Book Description
Join Dr. Douglas Lindsay and Dr. Joseph Balskus as they strategically and methodically unfold the very temporal framework of a single moment and the consequences of that one moment. This compelling book hits and penetrates the heart, specifically asking how you choose to live your time and the moments that make up your time, how you show up to your moments, and how you prepare for your moments. Lindsay and Balskus introduce their own Tempus Model, which is a breakthrough, practical model for human behavior that occurs within a moment. As they unfold and dissect their Tempus Model, you will be compelled to evaluate the notion of time, within your moments. To supplement your appetite for understanding you and your moments, they present examples of those who made tremendous decisions that had favorable consequences and those who failed to maximize the moments they had, by choices they made (or didn’t make). They will wind through the entire decision process within the moment and also evaluate why some people successfully navigate moments, while others seem to have moments and consequences they regret. Each component of the model will offer a glimpse into yourself as a person, a spouse, a father, a mother, an employee, a leader. These questions, along with others found in each chapter offer time for reflection on your moments, and the pre and post-moment checklists will provide a tremendous resource for leadership growth. You will read and feel how precious and special our moments are by reading of the author’s personal stories of moments they have had to face in their own lives, including the story of one who experienced an unexpected moment. A moment no one ever wants to face but may encounter. Someone who had a promising life cut short yet, while they lived, capitalized on purposefully and effectively living each moment they had remaining. Don’t miss this reading and learning experience. Time is the single common commodity that transcends culture, occupation, societies, career choice, and so many other things. It is one incident that everyone on earth possesses. Thankfully, we get to choose what we do with it. Since we don’t directly control the amount of time we have, we are left to have significance in the moments that we do have. Start now by examining your moments, learn how to better prepare for those moments, and grow from empowering techniques to enact behaviors that are consistent with how you want to be as a person and as a leader. Lindsay and Balskus are already making an impact with their breakthrough Tempus Model by successfully presenting workshops and seminars that captivate and challenge their audiences. They believe that no one is ever off the developmental journey as a leader. Their research is compelling and this book was written to pause, document, capture, and share a unique and special perspective to help you on your journey as leaders and individuals. Join them as they joyfully and brilliantly share a perspective that their odyssey through leader development has revealed to them, IN THIS MOMENT.

Book Description
Anna Claire has written these poems with older schoolchildren in mind, hoping they will encourage lively debate and reflection. Many of the poems are personal, and some are tragic but they are based on situations and circumstances that most of us encounter or face at some point during our lifetime. Reflection enables us to respond to others with understanding, and perhaps with the benefit of doing so, we are better equipped to deal with that which might otherwise overwhelm oneself, or those close to us. The human spirit is strong and has amazing abilities to overcome difficulties.

Book Description
Emma Rose was the rival of any man in wit, intellect, and courage. Those who gazed upon her face lost their breaths, being awestruck by her beauty. The only child of John Wilkin, the greatest sixteenth-century sword maker in all of Europe, Emma lived in Calais, then belonging to England. She was given a glorious life, but it was not hers alone to keep for fate claimed partial ownership. Two men vied for Emma's affections, disrupting the compass of history. One was Arthur Tudor, the Prince of Wales and the first-born son of Henry VII. He was heir to the English throne. Prince Arthur lived a life robbed of choices; "duty" suffocated his "desires." When he turned two, his father used his future as a pawn in a maneuvering game of political chess and promised his son's hand in marriage to the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella. It was foolhardy for Arthur to dote upon Emma Rose but he chose to ignore the consequences Emma's second suitor was a French nobleman, Rene du Blanc, a soldier of fortune who swore his allegiance to King Louis XII of France, who rewarded him handsomely. His pursuit of Emma was likewise fraught with uncertainty for reasons better left unsaid. Who would win Emma's heart and why would the identity of her lover lay hidden from the world for 30 years? Because the mystery was destined to alter the course of European history...once the answer was revealed by "The Letter " BRETT STEPHAN BASS is an attorney-at-law who began his professional career specializing in corporate litigation and appellate work. Leaving an active legal practice to become a business entrepreneur, he retired at age 50 to study science, art, literature, religion, and philosophy, to travel the world with his wife, Rosalind, to hone his skills as a photographer, and to write extensively about a variety of life experiences. He and his wife reside just outside of New York City.

