Download or read book Losers Like Us written by Daniel Hochhalter and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, after seven years of preparation, Daniel Hochhalter permanently failed his PhD, leaving him with no refunds, no transferable credits, no recourse to appeal or try again, and no hope of gaining the qualifications needed for his desired career. Then he lost his job. Devastated and in crisis, with no Plan B and no clue how to redeem his future, he looked to the twelve disciples and discovered that—despite their gaping faults and sins—God still loved them and used them to change the world. With fresh warmth and wisdom, ample hope and humor, Losers Like Us skillfully intertwines Dan’s own story with theirs to show how our worst mistakes and greatest failures bring us to a place of teachableness, egolessness, brokenness, and empathy—the very qualifications required to receive God’s love and grace, and to manifest his kingdom on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I felt enormous grief from how they treated me. I saw the other side of life: people, evil, strife. A joyful heart is good medicine but the traumatized become ugly as the system spirals down suddenly. They'd project a bad rep on me, act like they owned me, proceed to kill my spirit and take my liberty. Caught in projections without solution I went dead praying God would end it. They had no idea who I was nor could they ever. It was the Dunning-Kruger effect of the unclever. . Cover design by Karen Kellock, Inside art by Blaze Goldburst and Fox Design

Download or read book Health Money and Love And Why We Don t Enjoy Them written by Robert Farrar Capon and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1994-09-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. In this deliciously twisting, engaging, multi- genre narrative, Robert Farrar Capon explores three areas of life that concern us all — health, money, and love — pokes fun of the religions we make of them, and trumpets the radical gospel of grace, the only alternative that can free us to be truly happy. Using a variety of styles — movie script, dialogue, parable, letter, and, of course, his typically sparkling prose — Capon discusses religion and happiness in the light of "holy luck," the notion that God uses chance as his normal device for running the world and establishing his relationship with us. He argues that in espousing false religions such as health, money, and love in our pursuit of happiness, we reject God's holy luck for the illusion of our own control. "Happiness," he asserts, "lies in our ability to accept everything that happens and then either enjoy it gratefully or reconcile it patiently. We may not be able to control all of the things that happen outside us, but since we are in control of both our gratitude and our patience, there is always and in every circumstance a path open to the happiness that God already has over everything." Capon proceeds to explore and interweave the topics of childhood, romance, work, play, exercise and eating habits, aging, and death within his twin themes of religion and happiness. Blending his own experiences with ideas from a wide range of authorities, including Augustine, Dame Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart, Chesterton, and Charles Williams, he challenges us to rethink our conception of God, our values, and our entire lives. Full of provocative insights, Health, Money, and Love will surely attract, stir, and delight a wide readership.

Download or read book Humble Calvinism written by J.A. Medders and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Calvinism in our hearts as well as in our heads. Understanding Calvinism in our hearts as well as in our heads. Calvinism has an image problem. For far too long it has been synonymous with being argumentative, arrogant, and unloving. Somehow the doctrines of grace often haven't made those who believe them actually gracious. Self-confessed recovering, cranky Calvinist, Jeff Medders wonders whether the love of God has been replaced with the love of Calvinism. It's one thing having the "five points" all worked out in your head, but have they really penetrated your heart? His warm-hearted, challenging (and surprisingly witty) book reveals how a true understanding of "the five points" fuels a love of Christ and his people that builds others up, rather than tearing them down. Medders urges readers to be humble and gracious as well as zealous for the truth, to the praise and glory of Christ and his church.

Download or read book Born Losers written by Scott A. Sandage and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes somebody a Loser, a person doomed to unfulfilled dreams and humiliation? Nobody is born to lose, and yet failure embodies our worst fears. The Loser is our national bogeyman, and his history over the past two hundred years reveals the dark side of success, how economic striving reshaped the self and soul of America. From colonial days to the Columbine tragedy, Scott Sandage explores how failure evolved from a business loss into a personality deficit, from a career setback to a gauge of our self-worth. From hundreds of private diaries, family letters, business records, and even early credit reports, Sandage reconstructs the dramas of real-life Willy Lomans. He unearths their confessions and denials, foolish hopes and lost faith, sticking places and changing times. Dreamers, suckers, and nobodies come to life in the major scenes of American history, like the Civil War and the approach of big business, showing how the national quest for success remade the individual ordeal of failure. Born Losers is a pioneering work of American cultural history, which connects everyday attitudes and anxieties about failure to lofty ideals of individualism and salesmanship of self. Sandage's storytelling will resonate with all of us as it brings to life forgotten men and women who wrestled with The Loser--the label and the experience--in the days when American capitalism was building a nation of winners.

Download or read book The 15 Sins In Service Excellence written by Raghunath V. Reddy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 15 Sins in Manufacturing Excellence The Path To Overcome And Excel From the Authors’ desk..... To achieve excellence in their chosen field is a common dream of most professionals – including those in the manufacturing and service fields. But for most, this remains a dream. This is mainly because in today’s competitive world, few people are selfless enough to share their success formula with industry brethren and the corporate world at large – for fear of losing out on their own position in the marketplace. We have seen and heard of many fantastic ideas but unfortunately, very few great implementations. This book bridges that very gap between theory and execution. The 15 Sins in Manufacturing Excellence – The Path to Overcome and Excel, is our Grand Recipe that has been meticulously developed – based on our own ‘learning cycle’ over many years of industry experience – from grassroots to delivery of final end product and service. We ‘learned’ how, where and when to apply what we felt worked best for companies and employees. Through this book, our intention is to just share with you our own humble, yet challenging experiences that working life has taken us through. This book rests in the premise that if you get your basics right, follow the guidelines outlined herein and overcome the 15 sins enumerated; you are bound to have a Holistice, Systems Approach Roadmap of Proven Strategies for Growth, Peak Performance and Consistently Improving Results – with an added bonus of a checklist for your day-to-day operations! You will achieve Excellence in your Manufacturing Operations and exceed your own expectations...... It’s as simple as that!! It is a MUST read book for all – whether you are a fresh graduate entering the real world at large or someone who is already working in the industry – including, inter alia, Supervisors, Team Leaders, Monitors, Executives, managers, Directors, Vice Presidents, presidents and even the COO or the CEO of the company – in short, it encompasses every employee working for or running the organization. That’s the implicit power of this book!! Thank you.
