Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GET ALIGNED WITH YOUR SPOUSE, PLAN YOUR SECOND HALF TOGETHER Halftime for Couples is a roadmap for creating an intimate adventure together. “Halftime” is the season when couples look back and take stock, look forward and dream—then chart a new course together as a couple. It’s about moving beyond success to pursue significance. With author Lloyd Reeb’s guided reflection in this book, your halftime as a couple can be packed with fun, growth, and deep fulfillment. But living a life of significance always involves risk and sacrifice, and it’s not for the faint of heart. When you face real fears and obstacles on your path of God’s calling, you are drawn closer together. As you look back on those steps of faith, you see where God has worked, allowing you to partner with Him—together. Lloyd Reeb, Founding Partner at the Halftime Institute, has spent more than 10,000 hours helping leaders wrestle with powerful questions, dream beyond their limits, and craft roadmaps to live out those dreams. But—he did it alongside his wife, Linda, supporting her calling too. Out of their experience of journeying together during their own halftime season, Lloyd and Linda Reeb have created a practical guide for couples who want to plan their second half together. “The richest component of a significance-filled ‘second half’ is sharing the journey with those you love. Resist the temptation to head into your second half alone by excluding your spouse. Halftime for Couples is an essential interactive guide for couples who want to finish well together.” —BOB BUFORD, best-selling author of Halftime: From Success to Significance Linda and Lloyd Reeb have been married over thirty years. They enjoy living near Charlotte, North Carolina, and have three grown children. LINDA REEB was a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dental assistant during her first half. After exploring her calling and realizing her passion to encourage moms with young children, she founded MomsMentoring, and today, that is her primary occupation. LLOYD REEB spent his first half as a real estate developer and investor. For over twenty years, Lloyd has taken the halftime message around the world with the Halftime Institute, speaking, leading, and coaching individuals through midlife transition. Lloyd is the author of several books, including From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, The Second Half, and Finally Connected.

In From Success to Significance, he unfolds a blueprint that has helped thousands of men and women redefine success and infuse their lives with eternal significance.

Your talents, your drives, and everything you are will make sense in a new way and have an impact you’ve never dreamed of. Go ahead, start dreaming.

An increasing number of American Christians are frustrated. Even as they read their Bibles, listen to sermons, and hang out with other Christians, they become painfully aware that something is missing: joy. As a result, many have given up on their faith being a source of joy, and instead they seek meaning, purpose, and joy through their Christian service, work, relationships, hobbies, possessions, or even more destructive and hollow substitutes. The Joy Model offers a better way, showing readers that joy comes from balancing the practical and spiritual sides of our lives—the “Doing” and the “Being” of the Christian life. Jeff Spadafora reveals a plan to uncover significant increases in joy, including: tried and true disciplines to engage God practically a blueprint to move from knowing about God to actually experiencing him practical steps to let our new understanding of God transform relationships, attitudes, finances, service, and work

Download or read book Future Man written by Tim Samuels and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sharply intelligent, explosively honest, and laugh-out-loud funny look at the state of masculinity and how to be a man, for fans of Jon Ronson and Matt Haig. If ever there was an urgent need for a frank understanding of what's going on with men, it is now. Male rage and frustration have driven resurgent populism, mass shootings, and epidemics of addiction and violence. Powerful men who have abused their positions for decades have been and are being #MeToo–outed and dismissed. The patriarchy, that solid bedrock of male power for thousands of years, seems to be crumbling. In Future Man, with his characteristic intelligence and humor, Tim Samuels assesses the state of contemporary manhood, its conflicts, confusions, and challenges. Trapped in bodies barely changed since cavemen days, men are contending with the stresses of corporate culture, lifelong commitment, rampant depression, and crazy expectations to be successful at work and at home. But how can you hunt and gather in an open-plan office? Why do men make up to 95 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs yet 93 percent of the prison population? Why do men commit suicide at more than three times the rate of women? Drawing on his own experience and reporting, Samuels addresses such topics as dating, aging, fatherhood, porn, violence, mental health, and the trouble with monogamy as well as issues related to toxic masculinity, the man box, gender roles, and role models. The American edition has been updated and includes a new preface.

Book excerpt: Married for nearly 38 years, author Deborah DeArmond and her husband have made the spoken declaration, “I choose you today” a regular part of their communication. It’s when we least feel like saying it that we need to remind ourselves that love is a choice, not a feeling. I Choose You Today features 31 scriptural principles that support marriage and help couples develop healthy biblically based behavior. Built on an introductory anecdotal story, each chapter has an inspirational takeaway of not only what to do, but how to begin applying the principles immediately. Thought provoking questions create talking points for couples to explore their own choices and experiences in each area serve to generate open dialogue of discovery. I Choose You Today is not a book of "shoulds," but one of clearly identified choices that each individual can make to grow their marriage and align it with the word of God. Every saying ends with a conventional wisdom quote.
Download or read book Childless by Marriage written by Sue Fagalde Lick and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First you marry a man who does not want children. He cheats and you divorce him. Then you marry the love of your life and find out he does not want to have children with you either. The three he has are more than enough. Although you always wanted to be a mother, you decide he is worth the sacrifice, expecting to have a long happy life together. But that's not what happens. This is the story of how a woman becomes childless by marriage and how it affects every aspect of her life. This is the book of my heart, the one I had to write. Ever since I realized I was not going to have children, I have felt recurring grief and an emptiness in my heart. I am different from most women, but I have found that I am not alone. There are many of us childless women, and I think it's important to share our stories about what it's like when you don't have children in a world where most girls grow up to become mothers. I hope this book offers comfort to those who are childless and understanding to those who are not. If it makes you smile here and there, even better.
