Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - He could see the life he wanted. He just never believed he was free to live it.Zack was ten years old when he arrived in America carrying memories of war, the loss of his father, and a childhood that had ended far too soon.America was supposed to be a new beginning.Instead, Zack slowly became the person everyone depended on.While his brothers went to school, built relationships, and imagined their futures, Zack worked. He gave his earnings to his mother. He postponed college, abandoned his extraordinary talent for painting, and eventually stopped imagining a life that belonged only to him.There was always someone who needed him.His mother.His brothers.The family.The business.Then illness entered the family, followed by years of hospitals, sacrifice, grief, and loss.By the time the people Zack had spent his life protecting no longer needed him in the same way, he faced a question he had avoided for decades: What does Zack want for Zack For years, Zack had lived like a man inside an aquarium-able to see the world beyond the glass, but unable to reach it.And when life eventually left him sleeping in a room inside the very business where he worked, the metaphor became almost real.Zack Lived in an Aquarium is a true story of war, immigration, family obligation, abandoned dreams, faith, grief, and the invisible prisons we sometimes build from love and responsibility.Above all, it is about one question: After spending a lifetime living for everyone else, is it ever too late to finally live for yourself.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - One morning on Prairie Avenue, Mark H. Awad saw a Black man walking across the street-and became afraid.The man had not spoken to him, threatened him or crossed the street. But Mark's mind supplied a weapon, a robbery and a crime that had never occurred.Where did that story come from In SUBTLE, Mark confronts how childhood fear, entertainment, history and repeated cultural images can quietly shape the way we interpret other people. Moving from one deeply personal encounter to documented patterns in employment, housing and community life, the book examines what may lie beneath decisions that appear ordinary.This is not a book about accusing every person or explaining every uncomfortable encounter through race. It is an invitation to pause and ask: What did I actually observe-and what did my mind add Because sometimes the person standing before us is not alone. Every image we have inherited may be standing beside them.Mark H. Awad is an author, entrepreneur and real estate developer whose writing examines resilience, perception, fear and the assumptions that influence human behavior.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the obstacle is real-but the conclusion is wrong A hillside foundation was estimated to cost more than $3 million.A bank refused to finance the project.A construction mistake placed an almost-completed house at risk of demolition.A neighborhood believed a concrete stairway represented history that could not be removed.Each obstacle was real.But none of them completed the analysis.In What Others Called Impossible, real estate developer and entrepreneur Mark H. Awad reveals how opportunities are often hidden inside the problems that cause everyone else to walk away. Through personal business and construction experiences-and the extraordinary story of a laborer who spent twenty-two years cutting a passage through a mountain-Awad presents a practical method for examining difficulty differently.He calls it the Second Analysis.You will learn how to: - Separate a verified fact from the conclusion attached to it- Identify the obstacle controlling the outcome- Ask what must be true for another path to work- Understand the person carrying the risk- Let the numbers determine when to continue-and when to leaveThis is not a book about blind optimism.It is about investigated possibility.Others see the obstacle and complete the analysis.You see the obstacle-and begin it.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the most important question about Jesus is also the simplest Millions of Christians worship Jesus as God. For centuries, churches have taught that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three distinct persons who share one divine being.But Mark Awad kept returning to a question he could not ignore: What did Jesus himself actually say Jesus prayed to God.Jesus said he was sent by God.Jesus said his teaching came from God.Jesus submitted his will to God.Jesus called the Father 'the only true God.'And even after the resurrection, Jesus said: 'my God, and your God.'Yet the New Testament also contains passages Christians have long understood as evidence of Jesus' divinity: 'I and my Father are one,' 'Before Abraham was, I am,' 'the Word was God,' and Thomas's declaration, 'My Lord and my God.'Rather than ignore either side, GOD: JESUS IS NOT HIM examines them together.Drawing from the words attributed to Jesus, biblical context, Christian interpretations, textual history, and the development of Trinitarian doctrine, Mark Awad asks readers to temporarily set aside what they have inherited and examine the evidence for themselves.This is not a book asking you to blindly accept another person's conclusion.It is asking you to open the Bible, read Jesus' words, and confront one question: If Jesus is God, who is Jesus' God.