I Witness - A Story of Personal Redemption

Joseph A. McGee

Casa editrice: Proisle Publishing Services

Sinossi

I was a lone sinner, dying of cancer, and carrying the burden of guilt when Christ came to me. It was by His grace, and His grace alone, that He showed me mercy, and because I believed, He saved me.
 
Really, I am a very ordinary person, but God did an extraordinary thing for my salvation. This was my problem: I wanted to be a "better Christian." I wanted unshakable faith, like Daniel in the lion's den. However, I wasn't really able to do it. I tried to do it with my mind. I tried to do it by "works." I tried to do it with my will.
 
I was tripped up by my own efforts. I sat in the same church pew for nearly twenty years, said the same words every Sunday, and tried as hard as I could to believe them all. I gave to the offering, to charities, to capital campaigns, went to "work Saturdays," attended finance committee meetings, helped after church services to count the collections.
 
Then, I was diagnosed with cancer, stage four. To be completely honest, I was scared inside. "No! Not now! I'm not ready!" But I was ripe for testing. God doesn't wait until we feel ready. He sees all, we do not. God uses all things, even calamities and floods and wars for ultimate good. Everything in my life, my childhood, my sins, wrong turns, even cancer, has led me to be exactly the person I am now: a witness to the Risen Christ.

Transactional Analysis in...

Eric Berne

"Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy" by Eric Berne is a seminal text that delves into the intricacies of human interaction and communication through the lens of transactional analysis (TA). Published in 1961, this book presents TA not just as a theory but as a practical method of therapy, offering insights into the dynamics of human behavior. Berne introduces concepts such as ego states, which categorize communication and behavior into parent-like, child-like, or adult-like forms, and "strokes," which are units of interpersonal recognition. He explores the structuring of time and the concept of life scripts—unconscious life plans adopted under parental influence. Berne's work is foundational in the field of psychotherapy, providing tools for understanding the complexities of human relationships and the mechanisms of communication, making it an essential read for professionals in psychology and psychotherapy, as well as anyone interested in the deeper understanding of social interactions.

The Crowd - A Study of the...

Gustave Le Bon

"The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," written by Gustave Le Bon and first published in 1895, is a seminal work in the field of social psychology and the study of mass behavior. Le Bon explores the psychological underpinnings of crowd behavior, arguing that individuals, when part of a crowd, often lose their sense of personal responsibility and individuality. This transformation leads to collective behavior that is fundamentally different from the behavior of the individuals that constitute the crowd.Le Bon identifies several key characteristics of crowds: they are highly suggestible, prone to emotional contagion, and can be easily manipulated by leaders or prevailing ideas. He suggests that crowds operate on a more primitive and instinctual level, where rational thought is often overridden by emotion and a herd mentality. This, he argues, results in behaviors that are often irrational, impulsive, and sometimes violent.The book discusses various types of crowds, including anonymous crowds, organized crowds, and even criminal crowds, examining how their dynamics and psychological profiles differ. Le Bon's work also delves into the historical and social implications of crowd behavior, analyzing how mass movements have shaped political and social landscapes. He uses historical examples to illustrate his points, making connections between his theoretical insights and real-world events."The Crowd" has had a lasting impact on various fields, including sociology, psychology, political science, and even marketing and propaganda. Le Bon's ideas about the power of leaders to influence and control crowds have been both influential and controversial, sparking debates about the nature of mass behavior and the role of individual agency within it. Despite being over a century old, the book's insights remain relevant, offering a profound understanding of the dynamics of group behavior and the psychological mechanisms that drive collective actions.
