＜p＞＜strong＞New insights into one of the most important episodes in British labour history＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Labour Revolt that swept Britain in the early 20th century was one of the most sustained, dramatic and violent explosions of industrial militancy and social conflict the country has ever experienced.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It involved large-scale strikes by miners, seamen, dockers, railway workers and many others, and was dominated by unskilled and semi-skilled workers, many acting independently of trade-union officials. Amidst this powerful grassroots energy, the country saw widespread solidarity action, phenomenal union membership growth, breakthroughs in both industrial unionism and women’s union organisation, and a dramatic increase in the collective power of the working-class movement. It heralded political radicalisation that celebrated direct action and challenged head-on the Liberal government and police and military, as well as parliamentary reformism of the Labour Party.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Exploring the role of the radical left and the relationship between industrial struggles and political organisation, with new archival research and fresh insights and combining history from below and above, Ralph Darlington provides a multi-dimensional portrayal of the context, causes, actors, dynamics and contemporary significance of the Labour Revolt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Ralph Darlington＜/strong＞ is Emeritus Professor of Employment Relations at Salford University. His books include ＜em＞Glorious Summer＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Radical Unionism＜/em＞. His research has been featured in national newspapers, and radio and television.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Organizations must consider revising and possibly scrapping decades-old habits, processes, and their very ways of thinking and operating. In so doing, organizations can literally reinvent themselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Transformation requires much more than simply obtaining the latest technology, plugging it in, and sitting back to watch reinvention take place. From top to bottom, organizations will be compelled to change entire mindsets, attitudes, and assumptions about how they operate, how they can grow, and even the very reason for their existence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book introduces readers to ideas, concepts, and a comprehensive framework (LIFTS) that they can use to better position themselves and their organizations to reap the greatest number of benefits that business and digital transformation can afford.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Immortality of Influence:【電子書籍】[ Salome Thomas-El ]

＜p＞Salome Thomas-EL, award-winning educator and the highly-praised author of ＜em＞I Choose to Stay＜/em＞, has helped hundreds of troubled children get into magnet high schools, major colleges, and universities. Yet he still finds himself devastated by the long-ago death of a promising student named Willow Briggs. Salome worked with and consistently encouraged this troubled boy, who ultimately became one of the school's top chess players and students. But when Willow moved on to high school, he found no real positive influences. He struggled academically and was murdered on a street corner at the age of sixteen. More than any other factor, Willow's death launched Salome Thomas-EL on his mission to be a positive influence, and to encourage all of us to set the best example possible for the young people in our lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Immortality of Influence＜/em＞ is a refreshing, common-sense roadmap to helping kids achieve their dreams in which Thomas-EL movingly describes the methods he has used to help his students succeed. It all started in Vaux Middle School, where he began a chess club to teach boys and girls how to think critically and resolve conflicts with their minds instead of their fists. Not only did his students win eight national championships and become local heroes, they also scored high on the SATs and got into top colleges. When Thomas-EL found himself faced with kids who didn't exercise or eat well, he started a summer program in which the students walked to museums and other cultural events around the city. Recognizing the importance of exposing kids to the world outside their own neighborhoods, he took fifteen African-American students to rural Vermont, where they interacted with white children their age and discovered how much they had in common. All of these students were later accepted to the best magnet high schools. These are just a few examples of what can happen when kids are mentored in a positive way--not only at home, but in the community at large.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For parents, guardians, educators--anyone who wants the best for kids, this book is an essential, inspirational reference. It's all about making a difference--not just for today, but forever. Sometimes, it only takes one special person to set a child on the right path, but more often, it does indeed take a village. ＜em＞The Immortality of Influence＜/em＞ will inspire you to band together with other caring adults and start making a difference--now.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞This curated collection of musings about Disney by writer and digital creator DisneyCicerone is infused with obscure history that will inspire you to see the parks you love in a new way, encouraging you to slow down, look closer, and see your own story reflected in every magical moment.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Is there anything better than that moment when you walk into the Disney parks in the morning?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The early light gives everything an optimistic glow, and the anticipation of what’s ahead makes your feet light and your heart lighter.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And seeing the castle for the first time… there are no words that adequately describe that feeling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So what makes it so magical for us?

We don ears and outfits to highlight the fact that on this day we choose joy above all else.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I can think of no other place on this planet that gives so many people this gift of reprieve, hope, and optimism.

