It was put in her thoughts to start a Prayer Call for people who couldn't get out to Church during the week. This call would be every Monday at 8:00 am CST. In March 2016 Elder Shirley Rice joined our Prayer Group. She Blessed us with the name Wake Up To Praise and went to Crown Point Indiana to legally get the rights to that name. Later we started a Bible Study Class on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm CST. Elder Shirley taught our first class, Minister Adrienne Watson taught our second class. Every week we would have a different pastor speak from different states. Among them was Lady Pat's husband Bishop Alfonso Boone.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Career Directioning is a method of seeking your perfect job based upon your values, abilities and personality - not just another job The purpose of this book is to assist you in discovering the best right career for you. If you are searching for a more satisfying career, have been downsized, feel as though by changing jobs you will increase your earning power or you are starting your first job search the techniques in this book will help. This book is designed in a workbook format to assist you in your career management. You will find that each chapter builds on the previous chapter. The book begins by describing the emotional stages that we go through whenever there is a job loss It's truly amazing how many of us lose sight of what we once were planning on doing with our career or worse yet have difficulty in describing what our ideal job would look like. I have spent my career listening to people say how dissatisfied they were with their jobs and careers. When I ask them what their passion is they often cannot answer what that could be. Do you know what your passion is for an occupation? Are you living the life that you want? Are you employed in a position that is unfulfilling? Are you looking for a career change? Have you been a victim of downsizing? It has been said that the only true success in life is to have lived life in your own way. What would life be like if you lived your life in your own way? When was the last time that you thought about it? Did you have a dream like most of us as you were growing up to be or to do something and life got in the way? Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get up tomorrow and go to work in a position where you would feel as though you are contributing something to the organization? Or being employed where you are appreciated for what you do? Or better yet, work in a position that you know you are making a difference? Life is too short to spend time in a career that is not fulfilling. Too many people ask themselves what kind of job or career would be best for them. Why is it that we focus on the what rather than the how? Well, it is possible, but you must make it happen. You can't wait for employers to come to you. You have to take charge of the direction of your career direction yourself. What is your rationale for reading this book? Could it be one of the following? *You are searching for a more satisfying career. *You have been downsized from a job. *You are starting you first job search. *Feelings like your opportunities for growth are limited where you are presently. *There is a basic conflict of values on the job. *You are a Baby Boomer and are now seeking a career that you hope will be more satisfying than what you have done so far in life. *There has been a significant life event that is propelling you to make a career change. It could be something like a near death experience, divorce, turning 40 or 50, or physically unable to do the job that you have done in the past. *You feel as though by changing jobs you will increase your earning power. *You would like to pursue a dream or complete a mission. *Maybe you were fired or laid off and need to make a career change. *You have retired and now are seeking a rewarding career that you would enjoy more. *You have climbed the corporate ladder and your priorities have changed. Often we allow corporations or organizations to manage our careers. In my private career coaching practice I have helped literally thousands of individuals who have allowed corporations to totally control their lives and when they have been job eliminated or the company is acquired by another public traded corporation they find themselves searching for a new direction with their career. I feel privileged like other career coaches to help people realize their dreams. The chapters are deliberately sequenced in a logical order so that each chapter builds upon the previous one. Hopefully this book will help you find your.