Download or read book Adam s Last Generation written by Ron Muir and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is real. It has and will happen. We know some of the names but not all. I think we will know them shortly. She shrieked with a joy only innocents have. Horse ran like the wind, carrying her easily on his back. Adam watched her long hair flowing behind her in the wind . . . and he loved her, more than life itself. He loved her so deeply that it caused him to ache in the depths of his very soul. This love story allows us to look into four great and pivotal times in the history of our world, exploring how the greatest gift we received from Father-our life-giving "Free Will"-ended up causing so much heartache to his innocent creation: you and I. God's holy mountain, the center of the Eden Garden, always was God's special place to enjoy his creation. The fall took place here. The cross took place here, as will the Great Religious wars of Megiddo. But I always wondered why there was another hateful rebellion against Father and his holy mountain at the end of Adam's Last Generation-the thousand years we know as the millennium period. Surely, with Jesus's return and all his enemies being destroyed in the Great Tribulation war and only the redeemed entering the New Eden for a thousand years of plenty, with death almost unknown, how could this happen? Why? The story of Adam's Last Generation tells us a lot about ourselves. This is a clear and simple story showing Father's magnificent and pure love for his children and the great lengths he will go to retrieve and protect them. Enjoy.

Book excerpt: Good things may come to those who wait, but trouble waits for no one… Cheating is a dealbreaker...or so Mandy has always thought. But when she catches her husband getting some “strange,” she realizes how hard it is to cut and run, or even file papers. She agrees to a month of counseling, which will give her time to grieve the loss of her marriage before she has to tell the world—and the kids. Then she meets Adam, who gives her a hunky, if mysterious, shoulder to cry on, and that thirty-day waiting period seems like an eternity. Adam has no problem confessing that he’s watched Mandy from his window for months as she runs by his house. If he told her why, though, she’d freak out for sure. He knows they’ve got a future together, if he can think of a way to explain his past. And he’s sure the rat-bastard who cheated on her is putting the moves on her again, but he won’t be the revenge guy. The month-long cooling off period she agreed to is lasting forever, and might just be indefinite, if trouble keeps getting in their way. CONTENT WARNING: Eccentric old lady pushing salt-of-the-earth advice, bossy big brother, kooky counselor, super-secretive hunk, and perfect justice served amidst adult situations and language.

Download or read book The Winning Factor written by Peter Jensen and published by AMACOM. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from his experience training both Olympic athletes and Fortune 500 executives, Peter Jensen explains how to apply world-class coaching practices to the everyday business realm and--most importantly--ignite for others the inner passion and resolve required to succeed. The Winning Factor does this by teaching readers how to manage themselves, build trust, use imagery, overcome blocks, and embrace diversity. You’ll also learn the secrets behind great communication and truly effective feedback and will gain insights on leadership from six Olympic coaches. By looking inward to create a developmental bias, you’ll be able to project leadership skills outward to help others grow. Olympic athletes don't get to the top simply because of athletic genes (nature) or determined parents (nurture). Top athletic performance depends on a crucial “Third Factor”--inner drive--and top coaches know how to inspire that drive. Packed with engaging stories and enlightening examples, The Winning Factor teaches managers everywhere how to lead their employees to gold-medal success.

Download or read book Life s Joy Killers and Joy Makers written by LaVon Koerner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ said, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11). A joy-filled person is the best advertisement Christ has for a joyless world to consider his loving offer of salvation. The second fruit of the Spirit (joy) makes one an inspirational and infectious person to be around, whether you are a marriage partner, a business leader, or a next-door neighbor. The way Christ wants to accomplish this in and for us is through his two-step process as outlined in Colossians 3: •Step One: “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you” (Col 3:5). We will refer to this as the removal of a Joy Killer. •Step Two: “Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge” (Col 3:10). We will refer to this as a Joy Maker. Each chapter is divided into these two steps. First, it begins with a removal of a Joy Killer and it is immediately followed with its replacement of a Joy Maker. With each chapter, you find an increasingly deep and rewarding joy as you pitch your tent one day closer to eternity.

Book excerpt: Adam and Sophie Dean's good-enough marriage could easily have lasted forever. But Adam succumbs to pressure from his mistress to leave Sophie, and in the course of his carefully prepared farewell speech, Sophie has a revelation: unless she leaves him in the family home in the role of primary caregiver, he'll have a severely diminished role in the lives of their two sons. So while Adam continues to live in the suburban house he despises-with his two children and his angry mistress, who'd never planned for this turn of events-Sophie sets out alone into an alluring new life nearby, close enough to see her sons every day, but far removed from her former life of domestic drudgery. As she and Adam grow into their new roles, they discover what it actually means to act in their children's best interests, and that the end of a marriage can be a beginning.

Nicky O’Hare, a promising freshman recruited to the Tampa Bay University swim team, shows promise both in and out of the pool. The lean Irish kid with the ‘boy-next-door’ good looks from Brandy, South Dakota, is likely the most talented swimmer on the team. Ready to experience all that college life offers, Nicky has even put finding a boyfriend on his wish list. Coach Phillip Silva, a former Olympic swimmer with a once-impressive swimming career, has recruited Nicky to rebuild the University’s failing swim program. Focused on the upcoming season, Phillip’s real challenge will be keeping his secrets and demons submerged below the surface. All seems well until one night when Nicky and Phillip end up at the same Fourth of July celebration. With fireworks in the sky, the hot and humid night reveals the attraction between the two. But can these boundaries be crossed? Suddenly forced to reevaluate his life, Phillip is faced with the moral dilemma of discovering true love with the University’s rising star. Before Sunrise presents a story of friendships, love, complicated relationships, and deception woven into a hard-earned happily-ever-after. Bryan T. Clark, author of Ancient House of Cards, has again masterfully crafted a romance where the fine line between right and wrong must be resolved for love to survive.
