Download or read book Gentle and Lowly written by Dane C. Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Download or read book Navigating the Heart written by Ock Soo Park and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials cannot bring peace to the heart. Navigating the Heart organizes the core issues of the heart, bringing peace and reconciliation. See the kind of heart that you are living with. Then the worries and grief of your heart will disappear, giving you a productive, upbeat life. Pastor Ock Soo Park illuminates the troubles that stop the heart from loving as it should. When the heart becomes proud, communication halts. When a person enters such an isolated state, he can fall into delinquent behavior, and it becomes extremely difficult to break free. Navigating the Heart reveals the importance of humbling your heart and beginning to touch the heart of others. As a pastor, Ock Soo Park has educated prisoners for years. Through counseling them, he realized the people in prison were there because they did not have enough communication of the heart. Their hearts had become isolated, and they only trusted in themselves. When people think that they are right too often, communication with others begins to cease, making people fall only into their own thoughts and have the wrong kind of mind-set. Through his work with youth, Ock Soo Park has seen hundreds of young people go across the world as volunteers. Many young people who had not been able to live normal lives, suffering from addictions, are now living completely new lives. Learn how to turn your own life around with this heart-changing book. Step in a bold direction and start positive changes in your own life as you become freed from negative thoughts and begin to live a truly beautiful life.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.

Download or read book How to Navigate Life written by Belle Liang, PhD and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to tackling what students, families, and educators can do now to cut through stress and performance pressure, and find a path to purpose. Today’s college-bound kids are stressed, anxious, and navigating demands in their lives unimaginable to a previous generation. They’re performance machines, hitting the benchmarks they’re “supposed” to in order to reach the next tier of a relentless ladder. Then, their mental and physical exhaustion carries over right into first jobs. What have traditionally been considered the best years of life have become the beaten-down years of life. Belle Liang and Timothy Klein devote their careers both to counseling individual students and to cutting through the daily pressures to show a better way, a framework, and set of questions to find kids’ “true north”: what really turns them on in life, and how to harness the core qualities that reveal, allowing them to choose a course of study, a college, and a career. Even the gentlest parents and teachers tend to play into pervasive societal pressure for students to PERFORM. And when we take the foot off the gas, we beg the kids to just figure out what their PASSION is. Neither is a recipe for mental or physical health, or, ironically, for performance or passion. How to Navigate Life shows that successful human beings instead tap into their PURPOSE—the why behind the what and how. Best of all, purpose is a completely translatable quality to every aspect of life, from first jobs to last jobs and everything in between.

Book excerpt: “A page turner. With candor and clarity, Tony Wagner tells the story of his remarkable life and, in so doing, tells the story of our education system.” —Angela Duckworth, Founder and CEO, Character Lab, and New York Times bestselling author of Grit One of the world's top experts on education delivers an uplifting memoir on his own personal failures and successes as he sought to become a good learner and teacher. Tony Wagner is an eminent education specialist: he has taught at every grade level from high school through graduate school; worked at Harvard; done significant work for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and speaks across the country and all over the world. But before he found his success, Wagner was kicked out of middle school, expelled from high school, and dropped out of two colleges. Learning by Heart is his powerful account of his years as a student and teacher. After struggling in both roles, he learned to create meaningful learning experiences despite the constraints of conventional schooling--initially for himself and then for his students--based on understanding each student's real interests and strengthening his or her intrinsic motivations. Wagner's story sheds light on critical issues facing parents and educators today, and reminds us that trial and error, resilience, and respect for the individual, are at the very heart of all teaching and learning.

He reached over to turn it off but was suddenly hit by a sharp pain in his stomach. He groaned and curled up into a ball, clutching his stomach tightly. The pain was so intense that he felt like he was being tortured. He tried to take deep breaths to calm himself down, but it only made things worse. Sweat began to pour down his face and his entire body was trembling with pain. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to ride it out, but the pain only grew worse. After what felt like hours, David finally lost consciousness. He couldn't remember anything that happened after that, but when he woke up, he felt weak and disoriented. He struggled to sit up, feeling as if his entire body had been drained of all energy. He noticed the tea table in front of him, with a spilled cup of water and a few empty pill bottles. He couldn't remember taking any medication, but he knew that he needed something to ease the pain. He tried to reach for the pills, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even hold them. He managed to grab a glass of water and slowly sipped it, feeling slightly better with each gulp. He knew that he needed to rest and regain his strength, but he also knew that he couldn't ignore this pain any longer. He needed to seek medical attention as soon as possible. David slowly got up, using the table to steady himself. He knew that he had a long road ahead of him, but he also knew that he had to fight. He took a deep breath and slowly made his way out of the room, determined to get the help he needed to overcome this pain.

Download or read book Life Interrupted written by Priscilla Shirer and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From telemarketers to traffic jams to twenty-item shoppers in the ten-item line, our lives are full of interruptions. They're often aggravating, sometimes infuriating, and can make us want to tell people what we really think about them. But they also tell us something quite important about ourselves. The prophet Jonah's life was interrupted by a clear call of God that made him mad enough and scared enough to run in the completely opposite direction. Yet it wasn't really an interruption. It was an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen: national revival in a Gentile country. What if Jonah had seen God's interruption for what it truly was—a divine intervention that held more adventure and possibility than any other thing he could have been doing at the time? What could have felt any better than being directly in the center of God's will? Yet we play it that same way—always running from major pains and minor problems that just don't seem to suit us at the time. Who knows what we're missing by being so interruption avoidant? In this very personal account of opportunities lost and lessons learned, popular conference speaker and author Priscilla Shirer shows how to embrace the amazing freedom and fulfillment that comes from going with God, even when He's going against your grain. .

Download or read book Navigating Life s Sling Shots Leading from Within written by Dr. Lateshia Woodley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was birth out of the desire to bring awareness to the plight of women in leadership. The concept of the sling shot is used as a metaphor for life. When we think of a sling shot we think of a toy sometimes used to teach students about physics. In this book, the concept of the sling shot provides the premise that all the negative situations we face in life act as sling shots. Although being pulled and stretched by people and situations can be viewed as negative during the experience, in retrospect it can be viewed as preparation designed to maximize our impact and influence. “The amazing thing about this concept is that upon Breaking Free from the Grip of Life Sling Shots, just like the ball in a sling shot experiment, one’s life has the opportunity to propel at a high rate speed toward one’s destiny and the individual is provided the opportunity to achieve at levels that seem impossible to others. The challenge is how to maintain one’s moral and ethical values when faced with the adversity of dealing with Life’s Sling Shots.”
