Buy the Change You Want to See
Author: Jane Mosbacher Morris
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143133217
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Eager to change the world? Learn how you can have a greater social impact through your everyday purchases. The money we routinely spend on food, clothes, gifts, and even indulgences is an untapped superpower. What would happen if we slowed down to make more thoughtful decisions about what we buy? For "mom and pop" stores across the country, and artisan and agricultural communities around the world, every purchase matters. Consumers--whether individuals, small businesses, or corporations--are paying more attention than ever to how their goods are made; and retailers--large and small--are responding by investing in ethical and eco-friendly production. Yet figuring out which brands to support can feel overwhelming. Jane Mosbacher Morris has devoted her career to creating economic opportunities for vulnerable communities around the world, and in this valuable book, she shares her passion and insights on how we, as consumers, can create positive change too. Covering topics that range from why not all factories are evil, to how our morning coffee can be the easiest way for us to use our purchasing power for good, Buy the Change You Want to See makes us better informed consumers. Morris tells inspiring stories about how victims of human trafficking and natural disasters have been empowered by economic opportunity, and she offers practical ideas about how we can support these communities through our purchases--whether it comes to jewelry made from recycled materials in Haiti, sustainably grown and ethically sourced coffee and chocolate from farmers in some of the poorest regions of the world, or mass-produced jeans and shoes made in factories where workers are guaranteed decent working conditions and a fair wage.

Book Description
"The key message in "You Are Infinite, You Are Eternal, You Are God" is the most important wisdom anyone will learn in this life. The surprise, for many, is that this message has been affirmed throughout human history by our greatest visionaries, and is clearly implicit in certain areas of modern science. Mark Ellison's book is an important challenge to the deadening views of modern materialism. The earlier one acquires this teaching, the richer and happier life becomes. That is why his effort to inform young adults is crucial."~ Larry Dossey, MDAuthor: ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters"This is the story of the Cosmos, which is the story of God, which is the story of you. It is a breathtakingly epic journey through time and space, into eternity and divinity. Ancient history tells us. Indigenous cultures tell us. Enlightened masters, spiritual gurus, and modern philosophers tell us. And now modern science is finally catching up. The New Story of Cosmology is the overwhelming scientific evidence, that confirms what we have always intuitively known ? that We Are All One ? that the entire cosmos is one inextricably interconnected, and indivisible whole. As one with this whole then, You are not separate ? from me, from God, or from any ?other part? of creation. You are not a tiny, mortal shell in a sterile lifeless void. You are creation. You are Life itself. You are quite literally the extraordinarily magnificent One Whole All There Is. Put simply, The New Story of Cosmology is the radical scientific assuredness that:You Are Infinite,You Are Eternal,You Are God.And more importantly, You Are Me.This realisation will change your world.

How People Change
Author: Timothy S. Lane
Publisher: New Growth Press
ISBN: 1935273906
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
What does it take for lasting change to take root in your life? If you've ever tried, failed, and wondered what you could do differently, you need to read How People Change. In the book, biblical counseling experts Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp explain the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way you can apply to the challenges of daily life. But change involves much more than just a biblical formula: you will see how God is at work to make you the person you were created to be. That powerful, loving, redemptive relationship is at the heart of all positive change you experience. A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel, but many of us wonder if we'll ever see lasting change take root in our lives. When the Bible talks about the gift of a new heart, it doesn't mean a heart that is immediately perfected, but a heart that is capable of being changed. Jesus's work on the cross targets our hearts, our core desires and motivations, and when our hearts change, our behavior changes. How People Change targets the root of a person: the heart. When our core desires and motivations change, only then will behavior follow. Using a biblical model of Heat, Thorns, Cross, and Fruit, Paul David Tripp and Timothy S. Lane reveal how lasting change is possible. You don't need to be stuck anymore. In Christ, you are a new creation. The old has gone and the new has come. Includes a foreword by David Powlison.

You Must Change Your Life
Author: Peter Sloterdijk
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745694748
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 708
Book Description
In his major investigation into the nature of humans, Peter Sloterdijk presents a critique of myth - the myth of the return of religion. For it is not religion that is returning; rather, there is something else quite profound that is taking on increasing significance in the present: the human as a practising, training being, one that creates itself through exercises and thereby transcends itself. Rainer Maria Rilke formulated the drive towards such self-training in the early twentieth century in the imperative 'You must change your life'. In making his case for the expansion of the practice zone for individuals and for society as a whole, Sloterdijk develops a fundamental and fundamentally new anthropology. The core of his science of the human being is an insight into the self-formation of all things human. The activity of both individuals and collectives constantly comes back to affect them: work affects the worker, communication the communicator, feelings the feeler. It is those humans who engage expressly in practice that embody this mode of existence most clearly: farmers, workers, warriors, writers, yogis, rhetoricians, musicians or models. By examining their training plans and peak performances, this book offers a panorama of exercises that are necessary to be, and remain, a human being.
