by Tami Heim Toni Birdsong@stickyjesus is a fusion of discipleship, faith sharing, marketing, and a Get Started 101 on Twitter, Facebook and blogging. @stickyjesus lays out the current day reality—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and challenges Christ followers to regain our God-given dominion on earth, which includes the Internet. With knowledge, skills, and Holy Spirit guidance, we encourage believers to dig in and learn how to navigate this online world together—and give Christ a voice in the online world. The book also includes personal testimonies. Most are from everyday people impacting others’ lives and culture online for Christ.

A Arte de Manter Boas Relações
by Dale CarnegieManter boas relações com quem nos rodeia é uma arte que pode ser aprendida. Só precisa de ter um bom professor. Ser uma pessoa gregária e carismática é muitas vezes encarado como algo que ou se é ou não se é. Como se se tratasse de algo natural, intrínseco a cada um, genético. No entanto, se observarmos com atenção, é possível distinguir qualidades comuns a quem partilha essa forma de ser e de estar na vida, como a generosidade, a empatia, o otimismo, a cordialidade, a disponibilidade. Desenvolver uma personalidade mais sedutora e influenciar as pessoas e o ambiente ao nosso redor está, portanto, ao alcance de qualquer um, independentemente das nossas origens. Neste livro, ficarão claras quais as fundações de qualquer relação sólida, seja ela profissional ou pessoal: construir relações baseadas na confiança mútua; criar um ambiente de trabalho agradável onde a cooperação e a camaradagem sejam palavram de ordem; avaliar as diferentes personalidades para melhor nos relacionarmos com os outros; agir e reagir quando confrontados com pessoas difíceis; discordar sem ser desagradável; compreender e dominar as nossas emoções e as dos outros. Dale Carnegie diz-nos quais as regras de ouro de qualquer relação e como aplicá-las pode mudar radicalmente a sua vida.
