Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weasels in the workplace, colleagues in crisis, and bombastic bosses—we all know what it is like to have a “job from hell.” We also know that, despite our industriousness and integrity, many of us will someday have to choose between groceries, health care, and heating the apartment. The nuns who taught me in grade school said that all work, regardless of skills or status, was a ministry. By our helpfulness and kindness on the job, we contributed to the common good. Oh, to have those nuns in charge today! Our sense of social responsibility is eroding as the gap between the super-rich and everyone else grows, and as the rhetoric of leaders that is supposed to heal, deepen our humanity, and unite us is mean, shallow, and divisive. What are the spiritual to do in this material world, where social Darwinism and faith in God are joined at the hip? This book is about putting spirituality to work at work. It is about using spirituality to help us be in toxic places and not become toxic. It explores strategies for maintaining our humanity and moral compass, and it illuminates choices, prompts deep personal reflection, and chases demons from cubicles with humor.

Download or read book Samara written by Godwin Djietror, and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a Christian family whose life circumstances and experiences illustrate the will of God and the power of prayer. Walter Robertson (affectionately called Walt) and his wife, Rebecca, lived in Joshland, a prairie community. Walt strove to live his life as a devout Christian but on occasion, he doubted the existence of God, backslid, and questioned God's attributes. Rebecca, on the other hand, demonstrated unwavering faith in God. In 1945, a tornado tore down their riverfront home and carried off their baby girl, Samara. A woman found the infant and decided to keep it for herself. Growing up as Margaret and fatherless, Samara was told that her daddy had fallen off his sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico and drowned. In a miraculous twist of events, Rebecca and Walt ended up as the first clients in Margaret's retired couples' housing facility. Eight months after moving in, Rebecca was seen in the ER for a voiding problem. A few days later, she went with Walt to see her primary care physician to discuss the results of an investigative lab work. The doctor broke bad news. She had failing kidneys and required immediate transplant. She would be placed on the waiting list for a donor. The couple shared the unpleasant news with Margaret and asked for her support in prayers. Rebecca knew what she faced: too little time to wait for her turn on the deceased donor waiting list. Amid the seeming hopelessness, Margaret stunned the couple with her offer to donate a kidney. She said a prayer of gratitude in her heart for the privilege to help, little knowing that she was, in fact, thanking God for using her to save the life of her biological mother!

Download or read book The May Beetles written by Baba Schwartz and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baba Schwartz’s story began before the Holocaust could have been imagined. As a spirited girl in a warm and loving Jewish family, she lived a normal life in a small town in eastern Hungary. In The May Beetles, Baba describes the innocence and excitement of her childhood, remembering her early years with verve and emotion. But then, unspeakable horror. Baba tells of the shattering of her family and their community from 1944, when the Germans transported the 3000 Jews of her town to Auschwitz. She lost her father to the gas chambers, yet she, her mother and her two sisters survived this concentration camp and several others to which they were transported as slave labour. They eventually escaped the final death march and were liberated by the advancing Russian army. But despite the suffering, Baba writes about this period with the same directness, freshness and honesty as she writes about her childhood. Full of love amid hatred, hope amid despair, The May Beetles is sure to touch your heart. ‘Put down whatever you are reading and read this book. Baba, a charming, gifted and lively young companion, will take you back to a luminous childhood in Hungary before the war, will show you the darkening, and finally lead you to the gates of Hell. The human perversity on the other side of those gates remains incomprehensible, impenetrable to reason. But what Baba and her family embody – their antidote – is the durability of ordinary love.’ —Robyn Davidson ‘Told with the tempered calm of a born writer, Baba Schwartz’s memoir evokes the world of a Jewish Hungarian childhood, and brings us one of the great survival stories of the Second World War.’ —Joan London ‘A calmly personal account of a mighty cataclysm; astonishing in its dignity and composure, unforgettable in its sweetness of tone’ —Helen Garner ‘This book is testament to two miracles. First, of Baba’s survival. And second, of the survival within her of the girl - now an old woman - who nevertheless perceives the world, utterly without sentiment, as a place of “inexhaustible sources of delight”. An important document of witness, survival and the quiet triumph of loving life despite what it has shown you.’ —Anna Funder ‘“Never again” was the promise. But are parents, politicians and teachers making sure this promise is kept? Reading and discussing The May Beetles and other equally fine and compelling recollections of the Holocaust, are powerful and immediate ways of honouring this promise.’ —Agnes Nieuwenhuizen, Weekend Australian ‘Her memory is astonishing and from the point of a reader, in its nuance and recall of detail, this makes the story utterly trustworthy throughout ... Baba’s love of life shines through at every moment.’ —Robert Manne ‘This story is full of genuinely heart-stopping moments – compulsive reading, especially towards the end’ —Australian Book Review ‘Baba Schwartz’s clean, classical style – she is a natural – is matched by the poise with which she relates her tale: almost in the way a novelist observes a character - A superior memoir.’ —Pick of the Week, The Age

