Download or read book The Gospel at Work written by Sebastian Traeger and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

Download or read book Work the System written by Sam Carpenter and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Simple Mindset Tweak Will Change Your Life. After a fifteen-year nightmare operating a stagnant service business, Sam Carpenter developed a down-to-earth methodology that knocked his routine eighty-hour workweek down to a single hour—while multiplying his bottom-line income more than twenty-fold. In Work the System, Carpenter reveals a profound insight and the exact uncomplicated, mechanical steps he took to turn his business and life around without turning it upside down. Once you “get” this new vision, success and serenity will come quickly. You will learn to: • Make a simple perception adjustment that will change your life forever. • See your world as a logical collection of linear systems that you can control. • Manage the systems that produce results in your business and your life. • Stop fire-killing. Become a fire-control specialist! • Maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop enthusiastic employees who respect you. • Identify insidious “errors of omission.” • Maximize your biological and mechanical “prime time” so that you are working at optimum efficiency. • Design the life you want—and then, in the real world, quickly create it! You can keep doing what you have always done, and continue getting mediocre, unsatisfactory results. Or you can find the peace and freedom you’ve always wanted by transforming your business or corporate department into a finely tuned machine that runs on autopilot!

Book excerpt: Industrial ethylene oxide (EtO) is among the top 3% of high-vol. chemicals produced in the U.S. Industry has long recognized the value of safe, effective, & efficient sterilization using EtO.

They remove or destroy small amounts of EtO remaining in a vent stream through oxidation or burning. The EtO concentration in the vent stream must remain well below the flammable or explosive range because OECDs provide a source of ignition that could trigger an explosion in the vent system. This report explains this problem & makes recommendations for protecting workers.

This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calif¿s. info. tech. (IT) industry is both the state¿s leading manufacturing sector & its leading export sector. Exports from this sector grew rapidly between 1997 & 2000 but then declined for both the state & the U.S. through 2003 -- in Calif¿s. case, a decline of $25 billion, or 42%, from the 2000 peak. This report documents the changing pattern of Calif¿s. manufactured IT exports during the recent boom & bust period. Much of the drop between 2000 & 2003 stemmed from lower purchases of Calif. commodities worldwide, but declining prices for commodities exported from Calif. also contributed. The vast majority of the steep drop-off in California¿s share of the U.S. total stemmed from a redirection of purchases away from Calif. to other states. Illus.

Book excerpt: In the second qtr. of 2007, the share of outstanding mortg. in some stage of foreclosure (FC) stood at 1.4%, up from less than 1% a year earlier. The number of mortg. entering the FC process reached an all-time high in mid-2007. The FC surge was created by a perfect storm of events. First, the share of sub-prime mortg. originations increased. Second, FC rates for adjustable-rate mortg. (ARMs) have increased, esp. for sub-prime ARMs. Finally, high loan-to-value originations, coupled with stagnant or falling home prices, have left many people with insufficient equity to sell or to refinance their homes. Here is a dissection of the current FC surge. Discusses why the FC situation is likely to get worse over the next 2-3 years & why it is likely to improve afterward. Illus.
