A Treasury of Old Souls is a collection of engaging stories about Eric Bergeson's lifetime spent amongst a small town's aging population. Even as a young child, Eric found himself in friendships with people in their golden years. In mid-life, he realized that his own perspective on life, death and relationships had been powerfully shaped by these unique friendships. Poignant, funny, yet gently instructional, Treasury is masterfully told in Eric's signature entertaining style as he traces the growth of his love and understanding of the elderly from his first day of kindergarten to recent adventures with his centenarian great aunt Olive. Treasury is Eric Bergeson's sixth book.

Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience, The Care of Souls is a beautifully written treasury of proven wisdom which pastors will find themselves turning to again and again. Harold Senkbeil helps remind pastors of the essential calling of the ministry: preaching and living out the Word of God while orienting others in the same direction. And he offers practical and fruitful adviceâ€"born out of his five decades as a pastorâ€"that will benefit both new pastors and those with years in the pulpit. In a time when many churches have lost sight of the real purpose of the church, The Care of Souls invites a new generation of pastors to form the godly habits and practical wisdom needed to minister to the hearts and souls of those committed to their care.

The book contains on every page the wisdom of all nations, insights into the secrets of life, and a key to your success and happiness. Here is an exhaustive collection of quotable wisdoms from Lao Tse (570BC), Lord Buddha, and Socrates to the present (2015). It contains nearly 1,900 gems of art, wisdomm and humor from great thinkers, philosophers, poets, and worlds sharpest statesmen and sages. Proverbs signify the ocean of wisdoms of the universe. These are ineffaceable guides for the humanity. A collection of proverbs is, therefore, a good asset in the universal knowledge made available to the common men. A special feature of this book is that its contents know no barriers; they transcend language, country, culture, and civilization. In fact, it represents the quintessence of the wisdom of ages from far and near. While it is useful to anyone interested in enriching the fund of knowledge and enlarging the frontiers of his understanding, it should prove an invaluable companion to young scholars, and therefore, I would specially recommend it to them. All quotations and wise sayings have serially been numbered under suitable chapters for easy understanding. And some of these have been highlighted to draw the attention of readers towards these, which may be more relevant, useful, and applicable to solve our day-to-day problems. The book acts like a medicine that relieves tension and brings peace of mind. It is an ideal gift of love for someone you love dearly.

Christ's sheep need shepherding. That's where you come in. With more than 60 years of ministry between them, Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford have come to understand that everything in ministry--even administration, leadership, and planning--revolves around the ancient tradition of the care of souls. Pastors are entrusted with the care of a flock by the Good Shepherd and are called to be faithful to this task. But pastoring seems to be getting more and more difficult. Based on a sound theological framework, Senkbeil and Woodford present a set of practical tools for church leadership and strategy. Calling on their vast experience, they encourage pastors to protect, guide, and feed their flock as Jesus would, bridging the eternal wisdom of the word of God with the everyday practicality of hands-on leadership. Originally published as Church Leadership & Strategy, this revision includes a new chapter and litany.

Sarah Conover's collection of traditional Buddhist tales leads us to the kind of implicit understanding of ourselves and others that only stories can provide. Following the Buddha through his various transformations, these clarified, often humorous narrative journeys open the ancient masters profound and gentle teachings to persons of all ages, religions, races, and ideological persuasions. Over and over this marvelous book tells us, "let go of your anger, your fear, your greedy desire. Embrace gladness. Follow the path." And the stories themselves, simply as stories, from a wondrous pageant: of elephants, monkeys, monks, and men working through foolishness toward wisdom and delight.
