Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we really run organizations without leaders? Yes, says organizational consultant Jeffery Nielson in this provocative book. According to Nielsen, it’s time to stop structuring businesses as “rank-based” organizations run by a privileged elite who are so isolated from the front lines that they are downright counterproductive. Debunking the leadership myth, Nielsen calls for an end to leader-based corporate hierarchies, which foster secrecy, encourage miscommunication, and steal the joy and dignity from work. His new paradigm is the “peer-based” organization. No matter how you feel about Nielsen’s theory of leaderless organizations, you are sure to find this book thought provoking. It will challenge your assumptions about the role of leadership in modern organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned author/illustrator of the Popularity Papers series, Amy Ignatow, comes the first installment in a new series about a diverse crew of middle school kids who develop very limited superhero powers after a strange accident and manage to become unlikely friends on the adventure of a lifetime. When a sweet nerd, an artsy cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most popular girl in school are involved in a mysterious bus accident, this seemingly random group of kids starts to notice some very strange abilities they did not have before. Artsy Martina can change her eye color. Nerdy Nick can teleport . . . four inches to the left. Outcast Farshad develops super strength, but only in his thumbs. And Cookie, the It Girl of school’s most popular clique, has suddenly developed the ability to read minds . . . when those minds are thinking about directions. They are oddly mighty—especially together. This group—who would never hang out under normal circumstances—must now combine all of their strengths to figure out what happened during the bus accident. With alternating narratives from each of the heroes, including illustrated pieces from Martina, and featuring bold female superheroes and a multicultural cast, The Mighty Odds is The Breakfast Club for a new generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book A Word With You My Journal Through The Bible written by Al Lowry and published by Eric Elder Ministries. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wanted to read through the entire Bible? You can! Join Al Lowry as he reads through the Bible in a year using this Daily Bible Reading Guide. Each daily reading is accompanied by a few words from Al to gently nudge you to do what he once thought was impossible—to read through the most important book ever written. FROM THE INTRODUCTION I began writing this journal 9 years ago when a friend told me of a “Guilt-Free” reading plan that went through the entire Bible. He explained that the principle was to just take time to read or listen to that day’s passage— and if you miss a few days, to skip ahead to the current day’s reading. He said people will read through more of the Bible this way than if they stop part way for lack of “keeping up.” Then they can read it again the next year and pick up the passages they missed the first time around. I responded I just might be the poster child for quitting, as I would start well many a January, only to fall hopelessly away when tedious books like Numbers, Leviticus or Deuteronomy would sideline me in the first quarter. Then he challenged me in a very big way. He had one of the first online ministries called, “The Ranch,” at theranch.org. I read about it in USA Today and through a set of rather unusual circumstances, we became connected as good friends. He suggested I invite readers to follow along with me, and that 1st day of the year, I introduced a Facebook page with that very purpose. He gave me an invitation to include my plan in one of his online sermons and put out an open invitation to whoever might be inclined to join me. About 450 people signed up, and that set me on course with a lot of accountability partners with whom I would share a devotional each day. At the end of that year, I could not believe I’d finally accomplished this challenge of reading Genesis through Revelation. So what next—just be done with it? I decided to do it again the next year, and the next, and the next… I believe God has a sense of humor and turned me into the Forrest Gump of Bible reading. (Remember how he kept running back-and-forth across the country?) I mentioned we started with about 450 in our Facebook group the first year and now there are over 1500. This year, I decided to put the devotionals in book form so readers would have the option to join me online or by paperback. Regardless of your own motivation to read the Bible, I sure would be privileged to walk by your side. The goal is still the same as when we started—to grow in our faith by reading through as much of the Bible as we can. Hopefully, my light commentaries can give you that gentle nudge that helps you also do what I felt was impossible—to read the Bible in its entirety.
