Fire From the Midst of You: A Religious Life of John Brown - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: John Brown is usually remembered as a terrorist whose unbridled hatred of slavery drove him to the ill-fated raid on Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. Tried and executed for seizing the arsenal and attempting to spur a liberation movement among the slaves, Brown was the ultimate cause celebre for a country on the brink of civil war.“Fire from the Midst of You” situates Brown within the religious and social context of a nation steeped in racism, showing his roots in Puritan abolitionism. DeCaro explores Brown's unusual family heritage as well as his business and personal losses, retracing his path to the Southern gallows. In contrast to the popular image of Brown as a violent fanatic, DeCaro contextualizes Brown's actions, emphasizing the intensely religious nature of the antebellum U.S. in which he lived. He articulates the nature of Brown's radical faith and shows that, when viewed in the context of his times, he was not the religious fanatic that many have understood him to be. DeCaro calls Brown a “Protestant saint”—an imperfect believer seeking to realize his own perceived calling in divine providence.In line with the post-millennial theology of his day, Brown understood God as working through mankind and the church to renew and revive sinful humanity. He read the Bible not only as God's word, but as God's word to John Brown. DeCaro traces Brown's life and development to show how by forging faith as a radical weapon, Brown forced the entire nation to a point of crisis. “Fire from the Midst of You” defies the standard narrative with a new reading of John Brown. Here is the man that the preeminent Black scholar W.E.B. Du Bois called a "mighty warning" and the one Malcolm X called “a real white liberal.”

Face It and Fix It: A Three-Step Plan to Break Free from Denial and Discover the Life You Deserve - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: World-renowned interventionist Ken Seeley, one of the hosts of A&E's hit television series Intervention, has spent the past twenty years helping people and their families deal with and overcome life-threatening addictions. His clients have ranged from the homeless to multimillionaires, each needing professional help with every problem imaginable, including alcoholism, drug dependency, excessive gambling, sexual addiction, abusive behavior, and mental disorders. A few years into his career, Ken realized that the one common characteristic with each of his clients was denial. He has since built his success on a proven program for pinpointing and dealing with this core issue. Whether coping with a severe or a soft addiction, a life-threatening situation, or just an impediment to true happiness, we're all in denial about something. It might be small and seemingly innocent, such as the fact that you're not trying to excel in your job as much as you could or should be. Or it could be much larger and even potentially lethal, such as a full-blown addiction that at this very moment is destroying your life. The truth is, no matter who you are, no matter how small or large your problems may seem, denial is holding you back from living your life to the fullest. Denial is the number one symptom of addiction. It's the mask that lets addicts ignore and avoid the consequences of their actions. But what most people don't know is that denial is also the fuel that creates an addiction in the first place—as well as nearly every other disorder, behavior, and habit that can negatively affect your life. In Face It and Fix It, Seeley leads readers through a three-step process to remove life-damaging denial in order to live balanced and healthy lives. He helps readers first to identify life-damaging behaviors; next he gives the tools necessary to break down the walls that denial builds up over time; and finally he shows how to maintain balanced lives and relationships. Whether you're looking for help for someone you love or struggling with an addiction of your own, Face It and Fix It will leave you with a greater sense of self-awareness and the skills you need to both improve your relationships and to live the life you deserve.

The Mentee's Guide: Making Mentoring Work for You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: MY CONNECTION to mentoring began before I was born. My maiden namewas actually Menter (pronounced the same as mentor), so perhaps it wasnot coincidental that my work focuses on mentoring. What is certain is thatmy introduction to mentoring began as a Menter.My mother seemed to be everyone’s informal mentor. She was a leaderin a host of community organizations, and people would frequently callon her to share her leadership secrets, bolster their confidence, and sup-port their good intentions. Sometimes she would be gentle, sometimes a bitstern, but she always balanced candor and compassion. Those who wereprivileged to call her “Mentor Menter” knew that she was there for themand believed in them and the power of their possibilities. To this day wehear stories of how enduring her impact had been and how, in her ownspecial way, she didn ’ t transform those she mentored but helped themtransform themselves.My personal mentoring stories are many. I marvel at how my mentorsraised the bar for me, modeled the way, pushed me beyond my person-ally defined limits, encouraged me to enlarge my thinking, and believedin me even when I was unsure of myself. I was grateful for their time,their stories, and their commitment to my growth. I recall one mentor inparticular who always seemed to open doors of possibility for me. Shesaw something in me I didn’t see in myself. To be honest, I was sure thatI was going to be overwhelmed as each door opened, but with her sup-port I was able to rise to the challenge, consolidate the learning, and moveonto the next one. Before I knew it, I had developed competencies that I’ dnever imagined. Another mentor stood alongside me as I took on a majorleadership role in my community. He was there to support me, help methrough the political minefields, and make sure I kept the big picture at theforefront of my thinking.Prefaceآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