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Don't fret about me, brother. In a few years I might heal inside and be ready for some more of Africa. These words of quiet hope from Joseph C. Shenk to his brother-in-law, Omar Eby, terminate nearly twenty years of correspondence. Captivated by his honest, joyous and painful narrative we expect more-perhaps the ending of a novel. Or wouldn't that be less-some fictional typing up of all loose ends? Instead, we follow Joe's unfinished trek through the wild beauty of his Tanzanian homeland as he teaches at a secondary school in Musoma and then at a theological college in Bukiroba from 1963-1976, interrupted only by a year back in Pennsylvania. A desk job in Nairobi from 1976 to 1981 brings with it the freedom and comfort of a modern city. His great joy: no one intrudes upon the family. Excerpts from the 238 letters in Rafiki: Letters to Omar draw the reader more deeply into Joe's life, defined by impossible conflicts born of missionaries, the home office, and a new African church. No wonder that he confesses, I repent of trying to find a solution to our problems. Decades before diversity and peace building evolved into fashionable cliches, Joe was witness to the psychic costs of internalized conflict. I am two different people. I try to keep both parts of me honest, he writes. But that whole mixture of agony and ecstasy, captured in a thousand details of American money, African protocol, a father-son relationship with the African Bishop, mud roads, flat tires, safari landscapes and tsetse flies-all that yields to hope born anew and nourished by small moments. Great chunks have been omitted from Joe's letters to Omar, to protect the living and the guilty, the editor writes in the Preface. All references to Eby's life have also been eliminated. These letters reflect solely the inimitable Joseph C. Shenk, the Joe of his young second-generation missionary years: his musings on being a husband, a father of four daughters, a teacher in a theological college, a student of the African psyche, a confidant of the first African Mennonite Bishop in Tanzania. Here, too one reads of Joe's delight in motorcycle safaris and his joy of being in village Africa. Wrote all this to one good friend. Omar Eby feels he is a most fortunate recipient of Joe's confidence and grace. In the conclusion to his Preface, Eby writes: I am keenly aware that the full dimensions of a person are not manifested in correspondence with only one person. May no one take offense at anything Joe wrote. He did not know that one day others would read his letters to his rafiki, Omar. If the reader is angered, blame Joe's editor. If the reader is blessed, give thanks that once there was a good man who believed in a friendship worthy of letters.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. I've lived eighty years and experienced much of what is written in this book. Some really happened and some are the figments of my very fertile imagination. It's about love, life, and death. It's also about living in and around Charleston, South Carolina, during and after World War I. It's about fishing in the rivers and lakes, which, at that time, were teeming with fish and other wildlife. It's funny, it's profound, and it's thought provoking, perhaps influenced to a large extent by the writings of the great Lewis Grizzard. It's about laughing and crying with my friends-many times about myself. As Mr. Shakespeare said, Laugh and the world laughs with you . . . cry and you cry alone. So enjoy this book as we go through life smiling together.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Sons of Heaven is an epic novel set against the backdrop of one of modern history's most haunting events: the Tiananmen Square Massacre. In June of 1989, the world watched in horror as China's military was mobilized to suppress a student movement that stood for peaceful democracy. Hundreds were killed; others say into the thousands. No one knows for sure. But the image that remains most powerful is that of a lone young man, looking confused yet terribly brave, as he held his ground before a rolling line of tanks. Who was he, and why did he do what he did? No one has ever been able to determine his identity or fate. Within the pages of Sons of Heaven, in a stunning blend of history and fiction, Terrence Cheng has vividly created for this young hero a life, and given him a voice. Cheng constructs the young man's life as he goes away to America to complete his education. He falls in love with a beautiful young American girl who opens to him a free life filled with opportunity. When he returns to China he becomes embittered and disillusioned; only the potential for political change seems to revive him. Also portrayed is the story of the young man's older brother, an ardent member of the Red Army, who is ordered to capture his sibling. In the end, their political differences turn deadly. On one level this is a novel of history as played out in modern China, but first and foremost, it is about the universal ties of family and the difficult process of boys learning to become men. Cheng also scrutinizes the life and history of Deng Xiaoping, China's leader who is suspected of giving the final order to turn the People's Army against its own people. What historical and politicalfactors affected his decisions that fateful summer? Was Deng the monster that the world made him out to be? An unsettling and powerfully lacerating story of family, faith, and courage, Sons of Heaven weaves the lives of peasants and soldiers, politicians and gods, into a timeless snapshot of one of history's most memorable and heartrending events. With this unforgettable, psychologically acute novel, Terrence Cheng confirms that he is a daring and important new voice in fiction.…
