Look at It This Way

Straightforward Wisdom to Put Life in Perspective

By: Jan Silvious

Each person has his or her own particular way of looking at life: a kind of grid that helps readers process whatever comes their way. Though this grid can be a helpful tool, far too often it is a weight around the neck. So what can be done about it? How can readers change their perspectives–replacing the grid that drags them down with one that equips them to face life’s challenges and live victoriously? In Look at It This Way, author and speaker Jan Silvious explores, in-depth, vital truths that can help Christians reframe the way they think: breaking them out of their self-pity, anger, depression, anxiety and hopelessness, and equipping them to deal with the events, circumstances and people in their lives in a healthy and positive way. Jan highlights such key truths as “Whatever happens, it’s one event in a lifetime of events,” “For every choice there is a consequence,” “God isn’t angry with you,” “The last chapter has not been written,” and eight others. Deeply rooted in Scripture, these valuable insights will give readers hope and real help for managing their thinking, showing how they can, at last, move forward with the courageous and grace-filled life God intended them to live.

Big Girls Don't Whine

Getting On With the Great Life God Intends

By: Jan Silvious

No one wants to be labeled a whiner, but many of us go through life with a "poor me," victim mentality that sounds a whole lot like whining. God never intended for us to act like "little girls," says Jan Silvious. His goal is for each of us to live as "big girls"-mature Christian women-who are capable of enjoying the richness of life He has planned. In Big Girls Don't Whine, Jan helps women: Move beyond the past and on to healthy relationships, Choose to be proactive rather than let life just "happen," Discover their full potential, And become everything He made them to be. So how can we tell if we're living life as an immature 'little girl" or a confident "big girl?" A little girl... Is insecure Becomes the victim of circumstances Says "I can't" Manipulates A big girl... Is secure Rests in God's sovereignty Says, "I can" Communicates In Big Girls Don't Whine, Jan Silvious calls us to be real women in a real world, free to experience a life of full of potential and vision. This book is the how-to manual for making it happen.

How Molecular Forces and Rotating Planets Create Life

The Emergence and Evolution of Prokaryotic Cells

By: Jan Spitzer

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

How Molecular Forces and Rotating Planets Create Life

The Emergence and Evolution of Prokaryotic Cells

By: Jan Spitzer

A reconceptualization of origins research that exploits a modern understanding of non-covalent molecular forces that stabilize living prokaryotic cells. Scientific research into the origins of life remains exploratory and speculative. Science has no definitive answer to the biggest questions--"What is life?" and "How did life begin on earth?" In this book, Jan Spitzer reconceptualizes origins research by exploiting a modern understanding of non-covalent molecular forces and covalent bond formation--a physicochemical approach propounded originally by Linus Pauling and Max Delbrück. Spitzer develops the Pauling-Delbrück premise as a physicochemical jigsaw puzzle that identifies key stages in life's emergence, from the formation of first oceans, tidal sediments, and proto-biofilms to progenotes, proto-cells and the first cellular organisms.
