Download or read book From One Father to Another written by Kevin Robert Jarvis and published by Word Alive Press. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever questioned how God can allow so much evil and suffering in this world? Perhaps you are kept awake at night wondering if God even hears your prayers at all. Do you get anxious speculating if God has a specific plan for your life? Is Christianity more true than other religions? Maybe you have even questioned if our gift of free will is worth the horrific consequences that we see so often on the daily news. During an afternoon walk, Kevin was pondering some of these same questions. One kept nagging at him: why would God create us to live in such a broken world? As he walked in silence, the question continued to haunt him. God answered him in the depths of his heart with a question of his own. “If you are willing to question why I would bring my children into such a fallen world, then how do you justify bringing your own three children into the same world?” The answer was the start of a journey, a humble journey into the heart of God, which became From One Father to Another.
Download or read book The Intentional Father written by Jon Tyson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves. The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence--young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family. It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.
Download or read book Notes From One Father to Another written by Ronald Bentley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People hear from the Lord in many different ways. Some see visions; some have dreams. I tend to get phrases and illustrations, which makes sense since my passion is to make Bible truths easy to understand. A few years ago, the Lord impressed me to start writing these things down. I really had no intention of putting them in a book; my lovely wife is largely responsible. She is certain it will be a blessing, so I will do the manly thing and blame her. I don't know anyone that I agree with 100 percent, and I figure that I am not alone, but if this book gets you thinking, then it has done its job. God bless you! Ron

Book excerpt: Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don’t need to do all the “right” things as a parent. Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety—more than any other factor—is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well. Learn how to use emotional safety as a foundation from which you parent—and make a cultural impact that could change the world! In Safe House, Dr. Straub draws from his extensive research and personal experience to help you: - Foster healthy identity and social development in children of any age - Win the war without getting overwhelmed in the daily battles - Discipline in a way that builds relationship - Understand how the culture is affecting your child and what you can do about it - Cultivate responsible, self-regulating behavior in your kids - Establish an unshakeable sense of faith, morality, and values in your home - Feel more confident and peaceful as a parent - Find a greater perspective on parenting than what you might see on a daily basis Also includes a Safe House Parenting Assessment.

Download or read book Essential Actions for Academic Writing written by Nigel A. Caplan and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Actions for Academic Writers is a writing textbook for all novice academic students, undergraduate or graduate, to help them understand how to write effectively throughout their academic and professional careers. While these novice writers may use English as a second or additional language, this book is also intended for students who have done little writing in their prior education or who are not yet confident in their academic writing. Essential Actions combines genre research, proven pedagogical practices, and short readings to help students develop their rhetorical flexibility by exploring and practicing the key actions that will appear in academic assignments, such as explaining, summarizing, synthesizing, and arguing. Part I introduces students to rhetorical situation, genre, register, source use, and a framework for understanding how to approach any new writing task. The genre approach recognizes that all writing responds to a context that includes the writer's identity, the reader's expectations, the purpose of the text, and the conventions that shape it. Part II explores each essential action and provides examples of the genres and language that support it. Part III leads students in combining the actions in different genres and contexts, culminating in the project of writing a personal statement for a university or scholarship application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Wheeler spent his early years in the idyllic surroundings of the Lake District of northern England. But when he was eight years old his father returned from war service and the family moved south to their cramped home in north London. There they joined an "assembly of saints" of the Open Brethren, and so began eight years of a strict and exclusive religious upbringing. Sexually assaulted by an older boy, forbidden to write to his childhood sweetheart, and subtly pressurized into conversion, Charles twice came close to making his escape-first by running away to the Shetland Islands, and later, wracked by guilt over making a false conversion, by using his father's revolver. His escape was achieved when he joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen; but conversion to Catholicism and marriage to a Roman Catholic caused a tragic family schism, and it was not until long after his father's death that he was at last able to find intellectual equilibrium.
