Book Description
Unnecessary Things addresses the doctrine in the One New Man theology, a teaching invading churches, suggesting a Torah led-life is what Jesus died for. However, should the church be focused on uniting with Israel as one new man, or is the church called to fulfill the Great Commission? Will the church enter into a more blessed state by embracing its Jewish roots, or is this a subtle way of rejecting the finished work of Christ on the cross? Is there a problem with the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament, or is Masoretic text a better version? Has this Movement ignored the history in the making of an English speaking Bible? Did the Reformation do no more than produce a flawed unreliable book? Come on this historical journey, as these questions and more are answered within the pages of this book!

An Unnecessary Woman
Author: Rabih Alameddine
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802192874
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
A happily misanthropic Middle East divorcee finds refuge in books in a “beautiful and absorbing” novel of late-life crisis (The New York Times). Aaliya is a divorced, childless, and reclusively cranky translator in Beirut nurturing doubts about her latest project: a 900-page avant-garde, linguistically serpentine historiography by a late Chilean existentialist. Honestly, at seventy-two, should she be taking on such a project? Not that Aailiya fears dying. Women in her family live long; her mother is still going crazy. But on this lonely day, hour-by-hour, Aaliya’s musings on literature, philosophy, her career, and her aging body, are suddenly invaded by memories of her volatile past. As she tries in vain to ward off these emotional upwellings, Aaliya is faced with an unthinkable disaster that threatens to shatter the little life she has left. In this “meditation on, among other things, aging, politics, literature, loneliness, grief and resilience” (The New York Times), Alameddine conjures “a beguiling narrator . . . who is, like her city, hard to read, hard to take, hard to know and, ultimately, passionately complex” (San Francisco Chronicle). A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award, An Unnecessary Woman is “a fun, and often funny . . . grave, powerful . . . [and] extraordinary” Washington Independent Review of Books) ode to literature and its power to define who we are. “Read it once, read it twice, read other books for a decade or so, and then pick it up and read it anew. This one’s a keeper” (The Independent)

Pages : 73
Book Description
Michael Lim has discovered personal management and improvement can be leveraged on 5S and Kaizen too. The 5S is a well-known Japanese housekeeping management at the workplace, and Kaizen means change for better (continuous improvement by small changes). In fact, 5S is supporting not only at the workplace and factory management systems but also supports our daily activities. Unconsciously, everyone is doing 5S every day yet at what level. Non-Japanese found it difficult to sustain 5S at the workplace (place 5S), and the only answer is personal 5S (self-5S). One should practice self-5S first before practicing place 5S. This makes it easier and can be internalized first by individuals. Results of place 5S will be more effective. Self-5S and place 5S are intertwined and complement each other. I name the title of this book i-5S2Kaizen4Life. I means me, self, ego, one to be internalized, innovative, intelligent; industrious to sort, set, shine, and sustain; and self-principled to change to be good and become better to live in life, the personal life and life situations.

Necessary Endings
Author: Henry Cloud
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0061777129
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
End Pain. Foster Personal and Professional Growth. Live Better. While endings are a natural part of business and life, we often experience them with a sense of hesitation, sadness, resignation, or regret. But consultant, psychologist, and bestselling author Dr. Henry Cloud sees endings differently. He argues that our personal and professional lives can only improve to the degree that we can see endings as a necessary and strategic step to something better. If we cannot see endings in a positive light and execute them well, he asserts, the "better" will never come either in business growth or our personal lives. In this insightful and deeply empathetic book, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when executed well, "necessary endings" allow us to proactively correct the bad and the broken in our lives in order to make room for the professional and personal growth we seek. However, when endings are avoided or handled poorly—as is too often the case—good opportunities may be lost, and misery repeated. Drawing on years of experience as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help readers know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending in a business, or with an individual; identify which employees, projects, activities, and relationships are worth nurturing and which are not; overcome people's resistance to change and create change that works; create urgency and an action plan for what's important; stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter. Knowing when and how to let go when something, or someone, isn't working—a personal relationship, a job, or a business venture—is essential for happiness and success. Necessary Endings gives readers the tools they need to say good-bye and move on.
