The Priority List
Author: David Menasche
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476743460
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
In this “beautiful, heartfelt, and ultimately important story about love, kinship, gratitude, and miracles” (Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author), a beloved high school English teacher with terminal brain cancer undertakes a cross-country journey to reunite with his former students in order to find out if he made a difference and discovers what is truly important in life along the way. David Menasche lived for his work as a high school English teacher. His passion inspired his students, and between lessons on Shakespeare and sentence structure, he forged a unique bond with his kids, buoying them through personal struggles while sharing valuable life lessons. When brain cancer ultimately stole David’s vision, memory, mobility, and—most tragically of all—his ability to continue teaching, he was devastated by the thought that he would no longer have the chance to impact his students’ lives each day. But teaching was something Menasche just couldn’t give up. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. He turned to Facebook with an audacious plan: a journey across America—by bus, by train, by red-tipped cane—in hopes of seeing firsthand how his kids were faring in life. Had he made a difference? Within forty-eight hours of posting, former students in more than fifty cities replied with offers of support and shelter. Traveling more than eight thousand miles from Miami to New York, and visiting hundreds of his students, David’s fearless journey explores the things we all want and need out of life—family, security, independence, love, adventure—and forces us to stop to consider what truly matters in life. Evocative, moving, and inspirational, Priority List “is a rousing testimony to the ways in which, in the face of death, living fully in the present moment becomes possible” (Publishers Weekly).

Book Description
Priorities: Reaching the Life God Intended grew out of Dr. Mark Ballard's long-term study and experience. He said, "I'm passionate about helping you discover your God-given priorities. I believe priorities will do for you what they did for me." For Ballard, priorities changed an expected high school dropout into class valedictorian.

What can priorities do for you? Everyone has a limited amount of time, talents, and treasures. How are you using yours? Priorities will guide you to use rather than lose your time. Priorities will help you invest your talents and treasures wisely and effectively. Priorities was written to help you discover and accomplish your God-given priorities. You will learn a simple process drawn from Ballard's practical expositions of Haggai. Haggai prophesied to ancient people with contemporary priority problems. Ballard added insights from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with positive exhortations. You will be equipped to: - distinguish actual priorities from aspirational priorities; - make decisions based on personal priorities; - discover your life mission; - experience the joy and freedom of living out your God-given priorities; and - reach the life God intended.

This Life

Pages : 465
Book Description
Hägglund argues that a faith not in God or eternal life, but in the finite, temporal life we lead here on earth is one that gives that life far greater depth of meaning. In contrast to the traditional religious faith in eternity, he proposes a secular faith in the value of living in time. His book provides not only a critique of religious ideals, but also a positive, alternative understanding of the beliefs and values that can motivate us to live lives of meaning in the here and now. -- adapted from jacket
