Book excerpt: Kyle Hayden has been the pastor of the Crofington Living Water church for over five years. He has delivered the same condemning message that has met with the approval of the congregation for the entirety of that time. In spite of the approval he receives with his shallow messages, Kyle has been questioning if that is all there is to ministry, keeping a few narrow-minded people happy with bigoted preaching. Not only is Kyle questioning his ministry, he is also holding a secret, a secret he is not even willing to let himself know or at least admit. If he acknowledges and reveals this deeply hidden part of himself, how will it affect his ministry, his children, the community he serves, but most importantly his wife? Rev. Hayden has to make a decision for authenticity before he can effectively move forward in Gods plan, but is there any moving forward authentically in Gods plan when the dark secret he holds can undo any hopes he has for the future?

Download or read book Is There Time written by David J. Whicker and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a culture where there is no time for ourselves. We need to slow down and make time for ourselves. Make time for the Lord. Everybody is self-sufficient in everything these days. We need to have the right attitude in our service to the Lord. God's strategy for successful living character is more important than intelligence. The Bible is God's word to man, not man's word about God. God's word reveals the purpose and plan for man. Satan is conditioning us for what he is bringing in the future, to make it look acceptable. God meant for sex to build a bond between a man and a woman in marriage, but man can pervert anything. Sex is one of the most powerful things humans have to deal with. The seventy weeks of Daniel: the cross is at the end of the sixty-two weeks, the cross is at the beginning of the seven weeks, and the cross is in the middle of the final week. The cross is what ties this prophecy together. The church age was put into place to reach the lost. Christ had five things to say about each of the seven church ages: description, commendation, criticism, instruction, and promises. Before Christ is the Tribulation period. After Christ is the End-Time Tribulation period. The Great Tribulation starts with the trumpets and goes until the return of Christ. The purpose of the Bible is to reveal Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Heaven and hell are real places. With one, we will always be with God, and with the other, we will always be separated from God. Both will be forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of her mother when she turned ten, Judith Friedland learned to be resilient. She met the expectations for upper-middle-class women in Toronto in the 1940s and 1950s, which included post-secondary education, marriage, and motherhood. While raising a family and supporting her husband’s academic career, she continued her formal education through part-time study and gradually began a journey tailored to herself as an individual. In her forties, she embarked on her own academic career, rising through the ranks to become a tenured full professor and chair of the department of occupational therapy in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. In There Was a Time for Everything, Friedland reflects on her life and the fact that over time she managed to "have it all" – just not all at once.

Book excerpt: In Their Time revolves around the life and times of Harriet Arnold, mistress of Daffodil Hill. Tall, attractive, headstrong, auburn haired Harriet finds herself struggling to survive during the Union army's occupation of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. With her husband Edwin, away fighting under the command of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Harriet struggles to raise two teenage daughters and to protect her palatial home and property from Yankee soldiers who several time threaten to set her home ablaze. And if dealing with the Union soldiers were not enough, she also is forced to deal with Daffodil Hill's former revengeful overseer and a sex-crazed gambler bent on kidnapping her daughters and beautiful young house guests. Although this carefully researched, historically accurate novel brings a people, a place and a time alive again it goes beyond a portrayal of a particular people in a specific place while exploring the broader war, especially those battles that directly impacted Middle Tennessee. Although sorely tested, Harriet's early frontier training has prepared her well for the challenges she must face during the dark and difficult war years. Faced with events so shocking that she could never have imagined in her wildest dreams, Harriet somehow manages to courageously defend her household with grit and a fierce and indomitable spirit.

Download or read book In Their Time written by Anthony J. Mayo and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2005-10-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great business leaders possess more than celebrated traits like charisma and an appetite for risk. They have "contextual intelligence"—a profound ability to understand the Zeitgeist of their times and harness it to create successful organizations. Based on a comprehensive Harvard Business School Leadership Initiative study, Anthony J. Mayo and Nitin Nohria present a fascinating collection of stories of the 20th century's greatest leaders, from unsung heroes to legends like Sam Walton and Bill Gates. The book identifies three distinct paths these individuals followed to greatness: entrepreneurial innovation, savvy management, and transformational leadership. Through engaging stories of leaders in each category, the authors show how, by "reading" the context they operated in and embracing the opportunities their times presented, these individuals created, grew, or revitalized outstanding American enterprises. A canon of leadership success from the last century, In Their Time reveals insights for contemporary leaders hoping to build lasting legacies.
