Pastor, it’s time to turn down the noise and focus on what matters. Today’s pastoral world is packed with books, conferences, and seminars teaching you different techniques for being an all-star pastor, growing your church quickly, and changing the world. But the key to true success is much harder and much simpler. Pastors are called to be faithful, to have exemplary character, and to love Jesus. Without faithfulness, their ministry ends up harming others rather than helping them. Churches need pastors with sound doctrine and a sound life. Character Matters was written to help you slow down, cut through the noise and distractions, and focus on what matters—the fruit of the Spirit. Each chapter is a guided, biblical meditation on one aspect of each piece of the fruit of the Spirit. As you reflect and focus on the simple things that matter, you’ll see your heart change and your ministry follow, slowly, surely, and by the power of the Spirit.
Bible figures of speech have been around since Adam. Who hasnt heard of the most famous tree, The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? And in a moment of defiance and rebellion, Cain asked God, Am I my brothers keeper? These two literary terms can be called figures of speech. They are examples of phrases that bring forth a particular meaning to he who hears them, and they become personal to each of us. What do these two figures of speech have in common? They were both written down or attributed to the same author, Moses. They both happened somewhere at a specific place, which was an event at a certain moment of time. They represent the divine nature of God and Gods relationship with man, or in literary terms, a character. While we dont always know the exact location or date, as with the early biblical writings, we do have a unifying anchor which is the Bible figure of speech. Considering the first Bible figure of speech, we have yet another image: In the beginning. Here we see God acting alone in creation at the beginning of time. It too provides us with a simple truth both unforgettable and personal. It speaks to our mind and our heart and soul as personal knowledge, which is outside of ration and have heaven and earth to bear witness. This is a Bible figure of speech.
In this book Aaron Hillyer considers the implications of Maurice Blanchot's strange formulation: "Literature is heading to its essence, which is its disappearance." This quest leads Hillyer to stage a dialogue between the works of Blanchot and Giorgio Agamben. Despite being primary points of reference for literary theory, no significant critical work has examined their "literary" writings together. The Disappearance of Literature initiates this new trajectory through readings of Blanchot's The Unavowable Community and Agamben's The Open, two short books that harbor their most enigmatic writings. A series of related concepts-study, community, mysticism, and friendship-emerges from this pairing, and, Hillyer argues, forms the basis of a new vein of contemporary literature found in the novels and hybrid fictions of Enrique Vila-Matas, Anne Carson, and Cesar Aira.
Shortly after joining a new company, Aaron began writing weekly emails to his team. On Monday, July 21, 2014, he sent his first “Monday MO.” It was short: Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. Set excellence as your standard. Aaron received tremendous feedback that these weekly Monday MOs (or Monday Motivations) were valuable. People craved someone who cared about them personally, acknowledged them, and respected them. They wanted to authentically be encouraged to learn, grow, improve and be supported. People desperately longed for a jolt of positivity and motivation each week. Time progressed, and the influence of the Monday MO grew. Colleagues outside of Aaron’s organization wanted to be included in his distribution. He was also asked to include spouses, parents, children, and friends. MOs were forwarded to others outside of the company, who then asked to be included. The audience soon became quite large and diverse. The Monday MOs were based on topics relevant to the times—something Aaron may have recently read or on a subject matter someone wanted him to write about. He selected the ones that have stood out the most and has organized them by theme. The final product is the book before you. Unlike many books that are meant to be read from start to finish, this book may be read in any order. Pick a topic and read as many as you find beneficial. Some may resonate more than others, but the hope is that you find many that interest and inspire you. This book is for you if you are a curious person who wishes to stretch your mind and get exposure to new perspectives. Now go read a MO!
In 2011, having found success in his real estate business, Aaron felt stagnant and bored in his business and life. Then one night during a month long struggle with a painful sore throat he had an epiphany. He found that by using each painful swallow as a reminder to express gratitude he was able to transcend emotional lethargy into a euphoric state of joy. A shift occurred that night in his mind which infused him with a deep enthusiasm and passion for life. Aaron discovered how to live a truly amazing life regardless of all circumstances and from then on stopped having bad days altogether. Instead, he woke up thrilled to be alive every day. This led him to create the company Truly Amazing Life, Inc. with the purpose of teaching people that This Is A Truly Amazing Life and There Is No Bad Day. Aaron's passion for living gave him the desire to help others learn to live a Truly Amazing Life also, despite any and all circumstances they find themselves in. Then on July 29, 2012, triggered by the stress of his fourth child's birth the day prior, Aaron's body was overtaken and progressively ravaged by the chronic bowel disease Ulcerative Colitis. As he experienced massive amounts of pain and suffering, every belief he had begun teaching was thrown into a furnace to be destroyed or refined. Through months of painful despair and questioning everything, Aaron's beliefs were put through the ultimate test. He lost 50 pounds in 3 months of deterioration and weighed only 128 lbs. at 6'2" tall, barely able to stand, and quickly starving to death. Will Aaron's convictions withstand this ultimate test? Can he truthfully say There Is No Bad Day?

