Book Description
Professional development and leadership with you in mind A good friend once said about Chase Sargent that he’s “a very intelligent man, but he sure does tick people off sometimes.” Sargent doesn’t disagree. He may have made some people mad, but he wishes he had done it more often to get this point across: “Leadership—in all aspects of life—is sorely lacking.” The second edition of From Buddy to Boss: Effective Fire Service Leadership reinforces the fact that the fire service is screaming for leaders as men and women discover that leadership is important to their existence and success. Being a firefighter can be tiring and frustrating, but it can be rewarding. It’s not only about the job, “but also about raising kids, managing your life, and trying to be a good person, attached to God, country, family, and friends,” says the author. Many leaders today are surrounded by external politics, hidden agendas, fiscal constraints, and manipulative people. Consider these factors when navigating your career. Sargent knows from decades of experience that simply reaching the top of the organizational ladder does not make you a good leader. Before he went into teaching this subject, “It became apparent very quickly that the leadership and human resources training being provided was as scarce as water in a desert and that the fire service was thirsty.” This new second edition includes must-read topics on leadership lessons from the War in Iraq, knowing death in the fire service, and providing leadership in large-scale disasters. This book will change your life.

Book Description
The story is designed to supplement the murmurings of consolation when one must explain death to a child. When Mike, Timothy's firefighter friend, dies, Timothy's mother and Mike's colleagues affirm that Mike was lucky to have had Timothy for his friend. The loss is explained and the sadness is acknowledged, as the child is also assured that he enhanced the life of another and that in time happy memories will persist amidst the sorrow.The current market for children's books about death is replete with parables. Tess' Tree, by Jess Brallier, for instance, describes the funeral Tess holds for her favorite tree. Susan Varley's Badger's Parting Gifts talks of woodland animals remembering their friend's kindness and friendship after his death. The works are meant to entice the child to extrapolate the circumstances to his or her own efforts to cope with loss. Other works offer more direct explanations about death itself. Lifetimes: The Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children, by Bryan Mellonie, explains that everything has a beginning and an end. When Dinosaurs Die, by Laura Krasny Brown, discusses the ways in which someone might die and describes funerals and other customs.Fire Buddy complements works that currently are available but fills a critical gap. The story propounds a crucial message that is not included in other works: in times of immeasurable grief, some semblance of solace lies in the conviction that one enhanced the life of another.The book resonates with all religions, is relevant regardless of the cause or circumstances surrounding a particular death, and resonates regardless of the age of the deceased and his or her relationship to the child.The story concludes with a "Discuss and Discover" guide for parents and caregivers. Questions and responses lay a framework to discuss the key messages of the story.e

Book Description
Within the pages of the Holy Bible, the Lord God Almighty used fire in powerful ways to deliver His message. His authority became apparent when He brought or sent fire down. A few excellent illustrations include Elijah and the prophets of Baal, the three young men in the fiery furnace, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Moses at the burning bush and the tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost. Consider also our largest visual source of fire and heat. The solar sun eclipses and blood moons are often considered as key events or signs in God's Word. Flames entered my apartment in 1992 and left behind four distinct burned images with sealed messages from the eternal consuming fire. The amazing images in my bedroom later told the story of my heart attack. The Holy Spirit unlocked these images by His Word through time. The Cokeville miracle story also has a detailed fire image that was burned into the wall. Its message had been well hidden until now. Learn the interpretations for these miraculous images and understand that the same Creator who made these images will be returning someday with His fire vision to judge all things. The single most important and unanswered question for many people today remains a mystery. Ask yourself, "How will the King of kings see me?"

Author: Geoffrey Greif Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0195326423 Category : Family & Relationships Languages : en Pages : 313
Book Description
Much has been made of the complex social arrangements that girls and women navigate, but little scholarly or popular attention has focused on what friendship means to men. Drawing on in-depth interviews with nearly 400 men, therapist and researcher Geoffrey L. Greif takes readers on a guided tour of male friendships, explaining what makes them work, why they are vital to the health of individuals and communities, and how to build the kinds of friendships that can lead to longer and happier lives. Another 120 conversations with women help map the differences in what men and women seek from friendships and what, if anything, men can learn from women's relationships.The guiding feature of the book is Greif's typology of male friendships: he dispels the myth that men don't have friends, showing that men have must, trust, just,and rust friends. A must friend is the best friend a man absolutely must call with earthshaking news. A trust friend is liked and trusted but not necessarily held as close as a must friend. Just friends are casual acquaintances, while rust friends have a long history together and can drift in and out of each other's lives, essentially picking up where they last left off. Understanding the role each of these types of friends play across men's lives reveals fascinating developmental patterns, such as how men cope with stress and conflict and how they make and maintain friendships, and how their friends keep them active and happy.Through the lively words of men themselves, and detailed profiles of men from their twenties to their nineties, readers may be surprised to find what friendships offer men--as well as their families and communities--and are sure to learn what makes their own relationships tick.
