Book excerpt: A life of sin can place us on a dangerous path. Many people do not recognize their destructive behavioral patterns, but for others this is a life-style. Sin has no boundaries, and it is capable of destroying the lives of very good people. This book will engage the reader and will expose those things which may have a negative influence in a person's life. It is important to recognize that all sins are forgiven when we place our trust in God. This book contains specific topics designed to promote journaling. While some of these topics are very sensitive, they will also open the door for healing as God will use this time to touch your heart. I hope you enjoy this intimate time with God. Dave Payton was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, 1957, and moved to Arizona at the age of five. He was raised in South Phoenix. He grew up in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood. It was in the streets that his lessons were learned. He acquired a different perspective on life as God showed him how to accept others for who they really are. Through much adversity and help along the way, he was able to fight his way to a better life. His tough life gave him compassion for those who suffered. His passion for the less fortunate will always be a soft spot in his heart as he can only thank God for saving him.

Book excerpt: “With tenderness and skill, Beth Vogt examines the price of secrets, the weight of tragic loss, and the soul-deep poison of things left unsaid.” —Lisa Wingate, NYT bestselling author of Before We Were Yours It’s been ten years since Payton Thatcher’s twin sister died in an accident, leaving the entire family to cope in whatever ways they could. No longer half of a pair, Payton reinvents herself as a partner in a successful party-planning business and is doing just fine—as long as she manages to hold her memories and her family at arm’s length. But with her middle sister Jillian’s engagement, Payton’s party-planning skills are called into action. Which means working alongside her opinionated oldest sister, Johanna, who always seems ready for a fight. They can only hope that a wedding might be just the occasion to heal the resentment and jealousy that divides them . . . until a frightening diagnosis threatens Jillian’s plans and her future. As old wounds are reopened and the family faces the possibility of another tragedy, the Thatchers must decide if they will pull together or be driven further apart.

Download or read book Stack the Logs written by Frank F. Lunn and published by Kahuna Business Group. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing adversity is a part of life. It is up to those challenged as to how these obstacles will impact their lives. In this inspiring new book, Stack the Logs! Building a Success Framework to Reach Your Dreams, Frank F. Lunn describes how his relationship with his late father and his young son's devastating diagnosis of leukemia led to a new formula for success based on a tried and true philosophy. The result is a remarkable lesson on how we can get the most out of life. Lunn, who has a successful entrepreneurial background, engages you from the very first pages. He describes an experience with his father, which provided the foundation for the book, and details his own son's frightening fight against cancer. Lunn tells of a simple note in a birthday card from his father about how "stacking the logs" one at a time -- making life choices, one by one -- was the only route to success and how it suddenly became clear this simplistic idea was truly profound. Frank F. Lunn was living a normal busy life when he received a phone call that stopped time: His eight-year-old son had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The next six months were a struggle for the entire Lunn family, as they battled with Frankie against a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, a cancer very similar to what ironically had defeated Lunn's father four years earlier. At the time of his son's illness, the premise for this book was still in its infancy. It is based on his father's homespun advice to "stack the logs," one decision and choice stacked on top of another, until success is achieved.

Download or read book Music Genres and Corporate Cultures written by Keith Negus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Genres and Corporate Cultures explores the seemingly haphazard workings of the music industry, tracing the uneasy relationship between economics and culture; `entertainment corporations' and the artists they sign. Keith Negus examines the contrasting strategies of major labels like Sony and Polygram in managing different genres, artists and staff. How do takeovers affect the treatment of artists? Why has Polygram been perceived as too European to attract US artists? And how did Warner's wooden floors help them sign Green Day? Through in-depth case studies of three major genres; rap, country, and salsa, Negus explores the way in which the music industry recognises and rewards certain sounds, and how this influences both the creativity of musicians, and their audiences. He examines the tension between raps public image as the spontaneous `music of the streets' and the practicalities of the market, and asks why country labels and radio stations promote top-selling acts like Garth Brooks over hard-to-classify artists like Mary Chapin-Carpenter, and how the lack of soundscan systems in Puerto Rican record shops affects salsa music's position on the US Billboard chart. Drawing on over seventy interviews with music industry personnel in Britain and the United States, Music Genres and Corporate Cultures shows how the creation, circulation and consumption of popular music is shaped by record companies and corporate business styles while stressing that music production takes within a broader culture, not totally within the control of large corporations.

Download or read book The Chayil Woman written by Stella Payton and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chayil Woman a new book by Stella Payton...Proverbs 31:10 "Who can find a VIRTUOUS CHAYIL woman? For her price is far above rubies." KJVFew people realize that virtuous is translated from the Hebrew word CHAYIL. To the King James Translators, virtue was emphasized for good reason. Crusade wars had waged for over 200 years. They took men away from their families for years at a time. It was important that the "virtue" of their women remain intact in their absence. However, for a Hebrew woman, moral purity was a given. To do otherwise meant a swift death. Chayil in its original framework is ESHET CHAYIL meaning woman of VALOR. It is great courage in the face of danger. It implies bravery--doing what frightens you; pluck--the kind of daring that enables you to quickly remove someone from a dangerous; nerve--braced mentally to face demanding situations; audacious--taking bold risks with confident, dauntless--fearless; ; moxie--force of character with determination and nerve. This is a Chayil Woman. And these are the characteristics women need today.But Chayil doesn't stop with valor. More that 50% of the time this word is translated, it is in the context of VICTORIOUS WARFARE. Another 25% of the time it is in the context of WEALTH and the ability to acquire wealth. When you add all this up, CHAYIL was a woman who knew how to fight and win the battle of the Home, Community and Marketplace. CHAYIL is the WEALTH of Deuteronomy 8:18 and Proverbs 13:22. CHAYIL changes everything we thought we knew about the VIRTUOUS WOMAN.Furthermore, Jewish Rabbis teach that the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31 is an allegory. She was a representation of the Body of Christ for our time. She is a symbol of what the Kingdom of God can do in order to release the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. This is the season for the Wealth and Wisdom of the Chayil Woman to manifest. It is time for her to arise, to shine. For her light has come.

Download or read book A View from Two Benches written by Doug Feldmann and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether in football or in the law, Illinois Supreme Court Justice Robert Thomas has always had the "best view from the bench." Bob Thomas got his start in football at the University of Notre Dame, kicking for the famed "Fighting Irish" in the early 1970s. Claimed off waivers by the Chicago Bears in 1975, Thomas helped to take the franchise from their darkest days to their brightest. Yet, on the cusp of the team's greatest moment, he was struck with a shocking blow that challenged his fortitude. In this dramatic retelling of Bob Thomas's fascinating life, renowned sports writer Doug Feldmann shows how neither football nor the law was part of Thomas's dreams while growing up the son of Italian immigrants in Rochester, New York, in the 1960s. Chasing excellence on both the gridiron and in the courtroom, however, would require resilience in ways he could not have imagined. As A View from Two Benches shows us, Bob Thomas reached the top of two separate and distinct professions, guided by a bedrock of faith that has impacted his decisions and actions as both a football player and a judge, helping him navigate the peaks and valleys of life. As Doug Feldmann reveals, Bob Thomas has always stayed true to the values he learned in his earliest days. Doug Feldmann's rich biography of an accomplished kicker and a proud justice of the law shows us that determination and resilience go a long way to a successful and impactful life.
