“Good Comma enabled me to get my message out from my church and into the world. Working with their editors was easy. They quickly grasped the flow of my argument, and their input made it not only much stronger but also much more persuasive. The most frequent feedback I’ve gotten from my book has been that people are surprised at how clear it was. Well, that is owing directly to Michael and the team at Good Comma.”

“When it was time to perform a final edit on my book Sharing the Burden: The Samaritan Ministries Story, I turned naturally to Good Comma Editing.

“Good Comma Editing has been a wonderful, highly skilled, and professional partner in our efforts, providing our team with much-needed research and editorial services. The Heartland Institute highly recommends GCE and its staff of editors and researchers, to whom we have previously entrusted important public policy projects that our donors and supporters care deeply about. When we need editorial help, we turn to Good Comma Editing first, and we wouldn’t think twice about recommending the GCE team to anyone in need of professional editorial services in the future.”
— Justin Haskins, Senior Fellow at The Heartland Institute and author of several books, including Stopping Socialism: The Moral Case Against Marx’s Radical Dream (2019).

“As a first-time author, one of the greatest concerns is the quality of the content. A dream poorly executed will quickly derail an author's expectations, however low or high these expectations may be. When GCE stepped into the conversation, this grave concern turned into growing confidence. GCE’s best-in-class team lays to rest any concern surrounding grammar, vocabulary, and logic through their thorough editing process. Bellwether Blues has been an outstanding success largely because the contents of the book allow the reader to engage the big ideas without the noise of poor logic or faulty grammar. GCE deserves tremendous credit for making that possible.”
— Jonathan Jakubowski, Author
Bellwether Blues: A Conservative Awakening in the Millennial Soul (2020) and board chairman of the Forge Leadership Network

The All-Encompassing Return of Christ brings fresh perspective to age-old debates surrounding Christ’s return. The return of Christ is a topic of fervent debate within the Christian Church. Although orthodox Christians agree Christ will return, the specifics are confusing and laden with controversy. One pivotal point of contention is the interpretation of the “millennium” in Revelation chapter 20. The All-Encompassing Return of Christ presents the amillennialism view as the proper understanding of that chapter, asserting that end times are a singular event.
Jesus offers the abundant life—the adventurous, disciplined, and productive life. He invites us to embrace the adventure of our relationship with God and with people. He shows us how we can live with discipline in order to give life to others. And our unity with Him enables us to have a productive, fruitful harvest of good works.
Pull on your boots and join Jon Albert for a guided biblical journey of the abundant life—and learn to experience the life Jesus has always wanted for you.
“Manufacturing matters. But industrial policy has failed and will continue to fail. It allows bureaucrats to favor specific industries, misallocating resources and forcing companies to invest in lobbying and political influence rather than jobs and productivity. It puts taxpayers on the hook for bad investments that cannot sustain themselves without continued bailouts or investments that would have happened anyway — often at cross purposes to other government policies or else for explicitly political purposes. Free-market reforms to taxes, regulation, energy, infrastructure, and education will reduce the size and scope of government and can supercharge American manufacturing, allowing business and industry to grow, return, and invest in the U.S.”

FROM THE CO-AUTHOR OF TWO NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOKS WITH GLENN BECK: THE GREAT RESET (2022) and DARK FUTURE (2023).
America’s economy is teetering on the edge of disaster. Hidden beneath record stock market highs and reassuring headlines lies a fragile system riddled with debt, reckless speculation, and decades of political negligence. When the next big crash strikes—and it will—the fallout could be unlike anything we have ever experienced.
For years, Wall Street insiders and government elites have quietly rewritten the rules of ownership, effectively stripping ordinary Americans of essential property rights and placing trillions of dollars of securities under the control of a little-known financial behemoth. Behind this great property-rights heist could lie not just banks and regulators, but also a vast network of powerful players, including intelligence agencies like the CIA, whose shadowy influence may have helped design the system that now threatens your financial freedom.
At the same time, central banks around the world are preparing for a future built on programmable digital currencies—systems that could give politicians and technocrats unprecedented power to track, restrict, and ultimately control your money.
In The Next Big Crash, New York Times bestselling author Justin Haskins exposes how America’s financial system has been rigged against you, why the next collapse is closer than you think, and how elites plan to exploit the crisis to expand their control. Haskins uncovers the hidden players behind Wall Street’s most dangerous schemes and warns of a future where liberty itself could be extinguished by design. This is one of the most important conservative books of the decade, and a work that will transform how you look at the U.S. economy forever.
The crash is coming. The only question is: will you be ready?
Why are you here? What is your purpose and destiny?
Join Pastor Andy Davis as he embarks on a journey into the very heart of God and the heart of our salvation. Drawn from six of his sermons on the two great commandments in Mark 12, this booklet holds the key to unlocking some of life’s core questions. Andy writes, “I believe that, when all is said and done, we’ll discover that our very existence is and has been all about the two great commandments.” Read on to find out what Jesus means about loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself.
In New & Ancient Justice, David Boyer Wiley presents a revolutionary yet timeless perspective on justice and governance. This book exposes how modern societies have strayed from God’s law, resulting in tyranny, economic exploitation, and social breakdown.
Great thinking leads to great success. But how do you train your mind to think in ways that boost productivity, solve problems, and strengthen relationships?
In Thinking for Success, John Knowlton shares 52 captivating stories that challenge limiting beliefs, spark fresh perspective, and help you make better decisions in every area of life. Drawing from history, literature, and real-world experiences—including his own—John presents a practical and engaging approach to thinking differently.
As the global faith at work movement continues to grow and build momentum, inspiring, life-changing outcomes are happening. However, a sobering shadow side of this movement is rarely discussed.
All too often, unintentional neglect in planning for culture and values continuity results in a rapid unraveling of the firm’s God-honoring ambitions. The sad reality is that any company is one leadership or ownership transition away from losing its higher purpose. Years or even decades of effort to advance the Kingdom of God in the workplace are undone in a few years or even months. But it does not have to be this way.
Now, more than ever, Faith Forward leaders are needed in the marketplace. The opportunity to share the love of God with those who may never enter a church or know a follower of Christ is only increasing as fewer people are active in their faith.
Faith Forward leaders aspire to make an eternal impact through their work, both today and for generations to come. They apply their faith to their work by building healthy organizations that create space for spiritual growth as they pursue operational excellence and strong financial performance.
As the silver tsunami of baby boomers retiring triggers a wave of leadership and ownership transitions, the urgency to strengthen businesses’ culture and values is increasing. Without intentionality, leaders’ ambitions to make an eternal impact will not endure the planned and unplanned transitions and challenges ahead.
The case studies in Lead On Mission show how business owners, leaders, and boards take steps to advance a higher purpose beyond their tenure. In doing so, they increase a company's likelihood of sustaining a high-performing culture with an eternal ROI. While there is no single way to do this, the book offers practical approaches, insights, and case studies from Faith Forward leaders, investors, business owners, and industry experts.
In the context of ongoing abiding in Christ, leaders build structures that reinforce their higher purpose and work to ensure values-aligned leadership continues. The book provides frameworks and prompts to help leaders define, protect, and champion what matters most in their company.
In Authority Over Attraction, Pastor Jeff Schlenz explains that our broken approach to sexuality is the result of suppressing the truth about God and His authority over our lives. Ignoring God's good rules eventually leads to sin, heartbreak, and sexual confusion. Living by His authority and not just our attractions helps us discover and enjoy His perfect design. This book offers timeless truths for a healthy, holy approach to sex, dating, and marriage, providing insights for singles, couples, parents, and anyone seeking to understand the rapid social changes of today.
