Between you and anything of worth in life, there are giants. However, you must fight anything that will limit your life and coast! Greatness is created, not stumbled upon. Have confidence in yourself. You can achieve a lot. You are better than you think. Violate the norm. Create a throne for yourself and map out the strategies to enter into the throne. Determine what you want to achieve and dedicate yourself to its attainment. Plan your progress with unswerving singleness of purpose. Do you know that the best jobs have not been found? The best church and ministries have not been crowned; the best marriages have not been sealed yet; yours can be; the best books have not been written; the best songs have not been sung; the best sermons have not been preached; the best testimonies have not been given; believe that your rising will defy human explanation. You may be whatever you resolve to be. Focus to be something in the world and you will become something. "I cannot" never accomplish anything. "I will try" has wrought many wonders. Re-write your vocabulary and grammar! Never be found with the word 'impossible'. Refuse to be a fool! Nothing is impossible. Keep your hope alive. Let's go on together to the expedition of GREATNESS.

This book was released on 2023-03-25 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book "The Legacy of Love," Jameson and Emily, a young couple who committed their lives to promoting love and compassion across the globe, are profiled. Their story is one of empathy and inspiration, full of modest deeds of kindness that had an impact on everyone in their vicinity. Jameson and Emily left a legacy that encouraged subsequent generations to improve the world through the force of love and compassion. They put forth great effort to promote hope and optimism wherever they went because they thought that even the smallest act of kindness might make a difference. Their adventure started in the healthcare sector, where they were able to see firsthand the inequalities and injustices that the system contained. They developed into social justice fighters, using their position to change the world and stand up for the rights of the oppressed. But, Jameson and Emily stood out for their unshakeable faith in the ability of love to alter people's hearts, minds, and even the course of history. They understood that achieving more justice and equity needed not just changes in legislation but also a fundamental transformation in how people saw one another and their surroundings. They thus set out to create a legacy of love and compassion that would motivate others to change the world. Knowing that their voyage was just the start of a movement that would last for many generations, they entrusted the torch of love and compassion to the next ones. Everyone close to them felt the ripples of their love. They paved the way for a better tomorrow for everybody via their modest deeds of compassion and empathy, encouraging others to have hope for a better future. Their voyage served as a reminder that we must first change in order to change the world. We must resolve to live a life characterized by love, kindness, and compassion. And because of that dedication, we have the ability to transform the world, one nice deed at a time, into one that is more fair and equal. Jameson and Emily's quest was never about them; it was always about the legacy they were creating, one that would motivate others to make a difference and make the world a better place for everyone. Their experience is one that inspires compassion and makes a lasting impression on future generations. It serves as a reminder that love has the ability to transform the world and that every one of us can contribute to making tomorrow better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of the new APTS Press Monograph Series, Dr. Russ Turney presents a compelling case study of why some missionaries leave the field far too soon. Normal attrition occurs because of health problems, retirement, or the obvious call of God to go elsewhere. However, Turney notes that far too often missionaries leave due to interpersonal conflicts with their colleagues or nationals, problems with authority and other issues that, Turney contends, could be significantly reduced. He then presents an excellent strategy for dealing with these and other issues, enabling missionaries to continue in their calling long term and finish well. This strategy will help equip not only missionaries and mission leaders from both the West and the Majority World, but also pastors and church members who love and support missionaries and who want to learn how to strengthen them better through prayer and action. Anyone who shares the warm hearted conviction that missionaries can and should leave a legacy will benefit from this book. From the Foreword. . .