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - THE CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY MET YOU BEFORE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF.Before a customer walks through your door, he may already have a picture of you in his mind.The aggressive salesperson.The shark.The person who cares more about the commission than the customer.You didn't create that picture.But what you do next can either destroy it-or prove it right.Drawing from years of experience as a general manager in the automobile business, Mark H. Awad reveals the psychology he used to turn pressure into trust, confusion into clarity, and difficult customers into relationships.Through unforgettable real-world stories-from the shark on the sales floor, to the whale in the finance office, to the killer whale who unexpectedly becomes the lifeguard-Awad shows why the strongest salesperson isn't always the one who talks the most, pushes the hardest, or knows the most closing techniques.Sometimes the best close is to stop closing.Sometimes the customer doesn't need more choices. He needs clarity.Sometimes 'I need to think about it' isn't an objection at all. It's a misunderstanding waiting to be discovered.And sometimes the fastest way to earn someone's trust is to do exactly the opposite of what they expect.This isn't just a book about selling cars.It's about selling anything.It's about leadership, communication, human behavior, and one principle that can change the way people see you: Whatever you do-DON'T PROVE THEM RIGHT.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - ONE CLOSED DOOR IS NOT THE WHOLE BUILDING.What should you do when the bank declines the loan, the city rejects the plan, the property appears limited, or the obvious opportunity no longer works You step back, examine what is truly possible, and try a different door.In Try a Different Door, Southern California real estate developer Mark H. Awad shares true stories of properties, businesses, and lives transformed by looking beyond the first solution.A twelve-unit construction project reveals a more valuable future. A family asking for one additional bedroom discovers the possibility of several homes hidden in its backyard. A man planning to open a restaurant becomes the owner of a seven-unit apartment building.

Real estate carries risk, and some doors are closed for good reason. But one rejected plan, one unsuccessful method, or one person's refusal does not define the limits of what is possible.The opportunity may be behind the door you have not tried.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - How much did your mother carry before you finally saw the weight Before she became a mother of eight, she was a young girl in a Lebanese mountain village-milking cows before sunrise, feeding chickens, gathering eggs, and helping her family survive inside a one-room stone house.At fourteen, she left the village with the young man she loved. Together, they began married life in a shack near a Beirut junkyard. From almost nothing, they built a home, a family, and eventually a five-story building.Then war transformed their neighborhood into a battlefield.While shells fell and snipers watched the roads, she searched for food, carried firewood, baked bread, and protected her children. Plastic grocery-bag handles cut into her fingers until they bled, but she never released them. Eight children were waiting at home.When peace finally arrived, it brought another kind of loss. One by one, her children left for America. Years later, they gave her safety and comfort-but could not replace her language, friendships, open door, or sense of belonging.Only after her death did her son understand the true weight of everything she had carried.I Feel Your Pain Now is a deeply personal memoir about a mother's invisible sacrifices, a family divided by war and immigration, and the regret of recognizing love too late.Call while the voice can still answer.Listen while the story can still be told.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - WHAT IF THE OBSTACLE IS NOT BLOCKING THE OPPORTUNITY-BUT PROTECTING IT Most people search for the easiest path: uncomplicated financing, cooperative cities, predictable construction, and properties everyone immediately understands.But easy opportunities attract crowds. Competition rises, prices increase, and the advantage disappears.Mark H. Awad built his real-estate career by examining what others rejected: steep hillsides, inaccessible lots, resistant banks, difficult engineering, construction shutdowns, neighborhood opposition, and foundation problems that threatened to make entire projects financially impossible.Through the true stories behind his most challenging developments-including Cielo Drive and Sunset Plaza-Awad reveals why obstacles must be understood before they can become advantages. Some problems conceal extraordinary value. Others are warnings that the opportunity cannot survive.The difference is judgment.More Obstacles, Less Competition will show you how to: - Recognize value hidden behind difficulty- Separate the real problem from the first proposed solution- Determine whether an obstacle is solvable or fatal- Remain calm when financing, professionals, cities, or neighbors say no- See opportunity after the crowd has already walked awayThe greatest opportunities are rarely waiting in the open.They are protected by the problems most people refuse to solve.