DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn urgent, visionary, and heartfelt collection of essays focused on recovering deeper, time–honored values against the ravages of modern society. . In six elegant, linked literary essays, Berry considers the degeneration of language that is manifest throughout our culture, from poetry to politics, from conversation to advertising, and he shows how the ever–widening cleft between the words and their referents mirrors the increasing isolation of individuals and their communities from the land. “This skillfully conceived book is one of the strongest contemporary arguments for literary tradition: a challenging credo, un–glib, calmly assured, clearly illuminating—and required reading for those seriously interested in the interplay between literature, ethics, and morality.” —Kirkus Reviews “[Berry’s] poems, novels and essays . . . are probably the most sustained contemporary articulation of America’s agrarian, Jeffersonian ideal.” —Publishers Weekly

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany experienced facilitators, OD consultants, coaches, and organizational leaders increasingly find themselves standing in the fire - working in situations where group and community members are polarized, angry, fearful, and confused. Facilitator Larry Dressler has come to believe that simply picking up yet another method or technique wont help in situations like these. What has a truly transformational impact is what he calls the "facilitators presence". Cultivating an ability to access a compassionate presence that people experience as open, authentic, and clear in intention during the most difficult situations moves facilitators from being competent professionals to being on a path toward self-mastery.

He catches up with his father, Doug, who is entered in a rodeo in Mesquite, Arizona, and is in trouble with the law as usual. Doug is now in danger of violating his parole when he is thrown in jail for starting a brawl in a local saloon and he is also a possible suspect in the attempted murder of one of the rodeo promoters. The victim, a man named Mancuso, is not expected to live. Brad needs to clear his father before the local sheriff realizes that Doug is on parole from an earlier incarceration for murder in Arizona. Information on Mancuso leads Brad to Reno, Nevada, where he soon learns of a plot to kill an old friend and her husband. When Brad suspects this same plot may be tied to the Arizona incident, he seeks help from his cousin, Gary, a Phoenix police officer. The two men attempt to prevent more killing and clear Doug of any involvement in the current crime.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLine upon line, precept upon precept, Standing by the Pillar challenges the contemporary Christian's understanding of God's requirements on their lives. Utilizing biblical stories as analogies to our current situation, this book reveals that the Christian cannot have a significant impact on the culture unless and until he serves God with all of his heart, soul, mind and strength. To attempt any compromise on God's call on each Christian's life is to run the risk being relegated to insignificance. Trained as an educator, Matt Bower has not only taught social sciences in both public and private schools, he has done extensive research and teaching on the practical application of biblical principles in everyday life. Now as a pastor, he teaches and trains others in a distinctly Christian worldview. Matt pastors Valley Covenant Community church located in the heart of the Yakima Valley, where he lives with his wife and their seven children.
