Download or read book Integrity in Business and Management written by Marc Orlitzky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the interconnectedness of integrity with philosophical history, leadership, managerial decision-making, and organizational effectiveness in a wide variety of contexts (e.g., time theft in organizations and family business). Well-known researchers in business ethics from all around the world reframe the literature on integrity in business and management and develop updated and more comprehensive models of integrity. Integrity in Business and Management connects integrity to both ancient thought and the modern philosophy of pragmatism, but also explains how contemporary societal trends may shape the way we think about integrity. The final chapter warns against oversocialized conceptualizations of integrity and argues for a clear differentiation between personal integrity and moral integrity. Aimed at researchers and academics in the fields of business ethics and organizational leadership, Integrity in Business and Management explicates and critiques prior models of managerial integrity in a wide variety of disciplines, covering economics, moral philosophy, business ethics, organizational behavior, sociology, history, and psychology and offers a helpful set of readings in advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses of business ethics, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, and leadership to stimulate discussions about personal integrity, moral integrity, and organizational leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated, accessible volume about one of the Getty Center’s best-loved sites. Among the most beloved sites at the Getty Center, the Central Garden has aroused intense interest from the moment artist Robert Irwin was awarded the commission. First published in 2002, Robert Irwin Getty Garden is comprised of a series of discussions between noted author Lawrence Weschler and Irwin, providing a lively account of what Irwin has playfully termed “a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art.” The text revolves around four garden walks: extended conversations in which the artist explains the critical choices he made—from plant materials to steel—in the creation of a living work of art that has helped to redefine what a modern garden can and should be. This updated edition features new photography of the Central Garden in a smaller, more accessible format.

However, these are the chakras that get blocked with long-buried fears and pain that create self-doubt, procrastination, playing small, and years of trying to prove you’re good enough. Healing these lower chakras will help you reclaim your inner power so you can stop proving and start being your most powerful, passionate, and authentic self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cristi Christensen's Chakra Rituals is a book that makes the ancient science of Chakras accessible to spiritually conscious women, and offers a seven-week step-by-step program. Learn how to tap into the single most perfect system living inside of each of us—the seven Chakras. While Chakras have become trendy, sexy, cool, and very spiritual, few people today really know how to activate the Chakras’ powerful energy for deep transformation. Cristi Christensen aims to change that, and Chakra Rituals offers readers a multi-dimensional, practical, and inspiring structured seven-week step-by-step program. Each week, readers are instructed how to activate a different Chakra, and each weekday they are led through a dynamic, easy, and motivating practice (altar building; breathing; meditation; vinyasa yoga flow, mudra, writing contemplation, and embodiment) which distills the esoteric concepts and makes them tangible, living experiences. A self-discovery and self-help guide with striking full-color illustrations, Chakra Rituals employs the Chakras’ potential to open the pathways to a full, enlightened “aliveness.” Seasoned practitioners and newcomers alike are invited to flow with their emotions, claim their power, transform their lives, and align with the divine.

Download or read book The Complete Works of C H Spurgeon Volume 43 written by Spurgeon, Charles H. and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 957 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 43 Sermons 2498-2549 Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to publish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.

Download or read book Where Is My Honor written by Dr. Josef A. Howard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about our relationship with God. Some of them give us distorted images of ourselves, life as a whole, or how our relationship ought to be with God. This book is an exception to the rule. In writing this book, my goal was not to point out our flaws and God’s disdain for us. On the contrary, it was to show how, in and of ourselves, we disappoint God continuously, like the children of Israel, and that God has made a way for us to honor him through Christ Jesus. I therefore had six goals in mind each time I sat to pen this book, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. First and foremost, Where Is My Honor? is intended to help us reflect on how we are personally honoring God in our lives and not necessarily looking at how others are honoring him. Second, it is intended to be a “mirror” through which we see the “dirt” in our lives. Third, it is a tool to help us do a reality check in terms of our relationship with God. Do we truly love him? Are we honoring him in ways that he deserves? If he were to ask us “Where is my honor?” what would we say to him? In other words, this masterpiece should help us to stop sleepwalking spiritually. Fourth, this book is provocative to us. After recognizing and acknowledging the dirt we see through this mirror, it calls on us to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to remove the dirt. Fifth, this book helps us to see how fine (beautiful or handsome) we are after we have been cleansed by the blood of the lamb. Finally, Where Is My Honor? helps us see, understand, and fully appreciate how good, big, and truly awesome God is.

Download or read book The Secrets of a Soulful Marriage written by Jim Sharon, EdD and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your partner can and should meet all of your emotional needs." "All disagreements can and should be resolved." “Great relationships require little maintenance.” Old models of marriage such as these are crumbling. Divorce rates remain high. Many people are skeptical and mistrustful about having real love in their lives. It's clear people need new models to help them connect with each other in meaningful, lasting ways. It's time to break free from old patterns of commitment and to forge new pathways for healthy, thriving, deeply loving relationships. This hope-filled resource for developing soulful, mature love is aimed at committed couples who are looking to build, maintain and glorify the sacred in their relationship. It creates a context for couples to honor the gradual movement from physical “flight-fight-freeze” body-based survival to more heart-filled, communication-oriented love, to spiritual awakening and soul-purpose fulfillment. It encourages couples—as individuals and as partners—to let go of dysfunctional, hurtful, restrictive behavior in favor of liberating self-concepts and belief systems. It provides solutions for communicating and problem-solving more effectively, allowing each partner in the relationship to experience more emotional intimacy, joy and sexual pleasure. The book provides relationship information, practical tools and inspirational, real-life stories. It also offers a banquet of spiritual practices for couples of all faiths—or none—to bring these new models into focused action.

Download or read book The Eyes of Honor written by Dr. Gene Herndon and published by Aion Multimedia Publishing . This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honor has become a lost art in today's society. We see dishonor not only in the world but unfortunately in the church. In 1 Samuel 2:35b the Bible says, “for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed”. God is very clear about honor and the Bible has much to say about it. In the days of old, people were very honorable towards God and His things. However, there is a spirit of disobedience working to relegate the things of and pertaining to God down to the unimportant and insignificant. In these times, we must find our way back to understanding honor and God's Plan of Favor on our lives. Honor is truly the Currency of Heaven and becomes the vehicle by which the Blessing flows. This book illuminates the ways that many dishonor God. It has become so subtle that many are completely unaware. There are many truths that when applied, the believer will begin to experience the Blessing moving in ways that they have never seen before. When we master these precepts of being honorable, the flood gates of currency will begin to open and uncommon favor is released into our lives. Honor truly is the Currency of Heaven by which all Heavenly Business is transacted.
