Unguarded Moments
Author: Mezie Okolo

Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Educated in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, Dr Chukwumezie Okolo is a Registered Pharmacist with post-graduate training in Epidemiology, Health Planning & Management, Public Health, Business Management and Leadership. He has been a Christian leader serving in different church-related capacities. In college, he was President of different fellowship groups even at national level. "Mezie" has been President of Men's Fellowship, member of church board, and a marketplace leader as a Pharmacy Manager. He is a student of leadership and loves to sing melodious hymns. Mezie grew up in Ogbunka, Eastern Nigera under the watchful eyes of parents who were mission trained teachers. He is married to Chidimma Okolo and they are blessed with two lovely daughters - Chisom and Udodi. The family lives in Dallas, Texas and enjoys the fellowship of friends and brethren. ABOUT THE BOOK - In this book, I shared uncommon insight into Unguarded Moments as they relate to decisions and actions we take. Such behavior may or may not be sinful, but has consequences that deter us from the expected spiritual, emotional, psychological and socioeconomic growth, and development as Christians. Such moments could have arisen from ignorance, negligence, omissions or commissions. Believers in Christ, who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus, have a life to live here on earth and a life in the eternal kingdom. Salvation guarantees eternal life, but Unguarded Moments rob us of our inheritance. It is the will of God for us to live like kings and princes, Unguarded Moments make us live like slaves and beggars. God has provided for us to be victors, Unguarded Moments make us victims in the battles of life. If we remain conscious of Unguarded Moments, we will enjoy victorious Christian living in a corrupt world. May we not be found wanting at the Unguarded Moment!

The Intentional Leader
Author: Tim Hebert
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472990056
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
An essential guide to the elements that create strong leadership. From those decisive moments in which a difficult decision must be made, to the unguarded moments when our emotional, authentic selves manifest themselves for better or worse – this book explores the actions and outlooks that define leadership. The Intentional Leader clarifies that openness is key to genuinely effective leadership – as Emerson wrote, “The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is because man is disunited with himself.” We have an overabundance of 'leaders' in our world today. But those who truly stand out are the ones who lead in a way that inspires employees to rally behind the organizational cause – whether that be developing cutting-edge technologies or selling fast food. This is Intentional Leadership, which Tim Hebert defines as clear, aligned, compassionate guidance delivered with a strong core ideology. It's responsive, not reactionary. It's inclusive, not prejudiced. It's transformational, not transactional. It's innovative, daring and inspirational leadership. Drawing upon his extensive experience as a business leader and consultant, Tim Hebert provides practical advice and broadly applicable guidance that will bolster business leaders across all industries. With an engaging combination of high-profile case studies, first-hand experiences and enlightening research, The Intentional Leader is the essential guide to cultivating an authentic, effective and sustainable approach to leadership.

The Missouri State Penitentiary
Author: Jamie Pamela Rasmussen
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826272878
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Asked how the Missouri State Penitentiary compared to other famous prisons, a historian and former prison administrator replied, “ It’s older and meaner.” For 168 years, it was everything other prisons were and more. In The Missouri State Penitentiary, Jamie Pamela Rasmussen recounts the long and fascinating history of the place, focusing on the stories of inmates and the struggles by prison officials to provide opportunities for reform while keeping costs down. Tales of prominent prisoners, including Pretty Boy Floyd, Sonny Liston, and James Earl Ray, provide intrigue and insight into the institution’s infamous reputation. The founding of the penitentiary helped solidify Jefferson City’s position as the state capital. A highlight in the chapter on the Civil War years is the story of George Thompson, who was imprisoned for attempting to help a number of slaves to freedom. The narrative enters the twentieth century with the controversy surrounding the various systems of inmate labor; the effort to make the prison self-supporting eventually caused punishment to be driven by factory needs. The example of Firebug Johnson demonstrates how inmates reacted to the prison labor system while Kate Richards O’Hare’s struggles and efforts to improve conditions in the penitentiary illuminate the role of women in the system at the time. A full chapter is devoted to the riot of 1954, and another concentrates on the reforms made in the wake of that catastrophe. Rasmussen also considers the effect inmate lawsuits during the 1980s and 1990s had on prison life before telling the story of the decision to close the prison. The Missouri State Penitentiary provides a fitting account of an institution that was part of Missouri’s history for well over a century. Numerous illustrations and a list of recommended reading contribute to the readers’ understanding of the history of the institution.
