Responsible Management in Theory and Practice in Muslim Societies
delineates principles of responsible management from an Islamic
perspective, exploring the concept of responsibility in Islamic
religious texts, and how the understanding of responsibility
evolved in Islamic jurisprudence. He explains aspects of individual
and group responsibility in Islam and the dissonance between
theoretical discourse and practical application. Yusuf M. Sidani
focuses on the factors that have both facilitated and hampered the
application of responsible management principles in practice in
this unique context. Themes explored across the book include
Islamic texts and responsible leadership, responsibility in Islamic
jurisprudence, individual and group responsibilities, and bridging
the gap divide between theory and practice in Muslim societies.
Sidani also poses proactive questions, including 'Who is a
responsible manager?' and 'what does it take to reaffirm both
individual and collective responsibilities', and 'whether things
can be put back on track again in Muslim societies, and how?'
In 2004, Jim McKinley contracted Guillain-Barre syndrome. He was
trapped inside himself with only slight movements to acknowledge
conversation. Many saw him during this time and believed the end
was at hand, but God had other plans. Jim did survive and now tells
you about his journey. He dealt with pain and demons and was
rescued by angels and describes the angel who hovered near his bed
one day. He teaches us of God's love, the importance of family and
friends, and much more.
When a woman from Samaria comes to draw water at Jacob's well,
Jesus, known prophetically as Shiloh, Prince of Peace, offers her
an incredible gift-living water. All she has to do is ask, which,
by the way, still applies today. Jesus explains that everyone who
drinks from His well, even those of questionable character like
her, will never be thirsty again, and the water will become a
spring welling up to eternal life (NIV). In Shiloh's Well you can
read all about an overflowing, abundant life that is available to
all those who drink of this miraculous living water. "My prayer is
that these pages will proclaim a clear, unequivocal message of
eternal hope and spiritual truth pointing to the God who has
sustained and blessed me my entire life. May Shiloh's Well make you
smile, touch your heart, lead you humbly to the feet of Christ,
enlighten your spiritual understanding, and challenge your
commitment to Christian service "
Baghdadi Jewish Networks in the Age of Nationalism traces the
participation of Baghdadi Jews in Jewish transnational networks
from the mid-nineteenth century until the mass exodus of Jews from
Iraq between 1948 and 1951. Each chapter explores different
components of how Jews in Iraq participated in global Jewish civil
society through the modernization of communal leadership, Baghdadi
satellite communities, transnational Jewish philanthropy and
secular Jewish education. The final chapter presents three case
studies that demonstrate the interconnectivity between different
iterations of transnational Jewish networks. This work
significantly expands our understanding of modern Iraqi Jewish
society by going beyond its engagement with Arab/Iraqi nationalism
or Zionism/anti-Zionism to explore Baghdadi participation within
Jewish transnational networks.
As children, most of us freely express the joy-the music-within us.
Our emotions are close to the surface, and we can bring them forth
at the drop of a hat. But as we become adults, the joy seems to get
buried deeper and deeper. Real life can take the music from our
very being. But does it have to be that way? Is there anything we
can do about it? In The Musical Soul Train: Discover the Songs from
Your Heart, author Philip "PM" Moey shares his knowledge and
experiences of life's spiritual pathways. Moey's fifteen years of
research has taught him that though there are many universal
principles about life, many are fundamentally the same but
approached from different angles. The paths eventually lead to a
single life worth living if you choose to do it well. And to live
well, you cannot allow the music to die within you. Moey includes
his personal musical flavor, but that does not mean it has to be
ours; he reminds us that each of us has a song to be sung and
showcased. The Musical Soul Train will thrill anyone who longs to
tell his or her own story and anyone who is looking for a more
meaningful, inspired life.
Why not me? Is the biblical study to challenge and encourage women
to embrace the calling, gifts and anointing that is upon their
life. As it is written," before I formed you in the womb I knew and
approved of you as my chosen instrument..". Jeremiah 1:5 (amp) For
we are God's own handiwork recreated in Christ Jesus that we may do
those good works which God predestined for us....Ephesians
2:10(amp) In times past and present there has been the question of
women in ministry. What about the message and the available leader
being identified and trained to carry out the mission that has been
set. The spirit of the Lord has been poured out upon all flesh. It
is time to take the path which has been prepared.
Have you ever wondered where God was when things seem to be
going wrong in your life? Maybe you have even asked why. In A
Father's Love, author James Sienkiewicz takes you on a journey
seeking the answers to those questions as the storms of life
hit.
