It has been said that when we are born, we look like our parents, but when we die, we look like our choices. After everything predictable has gone up in smoke, the reality has quickly set in that the stakes and penalties for misplaced energy and choices have never been higher. Drawing on his wisdom midway through life, the author reaches down deep to help others look to God to help them correct their path to move toward a Christ-centered legacy business. He considers questions like:How can you become more purposeful as a leader, father, husband, son, brother, and friend? What can you do to find more purpose and fulfillment in life? How can you let the Lord into your heart to do your work? The author emphasizes that while a misstep could cost you your marriage and family, it will almost invariably rob you of your ability to pass on a Godly legacy for those you leave behind. He also notes that we all eventually come to realize we are in the legacy business. But it’s up to you to decide whether to be intentional about the way you live.Mostra libro
Have you found your place in God's story? God's story is a divine tapestry, intricately woven with intention from the beginning. Every thread connects the past, present, and future, revealing a Creator who intimately leans into your brokenness and chaos to bring redemption. From the first moments of creation, when God's Spirit hovered over the waters, a plan full of shalom—wholeness and harmony—was set into motion. Humanity once walked in communion with God, but when we deviated from His design, sin began to unravel the beauty. Yet God's love and plan never wavered. Through the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic Covenants, we see God's faithfulness and His desire to restore creation. These promises build toward fulfillment in Jesus Christ and invite us to weave our lives into God's larger narrative. This six-week Bible study by author and pastor Tara Beth Leach explores these sacred threads, helping you see God's redemptive hand in your life. No matter where you are in the story, there's a place for you in His plans for restoration and renewal. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

This is a Pariyatti audiobook of four essays from the book Facing the Future: Four Essays on the Social Relevance of Buddhism by Bhikkhu Bodhi, narrated by Shelina Hetherington. A Buddhist Social Ethic for the New Century A Buddhist Approach to Economic and Social Development The Changing Face of Buddhism Sangha at the Crossroads Excerpt:If we use the Buddha’s teachings as a lens to examine the corporate economic system and its offshoot, the consumerist culture, we will see that it is ultimately detrimental to the well-being of both its masters and servants alike. Drawing upon the tools of Buddhist analysis, let us briefly sketch the inner dynamics of this system. We see in the first instance that such a social order is founded upon ignorance or delusion (avijjā, moha), namely, the supposition that material wealth and consumption are the criteria of the good life. According to the Buddhist texts, when ignorance infiltrates our cognitive systems it issues in a series of “distortions” (vipallāsa) which infect our perception (saññā), thinking (citta), and views (diṭṭhi). The Buddha mentions four such distortions: the notions that the impermanent is permanent, that the painful (or suffering) is pleasant, that the insubstantial is a self, and that the unbeautiful is beautiful. At the most basic level we perceive things by way of these distortions; when these distorted perceptions are taken up for reflection, we start thinking in terms of them; and finally, under the combined influence of distorted perception and thought, we adopt views—that is, beliefs, doctrines, and ideologies—that affirm the mistaken notions of permanence, pleasure, selfhood, and beauty.Mostra libro
2023 Christian Book Award® Winner (Christian Living) Christianity Today 2023 Book Award Finalist (Christian Living & Spiritual Formation) The Spiritual Significance of Time Many Christians live a faith that is "nowhen." They are disconnected from the past or imagine they are somehow "above" the flux of history, as if every generation starts with a clean state. They lack an awareness of time and the effects of history--both personal and collective--and thus are naive about current issues, prone to nostalgia, or fixated on the end times and other doomsday versions of the future. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith explains that we must reckon with the past in order to discern the present and have hope for the future. Integrating popular culture, biblical exposition, and meditation, he helps us develop a sense of "temporal awareness" that is attuned to the texture of history, the vicissitudes of life, and the tempo of the Spirit. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century. It allows us to become indebted to the past, oriented toward the future, and faithful in the present. ★ "This incisive and eloquent volume will expand readers' minds."--Publishers Weekly starred review "A beautifully written book. . . . [Smith] offers a good, pastoral word to Christians today."--Christian CenturyMostra libro
