Mesquite Block M-1048 2" x 2.1" x 21.2" 3 lbs. This is a gnarly and fun block of Texas Honey Mesquite. We've cut this block to highlight its complexity of grain and for its very nice (and challenging!) bark. Depending on what you choose to turn with this, you may be able to keep a natural edge. The colors include the rich reddish-brown of Mesquite heartwood, the golden to grayish yellow of Mesquite sapwood, and the dark brown of Mesquite bark. The bark appears to be tight and strong, but you may wish to stabilize if turning so that you don't lose bark chips. There are gorgeous burly swirls in this piece, with multiple burl bud clusters throughout. Please scroll through the photos to see close-ups --- you may need to scroll down within the photo section as we often show more than three photos. Discounted! This block has several fractures that developed during tree growth, likely from a Texas windstorm. These types of cracks are more stable than drying cracks, but they still require attention. There is one long fracture set along one face, and a short fracture on another face. Aside from these stress fractures, the mesquite is quite solid, and I see no other flaws. It will produce a beautiful turning! |

Love Is Not Enough. Skill Makes It Work.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I genuinely loved this book.
Debra’s core idea is simple but powerful: most relational problems are not caused by a lack of love, but by a lack of skill. That shift in perspective changes everything. It moves the conversation from “Do I care?” to “Am I communicating care in a healthy, effective way?”
What I appreciated most is how practical the book is. It tackles real-life issues like triggers, communication, emotional intelligence, boundaries, and vulnerability, and turns them into skills you can actually practice. The emphasis on personal ownership was especially impactful for me. Instead of focusing on fixing other people, it invites you to ask, “What’s my role?” That question alone can transform a relationship.
This is not a dense academic read. It is accessible, actionable, and deeply helpful. Whether you are married, dating, leading, or simply trying to grow, there is something here for you.
If you want stronger relationships and greater emotional maturity, this book is well worth your time.

Another winner from Fileta!
Format: Paperback
Debra Fileta once again offers practical, relatable insight into human nature. This book looks at how we communicate and connect with others in today’s increasingly digital world, where face-to-face connection is increasingly rare but so necessary.
This book is both timely and actionable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their skills and improve or deepen relationships. With thoughtful tips for navigating communication, she makes complex relationship concepts easy to understand and IMPLEMENT.

A must read, One of the most powerful books Ive read.
Format: Paperback
This book has not just impacted me personally, it has influenced my leadership as well. I found so much value in it that I brought it into my workplace. We’ve started using the conversation cards as icebreakers during team meetings, and the shift in engagement has been noticeable. The questions create space for authenticity, vulnerability, and deeper connection among staff. What used to be routine check-ins have become meaningful conversations.
I am even considering using People Skills as our next workplace book club selection because its principles are so relevant to leadership, ministry, and team dynamics. The skills outlined in this book strengthen emotional intelligence, improve communication, and support healthier work culture, all while remaining rooted in faith.
This book reminded me that loving people well is intentional work. It takes awareness, humility, and practice. People Skills has helped me grow in all three areas. I am grateful for what I’ve learned and highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to strengthen their relationships, lead more effectively, and become a better reflection of God’s love in everyday interactions.

Relatable
Format: Paperback
Relatable and practical that is how I would describe Debra Fileta’s books. People Skills is no exception. It’s practical and offers many options for personal self assessments and useful skill building ideas. I especially like the audiobook narrated by the author.
