In life, we often look for fulfillment in our performance. We try to
earn our way to happiness by achieving goals and meeting obligations.
We try everything we can to earn favor with God. But what we find
instead is disappointment, fear, and weariness.
In Grace, Period., Pastor Robert Morris shows that we don’t need to
live this way. What we truly want has already been given to us—we
simply need to receive it!
Looking in-depth at the life and teachings of Jesus, Pastor Morris
reveals the beauty and perfection of God’s amazing grace. He uncovers
its sheer abundance, lavishness, and extravagance, and explains what
happens in our day-to-day lives when we fully accept it. Exploring the
blessings we have now—access to God’s love, favor, and approval—Pastor
Morris teaches us how to find rest, gratitude, fruitfulness,
confidence, joy, and the list goes on.
In other words, Grace, Period. is a clear and compelling roadmap for
arriving at an end to striving and shame. It’s a guide for finding and
enjoying the abundant life God sent Jesus to purchase for us. A life
given to us by grace—only grace.
Too often, greed and materialism can choke out the true spirit of
generosity found only in Christ. In this new, revised edition of
The Blessed Life--featuring fresh stories, illustrations, and
testimonials--Robert Morris, founding senior pastor of Gateway
Church, examines the true meaning of the blessed life. The enemy
wants to keep you from discovering God's principles governing
financial stewardship, giving, and blessing. Why? Because once you
do, it will change every area of your life from your marriage to
your health and finances. It will also impact the kingdom of God.
What if every needed church facility could be built? What if every
missionary could be sent and abundantly supplied? What if the
gospel could saturate every culture on the planet? When God changes
your heart from selfishness to generosity, every part of your life
journey is affected. With humor, passion, and clarity, Robert
presents this truth on the pages of The Blessed Life.
During the Gilded Age, Rittenhouse Square was home to
Philadelphiaas high society, with more millionaires per square foot
than any other American neighborhood except New Yorkas Fifth
Avenue. Established by William Penn in 1682 as the South-West
Square and renamed after astronomer David Rittenhouse in 1825,
Rittenhouse Square and its environs changed from an isolated
district of brickyards and workersa shanties into the cityas most
elegant and elite neighborhood between 1845 and 1865. The
brownstone and marble mansions on the square itself were inhabited
by the cityas wealthiest and most prestigious families, with names
like Biddle, Cassatt, Drexel, Stotesbury, and Van Rensselaer. As
Philadelphiaas upper classes fled to the suburbs in the early 20th
century, their mansions were replaced by skyscrapers or taken over
by cultural institutions like the Philadelphia Art Alliance and the
Curtis Institute of Music. While only a few original residences
remain on Rittenhouse Square, it is still the center of a lively
upscale neighborhood.
The many neighborhoods west of the Schuylkill River across from
William Penn's "Quaker City" were distinctly rural until 1860, when
horsecar lines first crossed the river. The area soon became home
to wealthy businessmen who built elegant mansions and villas in
University City and Powelton Village. West Philadelphia's growth
accelerated northward into Belmont and Parkside-Girard after the
1876 Centennial Exposition and westward into Cedar Park, Spruce
Hill, and Walnut Hill in the 1890s with the introduction of
electric trolley lines. West Philadelphia: University City to 52nd
Street is the first photographic history of the area in the last
one hundred years. Images of the typical, modest West Philadelphia
row houses, which slowly took over the open farmland after the
Market Street Elevated opened in 1907, tell the story of how
Philadelphia became known as the "City of Homes." Countless, rarely
seen photographs of the streets where people lived and worked fill
this extraordinary history.
Explore significantbut often-overlookedaspects of aging policy!
This unique addition to the literature on aging policy will help
you understand devolutionthe decentralizing of service provisionand
the roles that state/local government and private organizations now
play in addressing the needs of our aging population. It will show
you how to initiate innovations and make positive changes in aging
policy through state and local initiatives, collaborations between
the federal government and other government agencies,
public/private collaboration, and strictly private initiatives.
From the editors: Around the world, the ground rules are being
questioned about the role of national governments in addressing
domestic needs. During the twentieth century in countries
throughout the world, central governments assumed major
responsibilities for a wide variety of human needs. Whether the
concern was income security, health, housing, or education,
interventions were premised upon convictions that a strong public
sector role was essential and that major involvement of national
governments was needed. More recently, a significant pattern
[devolution] has emerged in many countries wherein these
responsibilities have shifted away from national governments to
regional and local governments as well as from the public to the
private sector. Thoughtfully divided into five sections that
illustrate distinctly different forms of devolution, this book
first provides an essential overview of devolution and then
examines its implications for vital aspects of service provision to
the elderly. In the United States in recent years, the single
greatest focus for devolution has been the transformation of income
security protections for poor families. The federal Aid to Families
With Dependent Children program has been replaced by the Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families program. Devolution and Aging Policy
examines that change and other important facets of the current
climate of devolution, including: Medicaid-financed long-term care
state sponsorship of services in retirement communities the
implications of the Workforce Investment Act for the access of
older workers to training at a state level to upgrade their work
skills public/private sector collaboration in long-term care
insurance long-term care ombudsman programs what state governments
can do to help elders make use of information technology property
tax credits for seniors that are given in exchange for volunteering
on the municipal level how an HMO can encourage and stimulate
service coordination and more!

