Book excerpt: What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand? So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised? Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes. Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers. "Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!" --Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer

Download or read book The Particulars of Rapture written by Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avivah Zornberg grew up in a world of rabbinic tradition and scholarship and received a Ph.D. in English literature from Cambridge University. The Particulars of Rapture, the sequel to her award-winning study of the Book of Genesis, takes its title from a line by the American poet Wallace Stevens about the interdependence of opposite things, such as male and female, and conscious and unconscious. To her reading of the familiar story of the Israelites and their flight from slavery in Egypt, Avivah Zornberg has brought a vast range of classical Jewish interpretations and Midrashic sources, literary allusions, and ideas from philosophy and psychology. Her quest in this book, as she writes in the introduction, is "to find those who will hear with me a particular idiom of redemption," who will hear "within the particulars of rapture . . . what cannot be expressed." Zornberg's previous book, The Beginning of Desire: Reflections on Genesis, won the National Jewish Book Award for nonfiction in 1995 and has become a classic among readers of all religions. The Particulars of Rapture will enhance Zornberg's reputation as one of today's most original and compelling interpreters of the biblical and rabbinic traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A novel, intriguing—and more importantly—highly instructive approach enabling us to truly grasp fundamental management principles. In the person of Dwight Eisenhower planning and executing the D-Day landings and the subsequent liberation of Europe, these basic concepts are vividly brought to life. As Loftus rightly observes, no CEO ever faced a more daunting, pressure-filled, obstacle-laden mission than did Ike. Perfect reading for these turbulent times.” —Steve Forbes, Chairman & CEO, Forbes Media “Geoff Loftus has written an intriguing and highly useful book on Dwight Eisenhower’s extraordinary ability as a leader. If you liked Ike before, you’ll like him even more now. And you’ll be grateful to Geoff Loftus.” —Christopher Buckley, author of Boomsday and Thank You for Smoking “In Lead Like Ike, Geoff Loftus provides keen insights on management lessons drawn from one of the greatest battlefields in military history. The lessons may appear simple, but it’s the simplest management principles that we often forget: Listen to your people. Set your vision. Be consistent about your message. Let your managers manage.” —Salvatore J. Vitale, Senior Vice President, The Conference Board Who was the greatest CEO of the 20th century? A persuasive case can be made for General Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, who undertook history’s most harrowing executive assignment: Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe on June 6, 1944. In Lead Like Ike, business journalist and communications guru Geoff Loftus weaves a fly on-the-wall narrative from Ike’s perspective as supreme allied commander overseeing the Normandy invasion. While swept into a gripping story that honors the sacrifice of all who fought and died on D-Day, you’ll also be drawn to a cache of battle-tested strategies and tactics with direct applications to modern-day business leadership.

Download or read book The Exodus written by Linda Smith and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Exodus: Leaving Egypt Behind" is a Bible Study book written in a simple language that is easy to understand. It is complete with question and answer sections per chapter. It is written in "blocks of time," so when the reader completes the study, he or she has a good idea of where it fits into the Bible chronologically, as well as to know the story itself. This story begins with Abraham, because he was chosen by God to depart from his ancestor's land called UR of the Chaldeans, and leave his family as well. He was to begin life anew in a land called Canaan. This multigenerational story encompasses parts of the first six chapters of the Bible and allows the reader to follow those who became the Israelites along the path which lead them to the Promise land. In the account of the Exodus it is important to know who the slaves were in Egypt, how and why they arrived there, and what happened to make them want to leave. Included therein are introductions to Bible Greats such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and his brother Aaron, and finally Joshua and Caleb as they led the Israelites the final steps of the way into the Promise Land. You will know where the term "Israelites" stemmed from, and know how and why they became the Tribes of Israel. Also as part of the text is the story of Joseph being sold by his very own brothers into slavery in Egypt. You will see how Joseph becomes their liberator from the horrendous famine during that time in history. Learn about the celebration called Passover, and the plagues sent upon Egypt in attempts to get Pharaoh to "Let My People Go." There were the laws to be digested at Mount Sinai where they learned about God and sacrificial offerings to be made unto Him. It was here on this mountain that Moses received the Ten Commandments and the instructions for building a Tabernacle...a place of worship that would be carried with them into the wilderness as they traveled. You will see how God lead them on their journey by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. You will learn that the Israelites were not always comfortable on this trek. They complained about the manna which fell upon the grass each morning and composed their diet. God miraculously sent for them quail to eat as they tired of their mundane diet called "Bread from Heaven." There were times the travelers wanted to give up and return to Egypt because of the difficulty of the journey. There were battles to fight along the way, of which many were hard and harsh. The fascinating battle of Jericho Is a part of this study. The Israelites fought their way across Canaan, but were not able to rid the land of all the less than desirable tribes settled there as the Lord wanted them to do. Even so, the lands were divided between the Tribes of Israel, each getting a section to call their own. The Promise Land was finally claimed and divided, and God's favored people were home at last.

Download or read book Hope in Times of Fear written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Download or read book The Great Apostasy written by James Edward Talmage and published by Binker North. This book was released on 1909 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History is a 1909 book by James E. Talmage that summarizes the Great Apostasy, Mormon doctrine, from the viewpoint of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage wrote his book with the intention that it be used as a teaching tool within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The book is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History. Both writers borrowed heavily from the writings of Protestant scholars who argued that Roman Catholicism had apostatized from true Christianity. Talmage's book has been described as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint views of the Great Apostasy.
