What are the origins of greatness? Few other questions have caused such intense debate, controversy, and diversity of opinions. In recent years, a large body of research has accumulated that suggests that the origins of greatness are extraordinarily complex. Instead of talent or practice, it's talent and practice. Instead of nature or nature, it's nature via nurture. Instead of practice, it's deliberate practice. Instead of the causes of greatness in general, it's the determinants of greatness specific to a field. The Complexity of Greatness brings together a variety of perspectives and the most cutting-edge research on genes, talent, intelligence, expertise, deliberate practice, creativity, prodigies, savants, passion, and persistence. A variety of different domains are represented, including science, mathematics, expert memory, acting, visual arts, music, and sports. This book demonstrates that the truth about greatness is far more nuanced, complex, and fascinating than any one viewpoint or paradigm can possibly reveal. Indeed, it suggests that the time has come to go beyond talent or practice. Greatness is much, much more.

PRAYERS FOR THOSE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREATNESS is not only a book of power prayers that help bring about spiritual transformation but one that offers practical wisdom for releasing past wounds, recognizing inner strength and reclaiming victory. Readers have described it as "healing"; "restorative"; "visionary"; "soothing"; "redemptive guidance that always comes at the right time." Reverend Loving offers a nondenominational exploration of spiritual truth by probing into the metaphysical meaning of scripture and its application to the daily demands of life. The prayers minister to the reader -- not by begging God -- but opening hearts, minds and souls to embrace their God-given power. The prayers provide lessons dealing with struggles like divorce, losing weight, making difficult decisions, work relationships, and transitioning from one career to another. The book is a lasting keepsake and reminder that we are the change that we seek in this world. It is a powerful tool for those struggling to get out of a rut and move forward with their lives. "God is in the everyday, ordinary cracks and crevices of life," Reverend Loving says. "God is in the messiness and the unfit and the sloppy. PRAYERS helps us begin again from wherever we are -- and move forward with our life." Reverend Loving tells the story of how a seminary classmate came to her law office one day, as Reverend Loving sat there -- doubting what God had called her to do. Her friend took one look at her and said, "you are just standing on the edge of greatness." The book teaches us that we are all standing on the edge of our potential and gives us meaningful steps for moving forward and crossing the threshold into success.
