds by doing good deeds!
This story is based on the following hadith:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Be conscious of Allah wherever you are. Follow the bad deed with a good one to erase it, and engage others with beautiful character.”
We love the idea of having Islamic children’s books emphasize the ability to make amends whenever they make mistakes! When kids know that good deeds will always erase bad ones, they can make sure to implement that instead of just feeling bad or guilty about a mistake.
The beautiful and bright illustrations will catch your kids’ attention, and they’ll want to read this story again and again!

The Heart of Islam: Enduring Values for Humanity
₦5,000By Seyyed Hossein Nasr
As the specter of religious extremism has become a fact of life today, the temptation is great to allow the evil actions and perspectives of a minority to represent an entire tradition. In the case of Islam, there has been much recent confusion in the Western world centered on distorted portrayals of its core values. Born of ignorance, such confusion feeds the very problem at hand.
In The Heart of Islam, one of the great intellectual figures in Islamic history offers a timely presentation of the core spiritual and social values of Islam: peace, compassion, social justice, and respect for the other. Seizing this unique moment in history to reflect on the essence of his tradition, Seyyed Hossein Nasr seeks to “open a spiritual and intellectual space for mutual understanding.” Exploring Islamic values in scripture, traditional sources, and history, he also shows their clear counterparts in the Jewish and Christian traditions, revealing the common ground of the Abrahamic faiths.

Attracting Perfect Customers: The Power of Strategic Synchronicity
₦5,000By Stacey Hall (Author), Jan Brogniez (Author)
Most businesses spend far too much of their time and energy struggling to get new customers or hang on to existing ones-even customers who are ultimately more trouble than they’re worth. Attracting Perfect Customers invites readers to move beyond the notions that “business is war” and winning market share means “beating” the other guy. The authors outline a simple strategic process for making businesses so highly attractive that perfect customers and clients are naturally drawn right to them.
Sound too good to be true? Hall and Brogniez have successfully shown clients how to do it for years, and now they share their secrets. They prove that it is no longer productive or profitable to conduct business using the war-like marketing techniques of targeting customers and outmaneuvering the competition. In fact, these techniques seem antiquated and labor-intensive when compared to the Strategic Attraction Planning process, which requires just five minutes each day and enables any business to easily attract customers that are a perfect fit for their organization-the kind of customers it is a pleasure to serve.
Attracting Perfect Customers takes you step by step through the entire strategic attraction process. The authors reveal the six success standards of strategic synchronicity and share simple, fun, and easy-to-follow exercises that can be applied to any organization. They walk you through the process of creating your own personalized Strategic Attraction Plan and provide 21 supportive tips for making any company more attractive to its perfect customers.
Attracting Perfect Customerswill take you to a place where there is an abundance of perfect customers and clients with whom you can build strong, satisfying, profitable, and lasting relationships.
