The Shape of Resilience: Building Resilience Before You Need It

Life doesn’t wait to teach you resilience—it demands it without warning.

A diagnosis. A loss. A breakup. A job change. A betrayal. A crisis you didn’t see coming. Most people don’t realize how much strength they’ll need… until life forces them to find it.

In The Shape of Resilience, Robert B. Haase shows you how to build internal strength before you need it—through compassion, honesty, small daily practices, and the ability to stay anchored when life shakes.

Drawing from personal adversity, interviews with people who survived the unimaginable, and over 30 years of experience in health and recovery work, Haase offers a practical, deeply human roadmap for becoming someone who cannot be undone.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand what you’re carrying
• Quiet the pressure to “be strong”
• Care for your emotions instead of fighting them
• Build habits that support your mental and physical well-being
• Let healthy connection replace isolation
• Grow from hardship without glorifying pain
• Move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned

Resilience isn’t something you’re born with.

It’s something you shape—slowly, gently, before the storm arrives.

If you’re ready to become steadier, softer, stronger, and more grounded in who you are, this book will show you the way.

Lead by Legendary Example

Leadership is not declared. It is lived.

In a world crowded with quick fixes and empty titles, people long for leaders whose lives match their words. Lead by Legendary Example invites you into the real stories of Jay Jacobson—a funeral director, entrepreneur, and mentor—whose four decades of leadership have taken him from disaster sites to classrooms, from hospital rooms to boardrooms.

Through powerful storytelling and hard-earned lessons, Jay reveals the six timeless pillars of legendary leadership: integrity, presence, vision, servant leadership, adaptability, and mentorship. These are not theories, but lived practices—tested in moments of crisis and proven in the quiet choices no one else sees.

With honesty and humility, Jay shows how everyday decisions ripple outward, shaping teams, communities, and legacies. You’ll discover how to:

Build trust that endures under pressure
Stay present in a distracted world
Cast vision people can believe in
Lead by serving, not by demanding
Adapt with resilience when change comes suddenly
Invest in others so your impact outlasts you

This is not a book of strategies. It is an invitation: to live with courage, to lead with authenticity, and to leave a legacy worth remembering.

Because the most legendary leaders are not the ones with the loudest voices, but the ones who show up—faithfully, humbly, and consistently—day after day.

Your Guardian Angel is a Badass

You’ve heard the Sunday School stories. Gentle angels in white robes, glowing softly, strumming harps.

Forget that. 

The Bible tells us angels are warriors—messengers of God who strike down armies, roll back stone tombs, and show up in the middle of human struggle with strength beyond imagination. They don’t always look like celestial beings, either. Sometimes they show up as ordinary strangers—quietly, powerfully, and on mission.

Your Guardian Angel is a Badass is a collection of gritty, modern stories where heaven collides with real life. You’ll meet Allen and others whose desperate prayers bring them face to face with mysterious strangers. What unfolds is a journey through danger, grace, and second chances that reveals the raw power of God’s messengers—and the greater plan behind their assignments.

Part action, part inspiration, these stories will keep you turning pages while reminding you of a deeper truth: God is closer than you think, His angels are stronger than you know, and His love shows up in ways you’d never expect.

Because sometimes, the help you’ve been praying for doesn’t come in shining robes… it shows up in a leather jacket.
