Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pursuit of Unity, Michael Perman presents a comprehensive analysis of the South's political history. In the 1800s, the region endured almost continuous political crisis--nullification, secession, Reconstruction, the Populist revolt, and disfranchisement. For most of the twentieth century, the region was dominated by a one-party system, the "Solid South," that ensured both political unity internally and political influence in Washington. But in both centuries, the South suffered from the noncompetitive, one-party politics that differentiated it from the rest of the country. Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, Perman argues, the South's political distinctiveness has come to an end, as has its pursuit of unity.

Download or read book Pre Suasion written by Robert Cialdini and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from Robert Cialdini—“the foremost expert on effective persuasion” (Harvard Business Review)—explains how it’s not necessarily the message itself that changes minds, but the key moment before you deliver that message. What separates effective communicators from truly successful persuaders? With the same rigorous scientific research and accessibility that made his Influence an iconic bestseller, Robert Cialdini explains how to prepare people to be receptive to a message before they experience it. Optimal persuasion is achieved only through optimal pre-suasion. In other words, to change “minds” a pre-suader must also change “states of mind.” Named a “Best Business Books of 2016” by the Financial Times, and “compelling” by The Wall Street Journal, Cialdini’s Pre-Suasion draws on his extensive experience as the most cited social psychologist of our time and explains the techniques a person should implement to become a master persuader. Altering a listener’s attitudes, beliefs, or experiences isn’t necessary, says Cialdini—all that’s required is for a communicator to redirect the audience’s focus of attention before a relevant action. From studies on advertising imagery to treating opiate addiction, from the annual letters of Berkshire Hathaway to the annals of history, Cialdini outlines the specific techniques you can use on online marketing campaigns and even effective wartime propaganda. He illustrates how the artful diversion of attention leads to successful pre-suasion and gets your targeted audience primed and ready to say, “Yes.” His book is “an essential tool for anyone serious about science based business strategies…and is destined to be an instant classic. It belongs on the shelf of anyone in business, from the CEO to the newest salesperson” (Forbes).

Download or read book Unity written by Reynaldo Pareja and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there an underlying, unifying factor that could give us a frame of reference to grasp into one holistic view, an explanation, a description that would give us a unifying understanding of all physical reality as well as our physical-spiritual human reality? This question becomes evident when we contemplate the immensity of outer space as shown by the photos taken by the Hubble telescope. They elicit from us a spontaneous exclamation of admiration and awesomeness at the magnificence of its immensurable vastness populated by billions and billions of stars grouped inside several million or more galaxies. No less is our wonder when scientists have found unpredictable behavior of electrons at the quantum field that is determined by the intention of the observer opening up the question of how much do we define reality. A similar experience of admiration surges when one sees an animation of the neural activity of the brain showing the firing of thousands of neuron sparks dispersing a million and more electrical impulses filled with biological information required for the body to perform continuously in a never-ending, life-sustaining energy current. No less is the admiration one must admit before the complexity of a human or animal organ, a single cell, a DNA strand, or even a gene. All these physical realities contain a mini universe as grandiose and complex as the one shown by the photos taken by the Hubble space telescope. If all the above levels of perception were not enough, there is also the human realm of emotions, intuitions, insights, imagination, creativity, moral judgments and immoral behaviors. He manifests deceit, sacrifice beyond explanation, unconditional love and unbearable hatred, all mixed in a reality that seems to be far too complex to be fully understood, controlled, or directed. Before this mind boggling universe, is there in Creation a Universal Principle that can give us a point of view from which we can obtain a minimum sense of understanding of where we are at in the cosmic dance of our existence? This book-essay makes an effort to find and present the reader with such Universal Principle. Welcome to discover it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romans 14:1: “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.” Paul wrote about accepting, welcoming, and making allowances for those who are not exactly like us. We need to accept and love them even if they are weak in faith, and not argue about what they think is right or wrong. Paul wasn’t talking about putting up with each other, but loving and accepting each other as God loves and accepts us. We still deal with issues in the Church in these days. It is sometimes easy to become judgmental. The Word of God is clear on this (Romans 14:10).

Download or read book Preaching to a Divided Nation written by Matthew D. Kim and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in angry times. No matter where we go, what we watch, or how we communicate, our culture is rife with division and polarization. Unfortunately, Christians appear to be caught up in the same animosity as the culture at large. While our faith calls us to Christian unity, the hard fact remains: our churches are tragically divided across class, ethnic, gender, and political lines. As these social chasms grow--both inside and outside the church--the role of the preacher becomes paramount. This book issues a prophetic call to pastors to use the influence of their pulpits to promote reconciliation and unity in their churches and communities. Two scholar-practitioners who are experts in homiletics and reconciliation present a practical, 7-step model that empowers faithful leaders to bring healing and peace to their fractured churches and world. The book includes questions for reflection, salient illustrations, and an accountability covenant. It also includes useful appendixes on preaching themes, preaching texts, and sample sermons from three leading preachers: Ralph Douglas West, Rich Villodas, and Sandra Maria Van Opstal.
