Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: http://www.OperationDesertRose.com Operation Desert Rose is a beautiful story. I cant even tell you how many times I literally laughed out loud enjoying their triumphs and Im a little embarrassed to admit....I actually cried several times. This truly touched me. So many little things in the story brought back memories, and its a tale so many can relate to whether they were in the military or not. I think it is something that can appeal to the masses and its very uplifting at the same time. Its inspirational, spiritual, romantic, and sexy without being gaudy, lude, cheesy, or preachy. Buy this book - its a definite yes! ~ Shelby Austin, Former SSG US Army

Book Synopsis The Age of Persuasion by : Terry O'Reilly
Download or read book The Age of Persuasion written by Terry O'Reilly and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop to consider the culture of the 21st century: Each morning, you might hear a half–dozen ads on the radio before your feet touch the floor. Staggering out of bed, you'll pass brand logos on your clothing and in your bathroom. By the end of the day, hundreds — perhaps thousands — of marketing messages have targeted you. And yet so little is understood about how marketing affects our lives, our society, and our world. Enter Terry O'Reilly and Mike Tennant, the ad men behind The Age of Persuasion, the popular radio show broadcast on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Sirius Radio. They have made it their mission to share the back–room story of modern marketing, entertaining asides and all. "Think of advertisers as millions of ants in a colony, each working hard and each with its own objective. Except that in this colony, every single ant is competing against the others. That's the ad business. Almost every ad you see, hear, and otherwise experience is competing for a piece of your imagination. And like any cross–section of humanity, the vast, worldwide advertising community is diverse: composed of geniuses and idiots, saints and buffoons, and everything in between." From the early players to the Mad Men of the 1960s and beyond, O'Reilly and Tennant offer insights into a rapidly evolving industry. Smart and funny, The Age of Persuasion provides an entertaining — and eye–opening — look at a world driven by marketing.
Book Synopsis Creativity, Theology, and Posttraumatic Growth by : Dustin S. Risser
Download or read book Creativity, Theology, and Posttraumatic Growth written by Dustin S. Risser and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between creativity, Christian theology, and experiences of growth after trauma may open pathways towards transformation for individuals and communities. An integrated theory based upon the psychological theories of D. W. Winnicott, the pneumatology of Jurgen Moltmann, and the current science of trauma and creativity is proposed to investigate how playful, creative expression with the world may foster experiences of positive psychological change. This theory suggests that creative action, rooted in a rediscovery of play, might allow for experiences of reorganization and growth after traumatic upheaval. Stewarding creative action after trauma is one way in which the afflicted can collaborate with the Holy Spirit, even in the midst of tragic pain, to honor our wholeness and dignity as beings made in the image of God. Accessing our created, God-given purpose and identity, from a perspective of playful co-creation, is offered as a path to psychological healing and transformation. This approach may have wide-ranging implications for faith-based clinicians, the church, and communities walking through traumatic, desert-like landscapes of the heart.
