Jesus admonishes us, encourages us, and commands us to share the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20). Jesus communicated with his disciples using real-world situations to convey His teachings, such as a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a son who went astray. Likewise, these essays and short compositions provide examples from life experiences, such as befriending refugees and restoring vintage automobiles. Those activities can be used as a basis for forming friendships that can lead to opportunities for evangelism. The discussants are encouraged to give examples from their own life experiences that may be used for evangelism. The essays are especially appropriate for small group discussions, adult Bible classes, and retreats.

This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of cultural models of emotions, with particular focus on how cultural parameters of societies affect the emotional life of people in different cultural contexts.

The purpose of this book is to introduce researchers and practitioners to recent advances and applications of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). Random sampling is the key of the MCS technique. The 11 chapters of this book collectively illustrates how such a sampling technique is exploited to solve difficult problems or analyze complex systems in various engineering and science domains. Issues related to the use of MCS including goodness-of-fit, uncertainty evaluation, variance reduction, optimization, and statistical estimation are discussed and examples of solutions are given. Novel applications of MCS are demonstrated in financial systems modeling, estimation of transition behavior of organic molecules, chemical reaction, particle diffusion, kinetic simulation of biophysics and biological data, and healthcare practices. To enlarge the accessibility of this book, both field-specific background materials and field-specific usages of MCS are introduced in most chapters. The aim of this book is to unify knowledge of MCS from different fields to facilitate research and new applications of MCS.

This four time award-winning book invites you on a redemptive and uplifting exploration of addiction and recovery. While exploring common themes and challenges in recovery with mindfulness and self-compassion, you'll discover the spiritual and psychological gifts residing in the midst of-and as a result of intimately being with-these challenges. As addiction is everywhere in our modern, globalized world, Dr. Bucklew-who is himself in long term recovery-invites us not to stigmatize or narrowly define it. Whether we turn to alcohol, substances, food, screens, or compulsive thought, at the heart of all addiction lies the same dynamic: an unseen and clenching resistance to the present moment. When we slow down enough to feel into this resistance, we find that it underlies and permeates most aspects of our waking lives. My friend, you are not alone. The Hidden Gifts of Addiction shows that as addiction is a natural, unconscious process of resistance, recovery is a process as well. Recovery is revealed as a loving, moment-by-moment, embrace of resistance. Although we may intuitively feel this to be true, putting it to practice in our daily lives is another matter. This book serves as a companion to you along the way as you do just that. While reading, you'll learn to develop self-compassion, and see how meditative inquiry can shine light on trauma, and other challenging core emotions that can feed more overt addictive patterns. You'll explore the role of the body in recovery, and see how to relax your identification with addictive thinking patterns. You'll also find that it's safe to really listen to and trust yourself on your absolutely unique journey of recovery. Most importantly, The Hidden Gifts of Addiction invites you to see that you do not need to wait years to feel better. Health, happiness, and the peace you yearn for are in large part the life-blood of this moment. 2021 Living Now Book Awards Winner: As 2021 "Books for Better Living" gold medal winner in the category of Self-Help, the work is recognized, amongst international titles, to be 'life-changing and exceptional'.

In the twenty-first novel in this new series, Tom has defeated the Electricity Vampires and now wants something a bit less diabolical to take up his time. A new X-Prize is announced that intrigues him: fly a solar-powered aircraft, non-stop, around the globe in just 36 hours! That sort of speed will require an electrical powered jet, and that will burn up a lot of electricity. So, how can he manage to make what he needs by day... and still have enough to run at full speed at night? Might his recently discovered cousin in England, Thomasina Swift, be of some assistance? After all, she and her partner, Betty, have come up with an incredible solar cloth! Just as long as nothing "exotic" is used like one of Tom's Power Pods. Complicating things is a mysterious woman, and a deadly opponent, seemingly out to keep Tom from winning or perhaps from ever getting back home alive.

In the 20th adventure of this new series, Tom Swift finds a pleasant day test sailing a new yacht is turning into an attack from the sky. Out of nowhere a lightning bolt strikes his boat and sucks all power from everywhere. Not a freak incident, it seems to be more of a warning of things to come when a large power generating station along the East Coast is attacked next, with the same loss of electricity as if it had been siphoned back into the sky. This time, there is a great deal of damage and a near death. More and more power stations are targeted and now Tom must try to find out several vital things: Who is attacking? Why are they invisible and how do they manage that? What is their purpose in zig-zagging up and down the country hitting station after station? Not only is he broadsided by these attacks, he also finds out there is another Tom Swift out there; or rather a Tommy Swift. Together they work to uncover the evil attackers Bud Barclay has dubbed the Electricity Vampires.

In this hardbound edition of novel 23 in this series, Tom must travel to Mars to find out just why the small moon, Phobos, has suddenly begun coming close to the surface. In fact it is coming down to lower and lower orbits that could, within months, endanger the colonists on the planet below.He first tries to use brute force and to push it back into higher orbit, but nearly loses several spacecraft in the attempt. So, he now is faced with finding out the why of it all before he can find a solution that won't mean simply destroying the moon.That, he fears, might backfire and do damage to the colony and the planet. He tries to find some answers with the aid of his Space Friends, but they seem to have disappeared from his life. Without their help he mounts an expedition of Phobos and finds about the last thing he might think of. Now it is a race against time to see if he can rectify the situation and re-place Phobos in its correct orbit.

Isaac Newton's Second Law of Inertia postulates that a body in motion tends to continue at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force. The book, The Three Legged Table, challenges the reader not to accept things in their lives as they are, but presents the three Principles in every person's life and how one can affect the changes needed to redirect them towards the goals they seek. The Three Legged Table offers eighteen words that, when they are applied to the Personal, Social and Spiritual principles which govern your life, will give you the choices to redirect the path you are on. This book will not only focus you on how to achieve success through these powerful words, but will also point out the pitfalls in life that often keep people from reaching their fullest potential. How can you achieve your fullest Personal Growth? There are only five words to greater success. How can you achieve greater Social growth? There are only ten words you need to live by to achieve stronger social interactions and success with others. Finally, how can you achieve greater Spiritual Growth and peace in your life? The Three Legged Table offers the three words that will lead you to understanding and recognition of God's involvement in your Life. The Three Legged Table reaffirms the truth that each and every one has one Most Valuable and Precious Resource. To achieve your Maximum Potential and complete Balance in your life, a commitment to the eighteen words shared here to your fullest abilities and talents will allow you to apply the OUTSIDE FORCES of change Isaac Newton postulated to alter your course through life and achieve lasting growth, success and peace.