Through epistolary essays and poems, American Book Award- and Colorado Book Award-winning author and poet Aaron A. Abeyta captures the soul of the cultural and geographical crossroads of the driest quadrant in the nation, the Colorado headwaters, source to all the rivers in the southwestern and mid-western United States. Originating from and expanding on the themes of twenty-five years of “Headwaters” conferences at Western State Colorado University, these essays and poems embrace the region’s past while also exploring the struggles of a present that seeks a sustainable future for the borderlands that define the very cross-cultural essence of the American experience.

Can people ever really change? Do they ever become more ethical, and if so, how? Overcoming Our Evil focuses on the way ethical and religious commitments are conceived and nurtured through the methodical practices that Pierre Hadot has called "spiritual exercises." These practices engage thought, imagination, and sensibility, and have a significant ethical component, yet aim for a broader transformation of the whole personality. Going beyond recent philosophical and historical work that has focused on ancient Greco-Roman philosophy, Stalnaker broadens ethical inquiry into spiritual exercises by examining East Asian as well as classical Christian sources, and taking religious and seemingly "aesthetic" practices such as prayer, ritual, and music more seriously as objects of study. More specifically, Overcoming Our Evil examines and compares the thought and practice of the early Christian Augustine of Hippo, and the early Confucian Xunzi. Both have sophisticated and insightful accounts of spiritual exercises, and both make such ethical work central to their religious thought and practice. Yet to understand the two thinkers' recommendations for cultivating virtue we must first understand some important differences. Here Stalnaker disentangles the competing aspects of Augustine and Xunxi's ideas of "human nature." His groundbreaking comparison of their ethical vocabularies also drives a substantive analysis of fundamental issues in moral psychology, especially regarding emotion and the complex idea of "the will," to examine how our dispositions to feel, think, and act might be slowly transformed over time. The comparison meticulously constructs vivid portraits of both thinkers demonstrating where they connect and where they diverge, making the case that both have been misunderstood and misinterpreted. In throwing light on these seemingly disparate ancient figures in unexpected ways, Stalnaker redirects recent debate regarding practices of personal formation, and more clearly exposes the intellectual and political issues involved in the retrieval of "classic" ethical sources in diverse contemporary societies, illuminating a path toward a contemporary understanding of difference.
Christians from a low-church background do not have to be afraid of liturgy and sacraments. On the contrary, these ancient ways of engaging with Scripture and faith, help us see the beauty and taste the grace of heaven through the incarnation of Jesus. Earth Filled with Heaven is an evangelical introduction to the theological framework and habits of the sacramental life. Author and Anglican priest Aaron Damiani translates this sometimes strange-to-us way of Christ-centered faith in an invitational and pastoral manner. He orients readers around a weekly celebration of the Lord’s supper, water baptism, liturgical prayer, the church calendar, the daily office—rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus. As there are no recent lay introductions for protestant Christians who desire to deepen their roots in the ancient practices of the church, Earth Filled with Heaven speaks to a growing group of faithful Christians discovering these historic church practices for the first time.

An informal yet rigorous exploration of human emotions in all their complexity and subtlety. Why do we cry at the movies? What is the best way to manage destructive feelings such as jealousy? Although emotions pervade our lives, their nature, causes, and effects have only recently been studied by social scientists and philosophers. Despite growing scientific interest in the subject, empirical findings have not yet caught up with our intuitive knowledge. In this book Aaron Ben-Ze'ev carries out what he calls "a careful search for general patterns in the primeval jungle of emotions." In an engaging, informal style he draws on a variety of theoretical approaches and popular sources to produce a coherent account of emotions in all their subtlety. All of the ideas are illustrated with examples drawn from everyday life. The book is organized into two parts. The first presents an overall conceptual framework for understanding emotions. It looks at the typical characteristics and components of emotions, distinguishes emotions from other affective phenomena, classifies the emotions, and covers such related issues as emotional intelligence, regulating emotions, and emotions and morality. The second part discusses individual emotions, including envy, jealousy, pleasure-in-others'-misfortune, pity, compassion, anger, hate, disgust, love, sexual desire, happiness, sadness, pride, regret, and shame. The text is laced with insightful and often amusing quotations from sources ranging from Mae West to Montesquieu.
The purpose of this book is to empower individuals with Biblical knowledge through relevant teachings to enable them to overcome the negative feelings of anger, fear, discontentment, frustration, guilt, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and grief in order to maintain a close relationship with GOD, experience true peace and true joy, accomplish their goals and dreams, and to experience the abundant life that our Heavenly Father has given to us as His children.
Back Cover We all have two roads upon which we can choose. The first road is to allow our limiting beliefs such as fear, anger, and doubt to shackle us and hinder our ability to achieve our true desires in life. Athlete Unleashed helps you navigate the second road, which allows you to break free from those shackles, find your passion, and gives you the steps to unleash your best inner athlete! Back when I was a high school baseball player, guidance and strength training for high school sports was not too advanced.

