Book Synopsis Images of Pastoral Care by : Robert C Dykstra
Download or read book Images of Pastoral Care written by Robert C Dykstra and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an edited volume of works that have predominated over the past several decades in contemporary pastoral theology. Through the writings of nineteen leading voices in the history of pastoral care, Dykstra shows how each contributor developed a metaphor for understanding pastoral care. Such metaphors include the solicitous shepherd, the wounded healer, the intimate stranger, the midwife, and other tangible images. Through these works, the reader gains a sense of the varied identities of pastoral care professionals, their struggles for recognition in this often controversial field, and insight into the history of the disciple. Includes readings by: Anton T. Boisen, Alastair V. Campbell, Donald Capps, James E. Dittes, Robert C. Dykstra, Heije Faber, Charles V. Gerkin, Brita L. Gill-Austern, Karen R. Hanson, Seward Hiltner, Margaret Zipse Kornfeld, Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore, Jeanne Stevenson Moessner, Henri J. M. Nouwen, Gaylord Noyce, Paul W. Pruyser, Edward P. Wimberly.
Download or read book Mission Wise written by Nicole Wilke and published by Credo House Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been on a short-term mission trip and felt uncomfortable, wondering if you're really making a long-term impact? Do you want to understand what the best practices are when it comes to serving children, families, and communities in other countries? Do you ever wonder if your current global missions are hurting more than they are helping? Does changing your strategy seem complicated and confusing? IF SO . . . THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. Perhaps you're wrestling with a mission strategy that doesn't change much year after year--continuing forward in the way your church has "always done it." You want to see change, to set a clear and compelling global engagement strategy for your church moving forward, but you don't know where to start. You genuinely want to serve vulnerable children, families, and communities around the world with wisdom, excellence, and dignity, but how? It feels overwhelming at times, right? We want to make it simple. This book curates some of today's best practices, principles, and people to give you the clarity and confidence you need take your next best step forward in your global missions strategy. Through a dynamic integration of Scripture and science, you'll discover what the most current research says about best practices for global engagement in things like short-term mission trips, child sponsorship programs, forming strategic partnerships, family-based care of children and more, you'll be encouraged by how that scientific research works to affirm what Scripture has already established as true and right about caring for the vulnerable--and you'll be inspired by new ideas and fresh vision as you to take your next best steps forward in caring for the most vulnerable around the world.
Book Synopsis Management by Missions by : Pablo Cardona
Download or read book Management by Missions written by Pablo Cardona and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few decades ago, management thinking started to embrace the idea of purpose. The first edition of this book marked an important step in this trajectory; it drew attention to the need for managers to relate the concepts of ‘purpose’ and ‘missions’ to strategy, culture and leadership. In the years since, purpose and missions have become business imperatives – not only in terms of remaining competitive but as core in the attempts to have a sustainable impact on the world. The second edition of Management by Missions is an open access book based on substantially more research carried out over fifteen years, involving more than 200 organizations around the world. All of this research supports that the practical models and ideas offered in the book have been tried and tested and actually work in practice. With case studies, anecdote and new research findings, the authors present the main tools of the MBM method (shared missions, missions scorecards, interdependency matrix, missions-based objectives and integral assessment) and the type of leadership needed to implement it. The ideas presented in this book mark a path towards a new management methodology for the XXI century and a new way of understanding the work that managers do.