＜p＞＜strong＞A clear-eyed, critical examination of the social, political, and economic costs of hosting the 2016 summer Olympics＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The selection of Rio de Janeiro as the site of the summer 2016 Olympic Games set off jubilant celebrations in Brazil-and created enormous expectations for economic development and the advancement of Brazil as a major player on the world stage. Although the games were held without major incident, the economic, environmental, political, and social outcomes for Brazil ranged from disappointing to devastating. Corruption scandals trimmed the fat profits that many local real estate developers had envisioned, and the local government was driven into bankruptcy.

＜p＞JOURNEY WITHIN: THE FINAL STEPS TO SELF REALIZATION is the story of our spiritual ascent, both as individuals and collectively. With equal parts instruction and inspiration, the book beautifully describes how we have gotten where we are today and our essential next steps. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi gave more than 3000 recorded talks all around the world. Whether it was a village school, a medical conference, a gathering of UN employees or a suburban hall on a hot summer evening, her central words were the same: introspection, ascent, inner peace and ? most important of all ? a realization of our true self. With humour and love, she both guided and listened. From the opening words, “My father felt that I would do something great,” we can sense the trajectory of this tale. And we know too that we are bound for that same greatness. With this book, Shri Mataji reminds us of the journey we are all on. And the direction of that journey is always the same. It is a JOURNEY WITHIN.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Experience of Truth【電子書籍】[ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi ]

＜p＞In the summer of 1984, in a period of eighteen days, there were four Sahaja Yoga public programmes in London. In Lambeth, Hampstead, Ilford and Chiswick ー the south, north, east and west ー Shri Mataji spoke on four evenings in what could be considered to be the longest and most complete introduction to Sahaja Yoga. These four programmes, collectively known as “The Experience of Truth,” totalled more than five hours. She spoke, continuing from one lecture to the next, with the understanding that the same audience was in attendance. There was very little repetition, only recap. The description was in depth. The wisdom was unique. Questions were answered. Shri Mataji spoke about the truth within ー truth known to us through our senses and the truth perceived through vibrations. She spoke about truth as an unchanging absolute and our ability to become that truth in a new collective consciousness. And finally she spoke to us about the enjoyment of that truth ー the very nature of the Divine. “You become the joy,” she said, “the source of joy and the giver of joy. You enjoy yourself because your Self is glorious.” We could not have asked for more. It was a summer to remember.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Fallacy of Marx's Theory of Surplus-value【電子書籍】[ Henry Seymour ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"The Fallacy of Marx's Theory of Surplus Value, by Henry Seymour...contended that the theory of surplus value is...the economic cornerstone...and that the refutation of this theory breaks down the claim...that their system is sanctioned by science." -＜em＞Reynold's Newspaper, June 20, 1897＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Is Marx's theory of surplus value, the cornerstone of Marxism and modern socialism, based on an obvious unreconcilable logical fallacy, and thus doomed to repeated practical failure when put into effect?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1897, prominent individualist Henry Seymour debunked Marx's cornerstone theory in his short 50-page book titled, "The Fallacy of Marx's Theory of Surplus-value."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In introducing his work Seymour writes,＜br /＞ "The disciples of Karl Marx claim that their master's greatest achievement was to bring to light the important 'generalisation' of surplus-value. This pretended generalisation, which is set forth with a great flourish of 'scientific' demonstration in the pages of Das Kapital, is in reality the economic cornerstone of State Socialism....＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The object of this treatise is to expose the extravagance of such a claim, and to point outーI believe for the first timeーthat this theory of surplus-value is based upon two antithetical hypotheses, upon two ideas which are mutually exclusive. I shall shew that Marx's theory of surplus-value is a complete contradiction of his theory of value, of which it is pretended to be a logical corollary; for the theory of value involves that the use-value of a commodity does not enter into the exchange value thereof, whereas the theory of surplus value rests entirely upon the contrary assumption that it is the alienation of the use-value by the laborer of his "commodity", labor power, that enables the capitalist to increase its exchange-value, and thereby acquire a surplus-value."＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the author:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seymour was born in Hayes, Bromley, England on 28 January 1860 and died in Islington, on 3 February 1938, at the age of 78. Seymour first came to prominence in 1882, while living in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Seymour was appointed the secretary of the Tunbridge Wells Secular Society and he was convicted in the summer of 1882 of blasphemy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1885, Seymour published the first English-language individualist anarchist periodical in Britain, The Anarchist. He began work on the first issue while still living in Tunbridge Wells, although it was not published until he completed his move to Islington, London.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The paper was produced from 1885 to 1888 and was briefly co-edited by Peter Kropotkin and Charlotte Wilson, both of whom went on to form Freedom following disagreements between the three.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As well as producing The Anarchist, Seymour published a wide range of pamphlets and tracts, and he printed handbills for other groups, including the Tunbridge Wells branch of the SDF. The SDF pamphlet was published by the "International Publishing Company", owned by Seymour.