They deserve a program that allows them the chance to compete at the highest level they desire, while achieving peak health and fitness. Whether you are attempting to make the team, or you are ready to achieve your next level of athletics, this is the book for you. Athlete Unleashed helps guide you to find your passion while guiding you in addressing the key components to become more successful. These components include developing the proper mindset, balancing your work effort with the appropriate recovery, specific nourishment for your needs, the right movement for your success, the steps for injury prevention, recovery from injury, and the planning for your season—as well as your future!
At a hundred years old, Holocaust survivor Wolf Gruca turned to his grandson, Rabbi Aaron Starr, and asked, “Where was God?” Don’t Forget to Call Home is a grandson’s attempt to respond to a weeping grandfather, and it’s a clergyman’s effort to help the modern person deepen a relationship with the Divine. With warmth and wisdom, Rabbi Starr sets out to answer the question, “Where is God, and what does God want of us?” Perhaps God is no longer the Law Giver or Judge, the Warrior or even the Miracle Maker. Perhaps God is an Empty-Nester Parent, expecting us to live with gratitude, obligation, joy, and hope. Perhaps, like a loving parent whose children are now grown-up, God desires us to act like adults by emulating our Heavenly Parent. Perhaps, too, God and Grandpa are reminding us: “Don’t forget to call home.”

From an esteemed author known for battling gender norms and bringing down "man up" culture, comes this essential guide for men and those who love them. Miscarriage, infertility, and abortion are generally considered women’s issues—and while they are far from uncommon in our society, open conversations surrounding those topics are exceedingly rare. They're seen as taboo, even distasteful. And that’s just for women. When it comes to men and how they are impacted by these issues, it’s almost complete radio silence. It’s not that men don’t think about these things or aren’t affected—after all, they make up half of most couples experiencing these issues—it’s that toxic masculinity and gender stereotypes in our society tell men that suffering in silence equals strength and expressing emotions is weakness. It’s men not knowing how to feel, how to express those feelings, or if they’re even allowed to feel this trauma beyond supporting their partner. In Men and Miscarriage, husband and wife Aaron and MJ Gouveia ask men (and others) these questions directly. Using their own personal experiences enduring four miscarriages and a medically-necessary abortion combined with interviews of people from all different backgrounds and walks of life, the couple sheds light on how these topics influence men, women, their relationships, their mental health, and examines the shame and stigma too often associated with pregnancies that don't go as planned.
Discovering a New Beginning: A Journey in Remarriage brings hope and direction to the divorced and remarried and clears the misconceptions about those who have gone through it—people who often feel like they are under a curse. It reveals biblical truths behind the subjects of divorce and remarriage by clarifying what God says about it. It answers a number of questions: Can a divorced person get remarried? Do they lose their salvation from it? And can they still serve God in ministry afterward? Discovering a New Beginning also corrects false teaching in the church that has left those divorced and remarried feeling condemned by church tradition. This is done by navigating through the Word of God and applying God’s principles to overcome traditions and obstacles specific to remarriage after divorce. It also brings encouragement and practical guidance to the new marriage. As a pastor who has gone through the pain of divorce and the joy of remarriage, author Aaron L. Gravett writes from personal experience and reveals the heart of God to those who go through it. Experiencing this led him to search deep into the Word of God for answers. Discovering a New Beginning is filled with encouragement, scriptural truth, and practical application that will bring healing and hope to those on the same journey. When one reads and applies the principles of this book, it will make the new marriage a blessing from God.
Vladimir Jankélévitch: The Time of Forgiveness traces the reflections of the French philosopher and musicologist Vladimir Jankelevitch on the conditions and temporality of forgiveness in relation to creation, history, and memory. The author demonstrates the influence of Jewish and Christian thought on Jankelevitch’s philosophy and compares his ideas about the gift character of forgiveness, the role of retributive emotions in conceptions of justice, and the limits of reason with those of Aristotle, Butler, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Scheler, Arendt, Derrida, Levinas, and Ricoeur. The Shoah was the pivotal historical event in Jankelevitch’s life. As this book shows, Jankelevitch’s question “Is forgiveness possible as a response to evil?” remains a potent philosophical conundrum today. Paradoxically, for Jankelevitch, evil is both the impetus and the obstacle to forgiveness.
