Download or read book Unhurried at Work written by Johnnie Moore and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we work in a way that makes the most of our human qualities, at a speed that works for us? Being unhurried is about working as we are: messy, imperfect, normal human beings. The more we accept that, the more fun it turns out we can have. To be unhurried is to move at the right pace for the task at hand, to understand our place in relation to others and to be realistic about what can and should be achieved. This book tells the story of my journey towards a more unhurried way of working and living, drawing on five years of conversational experiments and over 15 years facilitating meetings and events around the world. I share what I have learned, and offer some pointers to a way of working that allows human beings to work at their best - instead of rushing to keep up in a world dominated by machines and algorithms. When we hurry less, we increase the likelihood of serendipity and discover the benefits of "effortless effort".This short book might take you less than an hour to read - if you go cover-to-cover. And I've written it for dipping in and out, because I don't want reading to be laborious. It's not an instruction manual, how-to guide or self-help book. I'm aiming to provide inspiration and food for thought so that you can find your own unhurried path with your own surprises and discoveries. Johnnie Moore is a facilitator who has worked with businesses, charities and activists around the world. He's a visiting tutor at the Saïd Business School at Oxford University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helps pastors adopt an approach to ministry that is effective, enjoyable, and sustainable. Being a pastor is not a regular 9-to-5 job. There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work, and can leave you running on empty. How can we develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people we care for and that will also protect us from burnout? Ronnie Martin and Brian Croft have each spent decades pastoring churches and supporting ministry leaders. Here they encourage fellow shepherds to embrace a more present-focused, unhurried approach to ministry. They show how this starts with accepting their humanity, pursuing humility, and remembering the hope they have in Christ. They also exhort pastors to fuel their ministry with self-awareness, prayer, and contemplation of Jesus. After giving a framework for this approach to ministry, the authors offer lots of practical advice regarding prioritization, managing schedules, and cultivating supportive friendships. Read this book to deepen your joy, help yourself to serve others more effectively and continue serving God in ministry for many years to come.

Download or read book Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child written by Alison Clark and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship with time in early childhood by arguing for the valuing of slow pedagogies and slow knowledge. Alison Clark points to alternative practices in Early Childhood Education and Care that enable a different pace and rhythm, against the backdrop of the acceleration in early childhood and the proliferation of testing and measurement. Diverse approaches are explored to enable an ‘unhurried child’ and less hurried adults. Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child is divided in three parts. Part 1, Reasons to be slow, looks at the pressures in Early Childhood Education and Care to speed up and for children to be ‘readied’ for the next stage. The book then explores different relationships with time for young children and educators. Part 2, Slow pedagogies and practices, explore some of the forms slow practices can take including outdoors, in the studio, in everyday routines, through stories, in pedagogical documentation and in ‘slow’ research. Part 3, Moving forward, shows what a ‘timefull’ approach to ECEC can look like, whilst debating the challenges and possibilities that exist. The book serves as a catalyst for urgent discussion about the need to slow down in early childhood education and teacher education and explores case studies of where slow early childhood education are already happening. It will be a key reading for researchers, practitioners and policy-makers about the relationship with time in early childhood and the importance of taking a longer view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.
