Download or read book The Allure of Gentleness written by Dallas Willard and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ’s word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus’s message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. This beautiful model of life—this allure of gentleness—Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.

About the Author: Coming from a family deeply entrenched in the fragrance industry, this individual belongs to a self-owned perfume house, celebrated as a pioneering Attar manufacturer. The family's perfumery legacy dates back to the 1950s when their grandfather initiated a small perfumery establishment in their hometown, Lucknow, India. This familial foundation set the stage for his journey into the realms of fragrance creation, manufacturing, and business management. His early fascination with perfumery ignited during high school, and his education in Pharmaceutical Science further broadened their knowledge, encompassing elements like cosmetics, chemistry, herbs, and analysis. The intricate world of fragrances, both natural and synthetic, was largely self-taught, with guidance from perfumery literature. It took him four dedicated years to refine their skills and produce commercially successful fragrances. Intriguingly, he also delved into the ancient art of creating Attars, employing traditional distillation methods that spanned several months. This process not only demanded patience but also deepened his understanding of natural ingredients. Expanding his horizons, he ventured into the global fragrance industry as an expert and evaluator, contributing their expertise to various product categories for clients across over five countries, serving numerous consumers, and continually evolving as a professional. He firmly believes that perfumery is an everlasting odyssey of learning, growth, and creation, where each fragrance conceals an unseen sensuality, waiting to be realized.

Swept into encounters with allies more unpredictable than enemies, Jonathan pieces together his destiny as a member of a secret society devoted to keeping our world separate from Aurora. But as the ground shifts and allegiances change with every step, he and his friends sink ever deeper into a deadly pursuit of the profound evil that is also chasing after them.

Book excerpt: Two neighbors and long-time friends come face-to-face with their forbidden fantasies in this sizzling ebook from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Nicole Edwards. Zoey Stranford might’ve had a crush on the sexy boy next door since middle school, but she’s a woman now, and that crush has turned into a full-blown case of lust. So why is it that at twenty-nine, her libido decides to ramp into high gear and the only thing she can focus on is the intensely sexy, scorching hot boy next door who is definitely not a boy anymore? The only problem is that Zoey and Kaleb have been best friends for as long as she can remember. Not to mention, Kaleb and his brothers are working on buying Stranford land to build a new resort, and she’s more than a little hesitant about his intentions. Kaleb Walker has had his eye on Zoey for close to twenty years, but never before has he considered taking their friendship to the next level, no matter how many fantasies he’s had about her over the years. That doesn’t explain why Kaleb is hell bent on having her—in as many ways as possible. Kaleb finds himself in a precarious situation. His brothers have nominated him to pursue Zoey’s father about purchasing the land needed to get their new resort off the ground. Finding out that Carl Stranford is on the brink of foreclosure and Zoey might just lose her house and the land, Kaleb now has to convince her to put aside her pride and let him help her. It doesn’t take long before the flames start burning bright and hot, and the two of them burn up the nights and the days as they explore each other’s forbidden fantasies. But can their friendship survive a business transaction or the new friends with benefits clause? Or will they realize that they’ve been overlooking something much deeper that’s been right in front of them all along?