The Way of Catechesis
Author: Gerard F. Baumbach
Publisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 159471715X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Winner of a 2018 Association of Catholic Publishers Award: Resources for Ministry (First Place) and a Catholic Press Association Award: Pastoral Ministry (Second Place). Drawing on more than forty years of experience as a catechist, parish DRE, textbook publisher, and founding director of the Echo Program at the University of Notre Dame, Gerard F. Baumbach explores contemporary catechesis in light of its history. This landmark book is an essential resource for every catechetical leader and will spur a new appreciation of the opportunities and challenges of catechesis in the Church today. The Way of Catechesis offers a new and timely perspective on the vital ministry of catechesis at a pivotal moment in the work of New Evangelization. Baumbach shows how today’s catechists can follow the pedagogy of Jesus, “the way, the truth, and the life,” and he invites readers to an understanding that includes both the process and the content of handing on the faith and also a way of living in union with Christ the Teacher. Baumbach asks readers to consider how key issues and questions throughout the Church’s history shed light on today’s questions and concerns. Numerous reflection questions help the reader prayerfully reflect and personally integrate the lessons. For example: What is Jesus teaching you through the Beatitudes about the need for a new evangelization in your life as you seek to promote the Church’s mission to evangelize? What does our history teach us about inviting Catholics who are distant from the Church to find the way back to this community of faith? What is your earliest memory of hearing about the Second Vatican Council? What questions did you have? What questions about Vatican II do you have now? Drawing from his own experience, study, and implementation of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Baumbach highlights four characteristics—belonging, believing, discerning, and living—that help the reader connect the history of catechesis with their own faith and practice in the Church today. Each chapter also includes a broad look at highlights of some important dimensions of the catechetical climate, weaving together influences that affected the era. In addition, Baumbach explains the role of key thinkers in each period of the history of catechesis is explained, including Cyril of Jerusalem, Thomas Aquinas, Robert Bellarmine, and Joseph Jungmann. Those engaged in catechesis and evangelization at every level will find much to enrich their ministry and deepen their commitment to the Church in this extraordinary book.

My Story, Your Glory

Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Discover how God’s love can rewrite your story in My Story, Your Glory, a thirty-day devotional that explores how God’s glory redeems every chapter of our lives—inspired by Dove Award-winning worship music artist Matthew West’s song “My Story, Your Glory.” My Story, Your Glory reveals how God brings hope into all situations in our lives. We all have hurts, mistakes, and losses in our lives that we wish would disappear. God promises that He will work all things together for the good of those who love Him. The God of mercy doesn’t mark up our stories with a red pen; He blots out our sins and then comes alongside us, encouraging us to keep writing. Readers will learn how to find God’s purpose in their pain and His message in their mistakes. By sharing his own highs and lows, West relates to readers and helps them to reflect on the less-than-perfect parts of their lives. Readers are pointed to examples in Scripture of people not much different from us, and how God, in His glory, redeemed their stories. In every way that we are not enough, our God is. West encourages readers to give God the glory in both the best days and worst days. Each entry in this devotional calls readers to: Connect to God’s Story and truth through selected Bible verses Craft your story by recording your answer to a thought-provoking prompt Share your story with God or others, inviting God to move through the Spirit Live your story by bringing glory to God through concrete action My Story, Your Glory guides readers to call God into their story, giving Him the glory for all He’s already done and waiting expectantly for Him to write the next chapter.

Reconciliation as a Controversial Symbol
Author: Demaine J. Solomons
Publisher: Langham Publishing
ISBN: 1786410478
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Reconciliation is never simple and straightforward; it is often tied to ideological conflict, resulting in very different understandings of what this noble Christian ideal is all about. In this important study, Dr. Demaine Solomons provides a thorough conceptual analysis of the term “reconciliation” within the context of Christian discourse in South Africa. Analysing literature from the 1960s onwards, particularly in theological reflections on social conflict within the country, the author explores the diverse interpretations of reconciliation. Drawing on the Christus Victor typology of atonement by Gustaf Aulén, this study facilitates ongoing theological reflection by offering a constructive reinterpretation of reconciliation in contemporary South Africa. By exploring creative uses of the reconciliation concept, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of its application in Christian contexts, offering a more complete version of how South Africa’s reconciliation “narrative” is understood and providing insight into how this theological concept might be understood in other social contexts.

By exploring creative uses of the reconciliation concept, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of its application in Christian contexts, offering a more complete version of how South Africa’s reconciliation “narrative” is understood and providing insight into how this theological concept might be understood in other social contexts.

The Show and the Gaze of Theatre
Author: Erika Fischer-Lichte
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 9781587290633
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Theatre, in some respects, resembles a market. Stories, rituals, ideas, perceptive modes, conversations, rules, techniques, behavior patterns, actions, language, and objects constantly circulate back and forth between theatre and the other cultural institutions that make up everyday life in the twentieth century. These exchanges, which challenge the established concept of theatre in a way that demands to be understood, form the core of Erika Fischer-Lichte's dynamic book. Each eclectic essay investigates the boundaries that separate theatre from other cultural domains. Every encounter between theatre and other art forms and institutions renegotiates and redefines these boundaries as part of an ongoing process. Drawing on a wealth of fascinating examples, both historical and contemporary, Fischer-Lichte reveals new perspectives in theatre research from quite a number of different approaches. Energetically and excitingly, she theorizes history, theorizes and historicizes performance analysis, and historicizes theory.
