Enchanted Wisdom: Enduring Ideas of World Religions by Eric Bronson Pdf

In this unique introduction to world religions, author Eric Bronson focuses on the enduring ideas embodied by a variety of faiths, and the ways in which those ideas shape the world we live in. According to sociologist Max Weber, "The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world.'" Although the pace of scientific discovery and technological innovation has increased exponentially since Weber's day, other ways of knowing persist and still have much to offer. As Bronson notes, "Enchantment is a quality in the world that fires our non-rational imagination. Enchantments trigger in us an elevated sense of excitement, fear, or curiosity.... We may be enchanted by sunsets, popular music, or other people, for example. Enchanted experiences are also instructive: they teach us things about ourselves and the world we inhabit. Therefore, 'enchanted wisdom' describes many kinds of non-rational knowledge we gain about ourselves and our world." In discussing eleven representative faiths-including global religions with hundreds of millions of adherents, like Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as the less well-known beliefs of the Navajo and the Yoruba-the author draws on a wide range of literary, musical, and other cultural references to enhance interest and understanding. The core tenets of each religion are first examined, followed by discussion of its evolution over time and contemporary manifestations. Questions at the close of each chapter direct students toward further learning, while comprehensive end-of-chapter glossaries provide a convenient summary of key people, places, and ideas. Full chapters are included on the following faiths: Hinduism - Buddhism - Daoism - Yoruba - Judaism - Christianity - Islam - Confucianism - Sikhism - Navajo - Shintoism. The text also includes an insightful introduction, 52 images, 51 boxes focusing on topics of special interest, comprehensive references, and a full index.

Deep Smarts by Dorothy Leonard,Walter C. Swap Pdf

Deep smarts are the engine of any organization as well as the essential value that individuals build throughout their careers. Distinct from IQ, this type of expertise consists of practical wisdom: accumulated knowledge, know-how, and intuition gained through extensive experience. How do such smarts develop? And what happens when people with deep smarts leave a particular job or the organization? Can any of their smarts be transferred? Should they be? Basing their conclusions on a multi-year research project, Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap argue that cultivating and managing deep smarts are critical parts of any leader's job. The authors draw on examples from firms of all sizes and types to illustrate the connection between deep smarts and organizational viability and continuous innovation. Leonard and Swap describe the origins and limits of deep smarts and outline processes for cultivating and leveraging them across the organization. Developing an experience repertoire and receiving strategic guidance from wise coaches can help individuals move up the ladder of expertise from novice to master. Addressing a topic of increasing importance as the Boomer generation retires, Deep Smarts challenges leaders to take a hands-on approach to managing the experience-based knowledge shaping the future of their organizations.

The Wisdom Pyramid by Brett McCracken Pdf

We're facing an information overload. With the quick tap of a finger we can access an endless stream of addictive information—sports scores, breaking news, political opinions, streaming TV, the latest Instagram posts, and much more. Accessing information has never been easier—but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult. In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett McCracken has created the "Wisdom Pyramid." Inspired by the food pyramid model, the Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). At a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick, The Wisdom Pyramid suggests that we become healthy and wise when we reorient our lives around God—the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.

When Life Doesn't Make Sense by Russell D. Ward Pdf

When Life Doesn’t Make Sense is a timely, immensely practical and compelling book. Believers are trying to process a troubling season of life – grief, unemployment, money problems, divorce, sickness, relationships loss – to name a few. When someone is overwhelmed by loss, a hole is burning in their soul. They ask… What is the meaning of my pain? or is there meaning in my pain? Russell exposes the link between the New Normal and a profound spiritual event – The Wilderness. An unsettling place of emptiness, darkness, and suffering. The Wilderness is unplanned, unscheduled, and unwelcome. Being in the Wilderness can be overwhelming, as one grapples with dead ends, setbacks, detours and delays. God DOES have a plan of escape. Moses, Joshua, David, Job, Jesus and Paul were not exempt from experiencing a Desert time in their life – and they would call themselves blessed that they did! There is hope. God leads you through the pain and pressure of the Wilderness to The Promised Land – a place of peace, fruitfulness, and freedom. As you journey through the Wilderness, you acquire different “tools” and put them in your spiritual toolbox. These tools are traits such as courage, endurance, prayer, fasting, obedience, patience, etc. You will often return to your toolbox to make use of them. When Life Doesn’t Make Sense is an immensely practical book filled with true-to-life stories. Its approach will penetrate your heart and illuminate your journey. Your present trial could be what sets off a great move of God in your life. The Desert is a litmus test to expose what state of mind you are operating under, with the purpose of freeing you from an incorrect mindset. God planned for the Israelites something greater than simply having them travel from one place to another. They were being reprogrammed to accept their new assignment. When you follow their story, there is a misconception that being in the Wilderness is punishment. We are broken and humbled in the Desert. It is there we learn to rely on God’s provision. The longer correction is resisted, the greater the hindrance to spiritual growth. Correction prepares your heart to meet God in a new way. It is the primary means by which God reveals His character in us. There are some who elect to live and die in the Wilderness. If they choose to do so, it leads down a path to immoral and destructive behavior. God brings His people into difficult situations to shape and train them. Adversity is necessary to ready a soldier for battle conditions. The Lord always fulfills His promises, unfolding them when the time is right. Each chapter is written with great respect for the complexity of your situation. Russell delves into the reasons readers feel adrift from God and how Christians can create or renew a power-filled relationship with Him. Learn more at www.promisedlandbook.com.

Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book by Fulton John Sheen,Archbishop Fulton Sheen Pdf

A wartime prayerbook written for dangerous days like ours made to fit in pocket or purse! Our parents before us understood that strife is rarely far from even the best of us, and they girded themselves for warfare, actual and spiritual. Among the wisest of men who shepherded them was Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who won their hearts with his warm, engaging broadcast personality . . . but in secret he put on the armor of God. World War II thrust temptation, fear, danger, and death on the men and women Archbishop Sheen had formed through his popular radio shows in the 1930's. Knowing that many of his listeners were now beyond the sound of his voice, fighting and dying on battlefields afar, he wrote this pocket-size prayerbook so that they, too, could put on the armor of God as they faced their new trials, physical and spiritual. Recently, a friend showed us his tattered World War II copy. We recognized immediately that with the new dangers we face since September 11, the time had come to draft this old prayer book back into service. Yes, it's for soldiers (and you should send it to every soldier you know so he will have it in his breast pocket when he needs it); but it's for you and me, too. Archbishop Sheen knew that no matter what our circumstances may be, the deadliest enemy we face is armed not with a gun but with temptation. In dangerous, uncertain times like ours, the Devil lures us quickly into lust, anger, hatred, and despair. Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book will help keep you from these vices so that you, too, can put on the armor of God and triumph over evil in our day.
