Finding Your Pace

Autor: Romney J. Ruder

Número de Páginas: 89

It has been a great privilege for me to join hands with Lifeline Global Ministries. I’ll never forget my first experience at Angola State Prison when a large group of men was honored for completing the yearlong, Malachi Dads program. I was also deeply honored to present my Life Essentials Study Bible to each graduate and be able to spend some time training them to use it. Frankly, it was a life-changing experience. Since then, the opportunities have only multiplied. From Florida to California and beyond, men and women in a multitude of prisons are not only being redeemed through their faith in Jesus Christ, but they are growing and maturing in Christ because of Lifeline Global Ministries. You’ll learn more about this ministry in Finding Your Pace but even more significant, you’ll learn what it really means to enter and follow the narrow path that leads to life eternal. You will also immensely enjoy Romney’s athletic metaphors and similar biblical examples. The Apostle Paul loved to illustrate biblical truth with these illustrations even when facing death. Thus, he wrote, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7)....

The Pace of Modernity

Autor: O. Bradley Bassler

Número de Páginas: 227

Wittgenstein said that philosophers should greet each other, not by saying, “Hello,” but rather, “Take your time.” But what is time? Time is money, but this points to an even better answer to this basic question for our modern epoch: time is acceleration. In a cultural system which stresses economic efficiency, the quicker route is always the more prized, if not always the better one. Wittgenstein’s dictum thus constitutes an act of rebellion against the dominant vector of our culture, but as such it threatens to become (quickly) anti-modern. We need an approach to “reading” our information-rich culture which is not reactionary but rather meets its accelerated condition. In this book, O. Bradley Bassler develops a toolkit for acute reading of our modern pace, not through withdrawal but rather through active engagement with a broad range of disciplines. The main characters in this drama comprise a cast of master readers: Hannah Arendt, Jean Starobinski, Harold Bloom, Angus Fletcher, Hans Blumenberg and John Ashbery, with secondary figures drawn from the readers and critics whom this central group suggests. We must develop a vocabulary of pacing, reflecting our modern...

Leadership Skills for Licensed Practical Nurses Working with the Aging Population

Autor: Cheryl Kruschke

Número de Páginas: 187

This textbook fills a gap in education for licensed practical nurses (LPN), providing information specific to their own needs and concerns. Firstly, it clarifies the leadership role of LPNs in the healthcare setting, and then identifies the knowledge, skills and abilities related to leadership, management, communication, culture change and person-directed care concepts. It also explains the efficacy of these concepts related to the LPN care of patients in the work setting and reviews the Nurse Practice Act (NPA) enacted in every US state. LPNs play an essential role in the patient care team and we have to ensure they receive advanced education as practitioners in healthcare settings that reach vulnerable populations such the elderly. They have been considered as the registered nurses’ right hand in acute care as well as many home-health settings. They provide basic medical and nursing care, ensure the comfort of patients, discuss health care with patients, and report the status of patients to registered nurses and doctors. But the LPNs are often expected to take on a real leadership role based on the perception that as licensed nurses they already have all the qualifications and ...

My Race My Pace

Autor: Kevin T. Hodge Sr.

Número de Páginas: 87

It all started with the first step and a willingness to run. When Kevin Hodge decided he wanted to train for the New York City marathon, he never dreamed that he would eventually participate in four marathons and over ten half-marathons. In an inspirational retelling of his personal experiences as he trained to do the impossible, Hodge discloses how he, a recovering addict and alcoholic, slowly realized the benefits of running that included relief from stress and anxiety, and endorphins that set a positive tone for each day. While motivating others to walk, run, and eat healthier, Hodge candidly addresses the lies that African Americans are often told about what they ingest and drink, and then discloses the dietary changes he incorporated into his life and the results he attained. Throughout his story, Hodge relays how he received strength from prayer and the beloved memory of his sister to persevere through every race. My Race, My Pace is the true story of an African American marathoner as he challenged himself to attain better health through running and lifestyle changes.
