Book Description
The Trincheros treated wine as a business rather than an ego-boosting pastime for the already wealthy. They understood what customers wanted and unhesitatingly gave it to them. As a result, wine began to lose its image as the beverage of the elite and became a staple on dinner tables across America. At the same time, runaway demand for White Zinfandel catapulted Sutter Home to the fourth largest winery in the country. But there's far more to the Sutter Home story than just business success. This is the rare story of a large and successful business that remains family owned and continues to operate on the basis of professional and personal integrity. Genuine, generous, and humble, the Trincheros stand out in glitzy Napa Valley for their philanthropy, world-class employee programs, and long-term community involvement.

Book Description
After years of having a dream and having a storyline in the back of his head, Michael Furness decided to bring that dream and that story, with all those great characters from that dream, to life and into print. Michael, having a son with disabilities, would always read stories to his son and would take him to action-packed superhero movies. It was his son's favorite type of movie where the superhero would always defeat the bad guys. This association with superheroes and all the obstacles that the superheroes were up against in their daily life led Michael to decide to write a book for his son and making his son the hero with the help of the Holy Spirit, alongside his best friend, Abe. Tyler and Abe would go up against their adversaries, fighting for the good while relying upon the Lord with prayer to advise and guide them. Michael, thinking back to when his father would tell stories of how his family struggled early in their life during the Great Depression, gave Michael an era to set his story and to tell a powerful irresistible way to go up against odds while relying on God's power to make it in life. Tyler moved with his family to the Appalachian Mountains to a small country town known as Hoges Store, Virginia, where most of its townspeople worked for the mining company and lived in dismal lifestyles. Tyler, an almost twelve-year-old boy, used prayer and the belief that with God, all things are possible. This story tells how Tyler and Abe used the powers of God Almighty to take on, and possibly defeat, his foes.
