The Eternal Optimist
• Christian • Self-Help • Biographical
Is there a key that can unlock the fullness of God‘s blessing and purpose in your life? Is it more than just choosing to ‘believe’ what God will do?
Having started as a secular self-help counselor in the mid-1980s, Don Sullivan spent his next 40 years on a path of discovery after God called him, in a most miraculous way, to a life of self-supported ministry in five countries.
A successful entrepreneur and host of his own national television show, and a happy husband and father of three, Sullivan has learned why many believers struggle while others flourish. Whether it’s marriage, parenthood, business, finances, and especially serving the Lord, Don yearns to see every believer thrive and not just survive.

The Minutes
• Fiction
During the height of Cold War tensions, Henry O'Doran, an esteemed history professor, moves his family to a pleasant California suburb where his wife can be closer to her parents. The O'Dorans adjust to the community's well-steeped traditions and prove themselves to be assimilative neighbors, but, despite their efforts, the genteel veneer of Americana gradually wears thin. Before long, the entire family finds themselves caught in threatening crosshairs when Henry begins a personal project: the construction of a home nuclear shelter.
Heavily allegorical and multi-layered, this quietly thrilling novel challenges preconceived thoughts and perceptions both secular and non-secular. The ultimate goal of this book is to help people break free of boxes and live a fulfilling life free of compromise.
Documentary film:
The Furbaby Epidemic (working title)
Every day, nearly 1,000 Americans require emergency care treatment for serious dog bite injuries. Yet, the pet care industry is projected to continue to soar to a whopping $277 billion by 2030*. Somewhere, there is a disconnect. More than ever, dog owners are pampering their pets, yet children and adults alike are being bullied by their beloved fur babies. How can this be?
Uncovering the alarming, rapidly growing epidemic of dog attacks in domestic households, this groundbreaking documentary shines a light on a subject increasingly shunned and suppressed in contemporary society. World-renowned dog behaviorist, former marine wildlife trainer, and television host, Don Sullivan 'The DogFather' investigates the root causes of dog aggression, and showcases what’s ‘not’ being done about it.
Currently in preproduction.
2027 release.
* MorganStanley.com | “An outcome in line with this expectation would increase total spending in the [pet care] industry by 134% over the next decade, from $118 billion in 2019 to $277 billion by 2030,” says Simeon Gutman, an equity analyst covering hardline, broadline and food retail at Morgan Stanley.
