What was Eli Shaffner thinking? He had it all. An attractive, intelligent girlfriend, a wealthy family, the perks of privilege. He had the opportunity to build the kind of life most people can only dream about. But a few obstacles got in his wayalust, pride, a high-minded sense of professional purpose, and a profound aversion to living like the rich, guilt-ridden Jews he felt surrounded by. So Eli, a Chicago-area tennis pro with a thirst for philosophy, a commitment to Yoga, and a passion for an exotic beauty named Malaika, decides to throw it all away and build a life on his own terms, a task that will prove far more difficult, and dangerous, than he could ever have predicted. In the darkly comic tradition of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, Moments of Doubt is the emotionally charged account of how a man makes his way through passion, pain, and paradox toward the cathartic realization that sometimes, in the end, the very things you thought were destroying your life prove to be the only things that can make you happy.

The single fastest growing religious group of our time is those who check the box next to the word none on national surveys. In America, this is 20 percent of the population. Exactly who are the unaffiliated? What caused this seismic shift in our culture? Are our churches poised to reach these people? James Emery White lends his prophetic voice to one of the most important conversations the church needs to be having today. He calls churches to examine their current methods of evangelism, which often result only in transfer growth--Christians moving from one church to another--rather than in reaching the "nones." The pastor of a megachurch that is currently experiencing 70 percent of its growth from the unchurched, White knows how to reach this growing demographic, and here he shares his ministry strategies with concerned pastors and church leaders.

For more than 337years, the world has suffered the effects of inhumanity. Man, against man. Peoples of color from everywhere, yellow, brown, red and black were branded and used by the imperial and colonial forces. Aiyeko-ooto follows the path of history, seeking redemption, reparations and reintegration. Some still claim the fallacy of superior white race. Yes! Let's go there! Do we look on, when some rhetoric of current day; remain like those of the hateful past? Is it possible for man to forgive and live together in harmony, despite our grave human errors? There are lessons to be learned from memories that ache and reasons to accommodate. In 5 movements: Our journey is short; roaming the winds; we're better than that; in swamps and marshes and on a note of laughter, Aiye-ko ooto delivers 50 pungent poems to capture the past, present and future!

Critical Moments in Executive Coaching examines the change process supported by workplace and executive coaching, making use of empirical evidence from the study of a range of real coaching conversations and coaching relationships. It is both a complete handbook that for the first time gives access to a global qualitative research base in the field of executive coaching, and a look behind the scenes into the practice of both inexperienced and experienced coaches, their clients and their commissioners. Erik de Haan allows the reader access to the wealth of Ashridge empirical research in this field to date, alongside prominent research groups around the world. This book provides practitioners with a range of suggestions for their contracts, backed up by qualitative and narrative research. It looks at what research is already telling us about the value of coaching conversations and the impact of critical ‘moments of change’ in coaching, from the perspectives of coaches, clients, stakeholders and sponsors. The detailed research findings outlined in the book are supplemented throughout by case studies and snapshots of coaching moments as well as practical advice and insights for those working in the field. The book also brings forward innovative new models and concepts for coaches which have emerged from research. Critical Moments in Executive Coaching offers an evidence and research-based approach that will be of great interest to coaches in practice and in training, students of both undergraduate and graduate coaching programmes and those who supervise and commission coaching.
