Book Description
Many Christians suffer in silence with mental disorders because, for decades, popular culture has stigmatized mental health issues and the process of healing. For too long, the church culture has perpetuated the idea that prayer alone is the solution to mental disorders, and while this may be the case for some, for others, including Author Candace Writes, healing includes both Biblical and clinical principles.Breathe: Rest, Reflect, Reset is part Bible study, part memoir that outlines God's blueprint for healing. This book provides a practical, step-by-step guide to help readers curate a healthy, flourishing, and victorious lifestyle. Breathe journeys through the author's process of healing by way of scriptural and practical exercises. It includes soul-searching questions, journaling prompts, and interlaces her personal narrative while walking through the story of the Old Testament Prophet Elijah.If you are like many who experience depression, anxiety, or hopelessness, Breathe will help you take back your power, overcome the battles plaguing your mind, and dig deeper into the Word of God on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

Lean Acres
Author: Jim Bowie
Publisher: Quality Press
ISBN: 0873898095
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Change can be hard. It is often difficult to conceive performing tasks in a different order, in a different place, at a different time, or in a different manner altogether. And this is only for the individual. When we talk about organizational change the difficulty increases exponentially with each individual that is added to the equation. This book uses as its basis a fable - the story is not untrue, but it is not fact either. It is a story in which the group dynamics are real, the problems are valid, and the solutions legitimate. It asks you to consider a complex environment with multiple classes interacting between functional units with requirements that are perceived as exclusive and unique, and personalities that reinforce presumed boundaries. It asks you to follow along as all these individuals work together using the basics of four quality methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, and Business Process Reengineering) to address the problems they face, discover solutions together, and move forward in their continuous performance improvement journey. "Lean Acres is fantastic in its appeal and innovative in its writing style. Jim Bowie introduces an amazing convention by using talking animals on a farm ("Lean Acres Farm") to represent "real" stakeholders and teach Strategy and Process Improvement methodologies (Balanced Scorecard, the StrateTree, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, the Theory of Constraints, and Business Process Reengineering) in ways that are easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. His step-by-step guidance through the each tool and philosophy make this book essential for Leaders, Managers, Quality Professionals, and anyone interested in improving performance in any industry. The message is simple, the illustrations are an excellent complement to the story, and the Reader interaction (Pre- and Post-Tests coupled with Rest, Reflect, and Relate sections at the end of each chapter) reinforce education, application, and relevance. Take a trip to Lean Acres today - you will be better for it." Mikel J. Harry Co-creator of Six Sigma and best-selling author.

You're Only Human
Author: Kelly M. Kapic
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493435256
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep. The list of demands on our time seems to be never ending. It can leave you feeling a little guilty--like you should always be doing one more thing. Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic takes a different approach in You're Only Human. He offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all. Kapic explores the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency. He lays out a path to holistic living with healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world. He frees us from confusing our limitations with sin and instead invites us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community. Readers will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.

Quarantine Reflections
Author: Obioma Osae-Brown
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665530073
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
Ideas come from unexpected moments of inactivity. The pandemic created lots of free time to ponder and wonder, and often the mind was plagued with thoughts. The inspiration came from Facebook’s caption page, “What’s on your mind?.” Initially, it started as simple quotes, a few “likes” and comments, but grew into “Quarantine Reflections.” The editing and photography for the book was done by my son, Jordan who had just finished a study abroad program at Osaka University, Japan, and graduated with a B.A. from University of California, Riverside. It was a great way of inculcating the values of engagement, resilience, and vision. The pandemic has brought the toughest challenge in a generation, but has also brought the greatest stories of heroism, resiliency, camaraderie, and human dependency. As you ponder on the various thoughts in this book, it is hoped you will find, feel, and dwell on the things that influence us as humans, or the mantras to build character, integrity, and passion. The charge is to seize every opportunity in life as a call to make a difference.
