Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.

Part Two of the book contains outlines for five guided conversations for change on the theme of blessing. Part Three contains case study material of how this material has been used in different contexts, including for Mission Action Planning (MAP).
Download or read book Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing written by Russ Parker and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us', Russ Parker writes, 'that blessing is a unique ministry resource gifted to believers to effect the purposes of God in peoples' lives.' In this enthralling book, the author tells of situations of family estrangement, depression and chronic illness; of times of hopelessness and helplessness where miraculous transformation has been wrought through calling on God to bless someone with the richest blessing they are able to receive. As he has travelled the country teaching on the ministry of blessing, Russ has seen an enthusiastic response and uptake, especially amongst those involved in prayer ministry. He believes it is time for all who want to be part of God's renewal - both in church and through reaching out to the wider community - to consider how we might help others to flourish as the people God has called them to be. 'Russ Parker's ground breaking work on healing community history will be so helpful to churches. It has greatly helped me.' The Rt Revd Graeme Dow, former Bishop of Carlisle

Being afraid of the dark, taking a walk in the woods with Grandpa, arguments between David and Ilana, sharing family photos; all become opportunities for learning about how each holiday's meaning is related to our daily life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all admire humility when we see it. But how do we practice it? How does humility--the foundational virtue of the normal Christian life--become a normal part of our everyday lives? Jerry Bridges sees in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a pattern for humility in action. Starting with poverty in spirit--an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives pleasing to God--and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and more, we discover that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, giving grace to the humble and lifting us up to blessing.

Download or read book Sharing Our Science written by Brandon R. Brown and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal, practical, and inspirational guide to written and oral STEM communications for scientists and technical professionals. In Sharing Our Science, scientist-turned-writing teacher Brandon Brown offers an eminently useful guidebook for STEM practitioners looking to communicate their technical work to either a technical or a broader audience. Professionals are increasingly required to communicate their work through blogs, podcasts, and newsletters and to submit to traditional media. After seeing his colleagues struggle to find a writing guide that tackled the unique challenges of writing and speaking about scientific topics, Brown set out to write the definitive handbook to assist STEM students, scientists, engineers, and tech workers alike. In this practical and relevant book, Brown uses his experience as a proven science communicator to cover three levels of writing: fundamental craft considerations, such as narrative tension, structure, sentences, and audience; unique scientific considerations, such as conveying numbers and utilizing metaphors; and finally, social considerations, such as public speaking and writing inside and outside of silos. In place of a reference manual, Brown’s engaging narrative guide clarifies the fundamental principles that impact all scientific communication tasks, from white papers and slide decks to Zoom meetings and emails. Sharing Our Science represents the culmination of a lifetime of writing, research, and teaching that will enrich scientists’ careers and illuminate the ways in which science is done and conveyed to the world.
Download or read book The Link written by Ola A.T. Onikoyi and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clear evidence of discontent and disconnection in the life of many individuals, resulting to lack and limitations. The population of the poor is increasing in the midst of plenty. The hardworking people have little or nothing to show for their effort. The rich also cry profusely for one need or another. Those who claim to be men of God have no general answer to the immediate needs of their congregation; all these are proofs of an urgent need for a more pragmatic approach to solving our numerous problems. We urgently require knowing what links us to solutions and what connects us to the main domain of power. We are not totally impervious to the facts, but we need to get used to it. For instance, we know the air we breathe, but not all of us know the contents of this vitality of life. We know the mind, as in man, but many are ignorant of it as the powerhouse creative theater and the link to the spiritual mass where the creations and the Creator meet. We know the world, but many are yet to know that we are the world; we are the children of the most high God, so we should start giving what we want. If you need love, give it first. If you need wealth, give service. Whatsoever you need, be prepared to pay the price, and link it up with what you have. The world is a masterpiece of abundance. There is enough wealth to go round in the universe. Each and every one can be what he or she desires to be. All we need to know is how to link our inheritance, how to connect with our aspirations, and how to attract our yearnings. The eighty-two topics in this book will assist you to link up with yourself, connect with your God, and be able to attract solutions and the best things of life. Read passionately, keep thinking, and keep linking.
