Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know the story: God told Abraham he would become a great nation. Then he told him to sacrifice his own (and only) son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed God and was about to kill Isaac—when God intervened. This is a classic 'between a rock and a hard place' situation. So how was Abraham able to obey in the face of losing it all? Or to bring it closer to home—what would you have done? In this powerful book, Tony Evans reveals what to do when your love for God is tested. According to Evans, “When you don’t know God, or when you either forget or dismiss what is true about Him, then you don’t know how to respond…” Moving through passages in both the Old and New Testaments, Evans makes a powerful case for obedient living as the key to an abundant life.

Normally he'd turn it over to the cops, but a certain judge has a hard-on for him, and he's not sure he trusts anyone in law enforcement. He's forced by events to negotiate a trade for the girl's life with a drug lord while evading the cops. Throw in high-level corruption, a breakaway polygynous cult's involvement, the mob, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Book excerpt: The book is written for "people whose work brings them to the perplexing moral front lines of our rapidly changing world" and looks at the qualities needed in people who would minister in such situations. It draws on Chatteris's own experiences of ministering in a society that is divided and in the throes of political upheaval, addressing the different worlds within which we live and the ways in which our moral senses become numbed. He considers the dangerous role of truth and when to speak and act, and when to keep silent. In particular he looks at the roles of leaders and prophets, and at the integrity, personal resources and accountability needed by those called to minister in difficult situations.
Download or read book Between a Rock and a Hard Place written by Jim Igoe and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between a Rock and a Hard Place examines Africa's NGO boom of the late 1990s. In spite of the high expectations placed on African NGOs during this period, these organizations remain poorly understood. Today, Africa's NGO boom has been followed by a bust--as the fickle development industry moves its money to other types of institutions. In spite of this funding bust, the explosion of NGOs in Africa during the 1990s transformed African societies and economies in fundamental ways. In the wake of Africa's NGO boom, it is imperative that these transformations be understood and placed in historical context. Such an understanding will help us to learn from the mistakes of this brief historical period--as well as to build on its opportunities. The case studies presented in the body of this work provide the missing details of this historical moment. Through these case studies, this book examines two questions that are fundamental to development and governance in Africa--and around the world: The nature of the relationship of NGOs to Civil Society; and The effectiveness of NGOs at promoting economic development with equity. The book begins with a comprehensive introduction, which outlines the theoretical debates surrounding Africa's NGO boom--and the question of civil society in Africa. This section is followed by detailed ethnographic accounts of the NGO boom from Zimbabwe to Mali and the types of social tranformations these organizations were part. Most importantly, these accounts reveal the ways in which African elites and community organizers have worked to position themselves within the global networks of development and governance institutions, and the impacts of their strategies on life in African communities. They reveal the ways in which African NGOs have had to negotiate the different and often contradictory demands on their own constituencies, donors, and African states--the ways in which they have succeeded and the ways in which they have come unglued. "Igoe and Kelsall provide useful suggestions on how to understand historical and cultural contexts of NGOs." -- Development and Change "The volume consists of eleven chapters, which provide rich ethnographic studies covering the entire continent... [T]he chapters interact and engage with one another, creating an excellent collection of essays that together provides a rich, multilayered, and thought provoking introduction to the dramatic growth of NGOs in Africa since 1990." -- The International Journal of African Historical Studies

Download or read book Digital China How To Prevent And Deal With PR Crises In China written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to help brands avoid some common PR mistakes. It’s not an exhaustive list or the final word. Things in China change quickly, especially with a range of critical events overlapping in 2020 and 2021. However, if you’re aware, flexible, and ready to tackle the issues at hand, you have every chance of success. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. “Effective Ways to Avoid Problems Make sure all employees are aware of your company’s code of conduct, values and social media policies. During your on boarding process and at regular intervals after that, employees should be made clearly aware of all policies and guidelines around expected standards of behavior both in person and online, while at work and while off duty. This includes how you expect people to approach issues like natural disasters, local and global emergency situations and the consequences for breaching these policies. Keep an eye on your staff and listen to fellow employees who report issues. If an employee goes rogue and makes offensive statements, stay on top of things and react promptly. Don’t wait. Act swiftly and communicate in Chinese and English on multiple public channels to show your seriousness and sincerity. In a market and society that moves as fast as China’s, people are less understanding of a slow pace. And make sure you understand the pace. Your country’s fast might be China’s slow. “How to do Damage Control Xiaomi Makes Lemons Out of Lemonade. In 2015, Xiaomi co-founder and CEO, Lei Jun took the stage in New Delhi as Xiaomi launched one of its first products for the international market. This was his first time speaking English at a launch event. It’s likely that he chose to do this to better communicate with an Indian audience and so he could talk to the audience directly rather than through an interpreter. Given that his language skills were very basic, this was a brave choice. He approached the venture with gusto and good humor and laughed with the audience as, early in his speech, he had to correct himself quickly after he mistakenly said that he was very happy to be in China. He gamely kept going and delivered his announcement that everyone in the audience would receive a Mi Band, the brand’s version of a Fitbit, in clear but sometimes broken English, to loud cheers from the audience. Throughout the speech, he loudly repeated the phrase “Are you OK?” several times, seeming to mean “Are you excited?” Even though his English wasn’t accurate, he was well received for a few reasons. Not only were they all Mi fans, happy to have the company’s CEO on stage in front of them and grateful for a free gift, the audience was made up largely of English second language speakers who understood the difficulties of learning a new language. They seemed to appreciate Lei Jun’s effort and willingness to make mistakes just to communicate with them personally. The brand is hugely popular in India. Although a minority seemed to view the speech as a PR fail, it was embraced by Mi fans and the internet at large when it was remixed and autotuned to go with a cheery, humble tune. There was even a second remix done with a patriotic Chinese folk tune. It went viral and became a hit on blogs, industry news sites and social media, spreading the Xiaomi brand name and some joy right along with it.
