Download or read book A Wake Up Call for Wisdom written by Bill Hussey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of Societal Insanities that could be described as idiotic systems, customs and practices; accepted mythologies and conventional wisdom; governmental and business vices stemming from massive egos and out-of-control greed plus stupidity, hypocrisy, unethical behavior and declining integrity everywhere. The chapters are seasoned with occasional humor, profanities and, some would say, obscenities. But thats not true, according to the author (see Chapter Thirty-One). This book could be considered tame compared to books by George Carlin, the brilliant philosopher/comedian, however his fans would probably like it. At the end of each chapter where it is appropriate, the old sage (thats the authors role in this book) provides a SAGE SOLUTION to the problem a concept for change that could possibly lead to a workable plan. It would require experts in all aspects of the problem to work together in a spirit of cooperation, using their experience, intelligence and WISDOM. Yes, thats a tall order, but something must be done to put this country back on the right track. And the people in Washington who are supposed to be solving our domestic and international problems should sit down together, put their political doctrines aside, quit trying to win their stupid partisan war and concentrate on saving this country! Thirty-four of the thirty-eight chapters in this book are about different societal insanities, so you could start with the Foreword and read straight through, or you could look at the Table Of Contents, select a chapter with subject matter that interests you and read the complete book in the order you prefer. However, for better understanding of any chapter, be sure to read the Foreword and Chapter One before reading other chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wake Up Call asks a lot of questions. After surviving cancer twice, author Louwrens Erasmus was determined to find answers. For fifteen years he studied the Bible and searched for answers, only to end up with more questions. Is there a heaven? Do we know all the entry requirements to be completely sure of the fact that we will enter into heaven? How did the prophets of the Old Testament see the future? Did they ever mention the millennial reign of Jesus Christ? What will this Kingdom look like? Did they see the so-called rapture of the saints, or is it a fairy tale? This is not your average interpretation of these and other prophecies, but a radical new look at everything we as Christians have taken for granted. We are so often taught not to question our basic Christian beliefs or our Church fathers. Is this the right thing to do? This phenomenal book describes what heaven looks like as well as what the judgments are against today's various church groups. It looks at how this phase will end and who will enter into the New Jerusalem, as told to us in Revelation.

This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is in trouble. Out of control spending! Massive debt! Political ineptness! Constitutional indifference! Corporate greed! Union corruption! Moral chaos! Biblical faith under attack! Militant Islam! Fifth column foes within and powerful enemies without! National weakness from top to bottom! Our very survival is at stake. Is there a way out or is it too late? Our founding Fathers would be appalled, but not surprised, at the depth to which our once legitimately proud nation has plunged. Understanding the biblical view of fallen human nature they built a cultural foundation based on Judeo-Christian Law and values unknown in the world before or since. But as brilliant as they were they could not win the battle to keep the foundation intact for posterity. They charged each generation with that. Restoring Cultural Foundations: A Wake Up Call to America shows through a study of the Ten Commandments that a return to the Judeo-Christian principles on which the Founders built our nation is imperative for an orderly society and lasting liberty. Departing from Gods ways, they believed, courted certain disaster. Written for families, businesses and churches the author lays out ways our nation can return to our foundation and regain our lost dignity, security and well-being.

Download or read book A Wake Up Call for Every Indian written by Prahalad Rao and published by BlueRose Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the last address of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar to the Constituent Assembly on 25th November, 1949. Dr. Ambedkar expressed great concerns on the preservation of the Democracy enshrined in the Constitution. These concerns made the author take up writing. The country has been in turmoil for about the past 30 years with an uncertain future for the present and coming generations. The idea is to recapture Dr. Ambedkar's message to the political parties governance and to people. The author has made an earnest effort to highlight the concerns of the father of the Constitution and his farsightedness to forewarn politicians and the people of the country about what would happen if self-interest takes the front seat and the interest of the country is pushed back. In the midst of the prevailing chaos, the author, through this book, wishes to give A Wake Up Call to Every Indian, not from his own views, but from those who foresaw the emerging critical political environment in the country which is destroying the basic constitutional fiber as well as threatening the democratic development of the country. Our independence can only be sustained if there is a coherent call from political and religious leaders, who are ignoring their fundamental duties for their own self aggrandizement. The need of the hour is to sprinkle and spread the perfume of harmony and oneness without ascribing any kind of scourge but upholding the God-given message of humanism as the sole consideration for development in every walk of life. A nation is built not merely on valor but through upholding the virtues of the ancestors and those who sacrificed their lives for freedom.

Book excerpt: I don't know about you, but I need all the help I can get when it comes to spiritually jump-starting my day. Some days I get up and it is all I can do to concentrate on a few verses of Scripture.

On such days I have found it helpful to have a source to direct my thoughts toward God. I need a tool to help me rouse my weary spirit and prepare to take on yet another day of kingdom building. In short, I need a wake-up call. Do you? So writes Will Davis Jr., in Wake-Up Calls. Wake-Up Calls helps bleary-eyed Christians to better see God's kingdom. It deals practically with such topics as temptation, sin, prayer, relationships, suffering, conflict, death and obedience with honesty and in-your-face clarity. If you need a blast of kingdom reality that cuts through the morning's spiritual fog, then Wake-Up Calls is for you.
Download or read book A Wake Up Call written by V. I. .Umenyiora and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wake-Up Call! was written by V. I. Umenyiora “because we have political problems in Nigeria and indeed Africa. My Heads of State from 1980 on made a public pronouncement inviting Nigerians home and abroad to submit solutions they consider will help solve some, if not all of the problems. I succeeded in this because they are using parts of the solutions I submitted in my previous books.” Following are some of the major solutions the author proposed: In his first publication, Nigeria – survival or disintegration! (ISBN 978-2335-28-2, 1988) you'll find: - Option A-4 taken verbatim from the pages; he recommended need for finger/ name-reader machines for use to simplify the exercise, which is in use now in Nigeria. He also proposed a need for a “National Orientation programme” for Nigeria to be installed in 1992; civil service reform or strengthening to serve the political parties irrespective of which one is in power in the country; the need for recapitalisation of banks to help business organisations raise adequate funding for their enterprises to cushion the effect of SAP, which not only debased the local currency but truncated all capital investments economically by the citizens! He also proposed the need to curb corruption, including an asset detection mechanism for Nigeria to help politicians/public servants in declaration of assets as required by the Constitution. It was pointed out there was a need for a “common-pool” approach in 1988-1989 and 1993, and in particular on the 4th June 2015 correspondence to the president against corruption. The author points out that banking reform, government corruption, affordable housing, infrastructure repair, and environmental concerns are only some of the problems being faced in Nigeria. This is the Challenge to What You Can Do for Your Country!
