Why I Stayed - Gayle Haggard

Newman Communications is leading a national radio book publicity tour for Gayle Haggard’s new book titled,  Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour. With hits including stations like the Thom Hartmann Program and WMUZ-FM Detroit, this publicity tour is off to a great start

Imagine this lead line being read on your television. Imagine the shock and disbelief that yet another religious leader has succumbed to immoral behavior. Now imagine that leader is your beloved husband of 28 years.

Gayle Haggard was certainly surprised to hear the accusations of her husband Ted’s alleged ‘sexual immorality,’ but she was truly ashamed to discover that the allegations were not entirely untrue.

In the firestorm of media coverage and public humiliation, Gayle was left questioning the future. What would happen to her 28-year marriage? How would this affect their five children? What would become of the church and ministry she and Ted had lovingly devoted themselves to for the last 22 years? Did she really know her own husband?

The decisions Gayle made during those dark days eventually led to the healing of her marriage, family and her own broken heart. In Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour (Jan. 26, 2010/Tyndale), Gayle chronicles her emotional journey and how she survived her severest test.

The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life

The Snowball - Warren Buffet

The Snowball - Warren Buffet

In this startlingly frank account of Buffett’s life, Author, Alice Schroeder, a former managing director at Morgan Stanley—and hand picked by Buffett to be his biographer—strips away the mystery that has long cloaked the word’s richest man to reveal a life and fortune erected around lucid and inspired business vision and unimaginable personal complexity. In a book that is dominated by unstinting descriptions of Buffett’s appetites—for profit, women (particularly nurturing maternal types), food (Buffett maintained his and his family’s weight by “dangling money”)—it is refreshing that Schroeder keeps her tone free of judgment or awe; Buffett’s plain-speaking suffuses the book and renders his public and private successes and failures wonderfully human and universal. Schroeder’s sections detailing the genesis of Buffett’s investment strategy, his early mentoring by Benjamin Graham (who imparted the memorable “cigar butt” scheme: purchasing discarded stocks and taking a final puff). Inspiring managerial advice abounds and competes with gossipy tidbits (the married Buffett’s very public relationship with Washington Post editor Katherine Graham) in this rich, surprisingly affecting biography
