Download or read book Common Sense Business written by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Has the potential to transform how all companies are run…Nothing could be more valuable!”—Mark Drewell, CEO, Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) From two of the world’s most successful business leaders comes Common-Sense Business—an accessible, actionable guide to better leadership, increased profits, and a more sustainable economic model predicated on prudence and socially conscious business. Common sense and prudence have long been among the guiding tenets of society, but in today’s economy they have been completely abandoned in the interest of blindly maximizing profits. Common-Sense Business shows that this current economic model is both detrimental and unsustainable, and that we must transform the global economy along the lines of common sense toward the common good. Ted Malloch, a thought leader and policy influencer in global economic strategy, and Whitney MacMillan, the former chairman and CEO of the world’s largest private corporation, draw on recent research, history’s greatest minds, and their own successes to explain that ethically driven business is both a moral and financial necessity. Inspired by Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, this work explains to readers in all walks of life that ethically driven business will lead to better long-term profits, larger customer bases and more positive customer relations, and a holistically improved business. This book is a must-read for business owners, entrepreneurs, students, and businessmen and women in all sectors of the economy.

Download or read book The Fellowship written by Philip Zaleski and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis is the 20th century's most widely read Christian writer and J.R.R. Tolkien its most beloved mythmaker. For three decades, they and their closest associates formed a literary club known as the Inklings, which met every week in Lewis's Oxford rooms and in nearby pubs. They discussed literature, religion, and ideas; read aloud from works in progress; took philosophical rambles in woods and fields; gave one another companionship and criticism; and, in the process, rewrote the cultural history of modern times. In The Fellowship, Philip and Carol Zaleski offer the first complete rendering of the Inklings' lives and works. The result is an extraordinary account of the ideas, affections and vexations that drove the group's most significant members. C. S. Lewis accepts Jesus Christ while riding in the sidecar of his brother's motorcycle, maps the medieval and Renaissance mind, becomes a world-famous evangelist and moral satirist, and creates new forms of religiously attuned fiction while wrestling with personal crises. J.R.R. Tolkien transmutes an invented mythology into gripping story in The Lord of the Rings, while conducting groundbreaking Old English scholarship and elucidating, for family and friends, the Catholic teachings at the heart of his vision. Owen Barfield, a philosopher for whom language is the key to all mysteries, becomes Lewis's favorite sparring partner, and, for a time, Saul Bellow's chosen guru. And Charles Williams, poet, author of "supernatural shockers," and strange acolyte of romantic love, turns his everyday life into a mystical pageant. Romantics who scorned rebellion, fantasists who prized reality, wartime writers who believed in hope, Christians with cosmic reach, the Inklings sought to revitalize literature and faith in the twentieth century's darkest years-and did so in dazzling style.
Download or read book The Inklings of Oxford written by Harry Lee Poe and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford’s fabled streets echo with the names of such key figures in English history as Edmund Halley, John Wycliffe, and John and Charles Wesley. Of more recent times are those of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the other members of the renowned literary circle to which they belonged, the Inklings. What would it be like to walk this medieval city’s narrow lanes in the company of such giants of Christian literature, to visit Magdalen College, where Lewis and Tolkien read aloud their works-in-progress to their friends, or the Eagle and Child pub, the Inklings’ favorite gathering place? The lavish photography of this book will introduce you to the fascinating world of the Inklings, matching their words to the places where these friends discussed—and argued over—theology, philosophy, ancient Norse myth, and Old Icelandic, while writing stories that were to become classics of the faith. The Inklings of Oxford will deepen your knowledge of and appreciation for this unique set of personalities. The book also features a helpful map section for taking walking tours of Oxford University and its environs.

Download or read book Bone China Girls written by Kori Frazier Morgan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 26, 1965, the body of sixteen-year-old Sylvia Likens was found in a ramshackle house in an Indianapolis neighborhood. Left in the care of Gertrude Baniszewski, an ailing, middle aged housewife, while her parents traveled as carnival workers, Sylvia became the target of unspeakable abuse and torture at the hands of Gertrude and her children. Approaching the Likens case as a crime against a young woman by women, Morgan uses persona poetry to explore the points of view of the female players in the event, from Sylvia and her sister, Jenny, to Gertrude and her daughters, Paula, Stephanie, and Shirley. Full of surprising revelation and use of form and language, Bone China Girls is a disturbing portrayal of what causes women - particularly young women - to victimize each other, as well as why Likens' murder continues to bear relevance fifty years later.
Download or read book Oh Baby written by Kathy Fray and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much-recommended by new mothers, this is the only book you'll need for the best baby advice. Now completely revised and updated. Refreshingly honest, openly frank and candidly blunt, this book has been written by a mother (who is also an experienced midwife) for other mothers. It oozes warm fuzzies, exudes realism in every paragraph and is refreshing in its guiltless honesty. Modern first-time mothers are often alone - devoid of once-traditional motherhood knowledge and practical support. Often previously self-confident women find themselves isolated, fumbling over everyday mothering tasks, enduring sleep deprivation, feeling desperately despondent - and aching and leaking everywhere. This book provides supportive, caring advice - one mum to another - while at the same time serving as an encyclopaedic medical reference regarding the mother and baby. Checked thoroughly by medical professionals, this book is a unique blend, like having access to a kind and gentle GP as well as to all the gems of wisdom of years of mothers' coffee groups. This title clearly and compassionately explains the ups as well as the downs which are perfectly normal aspects of giving birth and mothering in today's society.

Download or read book Women and C S Lewis written by Carolyn Curtis and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexism in Narnia? Or Screwtape? Or amongst the Inklings? Many critics have labelled C.S. Lewis a sexist, even a misogynist. Did the life and writing of the hugely popular author and professor betray attitudes that today are unacceptable, even deplorable? The younger Lewis was criticized for a mysterious living arrangement with a woman, but his later marriage to an American poet, Joy Davidman, became a celebrated love story. As a writer he, along with J.R.R. Tolkien, formed a legendary literary group, the Inklings - but without women. In this collection of short essays, opinion pieces, and interviews, academics and writers come together to investigate these accusations. They include Alister McGrath, Randy Alcorn, Monika Hilder, Don W. King, Kathy Keller, Colin Duriez, Crystal Hurd, Jeanette Sears, David C. Downing, Malcolm Guite, and Holly Ordway. The resulting work, Women and C.S. Lewis, provides broad and satisfying answers.

Book excerpt: For parents who are devoutly religious they can feel safe in God’s will, and for parents who are devotedly new-age they can feel secure in the Universe’s plans.

So OH GOD is about imbuing our Alpha Generation-Z children with the insightful Cosmopolitan IQ and Old-Age New-Age IQ of understanding the beliefs of others – so that our children can become more intelligently equipped to live in this exponentially expanding multi-cultural multi-religious society. It’s about teaching our children the societal intelligences that no-one ever taught us. But this book won’t be for everyone – oh no, this will be for those select parents who find themselves irresistibly drawn to delving more deeply into these topics. OH GOD will be for the hardcore amongst parents!
