This book dispels myths about the value of investment managers, highlights emotional tendencies that can cloud our financial judgment, explains why index funds are a savvy choice, and reveals secrets like why it's better to wait until age seventy to receive Social Security benefits—along with the calculations that make this decision crystal-clear.
Written by renowned investor and popular author Charley Ellis, this must-have resource shows you how to set yourself up for investment success in three easy steps, with information on creating an optimal nest-egg withdrawal strategy to ensure you never run out of money, even if you live until age 100; maximizing returns through tactics like reducing your tax bill and making full use of diversified investment vehicles; and using a safe, passive investment strategy and letting the modern stock market do all of the hard work for you.

Newly Released: Hopeful Realism
​
A Natural Law Framework for Evangelicals Today
During a time when political conversations are marked by deep polarization and difficult decision-making, what resources do evangelicals have to think critically and theologically about public life?
​
For political theorists Bryan T. McGraw, Jesse Covington, and Micah Watson, a crucial resource is to be found in natural law, a rich tradition of Christian political thought often neglected by evangelicals. Grounded in the hope and realism of the gospel, their evangelical natural law theory is deep in moral conviction yet oriented toward practical political decision-making. Relevant to all dimensions of political life, they show how an evangelical natural law framework can speak into debates about the economy, family life and marriage, violence and war, and religious freedom.
Hopeful Realism is a generous guide for evangelicals concerned with bringing their theological commitments to bear on their political judgments. A volume that brings together robust theory with practical cases, Covington, McGraw, and Watson show how evangelicals can participate as evangelicals in a pluralistic, often polarized, democracy.

John Patrick Walsh is an experienced on-screen and voiceover actor as well as an audiobook narrator. Originally hailing from the East Coast, Walsh studied improv in Los Angeles with Bill Applebaum and appeared in several local stage productions before landing a role on General Hospital. From there he appeared in various TV and film roles including North Mission Road, 30 Rock and As the World Turns.
​
Relatively new to the audiobook industry, Walsh has narrated a wide variety of titles including the Hachette multi-voice sports memoir One Magical Sunday by Phil Mickelson.

​
While raising his family in both California and Connecticut, Walsh remains a New Yorker at heart – having graduated from Fordham University, engaged at Lincoln Center, married on Park Avenue and then becoming a Dad at Lenox Hill Hospital, not once but twice. In fact, being Matt and Tim’s Dad is “the very best role of all."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"This is a very well-written book made even more enjoyable by an excellent narrator! Narration skills are so important. if the book is not narrated well, it can destroy an audible book. I hope the narrator continues to narrate science books."
"Not a book for the impatient reader/listener. Rather amazed at this ever evolving, abstruse subject and the amount of astronomical dart throwing by so many experts. At least we can taste the complexities while the articulate book narrator leads our curiosity all the way into a black hole, providing an ending.
The narrator eased my dread from start to finish. Thanks."
"This is a good listen for many reasons. Beautifully narrated and a lovingly cooperative family journey. A glimpse into the world of medical uncertainties and determined parents. As a nurse, I am certain that medicine has limitations and horizons yet to be discovered."
