Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation’s short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to find this book motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, “Don’t try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.” Whether it’s Mother Teresa’s acts of charity, Gandhi’s perseverance, or your aunt Betty’s calm demeanor, it doesn’t matter who inspires you, so long as you’re motivated to be better today than you were yesterday. Regardless or religion or geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good, you feel good, and if you do bad, you feel bad. If you agree that Buddhism isn’t just about meditating, but also about rolling up your sleeves and relieving some of the suffering in the world, then you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love; welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!

Hybrid RV living is an exciting, full-time RV lifestyle where you have both an RV and your own lot with full hookups. The lot often includes a small house or casita to use while you're there. It's a fantastic way to transition from a home to the freedom you get with full-time RV living. In the post-pandemic world, especially in the U.S., RVing is expected to grow exponentially as a way to take the family out to see the country, without the dangers of an infected hotel room -- and while still having all the comforts and safety of home. But, unfortunately, there are just not enough RV resorts to handle this new growth, especially for seasonal rentals, where you stay longer than a few days. Owning your own lot in an RV resort solves this problem. As my wife, Sharon, and I have traveled, we have met many people who are selling their homes to become full-timers in their RVs. We made the switch five years ago. We had owned RVs for years, but Sharon wasn't ready to be a nomad. As she told me, she needed a permanent address. That's when we discovered the Hybrid RV lifestyle! We bought into an RV resort in Florida that offers RV lots for sale as well as small houses and full resort amenities. This satisfied Sharon's need to have a permanent home (and mine too) and lets us still enjoy RV living. We use the RV as our master suite and the small house for everything else -- relaxing, cooking, laundry, and it even has a guest room. It provides a permanent address for mail, homestead, and residency. We are full-time Hybrid RV living! It takes a lot of courage and planning to sell your home and become a full-time RVer, and isn't for everyone. That's why the hybrid lifestyle is perfect, as it combines the benefits of both RV living and home living. It's a journey that we hope to share with you. If you have ever dreamed of the freedom of an RV, but didn't know how to make the transition, let us help you! This is why we created - "The Hybrid RV Lifestyle - a Guide to Transitioning RIGHT the First Time" to answer all of your questions. This is a comprehensive book designed to help you make good decisions and avoid mistakes as you embark on your journey to a Hybrid RV Lifestyle. We cover selecting the right RV, selling your home, finding the right lot, storage, insurance, homestead, connectivity, home schooling, and working from the road, along with a host of other things that are critical to transitioning to a Hybrid RV lifestyle. As a bonus, we give you access to our personalized list of available RV parks that sell lots. We have been traveling the country filming different resorts that sell deeded lots, RV homes, coach houses, and casitas (small suites) that are available to purchase. We have also collected information and prices so it will make it easier for you to find the right place, keep mama happy (papa too) and make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.
