Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restore the Joy, Dr. Laura Colson's debut book, opens up with genuine transparency about the trials and triumphs of her personal life. Dr. Laura had to learn to walk by faith as she experienced four of the five most stressful events in life simultaneously: separation/divorce, moving, death of a loved one, and a medical diagnosis. During this time, she realized that even the toughest situation can still produce something beautiful like renewed faith. At the core of her vulnerability shared within the pages of this book, is her deep desire for the lessons she has learned to serve as a guidepost for others facing similar circumstances. During her journey, she believed strongly that Everything God Ordains (E.G.O.) and gained the understanding that you must go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guild, Heartbreak) to get to your breakthrough. It is all about perspective and the power of knowing that God has a purpose and plan and is always with you along your journey. Dr. Colson delivers a book that will inspire readers to find the light in the dark, thehope in the pain, and the joy through the struggle.

Why can’t I find freedom from secret obsessions and addictions? Using the Brain System Checklist, Dr. Henslin explains what happens to the 5 Mood Centers in the brain when any of those areas are out of balance. This is great news, especially for those tortured by the fear that something is fundamentally wrong with them when the problem actually lies between their ears. Read this practical, easy-to-understand, and often entertaining book, and you’ll know exactly how to nourish your mind, balance your brain, and help others do the same. After all, the capacity for joy is a terrible thing to waste.

Download or read book Handbook for Restoring Tidal Wetlands written by Joy B. Zedler and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to direct the recovery of damaged sites and landscape date back as far as the 1930s.

If there were no constraints, we could merely plant the restoration site and walk away. However, the development of restoration theory has not yet lead to predictability. The Handbook for Restoring Tidal Wetlands fills an important gap in current restoration ecology literature. It provides a broad-based compilation of case studies and principles to guide the management of tidal restoration sites. Thoroughly illustrated with more than 170 figures and tables, the book covers a full range of topics including: the conceptual planning for coastal wetlands restoration strategies for the manipulation of hydrology and soils the reestablishment of vegetation and assemblages of fishes and invertebrates the process of assessing, monitoring, and sustaining restored wetlands Combining detailed examples from coastal research studies along the Pacific coast of southern California with information drawn from the literature on coastal restoration across the globe, the Handbook for Restoring Tidal Wetlands is a must-have guide if you are involved in coastal mitigation and restoration projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores how the current process of schooling that frames public education through economic rather than democratic terms is fundamentally flawed, why it must change, and how all members and participants within the early childhood and elementary school communities must be a part of the reform process. The work is based on the author's recent studies of stakeholders' in the changed kindergarten as well as earlier studies examining the impact of reforms on classrooms, pre and in-service teachers, students, families, administrators, teacher educators, and other education stakeholders. By examining these issues empirically, practically, and theoretically, the author illuminates the complexity of what is currently occurring in kindergarten and other early childhood classrooms across the U.S. Then, Brown skillfully puts forward ideas for change that are practical and achievable in developing systems of schooling that can educate, foster, and sustain a democratic society"--

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth.

Book excerpt: We all spend a lot of energy reaching for happiness, but we're never quite able to hang on to it. Real life happens, and our circumstances take us on an emotional rollercoaster. Oftentimes, the Bible's call to "be joyful always" seems out of reach--but it doesn't have to be. We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy. Join bestselling author Stasi Eldredge as she shows us how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain. Defiant Joy reminds us that a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world was meant to be ours. This joy isn't simply happiness on steroids, it's the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. It's the stubborn determination to be present in whatever may come and interpret both goodness and grief by the light of heaven. Defiant Joy will give you the encouragement you need to: Finally experience daily joy Learn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soul Find new perspectives on the painful circumstances you've faced In Defiant Joy, Stasi invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness, leading the way as we learn how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares to live with expectant, unwavering hope.
Book Synopsis Chief Joy Officer by : Richard Sheridan
Download or read book Chief Joy Officer written by Richard Sheridan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2018 Nautilus Book Award Winner for Business and Leadership! The founder of Menlo Innovations and author of the business culture cult classic Joy, Inc offers an inspirational guide to leaders seeking joy in the challenge of leading others. Rich Sheridan's Joy, Inc. told the story of how his tiny software company in Ann Arbor, Michigan achieved success and renown by embracing offbeat culture and human-centered values. In Chief Joy Officer, he turns his attention from culture to leadership, and draws on his experience running Menlo and consulting elsewhere to offer a wise, provocative guide on how anyone can build leadership capacity for joy within their own organization. Chief Joy Officer offers sage, hard-won advice to any manager or leader who yearns to make more of an impact on the lives of others, including: * Self-understanding is the cornerstone for every virtue of leadership: authenticity, trust, humility, and optimism. * Good leaders make more leaders: Learn to judge your performance not on whether people are doing what they're told, but whether they're developing independent leadership capacity. * Influencing up is just as important is influencing down: how to encourage different thinking in those above you in your organizations. Filled with colorful anecdotes from Sheridan's personal journey and wisdom from many leadership mentors, Chief Joy Officer offers an approachable, down-to-earth philosophy and practice that will help even the most disillusioned of middle managers bring a renewed sense of purpose to their work building others.
