God intends everyone to be successful in life, according to His plan and destiny for each person. He wants our lives to shine with His love and glory. The Alternative Plan is my testimony. Even though I was a renegade, God restored me, after I had spent years running away from Him to pursue an independent life. The early influences that shaped my outlook on life were based on poverty, a fear of failure, and a need for affirmation, security, and love. As a backslider, I relied heavily on my intellect, rationale, and professional accolades to succeed. I spent years wearily pursuing an empty, meaningless lifestyle based on ambition, self-reliance, and self-focus. But the Lord, in His goodness and mercy, led me through many difficulties to a secure place of complete trust in His lordship. No matter how many mistakes you have made or how far you have walked away from the Lord, God has not changed His plans for you. God can still realign your life to fit the plan He intended for you. All age-groups and young immigrants can benefit from my story. Culture shock and the sometimes fast-paced, high-pressure business world can certainly present a challenge of faith to newcomers trying to find their way in a new country. This book is for those who feel trapped, those who feel like they have lost themselves, or were disappointed in their search for success, security, and stability. The optimum path to success is Jesus Christ. This book is a testimony of how God’s mercy and love powerfully pursued and fully restored me. If God can do this for me, He can do the same for you!

This book, Encounter with Destiny, tells you the truth. It may be that you dont have an answer to lifes issues, but God does. You may not have the strength, but God does.

Translation of the Sikh Religion Holy Scriptures The Guru Granth Sahib , or Adi Granth, is the religious Scriptures of Sikhism. It is a voluminous text of 1430 pages, compiled and composed during the period of Sikh Gurus, from 1469 AD to 1708 AD. Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708), the Tenth and final living Guru, affirmed the sacred text Adi Granth as his successor, elevating it to Guru Granth Sahib. The text remains the holy scripture of the Sikhs, regarded as the teachings of the Ten Gurus. The Adi Granth was first compiled by the Fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev (1563–1606), from Hymns of the first five Sikh Gurus and other Saints of that era, including those of the Hindu and Muslim faith.

Covering the major monotheistic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—as well as selected Eastern religions and Bahá'í, Zoroastrianism, and Mormonism, this cross-cultural book offers excerpts of sacred texts and interprets passages to enable a deeper understanding of these religious writings. Sacred Texts Interpreted: Religious Documents Explained gives readers the opportunity to examine—directly—the primary sources of different religions and to better understand these texts through expert commentary on selected passages. The interpretative material investigates the nature of sacred texts along with the relationship between sacred scripture and canon, and it explains why these sacred texts have enduring significance and influence. The author provides suggestions on how to read a sacred text before turning to the textual selections from 13 religious traditions arranged alphabetically, beginning with the Bahá'í religion and ending with Zoroastrianism. Each chapter is devoted to the primary textual sources of a particular religious tradition and is prefaced by an introduction to the literature that places it within its historical and cultural heritage. The emphasis for each religion is on its foundational scriptures that are often considered sacred by its adherents. Readers will gain a much greater appreciation of how powerful religious texts have always been across human culture and throughout millennia—and of how religious thought and ideology have shaped daily life, built civilizations, inspired art and literature, and incited wars and violence.

This book, and course, is designed to enable Christians to lead confidently based on their identity in Christ. Leadership is tough. Many leaders come to leadership from competence in a different field, without training, and fear that they cannot really lead and will be 'found out' one day. Many leaders are insecure, constantly assessing how they are coming across, and where challenges may arise. Being grounded in Christ is the foundation for all true Christian leadership. This identity-based leadership makes us less driven, reduces the risk of burnout, and enables us to survive personal attacks, use conflict positively and overcome other barriers to effective leadership. Once we operate from this secure base, centred and grounded in Christ, we become less vulnerable to threats to our status, we cease to have anything to hide (because we can afford to be vulnerable) and we are less likely to be blown off course by strong-willed people wanting to push their own agenda.
