If you think true personal change is easier said than done, you must read God's Heartbeat! The author, a career Naval Officer with an MBA from the Navy Postgraduate School, in Monterey, California, draws upon real-life experiences in war-torn Iraq, as well as leadership skills gained from a twenty-year career working and living aboard ships, submarines, and air stations. Focused on achieving true personal change, God's Heartbeat provides a new academic model of life leadership, and demonstrates how your own view of the world can sometimes prevent you from seeing the world as it really is. Filled with inspiring examples and a straightforward interpretation of the expectations laid out in the Holy Bible, God's Heartbeat offers simple tools to achieve Divine intervention and miraculous change. God's Heartbeat opens your eyes and heart to easily understood instructions from God. This witty narrative of inspiring allegories provides clever answers to often-asked questions about life, death, and how the two are interrelated. God's Heartbeat helps us to see that our days are filled with thousands of choices, yet we often pay too much attention to the frivolous choices and not enough attention to the greatest choice of all: Do you absolutely, truly believe in God? Who does your heart beat for? God's Heartbeat confirms that life here on earth is actually quite simple... if you really and truly believe in God. Ultimately based on the powerful Book of Proverbs, God's Heartbeat is Your Instruction Book for Life. If you follow the simple instructions in God's Heartbeat, you will always be on the right path. You will always choose the correct course. And you will never wonder, wander, or worry. Youwon't wonder if your path is leading you astray. You won't wander into the realm of the unprotected. And you will never worry about the complexities of life. John H. Clark's journey of discovery led him to a profound Truth about our lives here on earth and God's spiritual instructions for us all. If you think true personal change is easier said than done, you must read God's Heartbeat!

Inspired by the British pastime of "letterboxing," questing has become one of the fastest growing recreational-educational activities on this side of the Atlantic. In scores of communities, people from toddlers and teens, parents and grandparents follow maps, clues, and rhyming riddles seeking treasure boxes hidden in natural and cultural locations. In this book, two experts in community education explain how individuals and organizations can create and organize permanent quests to foster place-based education, stewardship, adventure, and fun.
In the process of undertaking quests participants "celebrate and strengthen community life" by forging "lifelong connections to the distinct landscapes and cultural features of their home ground." This book is intended to offer inspiration and practical advice for parents, teachers, community group leaders, and others interested in learning about where they live and building community ties through questing.
Questing draws upon the well-established success of a program in New England in which individuals, students, and organizations create clues and maps highlighting the special places and stories of their community. The book presents a rationale for place-based education and quest program goals and objectives that can easily be implemented in any community.
