Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep
Features of Performance Programs Company's Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep (TX-RELEP): National Principles & Law Key Point Review (60 pages)Real Estate Math Key Formula Review & Practice (17 pages)Texas-Specific Laws and Practices (42 pages)National Practice Tests (500 questions)Texas Practice Tests (125 questions)Texas Sample Exam (100 questions)We know the real estate licensing exam can be tough, and very nerve-wracking to prepare for. That's why we created the Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep (TX-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works - or fails to work.TX-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is Texas-specific - not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate Texas laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state 'key point reviews' ideal for pre-test memorization. But let's not dismiss the importance of the national content either. TX-RELEP's national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice - one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by Pearson Vue for Texas. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state's testing service and your Texas license exam.A word about the test questions... TX-RELEP's testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, six state practice tests, and one state exam sample test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the sample test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews - which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your Texas exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question's answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or "rationale" to further reinforce your understanding.In the end, as you know, it's all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your Texas real estate exam. So good luck!!For Texas students looking for a Principles I & II prelicense textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice in Texas is now available.
Life After Policing
Two irrefutable facts: (1) Money alone will not guarantee retirement happiness, and (2) Although police officers share many elements of the retirement experience with others, some of their experiences, interests, viewpoints, and perceptions differ from those in other occupations. Based on these self-evident assumptions, Life After Policing is different. First, we went to the experts. Not to the self-proclaimed retirement experts, but to 400 retired police officers (your retirement mentors) who responded to our online survey by sharing their experiences, impressions and advice on retirement. This research is current, unique and exclusive to Life After Policing. Second, given that the key to retirement happiness is to replace satisfactions lost from work, this book includes a self-help workshop, based on more than twenty years experience, to ensure that satisfactions lost from police work will be replaced in retirement. In short, Life After Policing is the definitive guide to retirement from police work. Dr. Alan Roadburg is a leading authority on retirement lifestyle education. After six years as a tenured university professor teaching and conducting research in the Sociology of Retirement and Social Gerontology, he changed careers sixteen years ago and established The Second Career Program, specializing in career enhancement and retirement lifestyle workshops. He has conducted hundreds of lifestyle planning workshops for thousands of pre- and post-retirees. Dr. Roadburg's easy-to-read and practical book elevates retirement lifestyle education to a new standard.
Couple Goals
Journalist Nicole Haddow has entered a new phase of her financial life - as one half of a couple. At 39, she merged finances for the first time and as the author of Smashed Avocado and The Ethical Investor she had spent more than a decade researching personal finance, but is now discovering that sharing money and assets in the 2020s is complex. The traditional breadwinner husband and stay-at-home wife dynamics are increasingly rare. Relationships take many forms, with couples often having to navigate new social and financial issues. How do you split costs when one person earns more than the other? Should you discuss what happens if it doesn't work out? Is it right to ask your partner to contribute to your super while you're on parental leave? Should you go all-in with a joint bank account? How do you talk about money without killing the romance? Couple Goals is a practical and inspiring look at what can be achieved if you're a united team. Nicole shares her own story, talks to experts and couples who hold the secrets to success, and shows that when a couple is aligned in their financial values and vision for the future, anything is possible.

The Debt Trap
Today's society spins a lie that debt is necessary in order to survive. The Debt Trap: Understanding the Global Cost of Living Crisis disproves this, and demonstrates how individuals can begin to turn the tide on ever-increasing loans and debt to live in freedom. Through wise words and powerful stories found in the Bible, a better understanding can be gained about how money should be regarded and managed. These principles of wisdom and truth can be applied by those of any faith, or by those who profess no faith. Jesus Christ spoke about money more than any other subject - not to tell people whether they should be rich or poor, but rather to explain the wrong emphasis on money, and to focus on Kingdom values. Instead of how the world sees money and possessions, wealth should be used to bless others rather than seeking to amass as much as possible for selfish purposes. This book is clearly set out, inviting readers to consider their attitudes towards money and debt - through the lens of personality types, understanding values, and making a distinction between needs and wants. The pervasive influence of advertising and the media is also discussed. The narrative then widens to look at world economies and the perilous state of debt mountains that are out of control, threatening financial stability. It considers the economies of the UK, the USA, Ghana, Nigeria, and others.The volatile and unpredictable nature of the world we live in today is also addressed. Over the past few years, there have been big shocks and changes - many involving the word 'crisis' - and the impact of these is a sign to all to get personal financial affairs in order, to better prepare for future upset. In the light of the information presented, it becomes crystal clear that there is an urgent need for individuals to get spending under control and emerge from the debt trap that enslaves them. In gaining freedom from debt, and becoming wise in handling their finances in a healthy way, the reader will then be able to live freely and contribute to society without being tied up in debt repayments - the interest-gobbling monster than looms over so many families. Personal debt not only leaves people enslaved to lenders, but also leaves them vulnerable to global financial meltdown. In making a decision to tackle debt and manage finances, readers will find a wealth of information about how to pursue this goal, including practical steps for moving out of the culture of loan and debt, and encouragement to push through any obstacles they face. They can find a new way to manage money that includes saving and investment, where money grows instead of being depleted. There is a clear invitation to come into a biblical view on the way money is used and how it can help others. This book equip readers to grow into money maturity through knowledge and understanding, bringing them into a place of financial freedom that will insulate them against the powerful forces of debt enslavement and global unrest.

About My Father's Business
In this book, the Author invites you to leave behind the worldly enslaved system driven by Mammon, and join the entrusted system designed by God. The book clearly shows how in a marketplace dominated by Mammon-the personification of money, materialism, and greed-the prevailing system is one of enslavement. It is a system where individuals are trapped in a cycle of endless striving, where their worth is measured by their possessions, and where true peace and fulfillment are elusive. In contrast, God's entrusted system is a paradigm rooted in trust, stewardship, and divine purpose. It is a system where God is acknowledged as the source of all provision, and where money is seen not as an end in itself, but as a tool for advancing His Kingdom and serving others. In this system, the focus shifts from accumulating money to managing it responsibly, from striving for power to surrendering to God's will, and from serving self to serving others.

The Crazies
"Yellowstone meets Matlock" (Tom Clavin) in this dazzling tale of land lust and the American West, chronicling the rise and fall of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana, learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land--and its most precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett's neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who'd come west to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at five-hundred-foot wind turbines. So began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe's rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett's wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans, even as the most coveted rangeland in the West was threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: record drought, raging wildfires, dwindling snowpack. "An epic tale of greed and resilience," The Crazies "has the power to leave you feeling walloped, whip-sawed, and wildly invigorated, all within the same breath" (Kevin Fedarko, New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Park). It's an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful western for a warming planet--and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.
