Pages : 539
Book Description
My personal expression of thoughts that lie within the pages of this your book are UNREVISED and therefore remain unchanged and offer you the reality of this father's impressions of life's excitement. The heroes within the one-paged presentations of philosophy, love and intimate romance, war, poetry, shorties, and my lessons learned experiences are about you and me within life's spectrum of activities. Striving for and finding HAPPINESS is a theme throughout the book with an excitement of action, which has a similarity to a WILL ROGERS or MARK TWAIN adventure. I have been compelled to write inspirational and thought-inducing stories with moral fiber resulting from my awesome OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE, occurring during the VIETNAM WAR following a bullet wound through my chest. Why I, an infantry grunt, reentered my lifeless body with a newness of LIFE AND ENERGY, I questioned. WHY! One significant reason for my rebirth is to share my views of WAR'S intensity, devastation, and our alternatives to war with you. Also, I need to share with the world now and throughout the ARCHIVES OF TIME why LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS.

A Theology of James, Peter, and Jude
Author: Peter H. Davids
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310519438
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
In this volume, Peter Davids offers a comprehensive study of the General or Catholic Epistles of James, 1-2 Peter, and Jude, which are often insufficiently covered in more general New Testament introductions, theologies, and surveys. Before discussing a theology of each of the four letters, Davids first deals with their common aspects—their shared background in the Greco-Roman world and a similar Christology, view of the source of sin, and eschatology—thus justifying their being treated together. In the chapters that follow, Davids embarks upon a theological reading of each letter informed by its social-rhetorical understanding—what they meant in the context of their original cultural settings—including: a survey of recent scholarship, a discussion of relevant introductory issues, a thematic commentary, a treatment of important theological themes, and a discussion of the place of the letter in the biblical canon and its contribution to New Testament theology. The Biblical Theology of the New Testament (BTNT) series provides upper college and seminary-level textbooks for students of New Testament theology, interpretation, and exegesis. Pastors and discerning theology readers alike will also benefit from this series. Written at the highest level of academic excellence by recognized experts in the field, the BTNT series not only offers a comprehensive exploration of the theology of every book of the New Testament, including introductory issues and major themes, but also shows how each book relates to the broad picture of New Testament theology.

Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
People ask how can they have a better life? People are seeking joy, happiness, and the stability of both. Bring the Seven laws of living into the foreground of life--peace, purpose and prosperity is yours! Life is the genesis of a great experience on earth--the soul journey. Much of these ideas, beliefs, or general knowledge of how to operate on a productive level were lost long ago. The great distraction by those separated and dark-hearted with a willingness to stop others. Worldly wealth is a by-product of right thinking, feeling, and really magnetizing all resources to serve your purpose. Continue on a disconnected path of I want, I cannot see, and I have pain. Then, nothing can be restored on a path of enlightenment. All are miscommunications with life application and the soul. What does that mean? Much has come against you in the world of stuff--structural hindrances. Also, the unseen works to keep you in a state of fear, panic, and flight. Live without limits! Live the immortal viewpoints of life. Free yourself! The author is revealing Jesus' own words and viewpoints on these key universal laws and all biblical applications for all people, not by religion, race, color or creed. All have a God-given inheritance called purpose. Live by his invitation of application of dimensional and universal power through the seven laws of living. Then, peace, purpose, and prosperity is the outcome of your immortal nature. God and Jesus desire all to join us. The great revealing is at hand--God's hand. The light of your life is to be reinstated. Join in the awareness of your greatness! You need only claim the gift of his covenant to start living in your heart. A gift from my heart to yours! --Jesus/ Jeshuah/ God/ I AM/ Source

The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Author: Thomas R. Lynch
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 162625933X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 978
Book Description
Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a groundbreaking, transdiagnostic treatment model for clients with difficult-to-treat overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this is the first and only session-by-session training manual to help you implement this evidence-based therapy in your practice. As a clinician, you’re familiar with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and its success in treating clients with emotion dysregulation disorders. But what about clients with overcontrol disorders? OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder. In this training manual, you’ll find an outline of RO DBT, including history, research, and how it differs from traditional DBT. You’ll also find a session-by-session RO DBT outpatient treatment protocol, with sections that outline the weekly, one-hour individual therapy sessions and weekly two-and-a-half hour skills training classes that occur over a period of approximately thirty weeks. This includes instructor guidelines and user-friendly worksheets. The feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of RO DBT is evidence-based and informed by over twenty years of translational treatment development research. This important manual—along with its companion book, Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately), distills the essential components of RO DBT into a workable program you can start using right away to improve treatment outcomes for clients suffering with OC.
