Synopsis

Love Our Cities operates from a simple idea: come alongside those who want to make a difference in their cities so they can come alongside individuals in their communities to make things better.  Founding members of the nonprofit organization Love Our Cities, Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung have seen how a city-wide volunteer day can catalyze community improvement—by engaging individuals with the city they inhabit. Each chapter of Love Our Cities addresses their method behind the madness, why it works, and the practical next steps that anyone can use to kick off city-wide volunteer efforts.  Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung understand that the best way to support a community is to meet the specific needs of that area. By using their past experiences investing in Modesto and other cities, they provide a clear, actionable approach to enact city-wide change. Their volunteer days have been uniquely successful in connecting ongoing initiatives, building networks, and growing community buy-in for programs and organizations already on the ground.  Their message in Love Our Cities is broken into four parts:  Part One depicts their journey from the initial Love Modesto efforts in 2009 to the 100-some cities participating in their Love Our Cities network in 2020  Part Two explains at the elements that are necessary to know prior to any community engagement, in order to create a solid foundation for long-term success  Part Three examines the "nuts and bolts" of running a city-wide volunteer day  Part Four takes it to the next level—describing how successful city-wide volunteer days have changed the game and outlining what a year-round city movement might look like  By shining a spotlight on the cities they've partnered with over the years, Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung hope that their community-minded approach in Love Our Cities encourages readers to dream about their own city's potential—and how they can make a difference.

    This is the account of Jesus’ first disciples, and he chose them after he was baptized by John the Baptist.  
    You can find these biblical accounts in your bible from the following scriptures listed here: Matthew 8:23–27; Mark 1:17–20; Mark 4:36–41; Luke 5:4–11; and Luke 6:12–16 
                                                 
              The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and he said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world! This is the person, I said after I will come a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made visible to Israel, therefore, am I come baptizing with water to repentance.” 
     And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it sat on him.” 
                “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, ‘On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire.’ And I saw, and witnessed that this is the Son of God.” 
     The next day John stood up with two of his disciples; And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world!”

    "What Rama says once he carries out; there is no looking back.” Rama to Kaikeyi “Only the timid and the weak leave things to destiny but the strong never bank on destiny or luck.” Lakshmana to RamaThe epic poem, by Maharishi Valmiki Muni, narrates the life of Lord Rama, a legendary prince of Ayodhya city in the kingdom of Kosala. The epic follows his fourteen-year exile to the forest urged by his father King Dasharatha, on the request of Rama's stepmother Kaikeyi. He traveled across forests in the Indian subcontinent with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. Rama endured the kidnapping of Sita by Ravana – the demon king of Lanka, which resulted in a great war; and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king amidst jubilation and celebration. The Ramayana is one of the ancient epics in world literature consisting of nearly 24,000 verses. It is considered to be the Adi-kavya (first poem) depicting the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, ideal servant, ideal brother, ideal husband and ideal king. The Ramayana was an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Vedic life and culture. There are many versions of Ramayana in Indian languages, besides Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain adaptations. There are also Cambodian (Reamker), Indonesian, Filipino, Thai (Ramakien), Lao, Burmese and Malay versions of the iconic tale.

    Respected Christian Psychologist Helps Listeners Find Relief from Emotional PainLinda J. Solie, a psychologist who has been in private practice for more than twenty years, says everyone can benefit from taking charge of their emotional health. She gives listeners the skills to take control of their thoughts and behaviors by first identifying the problem thinking that creates painful feelings and undesirable conduct. Then using a seven-step process, she helps them change their feelings and behavior. Throughout the book the seven steps are applied to a variety of situations, both short term—such as a distressing mood—and longer term, including significant longstanding emotional pain. Grounded in faith, the listener's relationship with Jesus is always central to the process.As William Backus pioneered a generation ago with Telling Yourself the Truth (more than 700,000 sold), Solie will reach thousands of listeners who don't have easy access to mental health providers or can't afford them. Pastors and lay counselors will also find this an excellent resource to use and recommend.

    We live in a culture that worships the comeback but ignores the consistent. Where the woman who spiraled, sinned, and "found herself" gets a microphone, and the woman who never lost herself is treated like a footnote. Where's Her Medal? is a raw, unfiltered cultural wake-up call for anyone who's ever wondered why society celebrates redemption—but mocks restraint. 
    Through dead-serious analysis, dark humor, and disturbingly true social critique, this book exposes how virtue lost its value in a world addicted to visibility, applause, and rebrands. From purity culture to public confessions, feminism's war on modesty to the rise of algorithm-fueled exhibitionism, this book doesn't just challenge the modern narrative—it flips the table. 
    This is not a soft Christian devotional. This is a cultural weapon. 
    If you've ever been the good girl who played by the rules and got ignored, the steady one overshadowed by chaos, or the parent watching virtue be erased by social engineering—this is your manifesto. 
    It's time to stop praising brokenness like it's a badge of honor. 
    It's time to honor the woman who never fell. 
    It's time to ask: Where's her medal?
