Book excerpt: Bernice G. Dyck has been a school teacher and a follower of Christ all the years of her life. She learned to serve others at a very young age. When she was in Kindergarten, she was already singled out as the person who was ready, willing, and able to help those who need it. She taught for more than 30 years in the public school system, and has done part-time teaching at Red River College and at the University of Winnipeg. While keeping busy and involved with the organizations that she worked for, she spent many years writing books in her spare time. She recently went back to the 'education system' as a student of theology, and has spent two years preparing to help churches that need a Lay Worship Leader for a period of time. During those experiences, some as long as several months, at the request of the congregation, her passion for Christ has continued to grow, and the novels and Christian books she has written should help us to know and understand our God, who made us with the potential to be an excellent servant, following in Jesus' footsteps. Now, with several books ready for publication, she is happy to share her passion for living with and for God. Whether you are a declared Christian or not, God has already been working in your life! This book should lead you to see how that has already happened as you Look Back over your life. It should also help to See Ahead and determine how God's work in the past will strongly influence your future, and how it will help you to share God's love with others! Retrospection can, and will change your life! Thanks be to God!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In over sixty years of involvement in social work—as practitioner, supervisor, teacher, consultant, and author—Helen Harris Perlman has become all but a legend.

To each essay she has added her current, informal comments. Refreshingly original is the section "After Hours," in which she captures, in sketches and verse, the humor and heartache that are inevitable in any profession that deals with hurt and troubled people.

Download or read book Don t Look Back written by Achut Deng and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this propulsive memoir from Achut Deng and Keely Hutton, inspired by a harrowing New York Times article, Don't Look Back tells a powerful story showing both the ugliness and the beauty of humanity, and the power of not giving up. I want life. After a deadly attack in South Sudan left six-year-old Achut Deng without a family, she lived in refugee camps for ten years, until a refugee relocation program gave her the opportunity to move to the United States. When asked why she should be given a chance to leave the camp, Achut simply told the interviewer: I want life. But the chance at starting a new life in a new country came with a different set of challenges. Some of them equally deadly. Taught by the strong women in her life not to look back, Achut kept moving forward, overcoming one obstacle after another, facing each day with hope and faith in her future. Yet, just as Achut began to think of the US as her home, a tie to her old life resurfaced, and for the first time, she had no choice but to remember her past.

Download or read book Passionate Bureaucrat The Lessons For The 21st Century From 4 500 Years Of Public Service Reform written by Everest-phillips Max and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective and impartial public administration is the foundation of state legitimacy. This was understood 4,500 years ago when Urukagina, the ruler of a small country in Mesopotamia, proclaimed the first known reform of public service. The quality of public administration will be even more important in the 21st century. Successful states will be those that recognise public service as a key determinant of national competitive advantage. That realisation will generate a radical change in the image of the civil servant — from dull, uninspired public official to passionate advocate of the common good.This transformation will be the product of the complex challenges arising from the interweaving of globalisation with the '4th Industrial Revolution.' These and related developments are forcing governments around the world to search for public service that can respond to the unprecedented range of opportunities and threats emerging from a rapidly evolving international context. In an increasingly frenetic world ruled by 'Wicked Ostriches' and 'Black Elephants', governments require a civil service capable of achieving five outcomes: i) unlocking the creativity and collaborative spirit needed to solve complex problems; ii) overcoming the fallacy that the private sector is inherently more innovative and efficient than the public service; iii) developing societies that are perceived by their citizens as fair; iv) fostering the trust of citizens in their governments; and v) bolstering the legitimacy of the state.The author, who is Director of the United Nations Development Programme's Global Centre for Public Service Excellence in Singapore, suggests that these interconnected aims will result in a new phenomenon: the public recognition by political leaders and citizens that future prosperity, political stability, environmental sustainability and social cohesion are dependent on committed and creative civil servants passionate about promoting the long-term national interest.'I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.'Mahatma Gandhi
