Potluck: Parables of Giving, Taking, and Belonging
by Kim ThomasIt all begins at the table. A long table dressed in an oversized tablecloth and covered with various pyrex dishes, fiesta bowls, covered casseroles, dutch ovens, and cake plates. The tradition is familiar, the recipes are old and new, the people are known and unknown. But by the end of the evening, everyone is full, all having given something, taken something, and found something. This compelling and transparent collection of meditations is based on the Potluck dinner heritage. Kim Thomas explores the beauty and diversity of food at the community table as a metaphor for the community of faith. The table offers a place of discovery and delivery, becoming and belonging. Potluck: Parables of Giving, Taking, and Belonging is an insightful assembly of thoughts, a narrative moving readers to find that they have a place at the table-a place to give, to take, and to belong.

Pound the Stone: 7 Lessons to Develop Grit on the path to Mastery
by Joshua Medcalf“There’s a secret to mastery that you may have never heard, a single little thing that only the very best in the world know how to do. In fact, I believe it is the only thing anyone can do to gain true mastery at anything, and it’s an equal opportunity principle. It can be applied to fulfill your potential in business, in sports, in your relationships, as well as your overall life. Do you want to know what it is?” <p><p> In the crowd, Jason leaned forward, laser focused. Kicked off his basketball team after a season-ending fight, his only chance to play ball again was to sell enough books door-to-door over the summer to get back on the team. He never needed wisdom like he needed it now. But little did he know that the answer he was seeking was about to change his life forever… <p> Pound The Stone is the intense and inspiring story of a young man’s journey through the obstacles, defeats, and eventual victories that come while developing grit on the path to mastery. Told in the same engaging fable style as Chop Wood Carry Water, this is a deeper dive into the timeless principles that guide and inspire anyone who seeks greatness in life, and covers everything from true success, to the perfection trap, the value of failure, why courage is contagious, and why vulnerability can save your life. Pound The Stone will move you, inspire you, and hopefully encourage you to choose love and courage over fear and shame.
Pour Me: A Life
by Adrian GillSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE'An intense, succulent read that's intermittently dazzling' THE TIMES'Chilling, exquisitely moving' DAILY TELEGRAPH'A superb memoir - and one of the best books on addiction I have ever read' EVENING STANDARDA. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages ... But there was also an 'optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden'.Sobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion; and most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother. Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, POUR ME is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.
Pour Me a Life
by A. A. GillSerialized in Esquire, A.A. Gill's Pour Me a Life is a riveting meditation on the author's alcoholism, seen through the lens of the memories that remain, and the transformative moments that saved him from a lifelong addiction and early death."Pour Me a Life is an unapologetically honest, raw, and often harrowing account of the life of a man who, up until now, we only thought we knew. Here is A.A. Gill at his best. A real-life Bright Lights, Big City." --Eric Ripert, chef and co-owner of Le Bernardin, and author of the New York Timesbestseller 32 YolksBest known for his hysterically funny and often scathing restaurant reviews for the London Sunday Times, A.A. Gill's Pour Me a Life is a riveting memoir of the author's alcoholism, seen through the lens of the memories that remain, and the transformative moments in art, food, religion, and family that saved him from a lifelong addiction and early death.By his early twenties, at London's prestigious Saint Martin's art school, journalist Adrian Gill was entrenched in alcoholism. He writes from the handful of memories that remain, of drunken conquests with anonymous women, of waking to morbid hallucinations, of emptying jacket pockets that "were like tiny crime scenes," helping him puzzle his whereabouts back together. Throughout his recollections, Gill traces his childhood, his early diagnosis of dyslexia, the deep sense of isolation when he was sent to boarding school at age eleven, the disappearance of his only brother, whom he has not seen for decades. When Gill was confronted at age thirty by a doctor who questioned his drinking, he answered honestly for the first time, not because he was ready to stop, but because his body was too damaged to live much longer. Gill was admitted to a thirty-day rehab center--then a rare and revolutionary concept in England--and has lived three decades of his life sober. Written with clear-eyed honesty and empathy, Pour Me a Life is a haunting account of addiction, its exhilarating power and destructive force, and is destined to be a classic of its kind.From the Hardcover edition.

by UlrikeCe livre est une compilation de mes pensées et de mes méditations quotidiennes. Ce sont mes expériences, prouvant encore et encore que la pensée est causale. Vous verrez les chapitres quotidiens sauter parfois d'un sujet à l'autre, mais c'est ainsi que mon esprit a assimilé de nouvelles idées et s'est penché sur de nouveaux concepts.

Des étudiants, des lecteurs et des étrangers ont contribué à faire de ce document un document vivant, grâce à leurs vécus.