This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an account of the surprising ‘in-breaking’ of spiritual life that persists in our culture, despite the best efforts of atheist spokespersons and secular theorists. Spirituality in its varying forms is irrepressible, resisting our attempts to exclude it by continuing to seep through the cracks and leak through the gaps. When it is allowed to manifest itself through the Christian faith-tradition, it has the power to surprise, transform and renew everything it touches. This volume contains a series of case studies, each of which describes the inner-functionings and out-workings of the spiritual life as a transformative point of contact between God, world, society and self. Each chapter contains high-level inquiry, drawing on best-practice scholarship that is deeply aware of the needs and opportunities that confront 21st-century society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Living Stone: Perspectives on Continuous Knowledge and the Work of Vine Deloria, Jr. is a collection of new essays on the legacy of Vine Deloria, Jr., one of the most influential thinkers of our time. This insightful collection features more than thirty original pieces, bringing together Tribal leaders, artists, scientists, activists, scholars, legal experts, and humorists. A group of French scholars offers surprising perspectives on Deloria's continuing global influence. Readers will find thoughtful and creative views on his wide-ranging and world-changing body of work. Some build upon his ideas while others offer important criticisms. In addition to its content, this volume is unique in that it was designed to center the traditional exercise of continuous knowledge whereby information is routinely shared, considered, and pragmatically adapted as it flows between generations. In this way, people, ideas and traditions remain alive and relevant—not set in stone —as the past is honored by those living in the present as they prepare for the future. The book includes contributions from a number of remarkable individuals, including: Climate expert Margaret Redsteer (Crow) Melanie Yazzie (DinÉ), host of The Red Power Hour podcast Cheryl Crazy Bull (Sicangu Lakota), president of the American Indian College Fund Activists Faith Spotted Eagle (Yankton Dakota) and Lauren Schad (Cheyenne River Lakota) Writer and producer Migizi Pensoneau (Ponca/Ojibwe) Environmental scientists Kyle Whyte (Citizen Potawatomi) and Ryan Emanuel (Lumbee) Experts on Tribal Governance Deron Marquez (Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel), Frank Ettawageshik (Little Traverse Bay), Norbert Hill (Oneida), Megan Hill (Oneida), and Marty Case. Artists Cannupa Hanska Luger (MHA-Three Affiliated Tribes) and James Johnson (Tlingit) Legal Scholars Sarah Deer (Muscogee), Rebecca Tsosie (Yaqui descent), and Gabe Galanda (Round Valley) Archaeologist Paulette Steeves (Cree-Metis) Scholars of Indigenous Traditions Noenoe Silva (K&ānaka Maoli), Natalie Avalos (Chicana of Mexican Indigenous descent), Tom Holm (Cherokee), and Greg Cajete (Tewa-Santa Clara Pueblo). Time magazine named Vine Deloria, Jr. as one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century, and his research, writings, and teachings on history, law, religion, and science continue to influence generations of Indigenous peoples and their allies across the world. He authored many acclaimed books, including God Is Red; The Nations Within (with Clifford Lytle); Red Earth, White Lies; Spirit and Reason; and Custer Died for Your Sins.

Book excerpt: Korine reframes the question of succession in family and founder-lead businesses as an issue of entrepreneurial choice, concentrating on the challenge of succession for change as opposed to the traditional focus on succession for continuity. It is inevitable that when the leaders of family and founder-lead businesses look to pass on the mantle they naturally want to preserve and maintain the firm they have worked so hard for so long to build up. The shaping influence of family or founder, and the instinctive emotional desire for legacy easily sways succession towards continuity rather than the possibly radical development the business may need to meet new challenges. Succession for Change shows how competitive advantage has evolved over the last twenty-five years and examines the approaches being adopted by current business leaders, succession service providers and the next generation to address the change imperative in succession. Korine’s rigorous research and deeply practical approach shows that when change becomes the focus of succession, and developing entrepreneurial values takes precedence over preserving the status quo, succession planning can ensure that firms not only survive the departure of their founders but thrive long after they have gone. He offers a framework for implementing succession as transformation, and rethinking succession governance. The secret is enabling the next generation of leaders to stand on the shoulders of giants rather than be constantly doomed to stand in the shadow of giants.

Book excerpt: While working with Zig Ziglar, the author observed how his positive, successful living message not only helped people improve their lifestyles, it also led many to recognize their spiritual needs. Similarly, "Why You?" will lead readers to discover that the Bible overflows with simple, common-sense teaching on how to live successfully, even in today’s chaotic world. For example, what Proverbs 1:3 says about the proverbs themselves can be applied to the whole Bible: “Their purpose is to teach people how to live disciplined and successful lives.” Supporting that powerful statement, Ephesians 2:10 expresses the foundational principle of this book. It says, “We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” In summary, readers will learn the “good things” which give life purpose; how to develop successful life skills; and how to deal with life’s issues. The title of the book asks the question: "Why You?" The subtitle answers it: "You Are God’s Masterpiece, Designed to Succeed in His World!" You can live with purpose as God’s masterpiece!