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seymour is important in the history of British anarchism, particularly individualist anarchism a branch of anarchism which has dwindled in influence in Britain since the early 20th century. Seymour published a wide range of works on anarchist subjects. He was involved in the late 19th century radical community in London and it seems likely that Seymour printed material for many individuals and groups.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seymour was involved in many groups and causes during the latter 1900s. He was a founding member of Free Currency Propaganda and produced a pamphlet called The Monomaniacs: A Fable in Finance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the early 20th century, Seymour became involved in the nascent gramophone industry. He introduced Edison's phonograph to Britain in 1913, and wrote about it in Sound Wave magazine. He wrote The Reproduction of Sound in 1917, described as "acknowledged as the standard work on the subject" in the industry at the time. He produced a gramophone called the Superphone and was responsible for many innovations in gramophone technology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seymour was key in the development of EMG Gramophones and produced parts for the early production models.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞**A ＜em＞New Scientist＜/em＞ Best Popular Science Book of 2023＜/p＞ ＜p＞How seeing Earth through the eyes of an astronaut brings new wonder and meaning to life on our planet.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞One stifling summer night, the poet and journalist Marjolijn van Heemstra lay awake, unable to sleepーlike so many of us feeling anxious and alienated, deeply exhausted yet restless. Amid the suffocating stream of daily obligations, the clamor of notifications and increasingly dismal headlines, she longed for a way to rise above the frenzy, for a renewed sense of meaning and connection. Then she learned about the overview effectーa permanent shift in consciousness many astronauts experience when beholding Earth from outside the atmosphereーand wondered: could the perspective of outer space offer the internal space she sought?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The lyrical account of van Heemstra’s yearlong quest to experience the overview effect on Earth, ＜em＞In Light-Years There’s No Hurry＜/em＞ invites us to lift our gaze above eye level and discover our connections with the cosmos, our planet, and each other. We follow as van Heemstra’s cosmic awareness expands and she finds herself feeling simultaneously lighter and more grounded. Compared with the complexity of the universe, daily life on Earth begins to seem more manageable, while understanding the improbability of our collective existence gives her new patience and tenderness for her neighbors. The grand rhythms of light-years and eons become a source of restoration and reliefーa comforting, necessary reminder to slow down and zoom out.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contemplating the solace a cosmic perspective offers in our chaotic, divided world, ＜em＞In Light-Years There’s No Hurry＜/em＞ is a moving meditation on what it is to be human amid the vastness of the universe.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞The most practical book on prayer that you will ever read!＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Originally published in 1976 followed by multiple printings and editions, Hope's book, Discovering How to Pray, became a best seller in the Christian marketplace. Considered a classic among books on prayer, she is the one who coined the term, "Arrow Prayers," now in common use. Made fresh for new readers, she offers tips on personal and effective means of prayer to enrich a person's relationship with God, with results!＜/p＞ ＜p＞"This little book has had an outsize influence on Christians around the worldーand on me and my prayer life. I've found that lots of books will teach you tons of things about prayer, but they don't teach you how to do it. One of the best things about Hope's book is this: it will help you to pray."＜/p＞ ＜p＞~Rev. James Earl Mead, D.Min, DHL,＜/p＞ ＜p＞Author, Jesus And＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Discovering How to Pray＜/strong＞ covers such topics as the use of "Arrow Prayers," creating a quiet place to pray, how Christian meditation differs from New Age practices, the skill of inner-listening, and picturing prayer as already answered, among other easy to apply lessons. Perfect for individual inspiration or for group bible study.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her book has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and has been translated into eight other languages (many with multiple printings) including Korean, Afrikaans, Arabic, German, Kannada (in India), Spanish, Maylay, and Lithuanian.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hope went on to write four more books, which are also now out of print. After re-obtaining the rights to publish her books from the original publisher, at age 94, she asked her adult children if they would find a way to make sure they were available again in fresh paperback and digital formats for a new generation of readers. They began with re-publishing her book on prayer through Normandy Park Press.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her daughter-in-law, Linda MacDonald, author of How to Help Your Spouse Heal from Your Affair, oversaw the project.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Editorial Review:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"In 1977, my first summer on Young Life Staff, I found myself in a new town, a new job, and no friends. My first week at a local board meeting, I met some new friends who gave me the book, Discovering How to Pray, as a welcome gift. I didn't know I needed such a book, as I was headed for Fuller Seminary that fall and was now "officially" in full time ministry. Yet I soon discovered that, as I began my ministry journey, there was (and is) much that I have to learn about prayer. In this practical book, Hope helped me to "throw the whole weight of my anxieties upon him" (1 Peter 5:7, JB Phillips). That summer, prayer shifted from a religious obligation to a welcome and longed for refuge. "Arrow prayers" became regular practices that to this day I still share with others. I am grateful that Hope's family is reissuing Discovering How to Pray. May new generations be as captivated by the unchanging gift of prayer through it as I was nearly a half a century ago."