Book excerpt: Everything in life is available to us when we understand that the ideals, perceptions and success theories currently held within us must die and our minds about success renewed. Regardless of our background, our level of education, or our socioeconomic status, the thoughts we harbor are our own. No matter what we were taught in our youth, no matter what privileges we had or didn't have, advantages in life are created by thought. We eventually succumb to the life that we have thought into existence. This book is about transformation from who you are to who you want to be. No one else can be held accountable for achieving a life you have envisioned. If we have not achieved the life we have imagined, then we must completely die to self to succeed.

Book excerpt: A powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia’s most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world but we can have a say in how we leave it. In order to die well, we must be prepared to contemplate our mortality and to broach it with our loved ones, who are often called upon to make important decisions on our behalf. These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other - to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before, and acceptance of what is to come. Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at the end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life. Intelligent, warm and deeply affecting, A Better Death is a passionate exploration of the art of living and dying well.

Download or read book Dying To Succeed written by Gary O'Neal Grier and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DYING TO SUCEED is not just another compilation of quick fix gimmicks, how-to postulations, or meaningless antidotes. It is a journal of things I learned in ministry over a twenty year period. It serves as a commentary on my empirical understanding and application of the Lord's will for me as a pastor and church planter. To a degree, DYING TO SUCCEED is autobiographical because it chronicles my search as a young disciple of Christ for meaning, spiritual fulfillment, and success. By examining Scripture (along with my personal experiences), I hope and pray that this book will help you to better understand the potential God has for you as you seek to be successful in His service. Throughout its pages, DYING TO SUCCEED reiterates the message that there are no shortcuts to success. Only those who are willing to completely sacrifice all for Christ are those who will succeed. Also, my prayer is that as you read this book you better appreciate the privilege of being a servant for Christ. I pray that you will learn how to better serve Him free from the frustration and anxiety of trying to keep pace with the unrealistic and meaningless standards set by others. And, I pray that you will learn to enjoy your walk with Him more while preparing yourself for the unique rewards ministry offers. Gary O'Neal Grier, Sr. is a pastor, church planter, and host of a weekly television ministry in southeastern Pennsylvania. He is married with four children and three grandchildren. He is a post-graduate student working towards his Ph.D. in Theology and Christian Apologetics at Trinity Theological Seminary. He has earned a Master's degree in Theology from Trinity Theological Seminary and a Bachelor's of Science degree from Philadelphia Biblical University.

Download or read book Art of Living Art of Dying written by Carlo Leget and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without an appropriate spiritual care model, it can be difficult to discuss existential questions about death and dying with people who are confronted with life-threatening or incurable diseases. This book offers a simple framework for interpreting existential questions with patients and helping them to cope in end-of-life situations, with illustrative examples from practice. Building on the medieval Ars moriendi tradition, the author introduces a contemporary art of dying model. It shows how to discuss existential questions in a post-Christian context, without moralising death or telling people how they should feel. Written in a straightforward manner, this is a helpful resource for chaplains and clergy, and those with no formal spiritual training, including counsellors, doctors, nurses, allied healthcare workers and other professionals who come into contact with patients in hospitals and hospices.

Download or read book Dying Every Day written by James Romm and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed classical historian, author of Ghost on the Throne (“Gripping . . . the narrative verve of a born writer and the erudition of a scholar” —Daniel Mendelsohn) and editor of The Landmark Arrian:The Campaign of Alexander (“Thrilling” —The New York Times Book Review), a high-stakes drama full of murder, madness, tyranny, perversion, with the sweep of history on the grand scale. At the center, the tumultuous life of Seneca, ancient Rome’s preeminent writer and philosopher, beginning with banishment in his fifties and subsequent appointment as tutor to twelve-year-old Nero, future emperor of Rome. Controlling them both, Nero’s mother, Julia Agrippina the Younger, Roman empress, great-granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, sister of the Emperor Caligula, niece and fourth wife of Emperor Claudius. James Romm seamlessly weaves together the life and written words, the moral struggles, political intrigue, and bloody vengeance that enmeshed Seneca the Younger in the twisted imperial family and the perverse, paranoid regime of Emperor Nero, despot and madman. Romm writes that Seneca watched over Nero as teacher, moral guide, and surrogate father, and, at seventeen, when Nero abruptly ascended to become emperor of Rome, Seneca, a man never avid for political power became, with Nero, the ruler of the Roman Empire. We see how Seneca was able to control his young student, how, under Seneca’s influence, Nero ruled with intelligence and moderation, banned capital punishment, reduced taxes, gave slaves the right to file complaints against their owners, pardoned prisoners arrested for sedition. But with time, as Nero grew vain and disillusioned, Seneca was unable to hold sway over the emperor, and between Nero’s mother, Agrippina—thought to have poisoned her second husband, and her third, who was her uncle (Claudius), and rumored to have entered into an incestuous relationship with her son—and Nero’s father, described by Suetonius as a murderer and cheat charged with treason, adultery, and incest, how long could the young Nero have been contained? Dying Every Day is a portrait of Seneca’s moral struggle in the midst of madness and excess. In his treatises, Seneca preached a rigorous ethical creed, exalting heroes who defied danger to do what was right or embrace a noble death. As Nero’s adviser, Seneca was presented with a more complex set of choices, as the only man capable of summoning the better aspect of Nero’s nature, yet, remaining at Nero’s side and colluding in the evil regime he created. Dying Every Day is the first book to tell the compelling and nightmarish story of the philosopher-poet who was almost a king, tied to a tyrant—as Seneca, the paragon of reason, watched his student spiral into madness and whose descent saw five family murders, the Fire of Rome, and a savage purge that destroyed the supreme minds of the Senate’s golden age.
