Richard Blackaby explores what may be causing you to miss out on an abundant life of grace, and how simply knowing about it is a far cry from embracing a grace-filled lifestyle. Once you fully experience and grasp its essence, you can't help but "practice" God's undeserved favor by passing it on to everyone around you. Grace shares a close relationship with love, is never static, and is always searching for those willing to receive it. This book focuses on pointed and practical life application so that you can attain the power of gracious living today! Let God's Grace Flow Through You God's grace is so boundless, so contrary to human nature, and so unconditionally given that you will never understand it... ...until you give it away. Get ready to be washed in pure joy, renewed by a fresh sense of gratitude for the rich, undeserved favor God continually bestows upon you. Dr. Richard Blackaby explores what it means to make God's grace a lifestyle and how it will become personal, practical, and recognizable in your life. You'll discover: What genuine grace is and what it is not The power of life words and the devastation of death words The secret to establishing a grace-filled home How to recognize grace-giving opportunities Ways to extend grace when you don't think you can Unable to deny His unconditional love, or even to keep it to yourself, soon grace will have a face. And the reflection in your mirror will tell its story. Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound It's a living, breathing testament to the depth of God's love. You don't deserve it, but you've got it. So, what are you doing with God's amazing grace? Many Christians sing of its sweet sound, but fail to extend it to others-missing the point entirely. Putting a Face on Grace provides practical ways you can become a conduit of God's grace to those around you. Dr. Richard Blackaby's personal stories will have you nodding in agreement, laughing with empathetic understanding, and eagerly embracing a new life worth passing on. You will become the essential element that keeps God's life-giving grace flowing. And if you think you're unworthy of such an honor, that's good. That's grace... Story Behind the BookMuch has been said about God's grace. Observing it, defining it, soaking it in. But little has been said about bringing it full circle, to the point where we freely receive and give it on a daily basis. This is what lifestyle grace is all about. Richard Blackaby's book hits a market in need, and "reinvents" grace for us all-exploding our understanding of this tremendous gift and bringing it into a new, tangible dimension.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Pyramid Quest
by Robert M. SchochThe Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"? In Pyramid Quest, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings. .

Pérdidas, sorprendentes pérdidas: Cuentos y relatos de valor en tiempos de angustia
by Edith NavaNo se pierde con las pérdidas. En la vida los cambios son constantes, pero pocas veces advertimos que al modificarse las circunstancias se generan pérdidas y ganancias. En este movimiento perenne a veces uno sufre la pérdida de un ser querido o la falta de algo que uno valoraba; un empleo, una relación amorosa, quizá la salud. La reacción natural es sentir tristeza, enojo, dolor, pero en medio de todos esos sentimientos uno debe serenarse y reflexionar sobre lo ocurrido. Uno puede quedarse ahí atorado o actuar iniciando un proceso de sanación. El primer paso es aferrarse a la vida, al amor, viendo hacia adelante. En este libro encontrará historias que lo ayuden a reflexionar, a entender que si bien una pérdida no es fácil de aceptar, es parte de la vida y uno debe valerse de la inteligencia para entender lo ocurrido y seguir viviendo, ya que lo que importa no es lo que a uno le ocurre, sino lo que uno hace con lo que le ocurre en la vida. Edith Nava dice que toda pérdida conlleva una ganancia. En ocasiones el beneficio no es tan claro, pero quien vive el duelo debe a través de la reflexión encontrarle sentido a la experiencia vivida.

Qual É Il Vostro Problema? NO, Veramente, Qual É Il Vostro Problema?
by Frank Daley Elena ZanettiQual è il Vostro problema?No, veramente, Qual É il Vostro problema?"La guida per identificare i problemi alla maniera di Sherlock Holmes.Avete mai cercato di risolvere un problema e semplicemente“non riuscivate”a farlo?Vi faceva impazzire? Non potevate dormire, eravate preoccupati, frustrati e ansiosi perché il problema doveva veramente essere risolto ma semplicemente non riuscivate a immaginarvi come gestirlo? A volte vi sentite Sherlock Holmes? Questo libro vi aiuta a tentare di smettere di risolvere un problema alla cieca quando non sapete neanche di che si tratta. Sherlock Homes non inizia a risolvere un caso senza sapere che crimine sia, identifica il vero crimine e poi procede a risolvere il caso (il problema). Non sapete risolvere un problema fino a quando non sapete di che si tratta, sembra ovvio, ma non lo è. Molte persone non riescono a risolvere i problemi perché non sanno che c'è una prima fase nel processo: identificare problema.Molte volte pensiamo o sentiamo di sapere quale sia un determinato problema ma quando cerchiamo di risolverlo, non riusciamo.Ci pensiamo continuamente ma il problema rimane.Siamo lenti o stupidi? No, è perché non riusciamo a risolvere un problema fino a che non lo definiamo. Sherlock trova il vero problema scartando tutte le idee errate (provenienti da lui o altri).Conosce quando la sua mente o emozioni gli stanno giocando brutti scherzi.Si conosce. Anche voi vi conoscerete meglio quando leggerete questo libro! Lo scrittore, Frank Daley, è il fondatore del Self-Knowledge College, un gruppo di auto-sviluppo che aiuta le persone a scoprire quali problemi stiano impedendo loro di avere successo a livello personale e professionale.Il libro si intitola "Chi siete e cosa state facendo qui?Il modo per conoscere se stessi e ottenere ciò che si vuole".

