Book Description
"What's in The Well Comes Up in The Bucket" is a book which deals with personal growth and development. The metaphor of The Well reflects what is deep inside all of us. It describes how our thoughts and emotions end up in our well. Much of those thoughts are our reaction to the thoughts and words of others. And we either reinforce those thoughts or cleanse them. The bucket represents what comes out of our well by the way we speak, act, and think. We are always in control, whether we realize it not. The story is also a personal and transformational journey: a journey of discovery and awareness that each us must undertake in order to answer our personal questions about our lives, our purpose, and our passion. The truth will not make you free. It is only when we know the truth, can we be free. And knowing the truth is vital. We are all creatures of habit. And once we realize these habits control our thoughts and actions the truth about ourselves will be revealed to us. Then we have a choice to make: to live by our truth or by our habits.

A Table in the Wilderness
Author: Thom Rock
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498218253
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
The joyful premise at the heart of this book is that there is a table lavishly spread for all who hunger for forgiveness--the believer, the doubter, and the famished. The book's journey begins and ends with this assertion: not only is there a table of forgiveness set for us in the many wildernesses of life, there is a seat waiting for each and every one of us at that table. What matters is whether we take that seat and, if so, how we behave at the feast. Rooted in the notion of journeying, of setting out each day to discover some new vista along the many paths to the banquet hall of forgiveness, A Table in the Wilderness draws upon the wisdom of multiple religious traditions, as well as non-religious sources, in order to gain perspective on this long misunderstood subject. Readers are just as likely to encounter Dr. Seuss as they are to read the words of Sri Ramakrishna or Saint Augustine along the way. Anyone who has ever been hurt or has hurt another will find this book a helpful guide.

God Moments

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Where do you seek God? Are you waiting for him to appear in a monumental, life-altering event? In God Moments, Catholic blogger Andy Otto shows you how to discover the unexpected beauty of God’s presence in the story of ordinary things and in everyday routines like preparing breakfast or walking in the woods. Drawing on the Ignatian principles of awareness, prayer, and discernment, Otto will help you discover the transforming power of God’s presence in your life and better understand your place in the world. Andy Otto found God’s presence in surprising moments during his life—when, as a Jesuit scholastic, he taught children in Jamaica and also as he discerned the call to marriage with his wife. By combining elements of Ignatian spirituality with the lessons that came from his experiences, Otto identified three practices that helped him find God in all things: Awareness—Gain an understanding that God is present in the ordinary messiness of our lives such as battle with depression or sharing in the struggle of a friend. Prayer—Develop a prayer life using Ignatian practices such as asking for a morning grace and examining how your prayer was answered at the end of the day. That way you can focus on a personal relationship with God that finds everyday physical activities such as making a meal as an opportunity to talk to him. Discernment—The more you are aware of God’s presence and draw closer to him in prayer, the better you can learn how to plug into God’s narrative of the world in a way that enables you to participate in the divine story through the use of your gifts and talents. With God Moments as a guide, you’ll have a better understanding of how to seek personal wholeness in the reality of God’s presence in the ordinary and learn to accept his invitation to participate in his transformation of the world.

How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids

Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
An illustrated adaptation of the long-running bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket? (more than 400,000 copies sold) for kids — told through the story of a boy who learns a valuable “bucket filling” metaphor and watches it come to life as the day unfolds. Every moment matters. Each of us has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it’s empty, we feel awful. Yet most children (and many adults) don’t realize the importance of having a full bucket throughout the day. In How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids, Felix begins to see how every interaction in a day either fills or empties his bucket. Felix then realizes that everything he says or does to other people fills or empties their buckets as well. Follow along with Felix as he learns how easy it can be to fill the buckets of his classmates, teachers and family members. Before the day is over, you’ll see how Felix learns to be a great bucket filler, and in the process, discovers that filling someone else’s bucket also fills his own.

Book Description
Prolific author, college and seminary professor, and co-founder of Liberty University, Elmer Towns has written a second Teaching Series consisting of six profound books designed to stir your spirit and increase your biblical knowledge.

Books to follow include: The Ten Commandments According to Jesus; 7 Indispensable Words for Effective Prayers; Habits of the Heart; When God Is Silent; What Is Right? Intriguing titles with even more intriguing content. Being a grandparent is one of the most fulfilling experiences in life—fulfilling God's cycle of life placed within every person. when godly grandparents pass along their Christian heritage to another generation, those grandchildren can carry on that legacy, and on and on it goes, each family perpetuating God's plan to grow His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. In this book you will learn how: Jacob was confronted by God; and at the end his life, he passed on a holy heritage to his grandchildren. Naomi and her husband turned their backs on God. But she returned to her godly roots and raised her grandson for God—who became the grandfather of King David. Asa’s father, grandfather, and grandmother were evil influences. Yet in spite of an ungodly heritage, Asa led the people back to God. Noah was a man of faith who built a boat and saved the world. Both the positive and negative impacts of Grandfather Noah are seen in this chapter. Lois raised her daughter Eunice to live for God. With very little support, the grandmother and mother trained Timothy to became a godly leader in the early church. Paul produced Timothy who produced a third generation who produced a fourth generation of Christians (2 Timothy 2:2). Designed for maximum reading pleasure as well as study enjoyment, Grandparents in the Bible provides in Part One: in-depth character stories and take-away lessons. Part Two offers 50 Daily Devotions focused on relevant Scriptures and space to write your personal reflections.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
A Blueprint for Building a Love that Lasts Marriage begins with visions of eternal love, hope, and happiness. Yet, even among Christians, hope too quickly fades. The happiness dims. And love seems too hard to sustain. It doesn’t have to be that way. God designed marriage to be a satisfying, fulfilling relationship, and He created men and women so that they–together, and as one flesh–could reflect His love for the world. Marriage, when lived out as God intended, makes us complete, it brings us joy, and gives our lives fresh meaning. In this study, you’ll examine God’s design for marriage, and you’ll learn, from the Designer’s perspective, what it means to be a godly husband or wife. You’ll discover biblical wisdom for pursuing harmony in difficult areas such as finances, communication, and respect for each other’s roles. Most important, you’ll learn the principles you need to build a love that lasts.

Story-Based Selling
Author: Jeff Bloomfield
Publisher: SelectBooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1590792637
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
As a founder of a successful organization that trains and develops sales professionals, Jeff Bloomfield has given a lot of thought to why customers say “yes.” In Story-Based Selling: Create, Connect, and Close, Mr. Bloomfield says it’s really no mystery. People buy from people they trust. They trust people they like, and they like people they connect to. And he believes that storytelling is the best way for salespeople—and all of us—to immediately connect to a customer’s feelings of trust and liking. He thinks teaching sales professionals to close a deal by presenting their product, probing its mutual benefits, and overcoming the customer’s objections and skepticism, is a waste of time. Instead, he urges them to tell a great story. Mr. Bloomfield calls upon the latest research in neuroscience to explain the process of communication. The truth is that during the salesperson’s engagement with clients, people quickly base their decisions on how they feel, not the way they think, so trying to persuade someone by first imparting lifeless facts and figures is self-defeating. In fact, this information goes right to an area of the listener’s brain (the left brain) that drives doubt and skepticism. To make a deal we need to connect with the parts of the customer’s brain that inspire emotions of trust and empathy. By telling a story, we can immediately connect to these good “gut” feelings and drive away the client’s fear of “being sold. Mr. Bloomfield tells his own engaging stories while teaching step-by-step techniques of intentional storytelling—to create a fast connection with the listener, no matter who is buying or what a person wants to sell.
