Quote by Rick Riordan

“The main thing about ghosts – most of them have lost their voices. In Asphodel, millions of them wander around aimlessly, trying to remember who they were. You know why they end up like that? Because in life they never took a stand one way or another. They never spoke out, so they were never heard. Your voice is your identity. If you don’t use it,’ Nico said with a shrug, ‘you’re halfway to Asphodel already.’ … He hated when his own advice applied to himself.”

“Practical, concise, and rooted in Scripture. These are the words that come to my mind as I read Tony’s book, Beyond Sunday Morning. Tony has a way of packing a punch within these brief chapters while, at the same time, driving you to truly contemplate the point he is making within each one. This is a book that will challenge the average congregant within the church to truly consider the difference Christ is making within their lives and within the workplace God has them in. Everyone can benefit from Beyond Sunday Morning.”

“As a Christian university administrator, it has been my life’s work to integrate faith and learning to equip students to be Christian servant leaders in their respective callings. In this book a dear friend of mine, Tony Carvalho, does not just integrate faith and learning, but rather he aids Christians in going beyond that into our central calling of integrating faith and living. Beyond Sunday Morning is a wonderful guide from a gifted business leader who has implemented these practices into his own life and work. This book is insightful, challenging, and inspiring.”