By the end of the current decade, many baby boomers will be senior
citizens. What policies should we enact to prepare for an aging
society?In the coming decade, we have a unique opportunity to
create new and better aging policies. This collection of twenty
essays by prominent educators, researchers, and policy analysts in
the field of gerontology brings together innovative ideas from the
United States, Europe, and Japan. Instead of focusing on utopian

care arrangements around the world the importance of a strong
economy that provides opportunities for seniors who seek them and
support for those who need it the need for flexible retirement and
employment policies for older adults the connections between family
policy and aging policy the importance of improving training and
compensation for workers in long-term care the special needs of our
diverse and rapidly growing population of older people the

Thirty years ago, when compared to the U.S., England, France, and
Sweden, Japan had the lowest life expectancy for males and females.
Today, Japan has the highest life expectancy and is the world's
most rapidly aging society. Public Policy and the Old Age
Revolution in Japan captures the vitality of Japanese policymakers
and the challenges they face in shaping a modern society responding
to its changing needs. The rapid transition to an aging society
poses a set of complex policy and resource dilemmas; the responses
taken in Japan are of great value to policymakers, professionals,
and students in the fields of gerontology, Asian and Japanese
studies, sociology, public policy, administration and management,
and anthropology in other industrial aging societies. Readers of
Public Policy and the Old Age Revolution in Japan will discover the
array of social and economic implications that comes with an
increasingly aged society. Such a change in demographics affects
pension expenditures and pension contributions, capital formation
and savings rates, health costs, service systems, tax bases, labor
pools, career counseling, training, advertising, and marketing.
This book does not stop with these topics, however. Readers also
learn about: how older Japanese workers are staying employed and
employable policies in Japan for a smooth transition from work to
retirement Japan's Silver Human Resource Centers the new direction
of health services in Japan the Japanese financing system for
elderly health care the expansion of formalized in-home services
for Japan's aged Japanese housing policy and the concept of
universal design the Gold Plan, a comprehensive ten-year plan to
promote health care and welfare for the aged the concept of
ikigai--promoting feelings of purpose and self-worth in the
agedPublic Policy and the Old Age Revolution in Japan is one of
only a handful of books prepared in English by American and
Japanese authors for an international audience about aging and
social policy in Japan. The book's recent collection of articles by
leading scholars on the subject makes it a unique and timely source
of information. Above all, Public Policy and the Old Age Revolution
in Japan makes it clear that the rest of the world has many
valuable lessons to learn by studying Japan's approach to its
rapidly aging society.

Hearing God is not something you do. Hearing God is someone you
are. As believers in Jesus Christ, we naturally want to know how we
can hear God's voice. Does God speak? Is He speaking to me? The
good news is, yes, He is speaking. And like a radio host
broadcasting His voice into the airwaves, God speaks all the time.
The question is, are we tuned into the right frequency? In
Frequency, Robert Morris reveals a groundbreaking, Bible-based
teaching about hearing God's voice. God communicates with us in
multiple ways, whether through the Bible, through circumstances, or
even through a whisper. Robert Morris demonstrates how we can
mature from hearing His voice as sheep to hearing it as His friend
to even hearing it as a prophet. When we begin to understand the
general and specific ways God speaks to us, then we can begin to
cultivate a life of deeper connection with our Creator. In
Frequency, readers will...* Gain a better understanding of how to
recognize God's voice * Value the voice of the Lord * Discern the
general voice of God from the specific voice of God * Grow in their
relationship with the Lord by developing consistent time with His
Word * Enjoy drawing closer to their Creator Frequency will
demystify the process of hearing God and take you to a new level in
your faith. God is speaking. Are you listening?

New Look for Landmark Teaching on Living the Spirit-Empowered Life
In our instant-gratification culture, we consume a fleeting,
shallow diet of media, relationships, entertainment, and
spirituality. Our souls go hungry, longing for a fuller, more
satisfying life. Bestselling author and beloved pastor Jack Hayford
shows, in what has become a modern-day classic, how we can feed our
deepest places with the sustaining Bread of Life. With warmth and
wisdom, he reveals how we can link our souls to timeless practices
and principles set forth in Scripture. He invites you to rediscover
the power and blessing of these spiritual disciplines--of true
Spirit-fullness. Even more, he shows how these spiritual
disciplines are relevant for today and how we can practice them in
our quick-paced, surface-level culture. When we take time to fast
and pray, worship daily, feed on God's Word, and more, we fully
enter the rich adventure of becoming an effective disciple of
Christ--ensuring that our souls will never go hungry.

Do Your Dreams Seem Out of Reach? If you have a dream, then you
have a destiny. In his inspiring new book, From Dream to Destiny,
Robert Morris prompts you to ask yourself, How do I travel from the
dream to the destiny--and what happens on the way? Each of us is
given a dream by God--it's the notion that sets our hearts racing
by the mere thought of it. Unfortunately, most people never see
their dream come to pass, so they never fulfill the destiny that
God has in store for them. Robert Morris tells readers exactly how
to make their dream into the reality for which they long. Using the
example of Joseph in the Old Testament, Pastor Robert shows how God
gave Joseph a dream and then promptly took him through 10
character-building tests that lasted 13 years. These tests assessed
Joseph's strengths and weaknesses--from pride to purity--and they
are the same tests that each of us must pass before God lets us
realize our dream. Find out what the tests are and if you are
passing or failing them, and get ready to begin fulfilling the
destiny that God has in store for you.
