Download or read book Biblical Secrets to Business Success written by Bob Diener and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the road to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Bob Diener confronted a lot of tough issues: how to treat employees, how to please customers, whether or not to cut corners, whether to follow the temptation of an unsavory deal… Although he had no formal business training, Bob found solutions to all these issues and reached the top using a simple strategy that is available to anyone. His secret? Careful study of “the best guidebook to running a successful business ever written”: the Bible. Difficult dilemmas become easy when viewed from the biblical perspective. “Our work is meaningless unless to do good,” counsels the Book of Ecclesiastes. Companies that abide by the Bible's rules of business tend to be the ones that prosper long term. Companies that cheat their workers and partners, defraud their customers, and operate unethically don't stay in business very long.You too can become a successful entrepreneur by following the tips, strategies, and biblical principles outlined in this exploration of best practices for market research, labor management, business negotiations, risk mitigation, watching the bottom line, and, perhaps most important of all, leaving a lasting legacy.Bob Diener and his partner David Litman created the company that became hotels.com, which pioneered hotel distribution online. When Bob and his partner took the company public in 2000, the stock price soared from $16 to $90 in one of the most successful IPOs ever. Having gone on to cofound getaroom.com, Bob is a familiar presence on national media outlets, offering his sage advice on the travel industry.

Download or read book Original King James Bible The History Before it Is written by Edmond Willie Givens and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Original King James Bible The History before it is, is a compilation of 12 years of writing snippets from the King James Bible that match secular history as taught in schools and colleges. Ecclesiastes 1:9 states, "There is no new thing under the sun." I had to search for the main key in scripture, which is the lineage of Jesus through David. David's great-great grandson was named Melea, which in Greek is Black and mentioned once. Also Jesus was taken into Egypt to be hidden from Herod who wanted to kill him. The Tribe of Judah would be taken out of Egypt by ships and sold as bondsmen and bondswomen and taken to Isles afar off they know not of, which happened to be America. This was the twelfth time slavery was done to a people, which is also a completion number. The author had two lower back surgeries. One was in August 1976 and one on November 22, 1977 and at 2:40 PM I had an out of body experience and was looking down at the doctors operating on me. When I recovered from the last surgery I realized GOD had healed me since both surgeries took 10 hours each to complete. I started going back to church in 1978 but did not take my walk serious until 1994. I started reading and studying my King James Bible seriously. It was in 1995 that I got the unction to write little snippet's from the King James Bible and distribute them to other Christians that I knew would accept and read the material I had given them. In April 2007 I received the words, "Write the Book." And as they say, "It is history!

Download or read book The The Story Behind the Bible Trilogy Book I The Torah Book II The Prophets Book III The New Covenant written by J. K. Alexander and published by Yorkshire Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With facts and information, insightful commentary, and even a few flights of fantasy, The Story Behind the Bible trilogy weaves a magnetic journey through the ancient texts of the Bible for believers and non-believers alike. It's a journey that can draw readers into a universe that is larger and more incredible than they ever thought possible. A highly comprehensive overview of the entire Bible, the trilogy also proves that the prophets of scripture made impossible and miraculous predictions and prophecies concerning future events, including our current era, and virtually proves that God's hand steers the broad stream of world history. Now, over two thousand years hence, much of scripture has been misinterpreted, misapplied, or simply lost to traditions and folklore. The books address those issues with commentary and doctrine, and, through the elegant story and amazing people of the New Testament, bring the biblical story to a triumphant end.

Download or read book Pharaohs of the Bible Mizraim to Shishak written by Eve Clarity and published by Eve Clarity. This book was released on 2012 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharaohs of the Bible (Mizraim to Shishak) proves the Biblical history is accurate. It explains how over 200 pharaohs of the 1st - 17th dynasties reigned during only 600 years between Noah's flood and Joseph's famine. This breakthrough book intertwines the history of the Old Testament with the archaeological facts and events of Egypt, the Levant, and the cultures around the Mediterranean Sea. By correlating facts of famines in Egypt with the Bible, several major connections were made. For example, thirty huge temporary silos were constructed at Tell el-Daba (Avaris) soon after Ahmose I conquered it, connecting Ahmose I with Joseph's 7-year famine and the huge grain silos in Boeotia, Greece. Hundreds of black and white maps, charts, and pictures simplify the complexity and immensity of the data to enable readers to follow God's remarkable revelation of history.

