Download or read book Living in a Zoo written by Brenda Lancaster and published by . This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This zany, new study from God's Word, broken into two six-week sessions, will help equip women of all ages to be the women, wives, and moms they were intended to be. Author Brenda Lancaster invites women to take a break from their "zoo" of a life and learn how to apply godly truths in a practical manner. Lancaster's study encourages daily Bible reading, thought-provoking questions and insight into scripture written specifically for women. The daily action assignments guarantee you will not be bored! For the past 19 years, Lancaster has been sharing the lessons God has taught her as she struggled to be the woman God wanted her to be. As a member of Life Community Church (formerly known as Hunter Hills Baptist Church) she has served with enthusiasm as Bible Study coordinator, Sunday School Teacher, and a variety of leadership positions in Ladies Ministry. After answering God's specific call on her life, she founded ZooKeepers Ministries in 2002, a Titus 2 based ministry dedicated to teaching and ministering to young women. She also partners and teaches with Life Renewal Ministries and Center Cross Creative Ministries Conferences in the area of leadership and discipleship training. She is a graduate of the Proverbs 31 Ministries' 2003 She Speaks, speakers and writers conference. Since 1999 Brenda has been guest speaker for various ladies conferences, retreats, and special events. As Brenda Lancaster's pastor and friend it gives me great joy to recommend Brenda as a gifted writer, creative teacher, and captivating speaker who conveys truth, forged in the fires of every day life in a humorous, relevant, and memorable way. I've known Brenda for many years and found her to be a good steward ofall God has given her, a faithful servant who is determined to build God's Kingdom, and a serious soul winner, sharing her faith and leading many into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Brenda is an active, faithful member of Life Community Church. God has given her a unique and very effective Bible study that was not only offered here, but was one of the most effective, life-changing Bible studies our ladies have experienced in some time. Not only was there enthusiasm, excitement, and a record attendance, but numerous testimonies of the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Brenda has encouraged, inspired, and mentored many young ladies in our church family through small group Bible studies, seminars, and various ladies ministries. I highly recommend Brenda and the ministry God has given her. She will honor our Lord and build His Kingdom. --Jake Thornhill, Jr. Senior Pastor Life Community Church Greensboro, NC "Brenda Lancaster has produced some powerful, lucid, and remarkable insightful material for families and women in particular. Her teachings are biblical, relevant, and desperately needed in today's families. Not only should every woman, mother, husband, and father study Brenda's material, but so should every pastor. A pastor's ministry would be far richer if he preached the content of these study guides to his people. This teaching on the family and womanhood is not like so much on the market today. This is not a gushy mess of sentimental fluffy filler. It is solid biblical meat with spiritual depth. It is some of the best material on the subject I have seen in over forty years of ministry." --Dr Michael K. Moore Founder - Life Renewal Ministries, Inc. Kure Beach, NC

Download or read book We Bought a Zoo written by Benjamin Mee and published by Weinstein Books. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable true story of a family who move into a rundown zoo-already a BBC documentary miniseries and excerpted in The Guardian. In the market for a house and an adventure, Benjamin Mee moved his family to an unlikely new home: a dilapidated zoo in the English countryside. Mee had a dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy. But in 2006, Mee and his wife with their two children, his brother, and his 76-year-old mother moved into the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Their extended family now included: Solomon, an African lion and scourge of the local golf course; Zak, the rickety Alpha wolf, a broadly benevolent dictator clinging to power; Ronnie, a Brazilian tapir, easily capable of killing a man, but hopelessly soppy; and Sovereign, a jaguar and would-be ninja, who has devised a long term escape plan and implemented it. Nothing was easy, given the family's lack of experience as zookeepers, and what follows is a magical exploration of the mysteries of the animal kingdom, the power of family, and the triumph of hope over tragedy. We Bought a Zoo is a profoundly moving portrait of an unforgettable family living in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Download or read book Methuselah s Zoo written by Steven N. Austad and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of long-lived animal species—from thousand-year-old tubeworms to 400-year-old sharks—and what they might teach us about human health and longevity. Opossums in the wild don’t make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years (spending most of them underground). Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh’s Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea, including quahogs, carp, and dolphins. Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we’re more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?

Download or read book The Cosmic Zoo written by Dirk Schulze-Makuch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are humans a galactic oddity, or will complex life with human abilities develop on planets with environments that remain habitable for long enough? In a clear, jargon-free style, two leading researchers in the burgeoning field of astrobiology critically examine the major evolutionary steps that led us from the distant origins of life to the technologically advanced species we are today. Are the key events that took life from simple cells to astronauts unique occurrences that would be unlikely to occur on other planets? By focusing on what life does - it's functional abilities - rather than specific biochemistry or anatomy, the authors provide plausible answers to this question. Systematically exploring the various pathways that led to the complex biosphere we experience on planet Earth, they show that most of the steps along that path are likely to occur on any world hosting life, with only two exceptions: One is the origin of life itself – if this is a highly improbable event, then we live in a rather “empty universe”. However, if this isn’t the case, we inevitably live in a universe containing a myriad of planets hosting complex as well as microbial life - a “cosmic zoo”. The other unknown is the rise of technologically advanced beings, as exemplified on Earth by humans. Only one technological species has emerged in the roughly 4 billion years life has existed on Earth, and we don’t know of any other technological species elsewhere. If technological intelligence is a rare, almost unique feature of Earth's history, then there can be no visitors to the cosmic zoo other than ourselves. Schulze-Makuch and Bains take the reader through the history of life on Earth, laying out a consistent and straightforward framework for understanding why we should think that advanced, complex life exists on planets other than Earth. They provide a unique perspective on the question that puzzled the human species for centuries: are we alone?
