Download or read book Take Care of Yourself written by Pablo Martinez and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “They made me take care of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I neglected.” (Song of Songs 1:6b) Paul urged Timothy to learn this vital principle when he was still young. It contains one of the keys in Christian work: If someone in ministry is not all right, the quality of their ministry will be affected. In Christian ministries, it is easy to find workers who never think of themselves. While selflessness is a Christlike trait, at times we can push ourselves too far, leading to the paradigm of stressed and burned-out people. In order to love God and serve others, we often need to be still, take a rest, and be refreshed. This book will help Christians find the balance between ministry and “monastery,” between the urgent work of service and the place of rest and restoration. Caring for our own “vineyard”—the talents, gifts, and emotional resources of our personality—is not only a privilege but a duty. It is part of good stewardship, an act of obedience as disciples of Christ. Far from being a sign of a more spiritual attitude, neglecting our own needs can be a serious mistake and even a sin.

Super volcanoes, global destroying meteors, the economic breakdown of a country, and biblical proportions of the last days as depicted in Revelations (like plagues, years of famine, massive deaths of people and animals) are addressed and examined; but more importantly is how to effectively gather resources, focus your preparation efforts, execute a well rounded plan, and prevent people from taking away your life and dreams of a better future. You will learn the best ways to develop a dynamic group of survivalists and family of people, all set on the goal to survive and repopulate the planet if need be. Examples of good, very good, and bad and extremely bad prepping practices are shown along with solutions to problems most preppers run into or should encounter if the preparation efforts are being properly built on top of each other. This book looks at other resources like other books, movies, shows, and organizations to improve your knowledge base and connect you to the people you should interact with the most. You will know how to identify the best location for your safe haven (bunker) and how to best protect it. You will know what it takes to be an effective leader, how to follow, and how to train other leaders.

Download or read book Alive Surviving Modern Oncology written by Ann Gimpel and published by Ann Gimpel Books, LLC. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a bitch of a disease. Every single person who’s experienced being diagnosed and treated is a hero. There are a lot of cancer books out there. What’s different about this one? Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot. I’m a psychologist by trade. About fifteen years back, I started writing novels. Unfortunately, there’s not a scrap of fiction in Alive. There are also no dragons, unicorns, or magical worlds. This book was tough to write. In places, it will be equally tough to read. In addition to my personal saga, it includes stories from other brave souls who volunteered to be part of this project. There are also chapters about the etiology of cancer, cancer as big business in America (and elsewhere), avoiding scams, and integrative oncology. Like most, I started my cancer journey believing the MDs had my best interests at heart. A few did, but to so many others I was nothing but a number, a statistic, many steps removed from a human being. My hope for Alive is it will empower others to stand up for themselves, to ask questions, to do their own research. Ultimately, everyone’s life is precious and worth the effort of self-advocacy.