Les personnages et leurs malheurs nécessitant une amélioration, les tests personnels et de nombreuses questions valables sont présentés de la manière la plus pratique possible. Je suis sûr que beaucoup d'entre vous peuvent se référer à plus d'un chapitre et voir le reflet de leur propre vie et de leurs expériences dans les histoires que j'ai partagées.
Pouvoir du Sacrifice
by Gabriel AgboLes sacrifices sont puissants. Très puissants! L’homme le plus riche, l'homme le plus fort, l'homme et la femme les plus bénis, le plus sage, les plus grands rois, les prophètes les plus puissants étaient tous des hommes et femmes de sacrifice. Ils ont tout donné, tout risqué pour leur peuple, l'humanité et Dieu afin d'atteindre leurs objectifs et réaliser des exploits dont même l'éternité serait fière. Voulez-vous connaître leurs secrets? Bien. Si vous voulez réussir, vous devez tout d'abord devenir un homme/femme de sacrifice. Tout est possible à ceux qui sont prêts à faire des sacrifices. Vous le verrez dans ces chapitres hautement révélateurs- Le pouvoir du sacrifice, Sacrifiez votre tout, Je passerai par l'Egypte, Je vais payer le prix, Suivez-moi! Nous sommes venus pour vous, Je vais vous préserver, Cuisinez ce dernier repas, Le pouvoir de sauver, Adoration, prière et jeûne. Nous n'avons pas seulement abordé les énormes sacrifices de grands hommes et femmes contenus dans la bible et la manière dont leurs actions les ont rendus grands, mais nous avons également parlé de personnes telles que Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu d'Israël; ce jeune israélien qui a conduit l'unité commando mise en place afin de sauver les otages juifs détenus à l'aéroport d'Entebbe après que leur avion a été pris en otage et détourné vers l'Ouganda en 1976. Nous nous sommes en outre focalisés sur nos héros militaires, tout particulièrement ceux des Opérations spéciales -telles que les SEAL, Delta Force. Ces hommes ont donné le meilleur; risquant tout à chaque fois y compris leurs vies afin de défendre leur peuple, l'humanité. Ils ont sacrifié leurs vies afin de protéger les autres. Jésus a dit que le plus grand sacrifice pour l'homme consiste à donner sa vie pour les autres. Nous leur rendons hommage! Ils nous enseignent ce que doit être le sacrifice. Jésus a dit quel sacrifice plus grand pourrait-il exister que le fait pour un homme de do

Power: A Woman's Guide to Living and Leading Without Apology
by Kemi Nekvapil"This book is a miraculous event." –Elizabeth Gilbert, from the forewordA transformative path for women to reclaim their power in a world all too eager to strip it awayWomen know what it&’s like to feel powerless. We have had power taken from us and used over us, and sometimes we have had to give it away for our own safety. But when power is built internally, it is stronger and more enduring than that bestowed externally. In Power, renowned leadership coach Kemi Nekvapil introduces a new framework for cultivating your power from the inside out.When you tap into the power that comes from within, you have the capacity to rebuild yourself. You give yourself the opportunity to break free from chronic people-pleasing and start making choices that align with your needs and values. You stop living and leading with apology, and instead use your power as a force for good.Through the principles of Presence, Ownership, Wisdom, Equality, and Responsibility, Power invites you to stop waiting for power to be handed to you and instead choose it for yourself and on your own terms. Drawing on stories from her own life as a Black woman in a society where power is often used as a tool for fear and obedience, and from the lives of leaders, gamechangers, and everyday women who&’ve learned to step into their power, Nekvapil shows you how to practice, build, and feel your inner force.
Power and Love: A Theory and Practice of Social Change
by Adam Kahane&“A profound book that offers us a wise way to negotiate our toughest group, community, and societal challenges.&” —William Ury, New York Times-bestselling coauthor of Getting to Yes To try to solve their toughest problems, people either push for what they want at all costs or try to completely avoid conflict. Adam Kahane argues that these two seemingly contradictory approaches are each a reflection of two distinct, fundamental drives: power, the single-minded desire to achieve one&’s solitary purpose; and love, the drive towards unity. They are inextricable parts of human nature, so to achieve lasting change you have to able to work fluidly with both. Kahane delves deeply in the dual nature of power and love, exploring their complex and intricate interplay. With disarming honesty he relates how, through trial and error, he learned to balance between them, shifting from one to the other as though learning to walk—at first falling, then stumbling forward, and finally moving purposefully toward true, lasting reconciliation and progress. For the last twenty years Kahane has worked around the world on a variety of challenges: economic development, food security, health care, judicial reform, peacemaking, climate change. He has worked with diverse teams of leaders—executives and politicians, generals and guerillas, civil servants and trade unionists, community activists and United Nations officials, clergy and artists. He has seen, up close and personal, examples of inspiring progress and terrifying regress. Power and Love reports what he has learned from these hard-won experiences.&“This exceptionally brave book pierces to the heart of how we must act in the world we so want to change.&” —Margaret J. Wheatley, bestselling author of Leadership and the New Science

A Power Called Persuasion: Strategies, tips and explanations
by Danilo H. GomesWhat is Persuasion? If persuasion were a jewel, I would certainly say that it would be one of the most expensive ones. Being persuasive is almost the same as being successful in various areas of life. Some people seem to have been born with the gift of persuasion, while others train tirelessly to, perhaps one day, be good at it. The act of persuading is, in short, the act of convincing. Do you know someone who gets everything they want through a good chat? This person can be classified as a persuasive person. Obviously, some use this incredible skill for good while others for evil.
