When people feel free to speak with authenticity, from their heart--at work--without fear, their workplace becomes a place inspired by shared purpose. Workplace productivity is marked by extraordinary quality. In Heart at Work, explore real stories that will inspire you to want to make speaking from the heart the norm, not the exception. Several practitioner/authors describe and tell actual stories about their own work. A toy manufacturer describes the connection to their customer, children, through play. A soldier describes how his struggle to survive PTSD, enables his ability to support other soldiers. An artistic director and choreographer reveals the transformation that occurs when dancers share in the creative process. College presidents describe their increased ability to open their hearts and then increased staff and student success as people become more engaged. A Medical doctor describe how their own personal transformation impacted his medical practice. Authors describe the ways their inner work and then meaningful sharing with colleagues, results in innovation, creativity and positive action, including better service to clients.

CHRISTOPHER RORY PAGE Two bodies, two souls and an inspiring four way conversation between contrasting mortals as they journey through the African bush and discover the way from Fear to faith. The author awakens one morning riddled with fear from a deafening noise outside his bungalow window. This is the beginning of an exploration into the self as he meets a primitive man who proves that there is more to someone than meets the eye. A non-verbal form of communication develops between as the two men dissect the concept of fear based on age-old theories and beliefs. The reader is introduced to the Ukuesaba Isitebhisa which translated from Zulu means Fear Ladder. This shows the progression of fear from the most superficial to the most concrete. The common denominator to minimise the fear on all levels is to instil faith in various forms. From Fear to faith is an inspiring story and teaches as much as it entertains. Light hearted moments dispersed with simple truths make it must read for anyone who aims to minimise the fears in their lives which prevent them from being who they were born to be.

Ever wondered what life is really about or why you were even born? Well . . .

How do you measure your faith? Is it by your standards, the world's standards, or by God's standards? God has written His words to us in Scripture that we can know His thoughts and know His ways and thus live by His standards alone.

All too often, mankind makes God after their own image and concludes that He thinks and acts just as they do. But it is not a sign of wisdom to try to second-guess God

What is the true meaning of faith? Learn how to improve your relationship with God. Wake up to a vibrant Christian life that reveals how close and real God truly is. Invite God to come into your life and to be a true blessing that carries you through the best and worst of times.

God's love for us is as close as our consent to love Him in return. Allow Him to be an intrinsic part of who you are. Allow this miracle to come true in your life.

What's your dream? Do you believe that God will answer your prayers so that you can fulfill that dream? Do you really believe that He is faithful? Unrealized dreams can cause deep pain that lasts for years. What takes away that pain? The journey through life is a learning process that each human must endure. I say endure because the learning is not always comfortable. You are not alone in anything you do. The lessons learned and talked about in this book can help anyone who is dealing with trouble, pain, human interaction, or faith. By reading this book, the author hopes you will learn a little about music, a little more about life, and a lot about the love of God.

As a young girl growing up in southeast Georgia, she couldn't wait to graduate high school, if not for anything but, to no longer have to go to church. Monica was eager to experience a world that she had only heard of but, was forbidden to take part in because of her mother's Christian values. She became tired of hearing all the fun that the other girls had over the weekend while all she did was attend school and church. Her desire to go to a football game, a club or maybe on a date, grew tremendously and all she dreamed about was getting out of her parents house.
She finds herself in the hands of a repeated rapist and murderer and now it's no longer her mother's faith but, her faith that will be put to the test.

Sex As . . . addresses a topic as old as life itself and awaits completion by an expert. That would be you. You are the only person-living, dead, or yet to be born-who has experienced sex in the ways that you have thought about, have experienced, or are considering doing. Sex As . . . invites you to create a written and/or pictorial journal of your sexual life, to be shared with others or not. You are prompted to respond to phrases such as: Sex as . . . love, Sex as . . . fear, Sex as . . . healing. Jeff DeVore does not attempt to provide answers or advice. The book is not research, not a how-to book, not a psychological/philosophical/theological volume on sex. Those excellent works can be found in libraries and bookstores. The themed pages invite you to tell your truth about this complex reality. As you do so, you may uncover new knowledge and freedom, release and forgiveness, joy and peace.

When I first developed this workshop, I could never have imagined the holiness that I would experience through the unfolding of beauty, spirit and power of the women in each circle. Like flowers that had never-before bloomed, they unfolded to reveal their exquisite innate selves. In fact, these women committed to a process of becoming themselves-each one unique, each one aligning with their personal truth. When that happens ... well ... you are about to see some of the results. Please take a moment on each page to absorb their creative work. It's not made for a museum. It's not built for resale. What you will find in these next few pages are the inner truths of ordinary women ... and, given your openness, extraordinary results. These women are incredible. You will see it in their faces. You will read it in their poems. You will find it in yourself ... because you share it, too.

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) - the self-study spiritual-thought system that teaches the way to love and forgiveness - has captivated the minds and captured the hearts of millions of people. Delivering inner peace where fear and pain once prevailed, its universal message is unsurpassed in its power to heal. Yet many students report that they have difficulty grasping the principles or keeping up with the lessons. So even while they yearn for the spiritual freedom the Course offers, they put the book aside, hoping to get to it one day. Alan Cohen, ACIM student and teacher of more than 30 years, takes the big-picture ideas of the Course and brings them down to earth in 22 concise, easy-to-understand chapters. Featuring entertaining examples, stories and real-life applications, this unique, reader-friendly guide will prove invaluable to longtime ACIM students and newcomers alike.
