By Matt Weinstein, Luke Barber. 1999
Having more fun at work isn't a fantasy. It's a smart and savvy strategy to becoming a more creative, productive,…
and dynamic employee. Work Like Your Dogis an inspiring call to "come out and play" at work. Dogs seem to have endless energy and tackle tasks with enviable enthusiasm, and Matt Weinstein and Luke Barber believe that most people could take a course from their ca-nines. By learning to play more at their jobs, workers can "lick" difficult challenges, take pleasure from tasks previously dreaded, reduce their levels of stress, and recharge their creative side. People spend more time working, thinking about work, and traveling to and from work than all other waking activities combined. Employees are asked to do more for less--making their work lives more exhausting and less satisfying. More hours are far from the answer; honing a sense of frolic and fun is. This book is a launching pad for fifty fun lessons about frolicking your way to success: Don't be afraid of being the fool. Be prepared to take risks; your new experiences may well lead to new contacts or new accounts and, if nothing else, will make you feel wonderful. Celebrate every success, not just your own but your coworker's new account, brilliant idea, or anniversary. You'll help release tension, underscore positives, and keep people aware of challenges conquered. Use humor to solve problems. Create a swearing room, where you and coworkers vent frustrations. Use a joke to diffuse verbal abuse from a customer. Humor can help you stay focused on the most important aspects of your job and prevent the worst aspects from getting the upper hand. Why choose stress? Almost every situation can provoke either stress or laughter. If you choose the highway of humor, your job will be more enjoyable and you'll work more effectively. And many more suggestions, stories, and ideas to unleash your playful professional and keep you from barking up the wrong tree. Weinstein and Barber's advice comes from seminar attendees and hundreds of corporate clients, such as American Express, IBM, Federal Express, and AT & T. This book shares the wisdom from these employees and from twenty-plus years of helping people enjoy their way to success.Leadership and Collaboration

By Bernard Levine, Zelna Naude. 2017
Ek is seker jy sal verbaas wees om te hoor dat daar in die meeste Joodse huise nie 'n Bybel…
is nie. Maar is dit nie baie snaaks dat die nasie, bekend as die "Mense van die Boek", nie eers 'n Bybel in hul huise het nie? Wat nog meer verrassend is, is dat mens sou dink dat die Joodse mense die Skrifte goed sou ken, die skokkende waarheid is egter dat meeste van die Ou Testament boeke aan hulle onbekend is en dat hulle nog nooit die profesieë oor Jesus in boeke soos Esegiël, Jesaja, Daniël en Maleagi gesien het nie. En, het jy geweet dat die Jode nie weet wat hulle sê as hulle bid nie, want die meeste Jode verstaan nie Hebreeus nie. Nou wonder jy seker hoe die Jode dan verlos raak van hulle sondes as hulle nie in Jesus Christus glo nie? Wat glo die Jode is die weg na die hemel? Jy sal geskok wees om uit te vind wat in die Joodse wêreld aangaan.Post-PhD Career Trajectories

assessment of ongoing practices in the field. By assessing and comparing the transferability of policies and good practices between firms in ten countries and regions of the European Union this book considers the development of sustainable careers across the lifespan at the levels of individuals, organizations and systems. This book is the culmination of a research project from the international European Social Fund network on 'Career and Age, Generation, Experience(AGE)'. It discusses and offers observations on key concerns at the European level: How to make people work longer, remain employable, develop sustainable competencies ?

And finally, how can public authorities take measures and incentives to support sustainable careers for individuals?Confessions of a Murdered Pope: Testament Of John Paul I
By Lucien Gregoire. 2015
As a bishop, the 33-day Pope John Paul I had ordered his priests to melt down their golden chalices and…
other implements of idol worship to build an orphanage. As a Pope, he lifted a chalice to worldwide television cameras: "This chalice contains one hundred and twenty of the world's most pristine diamonds. Do you really think this is what Christ meant by His Church?" The little boy Albino Luciani had grown up in a tug-of-war. His mother, a devout Catholic, prayed before crucifixes made of bits of wood. She told him, the only path to heaven was on his knees mumbling vain repetitions and asking for selfish favors. His father, an atheist, burned his mother's crucifixes in the stove. He told him, the only path to heaven was on his feet helping others. Under his father's guidance, he grew up free of prejudices peddled by religion. He reasoned atheists have a better chance of heaven than do the faithful. He wondered how faith had come about to begin with. When his father placed him in a seminary with the commission to bring change to the Church, he traced the evolution of Christianity from the Neanderthal to the Eucharist. His investigation culminated in his doctoral thesis dissertation: "If we are ever to determine what happens to us after we are gone--we must first determine the truth of the God we are born into. Then, we must define the human soul. Precisely what is this thing we are trying to save? These things we will do now..." Here in Confessions of a Murdered Pope, the reincarnated Albino Luciani--in the voice of a precocious ten year old boy--in a wealth of entertaining chats with his bewildered father, traces the evolution of Christianity from the Neanderthals, to the Grecians, to the Egyptians, to the Hebrews, to those who wrote of Jesus. He finds that religion evolves just like any other social practice, each prophet building on the creativity of those who came before him...Mirror of Our Becoming: Meditations on Nature's Beauty, Wisdom and Mystery