Qual è la vostra eredità? 101 idee per iniziare a creare e costruirne una
by Anca IoviţăVi trovate ad un bivio? Vi domandate che cosa dovreste fare della vostra vita? Pensate che essa potrebbe essere più facile se solo riusciste a prendere una direzione? Nonostante la gente comunemente non parli di eredità, queste sono domande che, nelle notti silenziose, sorgono nella mente di quasi tutti. Specialmente in quelli di noi che raggiungono particolari tappe della vita; quali l'età adulta, la mezza età e il pensionamento. Avete mai prestato attenzione al processo di metamorfosi di una farfalla? L’uscita dalla crisalide è un momento difficile e doloso. Potreste pensare di farle un favore tagliandone la parte superiore per agevolare la sua fuoriuscita da essa, ma se lo farete, le ali della farfalla non si svilupperanno propriamente e resterà menomata per il resto della sua vita. Sfide e sacrifici sono necessari perché la metamorfosi abbia luogo e sono allo stesso modo necessari anche per creare e costruire un’eredità. Sebbene voi siate gli UNICI ad avere la responsabilità di sapere cosa vi spinga a vivere un altro giorno nella vostra pelle e nella situazione in cui vi trovate, questa raccolta di idee su come iniziare a creare e costruire la vostra eredità potrebbe essere proprio la direzione di cui avete bisogno. Uno scopo nella vita è la ragione principale per la quale le persone vanno avanti a dispetto di ciò che gli succede nel presente. Un simile scopo rende la vita non solo sopportabile, ma anche piacevole. Perciò, questa raccolta di idee è rivolta a coloro che comprendono l'importanza di lasciare dietro di sé un'eredità, materiale e non, ma che non hanno la minima idea della ragione per cui vivono e cosa dovrebbero fare della loro vita. Si tratta di una stimolante raccolta per tutti gli animi creativi in generale e per le persone che non hanno mai guardato a se stesse sotto questa luce o che non hanno mai pensato di poter dare vita a qualcosa che avesse un valore. Queste idee sono organizzate come un
Qual é o seu problema? Ou melhor, qual é o seu verdadeiro problema?
by Frank Daley Danilo Aguilar MirandaVocê alguma vez já tentou resolver um problema e simplesmente não conseguiu? Isso não o deixa louco? Você perde o sono, fica preocupado, frustrado e ansioso porque quer resolver o problema mas não consegue ou não sabe como fazer para resolvê-lo? Alguma vez você teve vontade de pedir ajuda a Sherlock Holmes? "Qual é o seu problema? Ou melhor, qual é o seu verdadeiro problema?" ajudará você a deixar de tentar resolver problemas cegamente, sem antes saber do que se trata. Sherlock Homes não tentava desvendar nenhum mistério sem saber qual tinha sido o crime. Ele identificava o verdadeiro crime e só então tentava desvendar o caso (resolver o problema). Você não pode resolver um problema antes de saber do que se trata. Parece óbvio, mas não é. Muita gente não consegue resolver seus problemas porque não sabem que o primeiro passo para consegui-lo é: identificar o problema. Muitas vezes achamos que sabemos qual é o nosso problema, mas quando tentamos resolvê-lo, não funciona. Pensamos muito para encontrar uma solução, mas o problema persiste. Será que somos estúpidos? NÃO, é porque não podemos resolver nada antes de detectar qual é o problema. Sherlock desvendava o verdadeiro problema descartando ideias equivocadas (dele mesmo ou dos outros). Ele sentia quando sua mente ou suas emoções tentavam enganá-lo. Ele se conhecia. Você se conhecerá melhor depois de ler este livro. "Qual é o seu problema?" não ensina a resolver problemas (Sherlock Holmes, sim), mas ensina uma coisa que você deve saber antes de tentar solucionar qualquer situação: descobrir qual é o seu verdadeiro problema. O que você acha que é o seu problema pode não ser. Porque podemos identificar problemas de maneira incorreta. Por isso, não admira que não consigamos resolvê-los. É necessário aplicar uma nova estratégia para

by Bella Depaulo Mayara LealA maioria das pessoas valorizam a honestidade. Elas querem dizer a verdade. E elas também valorizam a gentileza. Porém, às vezes, a honestidade e a gentileza colidem. Isso acontece quando dizer a verdade seria doloroso, mas ser gentil envolveria contar uma mentira. Como as pessoas lidam com esse conflito de nobres intenções? Quando a Verdade Dói: A Mentira em Nome da Gentileza é um livro com duas partes. Na primeira, vamos examinar os vários tipos de mentiras que as pessoas contam para poupar os sentimentos dos outros. Vamos explorar tanto as mentiras bondosas que as pessoas contam diariamente, sem muita premeditação ou desconforto, como as mentiras mais graves que as pessoas já contaram ou ouviram. Quando as pessoas têm de escolher entre a verdade e a gentileza, quais fatores fazem com que a balança penda mais para um sentido ou o outro? Você verá algumas respostas a essa pergunta e também as táticas que usamos quando queremos evitar magoar alguém sem contar uma mentira deslavada. Na parte dois, eu apresento uma compilação de questões relevantes para o tema deste livro que vários repórteres já me perguntaram ao longo dos anos, e então compartilho minhas respostas. Essa parte é dividida em três: A psicologia das mentiras pequenas Diferenças entre os sexos na mentira cotidiana Mentindo nos relacionamentos Compre este livro e descubra mais sobre o mundo das mentiras.
