Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Jesus really mean when He said, "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." (Matthew 16:25, NIV)? In Living for Another, author and speaker Brent Gambrell calls the reader to realize God has called us all to abundant life, but in order to have that, we must live a life for someone other than ourselves. You must live for Another. Your life is not destined to be a cautionary tale of what could have been. Have an abundant life by living a life of voluntary loss; a life poured out intentionally for others. Live a life that pleases the One who gave His life for you. Live an abundant life when you live for Another.

Book excerpt: The Science of Living - Living for Others Table of Contents Introduction The Givers and the Takers Learn to Live for Yourself All Those Helping Hands Giving – and Giving in They Cannot Do without Us The Hinder-ers Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Did you notice that there are many human beings around you, who have spent a major part of their lives, thinking for Ways and Means in which trouble and worries do not touch you? They may be your parents, they may be your partners and also they may be your children. But you are so used to their presence in your life, that you take it for granted that they are always going to be there to remove the thorns from your life of roses. These are the givers. This book is for them, and in appreciation of what they give to you, physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and psychologically. All of us number among our acquaintances, one of those invaluable and dear people, who are always there. They are usually kind and cheerful, unselfish and work themselves of their feet in an effort to everything asked of them. Sometimes, they go beyond what is expected of them, in order to help you, or read you, or make your life more comfortable. Everybody appreciates them, because they are always ready to pitch in and help, but have you thought that you may put a strain on relationships, if you let overdependence on these willing and good souls come an imposition on their mind, body and spirits?

  • ISBN : 1479784575
  • Pages : 48 pages

Download or read book Living for Others written by Paulajean Anne Anderson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book as several other books that Ms. Anderson or (PJ) has written in the past is another true story. It discusses how PJ and others like her have become individuals that think about others before they think about their selves. In a sense this is wearing your “Heart on your sleeve.” Living like this causes an individual to live other roles as, hero, heroin, and yes if they aren’t strong enough they can become a victim to others. Those that believe in the Bible know that it teaches us some great concepts that should be followed even today. I’m sharing many of these below with you so that you can get an understanding of what the Bible teaches on this topic. Here are just ten verses on the topic. Do for others what you want them to do for you. This is the teaching of the laws of Moses in a nutshell.”(Mat 7:12 TLB) Jesus replied, "The one that says, ´Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only God. And you must love him with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.(Mark 12:29-31 TLB) The second is: You must love others as much as yourself. No other commandments are greater than these."(Luke 9:48 TLB) And Jesus said to them, Anyone who takes care of a little child like this is caring for me! And whoever cares for me is caring for God who sent me. Your care for others is the measure of your greatness."(Acts 9:36 TLB) In the city of Joppa there was a woman named Dorcas (“Gazelle"), a believer who was always doing kind things for others, especially for the poor. This woman Dorcas became very ill and was dying. Her neighbors, friends, and family wept for her. When Peter heard of the illness of this wonderful woman, he asked the mourners to leave. He prayed over her and when he asked her to rise up she was able to do so under her own accord. When this happened, Peter presenter her back to those who mourned for her.(Eph. 5:2 TLB) Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, for Christ´s love for you was like sweet perfume to him.(Col 1:9 TLB) So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what he wants you to do; asking him to make you wise about spiritual things;(Col 1:10 TLB) ...asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning to know God better and better.(Titus 2:14 TLB) He (Jesus) died under God´s judgment against our sins so that he could rescue us from constant falling into sin and make us his very own people, with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others.(Jude 1:23 TLB) Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that you yourselves aren´t pulled along into their sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners. Do to her as she has done to you, and more--give double penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed many a cup of woe for others--give twice as much to her.(Rev 18:6 TLB) So as you can see from the above Bible verses there are many guidelines for helping others outlined and being a Christian the Bible is an awesome book of life. There are many more verses covering this topic of helping others. These I’m going to leave for the reader to explore further. There are many thoughtful word shared from experience and time written in this book. I hope that you enjoy what you read.

Book Living Well at Others  Expense

Download or read book Living Well at Others Expense written by Stephan Lessenich and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of developed societies lies an insatiable drive for wealth and prosperity. Yet in a world ruled by free-market economics, there are always winners and losers. The benefits enjoyed by the privileged few come at the expense of the many. In this important new book, Stephan Lessenich shows how our wealth and affluence are built overwhelmingly at the expense of those in less-developed countries and regions of the world. His theory of ‘externalization’ demonstrates how the negative consequences of our lifestyles are directly transferred onto the world’s poorest. From the destruction of habitats caused by the massive increase in demand for soy and palm oil to the catastrophic impact of mining, Lessenich shows how the Global South has borne the brunt of our success. Yet, as we see from the mass movements of people across the world, we can no longer ignore the environmental and social toll of our prosperity. Lessenich’s highly original account of the structure and dynamics of global inequality highlights the devastating consequences of the affluent lifestyles of the West and reminds us of our far-reaching political responsibilities in an increasingly interconnected world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully." —Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk AS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOW How might your life be better with less? Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent—a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment—a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences—and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey—to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.