Download or read book From Cloisters to Cubicles written by David Srygley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have tried; many have failed. Spiritual disciplines, meant to strengthen and encourage Christian living, have become a source of frustration and disillusionment for many Christians. Many of the books available are steeped in mysticism, monasticism, and non-biblical language. It doesnt take long for a Christian to begin thinking spiritual disciplines are so heavenly focused that they are no earthly good. From Cloisters to Cubicles redefines spirituality, spiritual disciplines, and Christian maturity in such a way that any Christian can understand, practice, and grow through the practice of spiritual disciplines. Instead of spiritual disciplines being focused on strengthening just the spiritual dimension of life, they become exercises that strengthen ones everyday walk with God in this world. To accomplish this goal, spiritual disciplines must be understood as exercises in the reintegration of faith and life. They should help Christians appraise all things as spiritual beings (1 Cor. 2:15) and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). From Cloisters to Cubicles helps Christians bring the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit back into their daily lives. Christians can live in this world with all the power and wisdom meant for them as citizens of the kingdom of God. Christians really can have the kingdom life now! If you are a beginner it will give you a place to start. If you have already progressed from milk to meat it will provide a map for spiritual growth that can keep you absorbed for a lifetime.

Download or read book The Town in Bloom written by Dodie Smith and published by Corsair. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A determined young Lancashire girl arrives in London intent on a stage career - this tale from the author of I Capture the Castle is told with the candour and authenticity that derives from Dodie Smith's own experience of the theatre world. Mouse never did fully suit her nickname. Tiny she may have been, but timid never. After less than twenty-four hours in London she had bluffed her way into an audition at a famous theatre, infuriated its forceful young stage director, and amused its kind if quite amoral actor-manager. She had finally landed not a part but a toehold as a junior secretary. During her involvement in the engrossing affairs of the Crossway Theatre she met her friends Molly, a baby-faced six-footer; and elegant, ambitious Lilian, who was fated to clash disastrously with Mouse. Later, there was also Zelle, rich, generous, enigmatic, and responsible for an outing to Suffolk village pageant which proved a turning point for them all. Life was always surprising the fearless Mouse: when she unexpectedly got to a chance to act she made an unforgettable impression, though not the one she had intended. However, nothing prepared her for the assault of first love, highly unsuitable, but welcomed by her in a way which was to have far-reaching consequences. Only when she looks back after a reunion luncheon does she realise the full effects of that shared summer on her friends and herself. A startlingly frank yet nostalgic read, this is a charming novel about coming of age and the healing effects of time.

In Boaz, God provides Ruth with a loving husband to free and provide for her, pointing us to the Bible's grand story of redemption and David’s greatest son, Jesus. Tony Merida's compelling story-telling and Christ-centered insights make this both an accessible and absorbing expository guide to the book of Ruth.
