Book Description
It may sound just a little crazy, but embracing boredom will enrich your life. As a modern society, we avoid boredom like the plague. Boredom is painful. Boredom is an idle, restless discomfort, and a vacant, empty mind craves distraction. Yes, it might be uncomfortable but do not run from it or try to drown it in endless meaningless activities or shallow thought. Do you want your life to have meaning? Do you wish to exercise your creativity? Do you want to love and be loved? Don't let fear limit your questions and constrict your life as you drown in a sea of self-soothing digital-distraction. Put your smartphone away. Turn off the television and unplug your computer. Learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and ponder difficult issues. You need to embrace boredom to free up your thinking. If you run from boredom, you will quickly lose your ability to think. It will be uncomfortable, but it will be worthwhile. Boredom is not your enemy; it is your awkward friend.Every soul has a cellar, a place of repressed insults and offenses, a cold, dark storage shed of disappointment, and unresolved anguish. We want this cellar to be an out-of-sight storage container in another state, but in reality, it is something we carry with us everywhere we go. If you choose to disregard what is in your cellar, it will eventually rise and hurt you. It may take time, but ultimately, it will show up as anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, despair, or any of many other self-destructive misery factors. Embrace boredom by thinking about meaningful things, gratitude, forgiveness, creativity, problem-solving, and personal growth.Ponder and write down your musings, and write a gratitude journal.You owe it to yourself to ponder. Pondering will enrich your life.Boredom is a mental stew made with a dash of loneliness, a cup of felt meaninglessness, a sprig of powerlessness, a scent of mortality in a pot of spiritual emptiness. If you expect to live a full and meaningful life, you will need to be willing to wander into the swamp of boredom and take some time to ponder essential life issues. Without this pondering, you will scramble for the next distraction, unable to find meaning or purpose, unable to love or recognize when you are loved. If you live in fear of the darkness of boredom, it will leave you feeling even more alone and isolated.

Book Description
Leaders who are interested in planting or revitalizing congregations often feel discouraged and defeated after leadership conferences, or after reading about the ‘heroes’ of church planting and church growth. “They are amazing,” they say. “I can’t be that amazing.” But Jesus’ load is easy and his burden is light. When we examine the practices and characteristics of those ‘heroes’, we see striking trends and commonalities. Aspiring church leaders can learn the practices and develop the characteristics that will lead to successful churches. Instead of feeling defeated, new leaders should have a hope-filled sense of what new thing they can do. Authors Matt Miofsky and Jason Byasse carefully researched, interviewed, and profiled successful church-growers across the U.S., and identified 8 characteristics these leaders and their congregations have in common. These pastors are still learning, still figuring out how to do this work and how to faithfully live into God’s call. But for now, how are they doing what they do? What mistakes have they made & learned from? Where have they paid the stupid tax that others should avoid? Each of these ‘heroes’ is painfully ordinary and up front about their flaws. And each can see slightly farther than the rest of us. What do they see that we can learn from? Discover the 8 characteristics, and learn how to adapt them for your own congregation and calling: Believe in miracles and act accordingly Integrate new people quickly Love the local Exist to reach the next person Elevate the practice of giving Work in teams Preach effectively to skeptics Make friends with the denomination

Book Description
In this early work of Assyriology, Smith provides his analysis of the Gilgamesh Epic as well as Enuma Elish in their relation to the Old Testament. Five years after his death, the renowned Assyriologists, A. H. Sayce revised and updated his work. The stories and myths given in the foregoing pages have, probably, very different values; some are genuine traditions--some compiled to account for natural phenomena, and some pure romances. At the head of their history and traditions the Babylonians placed an account of the creation of the world; and, although different forms of this story were current, in certain features they all agreed. Beside the account of the present animals, they related the creation of legions of monster forms which disappeared before the human epoch, and they accounted for the great problem of humanity--the presence of evil in the world--by making out that it proceeded from the original chaos, the spirit of confusion and darkness, which was the origin of all things, and which was even older than the gods. --from the Conclusion
