Download or read book Promise and Peril written by David Brubaker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congregations cannot exist without finances, priorities, leadership, worship, and decision making, yet these five aspects breed the most conflict between church members and clergy. These conflicts unfortunately tend to bring about the most negative consequences: drops in giving, resignation of leaders, and, perhaps most pointedly, loss of members. The importance of congregations and their effect on our lives is clear, yet what is less clear is what makes conflicts in faith communities inevitable. In Promise and Peril: Understanding and Managing Change and Conflict in Congregations, David Brubaker brings the tools of organizational theory and research to the task of understanding the deeper dynamics of congregational conflict. With a doctorate in sociology and more than twenty years working with congregational conflicts, Brubaker helps to explore the causes and effects of conflicts on a wide range of congregations. This book will help congregations avoid the pitfalls of conflict and instead head toward a healthy relationship between and among church staff and members.

Download or read book Street Survival written by Charles Remsberg and published by Calibre Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with positive tactics officers can employ on the street to effectively use their own firearms to defeat those of assailants. It is devoted exclusively to understanding and mastering techniques that work for survival in real life situations. Unfortunately, most of the current literature on so-called 'combat shooting' explores what works against paper targets. Few street-wise experts or truly contemporary articles have emerged on street survival, although deadly assaults on the police continue to occur year after year. This book can help make you survival sensitive. The techniques it emphasizes are designed to affect the way you prepare, plan and react, to keep you alive in real situations. They are not hypotheses, but proven procedures, based on the insights of officers who have experienced gun battles and survived and on the lessons left behind by those who have died.

Download or read book Mission to Novgorod written by Don L Clark and published by Don L Clark. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission to Novgorod begins in Moscow at the height of the Cold War when, due to the confluence of unusual circumstances, an expert at the sophisticated art of electronic snooping is asked to kill a fellow American in the name of national security. Reluctantly agreeing, a hastily trained USAF Major Tom Collins (yes, it's his real name; his dad was an alcoholic) survives a dangerous underwater journey down the Volkhov River and arrives at the Kremlin in the ancient city of Novgord. There he finds his prey in the act of being raped by one of her Soviet guards. Tom places the sight of his sniper weapon on the victim's chest and.the proverbial the rest of the story begins. Mission peels back the thin veneer of honor and respect with which the spy game cloaks itself and reveals the underside of that dubious venture: the lies, the perfidy, and the misdirection that can so readily turn good souls into bad. It also is a story of courage, forbearance and sacrifice as our two heroes match wits and perseverance with the guys who should be on their side but are not because of what they consider a greater calling.
