Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This fictional story is based upon a mercenary operation in Mozambique where three ageing ex-soldiers were tasked to restore order in the area of the port of Maputo and railyard complex so that aid and commercial vessels could conduct their business.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If you research the life of Martin Luther King Jr. you might find references to a time in his childhood, perhaps when he was still known as Michael and that it was rumored he had attempted suicide.Years later in Memphis he shared his vision with the world. 'I've been to the mountaintop,' he declared, 'and I've seen the Promised Land.'He asked his listeners to carry on with faith, even if they had to do it without him. He shared with them his very personal belief that if he could be given the opportunity to stand in heaven and choose the time and place he would most like to live, he would want to travel through the ages to watch Lincoln and the great Martin Luther and the builders of Rome and many others. But, he assured the crowd; in the end he would ask for just what he had received, a few years in the second half of the twentieth century to witness the beginnings of change unfold.Jump from the window with Michael and travel to the mountaintop. You will never hear the words 'I have a dream' again without reliving this Freedom Ride.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Through the years, I have heard many people mention the word Remnant. I even had an idea of what the word meant. But it was not until I was traveling to one of my churches in King Fisher, Oklahoma that the I Lord spoke to me concerning this word. He said, 'Lydia, I have never used an entire church to carry out my perfect plan. I have always used a remnant. You have been looking to the entire church for the help that you need to carry out the Vision that I have given you. That is not how I work. Within every Church, there is always a Remnant of People.Time and again, I have found myself stressed out . . . disappointed because I believed everyone in the Church should feel the same way I do about carrying out God's Vision. I placed my attention on the Church as a whole---not on that special people God had set apart for His perfect plan. The Word that God spoke to me brought revelation and freedom. It was then that the Lord told me to write this book. Get ready for the greatest revelation you will ever experience. Ask God to open your understanding and reveal the unveiled truth about God's Remnant.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We live in an addictive society in which compulsiveness has become an art form, and most people have dependencies of some sort. This book was written to help all dependent people learn ways to follow a spiritual path, even if their dependencies might be one of those potentially less severe than alcoholism or drug addiction: such as workaholism, materialism, excessive anxiety, or relationship difficulties.To quote from the author: People these days talk seriously of addictions to television, the Internet, or to acquiring material possessions. These are usually self involved occupations. It's as though humanity knows somehow that joy is their natural state, but they lack the ability to open enough to experience it. They are seeking comfort and joy in all the wrong places.This memoir tells the story of three generations afflicted with alcoholism and its effects on family and friends. It chronicles the author's growing up with an alcoholic mother in the middle of the twentieth century, and her own later development of the same illness despite her strong commitment to avoid this. It describes the methods she has used to remain in recovery over twenty seven years, and includes information learned from her twenty plus years of working as an addictions' counselor, and from her ongoing relationships with an alcoholic spouse and an emotionally disabled son.This book speaks to issues of import to much of humanity, such as abandonment, the need for safely and security in an insecure world, the need to give control back to a spiritual source, the need for forgiveness of self and others, and the primary need to find Spirit within and not without. To quote again from Ms. Sherry's words:I no longer think of God as dwelling in heaven, wherever that might be. As a child, heaven seemed to be a place above the sky. However, even though I now know more of the facts about our Universe, I still can't identify a place called heaven.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book, who is supervising the supervisor is an awareness, an eye-opener and an attention getter for workplaces. It serves as a guide to help employees; supervisors and managers deal with the day-to-day problems at work - something that they have to face up to as long as they have to deal with people. It is a book that many of you will be most surprised to read in order to find out that these kinds of incidents do occurred at work. Though it may seem like everything is going okay, if we as managers and supervisors do not make ourselves and the environment an open door, we could find ourselves in serious implications. Individual workplaces that practice bullying could become known as a brutal place to work, where employees do not feel safe and secure. Thus, this could lead to financial strains on a company, legal fees or long term disability payments. As employers and employees, we must be vigilant about the environment we work in. Bullying is an epidemic that will destroy the workplace and people. The book would like managers and supervisors to realize the danger of poor supervision. It is a good start to listen to the concerns, fears and feelings of the staff. This level of maturity does not come easy, but it is one of the best ways to good supervision. There are some supervisors who want to have complete control. Such is the cause of so much stress in our lives. Stress is cancer. Cancer kills! No employee.no supervisor.no manager should have to go through physical, mental and emotional minutes, hours, days, months or years of psychological anguish of work abuse. It is wrong.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Most scholarly writing about Joyce's Ulysses has concentrated on its parallels with homer's odyssey, catholic theology, Dublin's streets, Shakespearean references (especially hamlet} , all of which, and much more, Joyce included in his novel but emphasizing the interpretation of these overlays to the story has led to the book appearing almost impenetrable to readers who might otherwise enjoy it.Mood attempts to cut through these grids and go directly to the strengths of the novel: - its suspenseful double plot, its breathtaking wordplay, its eroticism and, above all, its constant hilarious comedy. One doesn't need to know a thing about the Odyssey to enjoy Ulysses thoroughly. The life of the young Stephen Dedalus is in a mess and he obviously needs an elder's advice. The older Leopold Bloom yearns to pass on his wisdom to someone younger. He also learns his wife Molly is going to commit adultery for the first time. These plots, not Catholic theology or Hamlet, is what the novel is 'about'. And the comedy, the sex, the heart-stopping suspense and the verbal fireworks are what drive the reader on.Mood's book makes this obvious on every page. One will never have difficulty reading Ulysses again. The late dean of American critics Leslie Fiedler said it would be 'more useful [for beginning readers] than anything else I have seen'. Best-selling Dublin novelist and memoirist Nuala O'Faolain said it is a 'charming and funny account of Ulysses' and 'quite authoritative as well.' Tom Wolfe commented, 'I certainly enjoyed your Joycean excursion, particularly the part about Joyce's interweaving of various narrative voices.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The early 1930's were a period of dire foreboding for the entire world. The dark clouds of World War II were rapidly gathering, as the Jewish population of Europe was becoming especially vulnerable to the most hideous form of genocide that had ever been devised. It was with this background that a young boy made his way to school on the morning after Kristalnacht. In the fascinating and absorbing chapters that follow, the author, Norbert Weinberg, vividly describes how his family made it to the shores of America, via a year in London. Dressed in European-style knickers and hardly able to speak English, the boy tackles his social and educational challenges. His success is apparent when he is ordained as a rabbi at Yeshiva University in New York.
