NEW  Jesus' World - Romans. Priests, Crowds, Dusty Roads, Scrambled Eggs and All, CrossBooks, by Charles Sennewald, assisted by Patricia Casey

Chuck Sennewald, a leading author in the security industry for the past three decades struck out on an entirely different tack by investigating behind the scenes of the four gospels, assisted by a former nun, resulting in this insightful book.

Following is an extract from the introduction:

"This book is not a theological work, nor does it evaluate the religious beliefs and practices that existed when Jesus lived and worked in the Holy Land. We, your authors, are not biblical scholars or trained in the science of archeology. We are simple practicing Christians who wish to introduce the reader to Jesus, his life, his "home-land", his fellow Jewish countrymen and women, in a new light, in a new dimension. We've probed behind the scenes of the four gospels. We've developed more fully some of the customs and practices of His time. We've attempted to turn-back the clock and walk vicariously walk beside or behind Jesus in the ordinary and extraordinary feats of his day-in and day-out life. We hope you can hear the roosters, smell the flowers in the fields he passed through, cough in the dust caused by Him and his Apostles and other followers as they moved from place to place on unpaved roadways which crisscrossed Judea, Samaria, Galilee, and the neighboring provinces.

"Chuck Sennewald has the uncanny ability to take difficult, complex topics and reduce them to easily readable and understandable terms. Jesus' World ...is a delightful read... Hereafter, whenever I see a rooster or hear a rooster's crow I'll be reminded of this book."  -  Curtis Baillie, West Chester, PA.

Shoplifting - Managing the Problem, Charles A. Sennewald, CPP, CSC and John Christman, CPP

Shoplifting: Managing the Problem. Every business and commercial enterprise is victimized by theft, but the retail industry’s exposure to customer theft, in the form of shoplifting, is unparalleled. The cost of the thefts coupled with the costs to combat the crime is calculated in the billions of dollars every year. The staggering sums, in most part, are passed on to the consumer by way of higher prices. But a relatively new phenomenon has appeared on the American scene, which further exacerbates the financial drain, and it’s commonly referred to as "the litigious explosion." That is to say, it's no longer just a simple matter of preventing the theft, or catching the perpetrator of the theft. The focus today is HOW you prevent it, HOW you detain the individual, and HOW you resolve dealing with the detainee who engages in the crime - without creating or inviting legal liability. Effective Security Management, 4th Edition. A classic management book, i.e. organizational  design, budgeting, discipline, control, communication, leadership skills, etc. This work is also "recommended reading" for the CPP exam.

Effective Security Management, 4th Edition, Charles A. Sennewald, CPP

Effective Security Management, 4th Ed. retains the excellent qualities that made the original and earlier editions a standard of the profession: a readable, comprehensive guide to the organization, staffing, and operation of the security function. Sennewald, a recognized leader in the field, applies modern management strategies to the concerns and problems facing every security manager. The focus of this book is not on abstract theories but rather on practical methods, written in plain language, that can be used in managing an effective security department. Also, back by popular demand, are the author's "Jackass Management Traits," 32 humorous, tongue-in-cheek portrayals in cartoon format, of negative management traits that point out graphically the very real problems that can undermine the effectiveness of misguided and unsuspecting supervisors and managers.
