Download or read book X Plan Parenting written by Bert Fulks and published by Howard Books. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Gold Medal for Best Christian Family and Parenting Book of 2020 by the Illumination Book Awards The creator of the viral parenting concept the “X-Plan” illuminates the importance of awakening your child’s unique strength—while also taking an introspective look at your own life story to become a better parent. Last year, father and former teacher Bert Fulks’s simple parenting idea went viral: if your teenagers find themselves in a situation where they feel uncomfortable or trapped, they can text a family member an “X.” That family member will then call, giving the teen a way out, while still maintaining their freedom—and no questions will be asked. Now in X-Plan Parenting, Fulks expands on the how and the why behind his plan, emphasizing the importance of developing trusting relationships with our kids. Drawing on biblical principles, Fulks’s approach illuminates how even though we want the very best for our children, we sometimes parent from a place of brokenness and a desire for control rather than support and encouragement. We focus on our mistakes and painful growing up moments and the things we wish we’d had when we were kids instead of what’s best for our own children right now. This dynamic can pit kids against their parents and create rifts in the relationship. Fulks advocates for an alliance between children and parents instead of an “us vs. them” mentality. Rather than spending so much time coaxing or battling our kids, Fulks inspires us to work with our kids instead of against them. And rather than trying to right our own past wrongs vicariously through our children, he urges us to recognize where we need healing so we can provide authentic strength to support our kids’ unique journeys. There is a tender art to disciplining our kids, and X-Plan Parenting serves up laughter and tears, hard questions, and plenty of grace to moms and dads who want their kids to love God and lead passionate, joyful lives in an unpredictable world.

Book excerpt: Life is an incredible journey with ups and downs. We soar, struggle, scale and stumble, and often stand at the edge of cliffs, afraid to step into the unknown, unsure of where we will land. But instead of running away, we are called by God to stand firm, muster up what faith we can, and take a step. Because we were made to move mountains. In this inspiring book, Kristen Welch calls you to step out in faith and climb the mountain in front of you--not because you are good enough or adequate or able, but because God makes a way where there is no way. With heartbreaking and hopeful personal stories, Scripture, and questions for contemplation, she draws you out of fear and into a holy confidence, showing you that the mountain in your path was put there on purpose, so that you could exercise--and grow--your faith.

Book excerpt: As an Insidious Evil Grows, Time Is Running Out... Arturo Giamo is a renowned visionary. His pioneering methodology in genetic engineering has established him as the world's foremost expert in his field. It also puts within his grasp the realization of his life's dream: to design children who are not just intelligent beyond imagination, but capable of leading mankind to the next level of evolutionary development, to solve the gravest problems in the world-and usher in an age of lasting unity, peace, and prosperity. With the birth of his son, Luca Romano Giamo, Arturo attains his greatest personal triumph and the crowning achievement for Giamo Infertility Associates-the "miraculous" birth of the perfect child, his own son. As Luca matures, his fawning mentor, Billings Mason, rises to world renown as a man of faith, able to perform extraordinary miracles. After the mysterious disappearance of the world's Christians, Mason becomes Pope Peter II. As the miracle-working pope draws together world leaders, he consolidates Luca's power, positioning him as a key leader in the new world that dawned at his birth. Global crises multiply and natural disasters are unleashed on the earth, while Israel's enemies mass on her borders. As evil gains dominion throughout the world, what will God do? What will become of His people? Can faith endure in such times? "this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now is already in the world." (1 John 4:3, NASB) Dawn Morris has done extensive research on biblical prophecy for over thirty years and led many studies in what the Bible has to say about the Last Days, even developing and teaching curriculum on these subjects for high school students. She has a Bachelors of Science in Education and has written many stories for her children. She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and three of their five children.

Download or read book Last Child in the Woods written by Richard Louv and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2008-04-22 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book That Launched an International Movement Fans of The Anxious Generation will adore Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv's groundbreaking New York Times bestseller. “An absolute must-read for parents.” —The Boston Globe “It rivals Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.” —The Cincinnati Enquirer “I like to play indoors better ’cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are,” reports a fourth grader. But it’s not only computers, television, and video games that are keeping kids inside. It’s also their parents’ fears of traffic, strangers, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus; their schools’ emphasis on more and more homework; their structured schedules; and their lack of access to natural areas. Local governments, neighborhood associations, and even organizations devoted to the outdoors are placing legal and regulatory constraints on many wild spaces, sometimes making natural play a crime. As children’s connections to nature diminish and the social, psychological, and spiritual implications become apparent, new research shows that nature can offer powerful therapy for such maladies as depression, obesity, and attention deficit disorder. Environment-based education dramatically improves standardized test scores and grade-point averages and develops skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and decision making. Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that childhood experiences in nature stimulate creativity. In Last Child in the Woods, Louv talks with parents, children, teachers, scientists, religious leaders, child-development researchers, and environmentalists who recognize the threat and offer solutions. Louv shows us an alternative future, one in which parents help their kids experience the natural world more deeply—and find the joy of family connectedness in the process. Included in this edition: A Field Guide with 100 Practical Actions We Can Take Discussion Points for Book Groups, Classrooms, and Communities Additional Notes by the Author New and Updated Research from the U.S. and Abroad

Download or read book Because I Didn t Tell written by I. Katchastarr and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Because I Didn’t Tell, author I. Katchastarr offers a self-help autobiography detailing an account of the horrific events of her young adult life. These events fiercely unraveled her once-safe world into a dungeon of despair propelled by life-or-death threats and brain-washed promises of “not to tell.” Her journey through hell, led by the devil himself, clearly demonstrates the destructive trail of deceit, including lying to herself, in her desperate attempt to save lives: her own, her unborn child’s, and her family members’. In each chapter Katchastarr chronicles the powerful force of fear and the destructive disruption of life as she surrenders power to her abuser. She offers both forgiveness for herself and pearls of wisdom for others. An emotional story told with courage, Because I Didn’t Tell shares Katchastarr’s journey as a survivor and a thriver, and not a victim. It serves as an inspiration to others in abusive relationships—bullying, mental, emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual—to find courage, have faith, stay strong, speak up, and tell.
Download or read book Top Secret Business Humor written by Thejendra Sreenivas and published by Thejendra Sreenivas. This book was released on with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern workplace environment has always been a source of comedy from decades, but very few people are willing to openly admit it. Many executives think humor and laughter are unproductive, unprofessional, and being serious and gloomy is the only way to spend their work life. This is why most modern workplaces have become extremely humorless, artificial and stressful. But we don't have to be humorless to run a business. Actually, the ability to laugh at yourself and your work are the qualities of great and successful leaders. Having a sense of humor can lighten up difficult situations and creatively solve many personal and business problems. You must be able to think in atrocious, ridiculous, and illogical terms. Modern management consultants call this 'thinking out of the box', but I call it old fashioned creativity and humor that has existed from centuries.Top Secret Business Humor is a collection of witty satire related to corporate stuff like processes, performance, change, strategy, customer satisfaction, meetings, quality, and other workplace dramas we endure for several hours a day. This book is all about imagining the creative and wackier side of working in an office to rejuvenate and brighten your day. The chapters are all fictitious and can be taken with a pinch of salt, though the paper used may not be edible. The author makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the accuracy, usability or usefulness of the contents. So get serious about injecting some humor in your life.