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if confidence is not what you need first We are often told to believe in ourselves, overcome fear, and act with confidence. But confidence without understanding can lead us toward the wrong opportunity, the wrong relationship, or the wrong fight.In Before Confidence, Mark H. Awad draws from business, real estate, immigration, personal hardship, and life-changing decisions to reveal a deeper truth: confidence is not always the beginning. Sometimes, it is the result of finally seeing clearly.Through powerful personal experiences and memorable stories, this book will help you ask: - What am I trying to accomplish - What do I know-and what am I only assuming - What is this decision truly costing me - What truth am I avoiding because accepting it would require change - What is the next honest step Clarity does not promise certainty or remove every fear. It gives you enough understanding to stop performing confidence and begin building it on something real.You do not need confidence before you begin.You need enough clarity to take the next honest step.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if there is more to it As a boy in Beirut, Mark H. Awad learned to wait for the shelling to stop. Years later, after building a life and career in America, he found himself waiting for something else: the moment when hard work would finally make happiness last.Then a familiar phone call went unanswered. Illness and loss forced him to revisit the question he had spent years avoiding: What remains when the people and moments we love are gone In this personal reflection, Awad follows the path from wartime survival to work, grief, and a renewed reading of the Qur'an. He considers its promises of accountability and the life to come while asking how faith might change the way we live today.A book about time, loss, and the hope that this life is not the whole story.MARK H.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - FOUR WIVES SERIOUSLY Say those words and the argument usually begins before anyone opens the Qur'an.Some hear inequality.Some hear male privilege.Some hear an outdated tradition.And some men hear only one thing: permission.But what if everyone is staring at the number four and missing the more important question Can one man actually be just to more than one family In this direct and deeply personal book, Mark H. Awad goes beyond the usual arguments to examine what plural marriage looks like when the discussion stops being about numbers and starts being about human beings.What happens to the first wife Why would a woman knowingly choose to become a second wife What about jealousy, love, money, time, divorce-and the children who inherit the consequences of decisions they never made Drawing on Qur'anic passages, family experiences, and stories witnessed over a lifetime, Awad confronts an uncomfortable truth: religious permission does not erase human responsibility.A second wife is not a girlfriend.A wife is not something to replace when the excitement disappears.And another marriage does not automatically repair a broken one.Before asking, 'How many wives am I allowed to have ' perhaps a man should ask a much harder question: 'What kind of husband am I already 'This is not a book telling men to marry four women. And it is not telling women they should accept plural marriage.It is an invitation to look beyond the controversy and ask what Islam actually permits-and what that permission demands.Before you count the wives, count the lives.Because perhaps the most important word in this entire discussion was never four.Maybe it was always one.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - WHAT IF THE GATE HAS BEEN OPEN THE WHOLE TIME For ten years, Mark H. Awad ran a car dealership as though he owned it.He carried the responsibility, solved the problems, increased sales, and became indispensable.But he did not have ownership.The boundaries keeping him there had no walls or locks. They looked like security, loyalty, income, responsibility, and fear of the unknown.They formed an invisible fence.After a chance encounter and a mysterious pamphlet forced him to examine his life, Mark began searching for another direction. His journey carried him from late nights studying real estate at Barnes & Noble to multimillion-dollar hillside projects involving rejected loans, expensive financing, construction shutdowns, survey errors, neighborhood opposition, and the devastating loss of his closest construction partner.Through these true experiences, Invisible Fence reveals how to: - Recognize boundaries hiding behind comfort and familiarity- Separate responsible caution from fear- Question the first 'no' without ignoring genuine danger- Build knowledge before taking a life-changing risk- Understand what a boundary protects before crossing it- Take ownership of your time, direction, and futureNot every fence should be broken.Some protect safety, property, and the people around us. Others remain powerful only because we have never examined them closely enough.Your invisible fence may surround a job, relationship, identity, expectation, or version of yourself you have outgrown.The question is not whether the boundary exists.>.…
