What's Your Ministry?: 13 Ways To be 'All In'
by Carrie ShappellWhat could a girl who has lived a “charmed life” possibly have to tell the world? She doesn’t really have a story, right? Carrie Lightfoot Shappell is fully aware that even in this “charmed life” she would have nothing without God’s love, His sacrifice, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Psalms 96:3, David tells us to, “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” So, what does that mean? As Christians, we all have a story that we can share!Sometimes we forget this truth and we fail to see that God meets us exactly where we are. We miss out on opportunities to tell His good news, no matter where we are or what we have/haven’t experienced. We all have a purpose! We just need to believe this and be willing to slow down, in order to embrace and live out His plan. Throughout the past 40 years, God has given Carrie insightful perspectives in life’s successes and in life’s challenges/failures. God is not finished yet. Carrie has opened her heart to His calling, and He has commissioned her to share with the world what she has learned so far.We all have a ministry, and we can live it every single day. It doesn’t have to be a ministry within the church because we are given opportunities to be His hands and feet in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities. God has given us gifts to use in order to help others know His love and to help build His kingdom here on Earth. Our gift back is being “all in” for God and using those gifts to glorify Him.In What’s Your Ministry: 13 Ways to Be “All In”, Carrie guides her readers through parts of her personal journey to share what God has shown her throughout life. At the same time, she challenges readers to be “all in” for God.

Whatever Has Happened Is Justice
by Dada BhagwanThere are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!, Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, question how to get inner peace, and how to live through such trying circumstances. In the book “Whatever Has Happened Is Justice”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dadashri offers spiritual guidance on how to resolve conflict of injustice inherent in life. Dadashri provides profound insight into the law of karma, explaining who is “The Doer”, who is at fault, and what is the cause behind every instance of suffering. To attain an inner state of no worry, to begin to live in peace, or even to learn how to stay healthy amidst life challenges, this book will prove precious.
Whatever It Takes: A Story of Family Survival
by Elaine LordanElaine Lordan is well-known to millions as EastEnders' Lynne Slater. Yet the real-life heartache and loss she came to suffer eclipsed even the rollercoaster troubles of her TV character. After leaving the show, Elaine lost her beloved mother when she took her life under a train. Then later that same year, just two days after her wedding, Elaine lost James, her one-year-old son and only child, to a rare condition. Whatever It Takes is the story of a no-nonsense working-class girl who hit the big time and enjoyed several happy years as one of the nation's favourite soap stars. Things took a downward turn as her heavy drinking and affair with a married man led to her being hounded by the press. Yet Pete would become the love of her life and together they would experience the unfathomable joy of having a child. This flush of happiness was short-lived, though, as Elaine felt the full impact of her mother's death, while her son James battled for life. It wasn't long before family life revolved around the hospital - hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.Full of larger-than-life characters from her boisterous Irish family and close circle of north London friends, Elaine tells her story with heart-wrenching candour. In this life-affirming memoir of overcoming tragedy, we see how Elaine's indomitable spirit and innate humour have carried her through even the bleakest moments, and how one woman's 'sink or swim' approach has ensured her survival.

In today's competitive market, where even tiny differences can be decisive, for both employees and organizations, exploiting such factors can make all the difference.
