Faith & Everyday Life

We all leave something behind.Is what you're leaving behind going to last?

Life isn't lived primarily in mountaintop experiences. It's lived on ordinary Tuesdays — and that's exactly where what lasts is built. Finding Holiness in the Ordinary offers a practical 52-week journey for Christians seeking a deeper walk with God, not through extraordinary experiences, but through the ordinary moments that shape a life worth leaving behind.

About the Author

Dr. Joe F. Alexander spent four decades in higher education leadership and teaching, learning what actually matters. What lasts. He challenges the notion that "it's just business," arguing that what we leave behind is trust, authenticity, and doing what's right—not the bottom line.

From Start to Finish is more than a memoir—it's a legacy of wisdom, written for Joe's grandchildren and later shared more widely. It offers sixty-five life lessons on faith, family, and integrity, drawn from a lifetime of experience.
