Life Lessons of Wisdom & Motivation - Volume II
Author: M.I. Seka
Publisher: Providential Press
ISBN: 1310009147
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
A compilation of quotations and proverbs from the most enlightened, intelligent, and forward thinkers in human history regarding the most important aspects of life. Compiled and arranged to give the reader a clear direction in their life based on their internal needs, wants, and desires. While no one on Earth is special, everyone is unique. Nobody past, present, or future has gone through or has had the same thoughts and experiences as you, nor will they in the future. As a result, you see the world in a completely unique way. Studying these volumes will guide your mind's eye in distinguishing the most significant passages to you and your being as well as reaffirming or contradicting what you already know and believe, by the wisest people throughout history. Out of the thousands of quotes and proverbs within these volumes, your personality will subconsciously pick out the most relevant quotes and proverbs to you and you alone. It would be a mistake to concentrate on only one topic because all the subjects are connected to aid you in reaching your own epiphany. Many of the most profound quotes and proverbs are recorded under various topics throughout the book. Though you may only be interested in "Success & Failure," many of the quotes and proverbs attributed to success can also be found under "Leadership," "Attitude," or even "Life, Purpose, & Growth," for example. The aim of this huge collection of human wisdom is enlightenment: to assist the readers in realizing what is truly important in life, as well as to find their true self; to shatter the illusions that everyone builds for themselves through false assumptions and stereotypes; to find their true inner being; to find purpose; and, most importantly, to discover what makes them and them alone happy. To receive the full benefit of these volumes and to fully immerse yourself in self-discovery, you must commit to studying the entire collection. If you only want to scratch the surface of what is important in life, then limit yourself to a single volume. But if you want to master your true purpose, then study all four volumes.

Finding JOY in Cancer
Author: Dennis Docheff, Ed.D.
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Finding JOY in Cancer chronicles my battle with cancer, spanning approximately one year—from diagnosis to treatment to recovery. Throughout the book, I share plenty of stories from my life and some meaningful quotes as well as selected Bible verses. I was healthy and happy most of my life. At the age of fifty-two, I was diagnosed with leukemia. Although we beat leukemia, ever since then, I seemed to always be sick. About thirteen years later, cancer stuck its nose into my life. It was cancer of the throat. Thinking like a lifelong sport coach and coach educator, I knew I needed a game plan. I decided that for me to survive this fight with throat cancer, I needed a positive mindset and a game plan with God by my side. I knew I needed Him to help me through this adversity. My focus was to be on a bit of Scripture from James 1:2–3: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” How was I going to find JOY in cancer? Somehow God grabbed my heart and, in essence, said, “Come along with me, son.” I was determined to somehow find JOY in this killer. We fought it. We beat it. And I did find JOY throughout the entire cancer experience. That inspired me to share my story with others. The purpose is to communicate my experience to share how God took a hold of me and practically carried me through my treatment and recovery. It is hoped that this short book will allow the reader to think about how he or she might find JOY when encountering trials and adversity.

Jesus Christ M.D.~The Awesome Power of Blending Medicine and Religion for Healing
Author: Jerry Old MD
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1640286594
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Do ancient religious practices help in healing today? Is prayer of benefit? If so, what kind of prayers? What about "laying on of hands" or "casting out demons?" Over three-fourths of patients entering a hospital wish that their health-care providers would consider their spiritual needs as part of their medical care. Yet, most patients-along with their health-care professionals-struggle to understand how to use this spiritual side in healing. Modern healthcare is based upon science and often sees religion as getting in the way of healing. However, when humans combine our religious and spiritual nature with the science of modern medicine, we have the most powerful tool for healing the world has ever known. This book dares to explore this very personal aspect of human life that has had very little written about it-the private spiritual beliefs that people share with their doctors, spiritual advisors, and families when they are ill, injured, or frightened about their health. Here are the true stories of how people have used their spiritual side for healing. Many will mystify and give us chills!
