Download or read book The Greatest Leap of Your Life written by Richard E. Pugh and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a restless world that often seems complicated or difficult to navigate with any sense of real satisfaction or peace. A myriad of influences, distractions, temptations, and responsibilities fill our lives and pull us in many directions. While most of us certainly enjoy good times, even those are measured because the foundation of stability and peace that we all crave is elusive. That missing piece of security in our own lives compromises our ability to experience a consistent joy and peace that can positively affect our entire mental outlook as well as our relationships with family and all others in our lives. This book discusses taking the greatest leap of your life to find a consistent and very real peace and joy in your life. It is a book about God's love for us as expressed through the life of Christ. It is written by a layman who wishes to convey simply and understandably the basic components of the Christian faith and the immense grace and love God has for His children. The study of theology by its very nature is complex and certainly very important. Yet it can in its depth tend to lose its focus on why Jesus Christ came to earth, thus unintentionally confusing or derailing some of us from grasping what's truly important. The author, using a number of experiences from his own life, attempts to simplify the true essence of Christianity and how it can have a powerful impact on you - once you have taken the greatest leap of your life! Richard Pugh, a native of upstate New York, worked more than 40 years in the health care field serving the last 30 years as a hospital CEO. He graduated from Ithaca College and received his MBA at the George Washington University. Mr. Pugh is married and the father of three grown children, and he is active at his local church in Woodbury, Connecticut.

Download or read book Imperial Engineers written by Richard Hornsey and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1871 on the outskirts of London, the Royal Indian Engineering College at Coopers Hill was arguably the first engineering school in Britain. For thirty-five years the college helped staff the government institutions of British India responsible for the railways, irrigation systems, telegraph network, and forests. Founded to meet the high demand for engineers in that country, it was closed thirty-five years later because its educational innovations had been surpassed by Britain’s universities – on both occasions against the wishes of the Government of India. Imperial Engineers offers a complete history of the Royal Indian Engineering College. Drawing on the diaries of graduates working in India, the college magazine, student and alumni periodicals, and other archival documents, Richard Hornsey details why the college was established and how the students’ education prepared them for their work. Illustrating the impact of the college and its graduates in India and beyond, Imperial Engineers illuminates the personal and professional experiences of British men in India as well as the transformation of engineering education at a time of social and technological change.

Download or read book The Best of Enemies written by Osha Gray Davidson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2007-08-27 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. P. Ellis grew up in the poor white section of Durham, North Carolina, and as a young man joined the Ku Klux Klan. Ann Atwater, a single mother from the poor black part of town, quit her job as a household domestic to join the civil rights fight. During the 1960s, as the country struggled with the explosive issue of race, Atwater and Ellis met on opposite sides of the public school integration issue. Their encounters were charged with hatred and suspicion. In an amazing set of transformations, however, each of them came to see how the other had been exploited by the South's rigid power structure, and they forged a friendship that flourished against a backdrop of unrelenting bigotry. Rich with details about the rhythms of daily life in the mid-twentieth-century South, The Best of Enemies offers a vivid portrait of a relationship that defied all odds. By placing this very personal story into broader context, Osha Gray Davidson demonstrates that race is intimately tied to issues of class, and that cooperation is possible--even in the most divisive situations--when people begin to listen to one another.

Download or read book Southeast Asian Personalities of Chinese Descent written by Leo Suryadinata and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2012 with total page 1611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a bold project recording the lives of a particular group of Southeast Asians. Most of the people whose biographies are included here have settled down in the ten countries that constitute the region. Each of them has either self-identified as Chinese or is comfortable to be known as someone of Chinese ancestry. There are also those who were born in China or elsewhere who came here to work and do business, including seeking help from others who have ethnic Chinese connections. With the political and economic conditions of the region in a great state of flux for the past two centuries, it is impossible to find consistency in the naming process. Confucius had stressed that correct names make for the best relationships. In this case, Professor Leo Suryadinata has been pursuing for decades the elusive goal of finding the right name to give to the large numbers of people who have, in one way or another, made their homes in, or made some difference to, Southeast Asia. I believe that, when he and his colleagues selected the biographies to be included here, they have taken a big step towards the rectification of identities for many leading personalities. In so doing, he has done us all a great service." - Professor Wang Gungwu, National University of Singapore
