Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Self-love & self-care are two very important attributes to living a healthy life. We must be responsible for our well being and happiness.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sheldon Webster's recognition of our obligation to our veterans and particularly to Gold Star families who have sacrificed so much inspired Sheldon to create the Burton Place Veterans Chapel and Library. In this book, he not only tells the story of his remembrance of the service of our veterans and particularly the service of four of his close friends who made the ultimate sacrifice but he also relates his spiritual journey through the development of this project. Even though the hand of God is always at work in our lives, we often do not see it. But the reader will be amazed to see how God worked and who and what He used to fulfil His plans for the Burton Place Veterans Chapel and Library. Interspersed with stories of war heroes, interesting characters and others who provided funds, materials, and construction labor for the Chapel, Sheldon Webster's narrative clearly identifies significant events that could only be the unseen hand of God working out the establishment and the completion of the Chapel. While any one of the events described by Sheldon may appear to some as having happened by chance, there occurred in succession too many events necessary to complete the Chapel that can only be explained by God being in every detail of the Burton Place Veterans Chapel and Library. The reader is left with not just this specific truth but also with the truth that God is good and seeks our good for us, which truth should encourage us in our faith and give us perseverance and hope in all matters, both small and great, not only for ourselves but for our nation and all mankind.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If you enjoy books by Brene' Brown, Adam Grant, and James Clear, you will love this book. If you have been searching for a leadership training or coaching guide that fits your unique situation, look no further.In Crossing Meridians: Engineering Disruption to Become a More Effective Leader, the author shares her tested approach to leadership enrichment and provides a workbook to help leaders plan and own their development journey. The author thoughtfully shows aspiring to mid-career leaders how to own their career success, moving from their familiar ways of working and thinking to heightened leadership. With her Crossing Meridians approach, which is both a mindset and a method, the author provides the framework for a deeply personal, step-by-step approach to leadership development that guides leaders through learning cycles. Whether you are a new manager or a leader who needs to sharpen your leadership skills, Crossing Meridians can help you. In the book, leaders are encouraged to engineer their own disruption-taking on uncomfortable, more complex development actions that allow them to cross divides while gaining the essential leadership capabilities of empathy, openness, and resiliency. Leaders are shown how to define their Beginning Meridians, those early, pervasive influences that shape us. And they are shown how to envision their larger leadership and target, select, and execute development actions that move them from their Beginning Meridians to their New Meridians.The author also draws the connection between the Crossing Meridians leadership development method and today's real world challenges. She makes the case that organizations today are presented with a myriad of pressing issues, like social and racial justice, that they cannot ignore. With increased expectations and scrutiny from customers, employees, communities, and partners, organizations have made significant promises that require strong leadership to deliver on those promises. The author shows how leaders that have crossed meridians are invaluable to these organizations because of their heightened leadership agility and insights borne of learning through disruption and discomfort. To help readers plan their leadership development, the author has included a workbook. It is where leaders can assess, distill, reimagine, plan, act, and repeat on their journey to becoming more effective leaders.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When it comes to the Bible, many people find some of the concepts difficult to understand. There is so much to learn and to understand. Even those who have lived a faith-based life may find it difficult to understand some of its history, especially in the context of the culture in which it was written.Author Doug Tweed's book Be with Jesus, Be Like Jesus, Be for Jesus: A Path to Christian Maturity and the Next Great Awakening is insightful and biblically rooted. It is both an important book and an easily remembered motto for Christians seeking personal spiritual maturity and a great awakening in our nation and world. With the support of over 575 scripture citations, Tweed persuasively asserts that the key to both maturity and revival is agape love that focuses on three things: (1) intimacy, (2) sanctification, and (3) mission. Be with Jesus, Be Like Jesus, Be for Jesus: A Path to Christian Maturity and the Next Great Awakening, uses historical and cultural lenses to prepare you for the next Great Awakening as well as to live a better, more faith-filled life in the present.