Book excerpt: There is a crisis in America today. Families are failing, the divorce rate is rising, marriage is being re-defined, and roles are no longer properly understood. And because of this crisis, far too many of our nation’s children are growing up without a proper blueprint of the family. They are growing up without answers to questions like, “How do I become a man” or “What does a good wife look like?” There are answers to this crisis, and there is a road map to becoming a family under God. One Family Under God: Preserving the Home as God Intended will unveil the foundational issues within our homes and point you to lasting solutions. Dr. Tony Evans will help you understand the concept and importance of family as God intended and how the state of the family directly impacts our nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding the right successor to a well-loved founder or president is often the most difficult task an organization can face—and the challenge can be even greater for family-run businesses. Succeeding Generations explores leadership transitions in family businesses, offering a clear-eyed assessment of the different options, from direct succession to building partnerships between siblings and cousins. Family-owned companies may dominate the worldwide business landscape, yet surprisingly few are successfully passed down from one generation to the next, and fewer still reach the third generation intact. Author Ivan Lansberg, an organizational psychologist who grew up in a family business, examines the reasons behind this high failure rate and reveals the factors that contribute to long-term success. He offers practical advice on how to mentor successors, how to set up a systematic selection process, and how to make the best use of the board of directors during times of transition. With a wealth of examples from companies in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, Succeeding Generations provides a thoughtful and comprehensive look at the sensitive dynamics of leadership succession in family businesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has no limitations on how He pursues us. I love what Psalms 23:6 says about the Lord's love for mankind: "Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life." Believing that God designed us to receive those revelations of who He is, it is also His prerogative as to when and how that may occur. Why not through a dream. Dreaming is part of our DNA. All across this planet everyone dreams,so there must be something significant about it. Beyond our logical reasoning, it begs the question, why would a creator equip us with such a tool? I believe it is about His pursuit of us - a quest to be relational with men and women both in waking hours as well as sleeping hours. We become a captive audience, ready to both encounter and have conversations with our Creator.

Book excerpt: Will It Float? is a journey through the story of Noah and the Ark to glean an understanding of how we need to be the ark of the church. Through prism implications and plank applications, the reader is able to discover the spiritual ideas in the biblical flood narrative and then make practical applications in the building of the church. Through the efforts of the one God called and the journey that he was sent on, we see how God can move His people for His glory. The realization then becomes that we live in the full spectrum of Gods righteousness and love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Families share how they have maintained and grown their wealth from generation to generation. While creating wealth is a wonderful achievement, business families are also concerned with how their wealth is used to support their values, the lives of their children and the well-being of the community. Over several generations, families who are successful in growing their wealth have been able to reinvent themselves and their business in the face of significant environmental transformations and internal differences cause by family dynamics. Borrowed from my Grandchildren is a fascinating look at how large, long-lasting business families succeed across generations. Author Dennis T. Jaffe, one of the leading architects of the field of family enterprise consulting, has interviewed members of successful, well known, 100-year family enterprises from 20 countries, who serve as role models for those wishing to see their wealth positively impact their children, employees, and communities. Half continue to own their legacy business and others have gone on to become family offices with a portfolio of shared assets, but all these families have sustained their values and identity as a family over more than three generations. Offering the collected wisdom of nearly 100 global business families, this insightful book shares the real-life stories of partners in business and wealth management over three of more generations. Families that generate rather than reduce their wealth across generations, known as Generative Families, focus on engaging across generations and develop collaborative governance for both family and business to ensure responsible stewardship from one generation to the next. This unique resource: Presents real-life stories of families sustaining wealth over generations Explores both the successes and failures of retaining family wealth Includes rare private insights from members of prominent wealthy families Examines the nature of global family enterprises and their evolution over generations Discusses the financial, human, and social dimensions of wealth Borrowed from my Grandchildren: The Evolution of Stewardship in 100-Year Families is an essential read for family members, non-family executives, family offices, estate planning lawyers, family business consultants, trust officers, philanthropic and foundation advisors, financial advisors, financial planners, CPAs, and other finance professionals.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employees exit an organization with 80% of the knowledge they have acquired without transferring it to others. This colossal loss of intellectual assets is even more in terms of parent to child legacy transfer. Several factors may have contributed to this immense generational memory loss. First, the knowledge seekers do not know what to do on how to influence the knowledge sources to share their skills and experiences and may not even understand the characteristics of the knowledge they intend to access from the knowledge sources. Second, these intellectual assets such as skills and experiences they intend to access give the knowledge sources their comparative advantage in the society and worst still, they are not on the pages of procedures or other documented format, but mainly domicile in the heads of the possessors and hence not visible to others. Third, people also regard their skills and experiences as invaluable intellectual assets and hence do not want to easily share it with others. These are some of the constraints knowledge seekers face, whether in an organization or the society while trying to access the information they require in creating value in their respective domains. Eventually, the legacies transferred to the knowledge seekers fall short of what would have been transferred if the knowledge seeker knows otherwise. This book bridges this gap by providing a strategic and systematic approach on how a knowledge seeker may apply social interaction variables and its hierarchical effect on knowledge transfer to influence a knowledge source to share his or her intellectual assets that he or she might not ordinarily be willing to share with any knowledge seeker.