Download or read book Mission Drift written by Peter Greer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christianity Today 2015 Book Award Winner Is your organization in danger of Mission Drift? Without careful attention, faith-based organizations drift from their founding mission. It's that simple. It will happen. Slowly, silently, and with little fanfare, organizations routinely drift from their purpose, and many never return to their original intent. Harvard and the YMCA are among those that no longer embrace the Christian principles on which they were founded. But they didn't drift off course overnight. Drift often happens in small and subtle ways. Left unchecked, it eventually becomes significant. Yet Mission Drift is not inevitable. Organizations such as Compassion International and InterVarsity have exhibited intentional, long-term commitment to Christ. Why do so many organizations--including churches--wander from their mission, while others remain Mission True? Can drift be prevented? In Mission Drift, HOPE International executives Peter Greer and Chris Horst tackle these questions. They show how to determine whether your organization is in danger of drift, and they share the results of their research into Mission True and Mission Untrue organizations. Even if your organization is Mission True now, it's wise to look for ways to inoculate yourself against drift. You'll discover what you can do to prevent drift or get back on track and how to protect what matters most. "No organization is exempt from the danger of drifting away from its original mission. In Mission Drift, Peter and Chris provide solid guidance for remaining laser-focused on core values--from the board level to daily organizational culture. This book is a timely message for any organization working hard to remain Mission True." --Wess Stafford, president-emeritus, Compassion International "Peter Greer and Chris Horst have identified one of the deepest challenges any leader faces: how to ensure that an organization stays true to its mission, especially when that mission becomes countercultural." --Andy Crouch, executive editor, Christianity Today "Essential reading for twenty-first-century believers if we are to gain new vision, unity, and strength. Mission Drift is spine straightening, mind clearing, and courage inspiring. This book is true-north wisdom for leaders--and a gift of hope for the world God loves." --Kelly Monroe Kullberg, founder, The Veritas Forum and author, Finding God Beyond Harvard "Many of us in leadership have learned--often painfully--that our mission needs to be built into every aspect of our organization, from leadership to receptionist, from hiring to implementation. We can't afford not to follow the lessons in this valuable book." --Richard Stearns, president, World Vision U.S. and author, The Hole in Our Gospel "Keeping an eternal perspective is essential in our work. Mission Drift gives a clear message inspiring and challenging us to intentionally keep Christ at the center of all efforts." --David Green, founder and CEO, Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. "Written with clarity, boldness, and urgency, the authors provide insight into and examples of the causes and solutions to drift using the stories of real organizations...A must-read! Recommend this book to every business and church leader."--CBA Retailers+Resources "This book is a must-read for leaders, easy to read, practical, engaging and inspirational. The principals outlined not only apply to major corporations, but also to any organization, church and even to one's own personal life. Mission Drift . . . will be well worth the effort and time, and you will find yourself wanting to begin implementing what you've learned to safeguard your organization from drifting away from its mission."--Foursquare.org
Download or read book WE (Wise To Earth) written by Vikash Sahu and published by OrangeBooks Publication. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This author's work is one of the best in terms of using the imagination in such a way that the end result of writing not only creates positive vibes about astronomy but also spreads love, affection, togetherness, humanity, and so on. When the author first witnessed a total solar eclipse, which darkened the sky, he became very interested in astronomy. It is safe to say that the desire to learn more about space began there. He visited a number of observatories and spoke with a variety of people, including amateur scientists and astronomers.
Book Synopsis The Census of Warm Debris Disks in the Solar Neighborhood from WISE and Hipparcos by : Rahul I. Patel
Download or read book The Census of Warm Debris Disks in the Solar Neighborhood from WISE and Hipparcos written by Rahul I. Patel and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debris disks are optically thin circumstellar disks around mainsequence stars, comprised of micron-sized grains. The dust is generated from destructive collisions of planetesimals, induced from gravitational perturbations by large planets. Debris disks can as signposts for planetary systems, through which, a universal picture can be obtained that encompasses the evolution and architecture of the Solar System's own dust disk and planetary system. The dust in these disks can be detected by their thermal infrared flux, measured as an excess above the photospheric emission. Dust at different circumstellar locations, inferred from the peak wavelength of the detected emission, can act as a probe for local dynamical activity in the system. Over the last thirty years, cold disks, analogous to the Kuiper Belt, have constituted the bulk of debris disk detections. Warm disks, analogous to the Main Asteroid belt, can act as signposts for dynamical activity in the terrestrial planet zone, but are rare in contrast. The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope mapped the entire sky in two near-IR and two mid-IR bands in 2012. The two mid-IR bands are well placed to probe dust emission in the terrestrial planet zone of these stars, at sensitivities greater than the last all-sky IR survey in 1983. WISE also provides us for the first time an opportunity to contemporaneously measure the photospheric and IR excess wavelengths of the entire sky, increasing sensitivity to fainter levels of dust. In this thesis, I present an unbiased survey of warm disks around main-sequence Hipparcos stars in the solar neighborhood, detected using data from the WISE All-Sky Database. Our series of surveys builds upon each other to find previously undetected faint, warm debris disks by including bright photometrically saturated stars in WISE, using empirical photospheric colors, removing several non-trivial false-positive sources, and verifying and validating these detected excesses. This thesis adds a substantial number of new disk targets to the census of debris disks, as well as an assessment of the incidence rate of WISE disks in the solar neighborhood. The number and rate of detections can ultimately aid in enhancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems.