＜/p＞ ＜p＞~Chap Clark, Ph.D, Professor of youth, family, and culture (ret.)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fuller Theological Seminary＜/p＞ ＜p＞author, Hurt: Inside the World of Today's Teenagers＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞With surprising candor, the authors of ＜em＞(Re)narrating Teacher Identity: Telling Truths and Becoming Teachers＜/em＞ crack open what it means to become and be a teacher in the twenty-first century United States. In an effort to dig deeper into the challenge of teaching, four new teachers engaged in a summer writers workshop. Drawing from the work of Barbara Kamler (2001), the teachers used artifacts such as school graffiti and text messages to "reposition" and (re)narrate their identities as teachers. In braving truth-telling, the authors built a collective well-being. These stories are an important resource for novice teachers, experienced teachers, and teacher educators alike for disrupting dominant teacher narratives and moving towards alternatives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞"Joseph Kipp was the most noted Indian trader of the Northwest." -＜em＞J.W. Schultz, Bird Woman (Sacajawea)＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Joe Kipp's life of itself would make a volume. His was a strange history, which could have occurred in no other country." -＜em＞Emerson Hough, Traveling the Old Trails, 1919＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Joseph Kipp, or Raven Quiver, as the Blackfeet fondly called him, inherited all the good and brave qualities of his father and mother, Captain James Kipp and his Mandan wife." -＜em＞Schultz, Lone Bull's Mistake＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞J. W. Schultz (1859?1947) was an author, explorer, and historian known for his historical writings of the Blackfoot Indians in the late 1800s, when he lived among them as a fur trader. In 1907, Schultz published My Life as an Indian, the first of many future writings about the Blackfeet that he would produce over the next thirty years. In 1903 this Plains veteran published the true story of "Raven Quiver, the Trader"; it is "real stuff," vivid and exciting, with the value that comes from firsthand knowledge.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In all his fine Western stories the author nowhere has produced a more intriguing narrative than this. In It he tells the true story of Joe Kipp, the half-Mandan legendary fur trader, known to the Blackfoot as "Raven Quiver." Born in 1849 Missouri, he came west to the Rocky Mountains in 1868 where he became a prospector, Army guide and scout, and Indian trader. This is where Schultz' narrative takes up the exciting life of "Raven Quiver."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the July 18, 1903, issue of Forest & Stream, Schultz published a 20-page article on his close friend "Raven Quiver." [Forest & Stream, Vol. 61, p.42, July 18, 1903]. It is this story that has been republished here for the convenience of the interested reader.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his bestselling book "Bird Woman (Sacajawea)," Schultz also mentions Raven Quiver:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Back in the 1870's ... I went to Fort Benton, Montana. It was my good fortune to fall in at once with the late Joseph Kipp, the most noted Indian trader of the Northwest, and his mother, a full-blood Mandan, and widow of Captain James Kipp, American Fur Company Factor in the Mandan village in 1821, and later. I lived with my new-found friends for many years, and a nomadic life it was. Wherever the buffalo were most plentiful, there we were; some winters living and trading in the lodges of the Blackfeet, and other winters in hastily built but comfortable log trading-posts which we put up here and there.＜br /＞ "Wherever we roamed, from Canada south to the Yellowstone, and from the Rockies far eastward upon the plains, we felt that, in common with our Blackfeet people! No part of it had as yet been ploughed, nor fenced, and Fort Benton, at the head of navigation on the Missouri, was the only settlement upon it. During the busy season, from October until spring, I helped in our trade with the Blackfeet tribes for their buffalo robes and furs. At other times I hunted with my Indian friends, and even, on several occasions, went to war with them against other tribes."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his famous book "Lone Bull's Mistake", Schultz describes Raven Quiver in a footnote as follows:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Joseph Kipp, or Raven Quiver, as the Blackfeet fondly called him, inherited all the good and brave qualities of his father and mother," who were "Captain James Kipp and his Mandan wife. Captain Kipp was a trusted factor of the American Fur Company. It was in the summer of 1833 that he built the Company's Fort Mackenzie, at the mouth of the Marias, where Lodge Pole Chief first met him. Of his wife I will simply state here that she was one of the best, the most high-minded, kindly women I ever knew, and a second mother to me.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This manual presents how buildings can be designed to adapt to hot and arid climates, and particularly to the local climate of Southern Arava , and give indoor comfort whilst promoting durable shelter and environmental stability. This guide based on Alex Cicelsky article, in his study "Parametric analysis of environmentally responsive strategies for building envelopes specific for hot hyperarid regions", presented the components of residential buildings that allow homes to be passively heated by solar radiation and cooled with less energy than is currently required for mechanical cooling. An analysis of the climate in the southern Arava revealed three seasonal conditions that have to be considered when designing freestanding and energy-efficient buildings: a clear or partly cloudy winter, when adequate heating by solar gains is possible; spring and autumn, with comfortable ambient temperatures and the risk of overheating by solar gains; and summer, when ambient temperatures are above comfort levels on all days and most nights.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Regardless of whether you are building your dream home or just taking on a weekend project.