By Christine Wicker. 1999
When a Christian fundamentalist-turned-scoffer becomes the senior religion reporter for one of the nation's top newspapers, she and God find…
themselves on a collision course. As her journey begins, Christine Wicker knows God primarily as "the source you never get to interview." Despite this, she pursues Him anyway and begins to glimpse a God she hasn't dared hope might exist. She finds Him in unlikely places--the ceremony of a Wiccan coven, an East German shop window, a Northern Ireland breakfast table. To her grumpy amazement, she also finds Him in a place she swore she would never again look--the confines of a Southern Baptist church. It's a hard trip with surprising turns, but in the end Wicker finds a faith that answers the soul's call without ignoring the world's realities.Midnight’s Cry
By Robert C. Harris. 2011
Robert Harris provides an in-depth look at the problems with prophecy theories that teach a total at-once redemption of the…
church, whether it be the Rapture or Second Coming Only Teachings. Midnight's Cry is presented in three sections. Part I, "A More Sure Word of Prophecy," presents a thorough study of prophetic Scripture. This section ends with a preponderance of the evidence for Christ's Bridegroom Return. Also, Robert Harris stresses the necessity for teaching the need to look for the Day of Redemption, and preparing for this Bridegroom Return in the night of That Day before it dawns. In Part II, "The Doctrine," Robert Harris evaluates Calvin Theology, introducing and identifying the Father's Holy Commandment of the New Testament, which he stresses is a "faith commandment" of unparalleled importance. Part III, "Seven Timely Letters," reveals the intent of John's seven letters to the seven churches, and the seven divisions of today's end-time church. Harris also details the relationship of these letters to the Doctrine of Christ. Midnight's Cry enlightens readers to the problems with current end-time prophecy teachings through re-evaluation of sacred texts, and brings to light prophecy as it relates to current conditions.Where God is Ever Found: From Cloister to Couple, A Woman’s Autumn Journey
By Karen Karper Fredette. 2012
Hermits are a rare breed. Married hermits are about as common as spotted owls. What happens when you marry a…
Roman Catholic priest to a former nun and nest them in a mountainside hermitage named Still Wood? This memoir is a three-way love saga - God, a priest and a nun ministering to hermits world-wide from the isolated county of "Bloody Madison", NC. Each chapter weaves together "God-rich" incidents from four periods of my life: growth in a Catholic home; thirty years in a cloistered monastery; six years in a hermitage, and sixteen years at Still Wood, all confirming that always and everywhere "God is ever found."As millennials we stand accused--of aimlessness, entitlement, indifference, lack of gratitude-- merely for existing under the wrong conditions, for illustrating…
simply by that fact the wrongness of those conditions. This book offers an apologia for an entire generation. It is not so much a solution to our problems as an orientation allowing us to face them. It provides a way of understanding ourselves, leading us to see what our increasingly economic mode of being has lopped off and discarded. We need to rediscover meaning in a world that has become a matter of indifference to us. It will take work, it won't be easy, and it will have to start with our generation. "A provocative re-orientation to the spirit and outlook of millennials; a testimony of faith from a generation not supposed to have any."--NATHAN SCHNEIDER, journalist and author of Thank You, Anarchy: Notes from the Occupy Apocalypse "Both radical and mindful of the radical nature of tradition, these short essays set off fireworks that signal the debut of a remarkable young social critic."--ELIAS CRIM, founder and publisher, Solidarity Hall "Daniel Schwindt has demonstrated with incisive clarity and sobriety that a spiritual life is a real life. Solid, relevant, perceptive, uncompromising, compassionate without sentimentality, not a word out of place."--CHARLES UPTON, author of The System of Antichrist "Daniel Schwindt in a very brief book has produced a very powerful message. With an economy of expression that is nearly aphoristic, he has constructed a work that simultaneously grabs our hearts and our intellects. I hope that every member of Daniel's generation will read this book."--JOHN C. MÉDAILLE, author of Toward a Truly Free Market "In There Must Be More Than This, Daniel Schwindt gives utterance to the previously unarticulated existential ennui that plagues the so-called 'millennial' generation."--MICHAEL MARTIN, author of The Submerged RealityGreen at Work: Finding a Business Career that Works for the Environment

By Elizabeth Ayres. 2014
What does home mean to you? The spiritual autobiography "Home After Exile" begins in an orphanage. The author's adopted father…
dies when she's six. Her adopted mother says she's a worthless piece of garbage. Her stepfather haunts her bedroom at night. Through all that darkness, a mysterious 'something more' invites Ayres to a journey of spiritual growth. As a child, she builds altars in the woods to commune with a numinous Presence that is both More and All. As an adult, she sets out to find more prosaic cures for the loneliness that dogs her every step. Marriage. A convent. A search for her birthmother. Still it lures her on, that tantalizing glimpse of wholeness and belonging she had savored as a child. Finally and miraculously given, in the most unlikely place of all. Annie Dillard, author of "An American Childhood," says, "Sumptuous, lyrical prose. The earth-centered spirituality of this inspiring life story is an archetype of redemption, changing the way we relate to ourselves, each other and the planet." The Franciscan theologian Ilia Delio, OSF, author of "The Unbearable Wholeness of Being," says, "In her uplifting memoir, Elizabeth Ayres opens her soul to the world, revealing an insuperable human spirit that remains - despite years of abuse and abandonment - infinitely free and deeply in love with the God of life. Ayres is an artist of the human spirit, whose spiritual journey through death into life bears witness to the power of that divine Love which carries us on eagles' wings."Against the Stream