Download or read book War for Profit written by Charles M. Smith and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WASHINGTON — The Army official who managed the Pentagon's largest contract in Iraq says he was ousted from his job when he refused to approve paying more than $1 billion in questionable charges to KBR..." (James Risen, New York Times, June 17, 2008) This book by that very Army official provides an eye-opening firsthand account of how the US Government hands over your tax dollars to support contractors like KBR and Halliburton, rather than supporting the troops. This authoritative and well-documented record of the LOGCAP contract in Iraq and Afghanistan is at the same time a study of US participation in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the workings of government agencies and Congress. The first chapter sets the scene, briefly narrating the author's work on behalf of US military efforts, especially in Iraq. Subsequent chapters illustrate specific issues in contractor relations that resulted in unsafe conditions for the troops and blew millions of taxpayer dollars. Loyal and hard-working government officials and employees who tried to keep things on track were turned away and those who sought to rein in the free-for-all were sacked. The author reveals problems with KBR's provision of transportation, electricity, food and water. Other chapters are more analytic and evaluate Army logistics, Congressional oversight and the question of whether letting contracts for this kind of support is appropriate at all--the kind of problems that concern military policy leaders, defense analysts, public policy analysts and scholars in these areas, as well as the citizens in whose name this is all done.

Download or read book The Bible in Early Transatlantic Pietism and Evangelicalism written by Ryan P. Hoselton and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays showcases the variety and complexity of early awakened Protestant biblical interpretation and practice while highlighting the many parallels, networks, and exchanges that connected the Pietist and evangelical traditions on both sides of the Atlantic. A yearning to obtain from the Word spiritual knowledge of God that was at once experiential and practical lay at the heart of the Pietist and evangelical quest for true religion, and it significantly shaped the courses and legacies of these movements. The myriad ways in which Pietists and evangelicals read, preached, translated, and practiced the Bible were inextricable from how they fashioned new forms of devotion, founded institutions, engaged the early Enlightenment, and made sense of their world. This volume provides breadth and texture to the role of Scripture in these related religious traditions. The contributors probe an assortment of primary source material from various confessional, linguistic, national, and regional traditions and feature well-known figures—including August Hermann Francke, Cotton Mather, and Jonathan Edwards—alongside lesser-known lay believers, women, people of color, and so-called radicals and separatists. Pioneering and collaborative, this volume contributes fresh insight into the history of the Bible and the entangled religious cultures of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Along with the editors, the contributors to this volume include Ruth Albrecht, Robert E. Brown, Crawford Gribben, Bruce Hindmarsh, Kenneth P. Minkema, Adriaan C. Neele, Benjamin M. Pietrenka, Isabel Rivers, Douglas H. Shantz, Peter Vogt, and Marilyn J. Westerkamp.

Download or read book A Fatal Addiction written by Thomas Block and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America, one of the most religious countries in the world, is also the most violent. Do God and war define the American spirit as much as apple pie and baseball? This unsettling book illustrates how bellicose, war-like language is used to explain the spiritual quest. It explores the violence of God tradition as it exists in all religions (including Buddhism), and then examines how this dynamic is flipped, with political leaders using spiritual and religious language to sell war to the general public. Although God and religion have often been used to sell war in the United States, this has been especially true since 9/11. After surveying the relationship of war and the spiritual quest in the major world religions, this study concludes with an overview of how that dynamic has affected the contemporary American public discourse on war. Does this intermingling of war and spirituality prepare the population for the coming of war? The institutional blending of the sacred and human aggression appear to be fundamental to human society. The second section of the book concentrates on the political language and speeches of American politicians since 2002, following the run-up to the Iraq war and its continuation over the past decade, showing how this mystical/war conflation permeates American society.