Its skincare and makeup productsーcreams packaged to look like milkshakes or pandas, and snail mucus face masks, to name a fewーwork together to fascinate us, champion consumerism, and invite us to indulge. In the four years Elise spent in Seoul as NPR’s bureau chief, the global K-beauty industry quadrupled. Today it's worth $10 billion and is only getting bigger as it rides the Hallyu wave around the globe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And fun as self-care consumerism may be, Elise turns her veteran eye to the darker questions lurking beneath the surface of this story. When technology makes it easy to quantify and optimize ourselvesーfrom banishing blemishes, to whittling our waistlines, even to shaving down our jawsーwhere do we draw the line? What are the dangers for a society where a flawless face and body are promoted and possible? What are the real financial, physical, and emotional costs of beauty work in a culture that valorizes endless self-improvement and codes it as empowerment?＜/p＞ ＜p＞With rich historical context and deep reporting, including hours of interviews with South Korean women, this is a complex, provocative look at the ways hustle culture has reached into the sinews of our bodies. It raises complicated questions about gender disparity, consumerism, the beauty imperative of an appearance obsessed society, and the undeniable political, economic, and social capital of good looks worldwide. And it points the way toward an alternative vision, one that's more affirming and inclusive than a beauty culture led by industry.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Keys to Life, Volume 1【電子書籍】[ Derrick E. Drisdel ]

＜p＞This book is called ＜em＞The Keys to Life, Volume 1＜/em＞, and I received the first key from my father when I was about eight years old. My father was a bus driver then, and during that time bus drivers used a change maker in order to make change for the passengers. Therefore, my father always had lots of change lying around the house. I remember one summer day when I asked my father if he had any extra money so I could go to the store and buy a popsicle. That's when he said: "There is no such thing as extra money." I didn't know it at the time but that became my first key to life. As I grew older, I can recall several keys of life given to me by my father. Sometimes he would tell me: "You may not understand right now but when the situation presents itself, you will remember these words."＜/p＞ ＜p＞I remember being in college, calling my father long distance, and telling him: "Hey Pop, I remember a long time ago you told me such and such; man, it just happened, and I'm glad I knew what to do at the time." Sometimes he would drop a key on me without any situation occurring. For instance, I remember one day he said to me: "Rick, if you want to have a good life, just be good." I said: "That's it?" and he said: "Yeah, it's so simple it's like a secret, because most people aren't doing it." I would always scratch my head and say: "Wow, that's deep." As time went on, I began to develop my own keys to life. Some would come to me through life experiences, and some I would create by watching other people's experiences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The keys that I learned from my father and through life experience were so valuable, I began sharing them with my children. At one point I was sharing some of the keys to life with my kids till one of them said to me: "Wow, Pop, that's clever. Why don't you put all this down in a book?" I said: "That's a good idea!" And before long I started to write this book called ＜em＞Keys to Life＜/em＞. I'm sure we all have looked back and said to ourselves: "I wish I knew when I was younger what I know now. I would have done things differently."＜/p＞ ＜p＞I hope that as you read these keys to life, they will give you an objective approach to situations that may occur in your life, and that they someday open doors to you that would normally be closed. My hope is that, as you read this book, you open your mind, think about the information being shared, and develop an objective approach to some of life's challenges. If you use these keys, I guarantee you that they will help you free your mind. And if I may quote my former boss George Clinton: "Free your mind and your behind will follow." I told my kids: "If you find ＜em＞The Keys to Life＜/em＞ helpful...it's already a success."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞During the summer of 2010, Catherine Reed learned she had a brain tumor. In preparing for the challenging road ahead, Catherine relied on her faith and expected the best, despite the known risks. But what she did not expect was for God to choose that moment to bless her with a life-changing revelation.As she lay on a gurney awaiting surgery, Catherine closed her eyes to visualize the comforting message of the psalm her husband was reading aloud.
