New York Times Bestseller Fame. Sex. Pain. Drugs. Death. Booze.
Money. Addiction. Redemption. Dizzying heights. Rock-bottom depths.
Desperation and elation-sometimes in the same hour. Not to mention
power . . . and the struggle for it. The world knows Lamar Odom as
a two-time NBA world champion who rocketed to uncharted heights of
fame thanks to being a member of both the storied Los Angeles
Lakers and the ubiquitous Kardashian empire. But who is Lamar,
really? Fans have long praised his accessibility and genuine
everyman quality-he is a blinding talent who has suffered a series
of heartaches, setback, and loss. But until now, his most candid
moments have remained behind closed doors . . . sometimes face-down
on the floor. In Darkness to Light, Lamar gives readers an intimate
look into his life like never before. His exclusive and revealing
memoir recounts the highs and lows of fame and his struggle with
his demons along the way to self-discovery and redemption. From the
pain of his unraveled marriage to Khloe Kardashian to the harmful
vices he used to cope-and the near-death experience that made him
rethink everything about his life-this is Lamar as you have never
before seen him. Lamar brings basketball fans directly into the
action of a game during the Lakers championship years. He shares
his personal account of the lifelong passion that started as one
shining light in a childhood marked by loss and led to his
international fame as one of the most extraordinary athletes of all
time. In this profoundly honest book, Lamar invites you to walk
with him through the good times and bad, while looking ahead to a
brighter future.

This book is a practical guide for professors who are interested in
being more effective teachers. It encompasses all the things a
professor must do to prepare to teach; to stimulate learning and
love of learning; to understand and engage all students; and to
help them find direction, purpose, and mission in their lives. The
book recognizes the importance of instructors, and how the best
teachers focus on inspiring lifelong learning, both in themselves
and in their students. Good teaching is rooted in good values, not
the mastery of content alone. Caring, empathy, and compassion are
important. The highest value of a teacher may often lie in the
mentorship she can provide to her students. Discover how to convey
passion and enthusiasm to students, and how to motivate your
students to want to learn and participate. The book describes
active learning approaches and how to make lectures more effective.
It also recognizes the moral responsibility professors have to help
the less talkative members of their class. The book deals with how
to overcome the challenges of fostering learning in large classes
where it is almost impossible for the instructor to get to know all
the students. How to keep students alert and energized by adding
variety to your classes through games, role-playing, humor, guest
speakers, field trips, videos, and other devices. How to maintain
enthusiasm and compassion all semester, and keep fatigue and
negative thoughts at bay. How to handle email and office hours, how
to provide feedback on work, and how to consider the whole student
as you evaluate performance and foster success. This book is a
useful guide as you chart your course through the challenges and
rewards of college teaching.
Theological Evaluation of the early development of the Assemblies
of God denomination in South East Wales British Pentecostalism is
linked to the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles through T. B.
Barratt and Anglican vicar Alexander A. Boddy at Sunderland.
Boddy's experience and subsequent ministry set the foundation in
Britain for the rise of the Apostolic Church, the Elim Church and
the Assemblies of God. Each of these Pentecostal denominations had
their roots in Wales. Following the Welsh Revival of 1904-05 some
(enthused by their experience) sought a deeper relationship with
God; and this search ultimately led them to Pentecostalism. A group
of eager believers emerged around the town of Crosskeys in South
East Wales. By 1912 they had established the Crosskeys Full Gospel
Mission, which soon became a centre for Pentecostal activity. The
central role of the Crosskeys group is seen in the development of
the Assemblies of God in Wales and Monmouthshire denomination which
was in existence by 1921. The Crosskeys based group had been in
correspondence with the American Assemblies of God (AG) regarding
joining that denomination as an official presbytery. It was this
action that caused a group of like-minded English Pentecostals to
pursue the establishment of the Assemblies of God in Great Britain
and Ireland in 1924. This British denomination incorporated some
thirty-eight Welsh Pentecostal assemblies. This book considers some
of the important theological, political and social influences which
shaped the brand of Pentecostalism that emerged in South East Wales
in the early twentieth century--a movement which was to have a wide
ranging influence on subsequent Pentecostal history far beyond the
borders of Wales.

Winding through the uncertainties of life and weaving in among
the weaknesses that plague you daily is a shining path. Your first
step on this path is your first step away from the things you hate
most about yourself, and your first step into the divine
transformation your heart has been longing for.
The Believer's Journey sets forth profound and revelatory truths
that can teach you how to have your own walk with God instead of
having to walk with Him vicariously through others.
Part I: Grasp what it means to be born again. Unlock essential
truths about the identity of every believer in Christ.
Part II: Witness the journey of the Apostle Paul, who took these
truths the distance. Explore the great apostle's map into the heart
of God.
Part III: Detect how to partner with the Holy Spirit to grow a
deep and unlimited relationship with God.
By the time you are finished reading, reflecting, and
incorporating these truths, your depth in the Spirit may never be
the same. Let The Believer's Journey: God's Path of Transformation
steer you along this sacred path.
