Know Yourself, Forget Yourself
Author: Marc Lesser
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608680827
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Our brains seek order and resist the unexpected, inconsistent, and counterintuitive. But life is more often paradoxical than predictable — which is why formulas for fulfillment and success often fail. Instead of fighting the tide of contradiction and confusion, Marc Lesser asserts, we can learn to understand and even embrace them using the simple tools he presents in these pages. Readers learn to master five core competencies: Know Yourself, Forget Yourself; Be Confident, Question Everything; Fight for Change, Accept What Is; Embrace Emotion, Embody Equanimity; and Benefit Others, Benefit Yourself. The result is balance, a version of Buddhism’s “middle way,” which prompts understanding of what is required in any given moment and actions through which we skillfully “dance” with paradox in enriching and joyful ways. Bolstered by the latest in neuroscience, this guide is nuanced and direct, profound and practical.

Less
Author: Marc Lesser
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577318412
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
A certain kind of busyness is crucial to life, allowing us to earn a living, create art, and achieve success. But too often it consumes us and we become crazy busy, nonstop busy, and we expend extraneous effort that gets us nowhere. Marc Lesser’s new book shows us the benefits of doing less in a world that has increasingly embraced more — more desire, more activity, more things, more exhaustion. Less is about stopping, about the possibility of finding composure in the midst of activity. The ideas and practices that Lesser outlines offer a radical yet simple approach to transforming a lifestyle based on endless to-do lists into a more meaningful approach that is truly more productive in every sense.

Her Husband Is Known in the Gates
Author: Bernadine Bigner Cantrell
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1615795596
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
"I am of the conviction that a person's writings are a reflection of their character. I know Bernadine Cantrell to be a woman with a deep love for her Savior and a deep commitment to the body of Christ. Her book will inspire you to be the person that Christ called you to be when no one is looking. Read it, and be blessed!" Pastor Johnny Hunt, First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia President, Southern Baptist Convention, 2008 - 2010 "I believe if the contents of this book are applied, marriages will flourish and families will prosper." Sonny Perdue, Governor of Georgia, 2003 - 2011 "When I read this book, I was so excited. Although it speaks to women of successful husbands and the issues they face, what I saw was how it spoke to me as a believer and to our church as a part of the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bernadine presents valuable principles which can guide individual believers and the Church in how to become a successful bride for the Lord." Philip McMinn, Pastor, 1960-2007 "I personally believe this is the best book on being a Godly wife I have ever read! The focus is on what the Lord expects of us as women. As a Pastor's wife, I believe this book should be required reading as a part of pre-marriage counseling!" Mrs. Kenny (Terrie) Chinn, Pastor's wife, Wilmington, N.C. Bernadine shares the wife's role in helping her husband be all that God wants him to be. A wife's primary responsibility is her thinking which leads to right or wrong attitudes and actions. Bernadine would like for others to learn from her mistakes and her correct actions. With many years of marriage, teaching and mentoring others, her transparency reveals that she has been where you may be.

Human Wholeness
Author: Mark G. Boyer
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498220363
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
Imagine a rope braided out of seven strands of twine, forming a circle so that even the ends of the rope are woven together. That is an image of human wholeness. This book proposes seven aspects to human wholeness: intellectual, psychological, emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual, and aesthetic. After examining each of these aspects, this work presents a spirituality of relationship. It also explores how human wholeness is a basis for relationship. Two people relating to each other out of each person's wholeness provide the occasion for an experience of the divine. All relationships begin with some connectivity to an aspect of human wholeness. As both parties enter more deeply into their relationship, more connectivity is achieved. By reflecting on the experiences of one's life in dialogue with a trusted friend, a person discovers the freedom to be who he or she is in the presence of the other and receives back the gift he or she offers to the other in total freedom. This transcendent aspect of a relationship can enable friends to discover God in each other, as each other. Jesus serves as a model for human relating; in him all aspects are woven together into a whole human being.

Finding Stability in Uncertain Times
Author: Ron Higdon
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631994670
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
What should you do when everything seems to be shifting and you can’t find solid ground? Some try to pretend the shifting things are truly solid. Some cling to things that cannot provide security. In this practical book, author and pastor Ronald Higdon suggests we find the really stable things and learn to handle and grow from the things that must change. He brings to this process a lifetime of experience and deep theological reflection. The result is a practical survival guide to living a faithful life in a changing world. Some of the topics he addresses include continuing to learn throughout our lives, relationships, the manipulation of our lives by anger and fear, the reality of evil, and yes, the fact that change is inevitable no matter how hard we fight it. Each chapter includes questions for further study and thought, making the book suitable for use in group study as well as for individual reading. Finding Stability in Uncertain Times will be useful to all those who are struggling in their Christian walk. Who can say that they are living without any struggle?