Book excerpt: Another adventure of the ancient progenitors, as an altered destiny forces the love of her people to discover a method to keep the distant future on track. Yakov's family undergoes tremendous hardship, which propels them into an unknown land with an unusual mission. Damijana, the angel who warns of death convinces this young warrior to face his greatest fears and to search for this hidden truth. Yakov finds himself as a prisoner in a land that his father was taking them to begin a new life, one much better than the pain of hate as his family once lived. He leaps in faith with two mothers who suffered the deaths of their family members as they travel during the dark days to find the light that the Gerben long to serve. They withstand the disappointment of finding the chosen one is a member of a pack of wolves living as a beast in the wild. A strange bond grows as their love creates new hope in their combined future. Wise Wolf releases herself to the hidden wisdom locked in her soul, as they travel the seas and mountains to her former kingdom. Yakov loses his most prized possession, the one whom, he promised to spend the remainder of his days. He gave up all so that all could have their Queen, nevertheless, this Queen will not allow him to make this sacrifice.
Book Synopsis The Wise Man from the West by : Vincent Cronin
Download or read book The Wise Man from the West written by Vincent Cronin and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the amazing story of the famous Jesuit missionary priest to China, Fr. Matteo Ricci, revered as a "Wise Man" by the Chinese. He arrived in China in 1582 and died there twenty-eight years later, having developing a deep knowledge of and love for the country, the culture and the people. Before Ricci's heroic mission, China was an unexplored land bordering on the vague, mysterious Cathay, and the West was no more than a rumor to the learned Mandarins, a distant unknown region lying beyond the bounds of geography. In the person of Father Ricci these two worlds met, and Vincent Cronin dramatically recreates the romance, the crossed purposes, the potential tragedy of that meeting. He shows us ancient China, the timeless state, with a civilization older than that wherein Christianity first found expression. Because Ricci loved this civilization and honored it, he was able to teach his strange new Christian doctrine with tact and sympathy. He carried much of the technological and philosophical wisdom of the late Renaissance Europe, and thus found favor among the Mandarins, the men of learning who enjoyed high status at the Imperial Court. He learned Chinese to discuss with them the problems in science and technology, and also questions of religion and the hereafter. He lived as a great scholar among great scholars and left behind him a memory worthy of the Christian faith he served. Well researched and written with an enchanting style, Cronin relied almost entirely on contemporary material only recently assembled, including Father Ricci's own letters and reports, and his account of China written in Peking before his death. The seed of Faith was sown and the crop, even after a century of atheistic communism, continues to grow in present-day China.

Book Synopsis School-smart and Mother-wise by : Wendy Luttrell
Download or read book School-smart and Mother-wise written by Wendy Luttrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School-smart and Mother-wise illustrates how and why American education disadvantages working-class women when they are children and adults. In it we hear working-class women--black and white, rural and urban, southern and northern--recount their childhood experiences, describing the circumstances that led them to drop out of school. Now enrolled in adult education programs, they seek more than a diploma: respect, recognition, and a public identity. Drawing upon the life stories of these women, Wendy Luttrell sensitively describes and analyzes the politics and psychodynamics that shape working-class life, schooling, and identity. She examines the paradox of women's education, particularly the relationship between schooling and mothering, and offers practical suggestions for school reform.
