People Helping People - 75 Years of the Texas Credit Union League

Edward M. Walters

Summary

An in-depth look at the history of the financial institution, from its 1934 establishment to the 2008 US financial crisis. 
 
The first seventy-five years for the Texas Credit Union League have been extraordinary! From its modest inception to its solid stature enjoyed today, the membership’s collective voice has guided us and served as a steadying arm. For three-quarters of a century, we’ve reached out to support one another in our drive toward improving the financial health of credit union members. This book illuminates the individuals who championed the credit union movement in Texas and who worked tirelessly to safeguard our cooperative nature and to enhance our ability to meet member needs. 
 
The League story is one of vision, faith, and the firm belief that each of us is enriched because of the sum of our cooperative experiences. Because we continue to support one another, our association lives its mission of protecting credit unions and promoting their growth, strength, and unity.

Burnout to Breakthrough -...

Eileen McDargh

“Eileen delivers a new perspective on the burnout crisis with humor, good sense, and unique ideas on how to manage our brains. I owe my daily well-being to her. Keep this book at your side to help you glide through your workday.” —Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, author of The Discomfort Zone

It's official. For the first time, the World Health Organization has classified burnout as a health problem. Renowned motivational speaker Eileen McDargh proposes that to tackle it, we must learn to break out of energy-draining thoughts and behaviors.

Resilience, she argues, is strictly a matter of energy management--by better managing your energy, you can both build resiliency and overcome burnout. Breakthrough happens when our energy is consciously distributed to what matters most in our lives. So after a short survey that will tell you where you fit in a burnout and resiliency profile, McDargh helps pinpoint the causes of your burnout and examine the energy demands that keep you from refueling and recharging. She provides an in-depth energy analysis and gives you the keys to master the four dimensions that can give you a resilience breakthrough: head, heart, hands, and humor.

McDargh guides the reader through the process of identifying energy drains and implementing strategies for handling them, whatever phase of life you are in. Her intention is to help you not only to successfully manage work and life demands but also make even larger strides in understanding how to put together a life by design and not by default.

A New Lease of Life? - Anglican...

Tony Neal, Leslie Francis

The Church of England now supports more retired clergy than there are clergy engaged in active stipendiary ministry. Evidence suggests that in some areas it is retired clergy who are keeping ministry afloat (especially in some rural dioceses), while others feel their experience and expertise is no longer valued by a changing Church.

 
In this stimulating (and at times disturbing) book, the editors have published for the first time the findings of a survey conducted among 784 religiously-engaged retired clergy. Then, against this background, they have drawn together the voices of fourteen retired clergy from across the breadth of the Church of England.

 
Here are unique windows into who religiously-engaged retired clergy really are, how much they engage in the life of the Church, what they believe, and how they feel about the churches and congregations to which they continue to relate.
