Spiritual Keys to Unlocking Job...

David Giffin

David Giffin is a retired international senior human resources/operations executive and consultant with experience in a broad range of businesses. During his career, he lost his job twice. The first time, he lost his position as vice president of human resources in 1991 and experienced the typical emotions associated with the loss of a job: grief, anger, worry, fear, impatience, loneliness. Reflecting later, he believes those emotions revealed the shallowness of his relationship with God, driving him to grow his faith significantly in the coming years.
Ten years later in 2001, he lost his job a second time. This time, however, he didn't try to go through the search process alone; he did it with God. The contrast was dramatic, and as a result, he felt called by God to share the sense of peace he experienced the second time around by ministering to others who have lost their jobs. Spiritual Keys to Unlocking Your Job Search Success is a result of that calling.
The book contrasts two job loss journeys experienced by the author. The first search was difficult. But the second search, with God, was rewarding and peaceful. The book, utilizing scripture of God's promise to walk alongside the job seeker, describes a journey with God dealing with emotions of a job loss, how to implement a Two-Pronged Job Search Strategy, and Faith Strategy to guide the reader through their journey.
David and Nancy live in Chesterfield, Missouri, with their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren who live nearby. David is an elder at Bonhomme Presbyterian Church, has been a youth sports coach, mentor, adult Sunday school leader, and served in the U.S. Army Security Agency. He currently serves on the board of a Christian-based senior living community.

Transient and Strange - Notes on...

Nell Greenfieldboyce

In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. 
 
 
 
Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. 
 
 
 
A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us. 
 
 
 
Two bonus stories, "Santa" and "Paperclips," are featured at the end of the audiobook.
