Book excerpt: In A Commitment to Compassion, Avram R. Kraft, MD, reminds us that each of us can make a difference. Avram makes that difference against a medical landscape, but in sharing his wisdom, insights, doubt, and vulnerabilities, he invites all of us to consider what compassion means and how it can be part of our daily living. As he states in a chapter called Repairing the World, "Every day, we have an opportunity to make an impact on one another. You are only as good as what you bring to the table and not what you remove from it."In a very accessible interview format, Avram reveals the kind of small and large daily choices he's made over a lifetime as he's looked for meaning and used his faith in service to others. These conversations underscore the value of storytelling and real listening in a world increasingly full of distractions. Dignity, Acceptance of Self and Finding Balance are among the powerful chapters and pervasive themes that invite the reader to consider their own personal journeys and how they, too, can be of service.A perennial student of medicine, ethics and ancient texts, Avram, a retired surgeon, was an early advocate of hospice and palliative care and a passionate teacher of compassion in medicine. As one early reviewer said of the book, "It is the testament of a good human being who has healed many people physically-and probably even more people spiritually."

Book excerpt: The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.0 Overview School is a complex organization where the miniature society assembles and primarily involved in the process of producing ‘Man’. It also prepares the students to become professionals. The effectiveness of a school depends upon numerous factors such as teaching-learning process, infrastructure, school culture, commitment of faculty, co-operation of parents and non-teaching staff, school administrators, government involvement quality of students, availability of learning resources and cooperation of local community. Munishi, M.M (2008), has quoted “quality of education is perceived in terms of satisfaction of teachers, students and society. The totality of features and characteristics of education and its related services bear on its ability to satisfy or implied needs”. Berry and Parasuraman (1993), view the strategic success of service organization depends on the ability of service providers to enhance their quality by consistently or exceeding expectation. But educational institutions are lack of mechanism to assess service quality. But it is a vital issue to evaluate students’ expectation either from outside or inside. Baron (2000), stresses that the issue of quality not only through the traditional way such as course review, feedback for the quality of course delivery, but also through evaluating students as an element that are listened and encourage to participate in decision making that is more helpful for a positive outcome in service quality.

Download or read book Toward Commitment written by Diane Rehm and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With extraordinary candor and generosity, Diane Rehm, the nationally known Public Radio broadcaster, and her lawyer husband, John, open up for the reader their marriage of forty-two years, revealing the strong and passionate bond between them as well as the conflicts and turmoils that can overtake a relationship. In a series of highly charged dialogues, they grapple with their pronounced differences of background, attitude, and expectation, so that we actually watch them working to understand each other and themselves, and to resolve issues that even after their decades together have remained hurtful and destructive. Their book is divided into twenty-six chapters, each centered on a difficult and important issue: the expression or repression of anger; strong disagreements about money, about family, about religion, about raising children; temperamental differences—she gregarious, he a loner; the complexities of sexual relationships, and the dangers of sexual estrangement and of the intrusion of a third person into a marriage; challenges arising from professional conflicts, from retirement, from aging, from illness. What makes Toward Commitment so fascinating is the opportunity to overhear a husband and wife bravely anatomizing their relationship and confronting their points of discord. What makes it so extraordinary—and so valuable—is their total honesty. These perceptive and searching discussions will resonate with any two people who care enough about each other to reach painfully deep inside themselves in order to resolve their difficulties and emerge closer than ever.

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Background Every organization is facing challenges in the market. Growing competition opened the market, increases preparedness and dynamism of the environment. Human resource is an important aspect to meet such challenges. Competent and skillful human resource can only help to increase the performance of the organization as per the need of the market. Training is an important tool to prepare HR for wining the challenging market and grabbing opportunities of the market by providing skill and knowledge. Training helps to increase the skill and competencies of the staff. Training refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies as a results of teaching practical knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies (Reilly, 1979). The current commercially competitive environment compels senior management into addressing both positive and negative aspects of their organizations in attempts to excel in all areas. Organizations are constantly engaged in activities aimed at increasing access to resources, including manpower, material, money and methods, that will allow them to compete successfully in a changing environment, and to plan and design activities to accomplish the perceived goals of the organization. Growing organizations constantly seek to improve program implementation, to develop new resources or address that needs in the community. There is a need for a systematic process for creating and sustaining improved performance that can react rapidly to changes in the environment. Many organizations undertake periodic assessment of their performance to ensure effective and efficient utilization of resources, to be in line with advances in technology, to meet societal needs and to ensure achievement of the organization's goals. Management experts have developed various tools that help organizations to evaluate their performance in their functional areas with respect to time, and benchmark their performance with industry standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We regularly attend church, know the hymns by heart, and teach our children about Jesus. We are doing the right things. So why do we feel so empty? Although Jesus promised His followers an abundant life, many Christians struggle with a lack of purpose, fulfillment, and zeal. Underneath all of their Christian activity, they feel cold and, at times, confused about the place and prominence of Jesus Christ in their inner lives. The problem, according to Crawford Loritts, is that we've lost our sense of purpose. While we may have a general sense of direction, we have assumed that somehow we can work out the details or that everything will just fall into place. While we outwardly conform to what we say we believe, we privately confess that we know God wants and deserves more from us. A Passionate Commitment will help you understand God's purpose for your life by challenging the things the world teaches you to hold dear. Crawford Loritts will help you revive your passionate commitment to the God of the universe.
