Book Description
Through a glass darkly is a peculiar phrase. It implies that we can’t comprehend reality through the lens of personal experience. While the Bible offers worthwhile principles for living, it is not a reference of authority to someone who hasn’t acknowledged it as truth. So rather than wrestle with ideology, let’s change the focus and consider ourselves as evidence of a Divine Personality! Because I Made You That Way presents twelve contentions for the way God designed you to recognize Him. This book offers an explanation for why God made you the way you are—not your flesh and bone, but your mind, will and spirit. Topics are grouped in three sections: How You Were Born, What You Have, and What You Want. In these chapters you’ll find thoughts and ideas that drive home each point with tongue-in-cheek humor along the way. This book was written for men seeking focus and validation of the Christian message. It is pragmatic, including “Deal With It” study questions to provoke thought and discussion. Because I Made You That Way is a spiritual commentary that explores human nature and the way that perceptions influence a man’s world view. Ultimately it attests that human nature directs us to the personality of God.

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101524383
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Come with me as I take you on an intimate and candid journey through my life. You may be wondering what makes my life so special that warrants you reading this book. Well, my life has been eventful thus far and I think its been quite amazing. And Im not just saying that because its been my life. As I begin with my adoption, you might just shed a tear as you discover how I was chosen. It truly was an incredible culmination of Heavenly influence. You may find yourself laughing out loud as I share the best memories I had growing up and growing old. Count how many times I somehow managed to escape a variety of harrowing experiences unscathed. Not to spoil the plot, but its because God has always been right by my side. Sit next to me when I was told I was adopted. See how I chose to react and youll be astonished at how God introduced me to my biological mother. Yes, God made it possible to meet her. And how it happened is nothing short of mind-blowing. Look through my eyes and witness the power of God Ive felt and how I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that God is real. Youll even get to find out what happened to my cat, Queso. But my life wasnt always so great. Stroll with me as I re-live my nightmares and see how I dealt with everything life has thrown at me. Sit ringside as I duke it out and eventually come to terms with my sexuality - and my religion. You may even learn a thing or two as I give my perspective on what the Bible says about being gay and decide for yourself if I really was: Made This Way.
