Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true-life story of a country boy, Reginald Stone, who started his life in a small town in Virginia. After moving to Washington, D.C. with his family, he attended a Billy Graham Crusade with a neighbor where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Reginald has always said, “he was never the same again.” After attending Bible College, Reginald pastored a small church for little pay. It was during this time that God led him to meet his wife, Rose, at a nearby camp meeting. In the beginning of their marriage, he worked both educational and ministerial jobs. It was at his first full-time pastoral position that God began to call both Reginal and Rose to Latin America. When they left the church and headed to Mexico to attend a Spanish school to learn the Spanish language, neither of them realized all that God had in store for them. Just learning the Spanish language took faith for Reginald. The adventures had only begun in Mexico. Uruguay and Peru had so much more in store for them with building new churches, many miracles of God, and even being hunted by terrorists. Every day required trusting God. After leaving South America, the ministry of this couple was not over. God had more churches to be pastored, organizations to be led, and ministry schools to be created and taught at. The Hispanics of United States of America was their new mission field. This book concludes with eleven lessons that Reginald learned while on the mission field. These lessons teach ministers and missionaries valuable lessons to know before entering the mission field which are both practical and thought-provoking. Laugh and shed tears as you walk through the life of Reginald and Rose as they follow God's plan for their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may think, with this book’s title, it’s about being calm and cool in the face of pressure. It’s actually quite the opposite and more literal. My body actually stopped sweating. This was one of a variety of unusual health issues I faced, partially or wholly brought on by stress. And I had to learn how to get my body to sweat again naturally as no pill or prescription was going to help me. My solution to this and other issues were going to come from within. With people becoming more aware about stress and its incredible health impacts, many of us have found that we can pay a hefty price if we ignore or don’t acknowledge it. And I believe it frequently goes undiagnosed in the medical community. This book is about my journey, one I think many of you can relate to. This is not about what I’ve overcome. It’s about what I’ve learned in the hope it can help others. In this book I will share you with my journey and the key lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Download or read book The Journey is Everything written by Katherine Bomer and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the electric, pulsating world around us, the essay lives a life of abandon, posing questions, speaking truths, fulfilling a need humans have to know what other humans think and wonder so we can feel less alone." -Katherine Bomer Sadly, many students only know "essay" as a 5-paragraph, tightly structured writing assignment that must check all the boxes of a standardized formula. How did essays in school get so far away from essays in the world? Katherine makes a powerful case for teaching the essay as a way to restore writing to think-that it is in fact necessary for students' success in college and career. "Essay helps students write flexibly, fluently, and with emboldened voices," she writes in The Journey Is Everything, "qualities they can translate into any assigned writing task in school or in life." She argues that the close reading of essays fulfills the recommendations of state and national standards, while practice in essay writing leads to better academic and test writing. More importantly, "Essay gives its author the space, time, and freedom to think about and make sense of things, take a journey of discovery, and speak her mind, without boundaries." Don't students deserve the chance to develop their own topics, discover their own writing voices, and learn to structure prose organically, according to the content? Katherine gives you tools, strategies, and activities to bring a unit on more authentic writing into your practice. Rediscover the power of the essay to bring out students' true thinking-their true selves. Because after all, the journey is everything.

Relearning to Teach is a must read for all teachers looking to pinpoint the why of teaching methods and to gain an understanding of the reasons why various pedagogies are used within the classroom.

He had just had surgery to remove a rare pancreatic tumor. It was after visiting hours and his family had left for the day. Alone and racked with pain, Marv tossed and turned, wanting more than anything else to simply sleep and escape the misery and discomfort for a while. The retired banker, father, and grandfather had no idea he was about to get a short reprieve in the form of an experience he never could have imagined. In My Journey to Heaven, Marv Bestman shares the story of his experience of heaven with astounding detail. Readers will hear of his encounters with angels who accompanied him to the gate, his conversation (argument, really) with St. Peter, and his recognition of friends and family members who touched his life.

Marv believed God sent him back to earth to fulfill this mission of comfort and reminds readers that God has work for each of us to do before he calls us to be with him in heaven. Secure in his belief that his book was the fulfillment of his own mission, Marv returned to heaven in January 2012.

From its early days, the Help Center served just three clients and now assists 350 students.

More than a history of a single organization, Start Small, Grow Slow, Make a Difference offers tips and guidance for those who seek to open and operate a similar philanthropic nonprofit of their own. Al-Juffali discusses the three essential building blocks to ensure a solid foundation designed to achieve any vision: start, grow, and learn.
