Abraham obeyed God and was about to kill Isaac—when God intervened. This is a classic 'between a rock and a hard place' situation. So how was Abraham able to obey in the face of losing it all? Or to bring it closer to home—what would you have done? In this powerful book, Tony Evans reveals what to do when your love for God is tested. According to Evans, “When you don’t know God, or when you either forget or dismiss what is true about Him, then you don’t know how to respond…” Moving through passages in both the Old and New Testaments, Evans makes a powerful case for obedient living as the key to an abundant life.

Book Synopsis Between Barack and a Hard Place by : Tim Wise
Download or read book Between Barack and a Hard Place written by Tim Wise and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race is, and always has been, an explosive issue in the United States. In this timely new book, Tim Wise explores how Barack Obama’s emergence as a political force is taking the race debate to new levels. According to Wise, for many white people, Obama’s rise signifies the end of racism as a pervasive social force; they point to Obama not only as a validation of the American ideology that anyone can make it if they work hard, but also as an example of how institutional barriers against people of color have all but vanished. But is this true? And does a reinforced white belief in color-blind meritocracy potentially make it harder to address ongoing institutional racism? After all, in housing, employment, the justice system, and education, the evidence is clear: white privilege and discrimination against people of color are still operative and actively thwarting opportunities, despite the success of individuals like Obama. Is black success making it harder for whites to see the problem of racism, thereby further straining race relations, or will it challenge anti-black stereotypes to such an extent that racism will diminish and race relations improve? Will blacks in power continue to be seen as an “exception” in white eyes? Is Obama “acceptable” because he seems “different from most blacks,” who are still viewed too often as the dangerous and inferior “other”? "From the Civil Rights struggle, to Dr. King's dream, to Barack Obama's election, Tim Wise provides us with an extremely important and timely analysis of the increasing complexity of race on the American political and social landscape. Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama provides an insightful and much needed lens through which we can begin to navigate this current stage in our ongoing quest for a more inclusive definition of who we are as a nation. It's definitely a book for these times!"—Danny Glover "Tim Wise has looked behind the curtain. In Between Barack and a Hard Place he explores the real issues of race in the Obama campaign and incoming presidency, issues that the mainstream media has chosen to ignore. His book debunks any notion that the United States has entered a post-racial period; instead he identifies the problems that emerge in the context of the victory of a black presidential candidate who chose to run an essentially non-racial campaign. With this book, Wise hits the bull's eye."—Bill Fletcher "Wise outlines…how racism and white privilege have morphed to fit the modern social landscape. In prose that reads like his lightening rod speeches, he draws from a long list of high-profile campaign examples to define what he calls 'Racism 2.0,' a more insidious form of racism that actually allows for and celebrates the achievements of individual people of color because they're seen as the exceptions, not the rules."—Jamilah King, Colorlines "This book makes an intriguing argument and is packed with insight. Wise clearly explains the complexity of institutional racism in contemporary society. He continuously reminds the reader that Obama's victory may signal the entrenchment of a more complicated, subtle, and insidious form of racism. The jury is still out."—Jeff Torlina, Multicultural Review Tim Wise is among the most prominent antiracist writers and activists in the US and has appeared on ABC's 20/20 and MSNBC Live. His previous books include Speaking Treason Fluently and White Like Me.

Download or read book 127 Hours written by Aron Ralston and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Sunday April 27, 2003, 27-year old Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. Dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, Ralston, a seasoned climber, figured he'd hike for a few hours and then head off to work. 40 miles from the nearest paved road, he found himself on top of an 800-pound boulder. As he slid down and off of the boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was; he had little water; he wasn't dressed correctly; and the boulder wasn't going anywhere. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: braking the bones in his wrist by snapping them against the boulder, he hacked through the skin, and finally succeeded in amputating his right hand and wrist. The ordeal, however, was only beginning. He still faced a 60-foot rappell to freedom, and a walk of several hours back to his car - along the way, he miraculously met a family of hikers, and with his arms tourniqued, and blood-loss almost critical, they heard above them the whir of helicopter blades; just in time, Aron was rescued and rushed to hospital. Since that day, Aron has had a remarkable recovery. He is back out on the mountains, with an artificial limb; he speaks to select groups on his ordeal and rescue; and amazingly, he is upbeat, positive, and an inspiration to all who meet him. This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.

Download or read book A Rock and a Hard Place written by Kent Hodgson and published by Amacom Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You discover your best sales rep has been taking thousands of dollars from the company on the side. She begs for mercy. What do you do? Your company's legal department advises you to "trap" an incompetent subordinate into dismissal by giving him an impossible workload and then documenting his failures. You agree he's incompetent--but he's also a decent person. What do you do? Your biggest client says that if you don't fire an employee who has admitted being gay, you will lose his business. What do you do? In the twilight world of ethical dilemmas, where every option seems difficult or painful, you can find yourself frightened, paralyzed, or just plain miserable as you try to decide what to do. And in a business environment, the choices become even more crucial as you wrestle with how they will impact on the company, profits, co-workers, and customers. But there is a way to make decisions that are both ethical and better for business. A Rock and a Hard Place gives you a system for making decisions that are responsible, practical, and defendable. Author Kent Hodgson, who has a Ph.D. combining psychology, management, and business organizational behavior and is a consultant to major companies, sheds light on the gray zone of ethical quandaries. He shows you how to methodically examine a sticky situation and then make a decision you can live with--personally and from a good-business point of view. "This book is a road map leading you to ask the right questions on the way to dilemma solutions," explains Dr. Hodgson. "It will draw out your personal and organizational values in order to help you make your own best choices." A Rock and a Hard Place sets out his unique three-step process, which combines business values and principles with ethical values and principles. Dr. Hodgson illustrates the process with real-world examples and offers you short exercises to complete, which bring the process into focus. Decision making is probably the most critical of your professional tasks. In A Rock and a Hard Place you will learn how to examine the problem objectively; determine who the key stakeholders are and what they each want; analyze the values and company norms at play for each stakeholder; project possible outcomes of different choices; discover what actions are necessary for a given choice and how those actions will affect you and the other stakeholders; and evaluate the options to get a clear sense of which one is the most responsible, given all the circumstances. A Rock and a Hard Place doesn't promise you will make perfect decisions (in many cases, there is no perfect decision), but you will be able to make better decisions. You'll deliver stronger, faster, more consistent decisions--and you'll move confidently between the "rocks" and the "hard places" of the business world whenever and wherever you find them.
Book Synopsis A Hard Place to Call Home by : Kiaras Gharabaghi
Download or read book A Hard Place to Call Home written by Kiaras Gharabaghi and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal resource, Dr. Kiaras Gharabaghi identifies an underlying absence of unifying theory and practice in Canada's child and youth residential care and treatment services. By drawing on organizational examples from across Canada, Gharabaghi exposes how the historical dynamics of mediocrity and complacency have led to inadequate standards and practices within the system. More assuredly, this resource exposes readers to alternative ways of re-imagining a system that is designed from a space of care, healing, and growth that promotes autonomy for all young people. This well-timed resource offers the child and youth services community a positive, constructive, and revolutionary framework for residential care and treatment that is fundamentally based on a partnership between caregivers and young people, their families, neighbourhoods, and communities. Dr. Gharabaghi’s sophisticated and provocative analysis of the system’s key issues is an essential resource for students, practitioners, and educators in the field of child and youth care and in the human services more broadly.
