...PERSONAL PRAYER: TIMELESS SECRET OF HIGH IMPACT LEADERS ________________ A Book Review Presented to Dr. Jon Bishop Liberty Theological Seminary _____________ In partial fulfillment Of the requirements of PLED 520 __________ By John Smith, Jr. January 27, 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 Author 2 Book Summary 2 Book Critique and Evaluation 6 Personal Application 9 Resources 10 Introduction One of the most intriguing things about the Christian faith is the lack of participation that each believer exhibits in the spiritual discipline of prayer, all though they are constantly reminded that it is the pathway toward a more intimate relationship with Christ. There are a multiplicity of spiritual disciplines that the believer is expected to practice, however, the one that is most pervasive across the varied spectrum of Christianity is the spiritual discipline of prayer. Most believers are encouraged to spend vast amounts of time participating in prayer, although the average spiritual leader spends less than 15 minutes each day praying. As this writer was growing up he would consistently hear people in his home church state, “much prayer much power, little prayer little power, no prayer no power.” Author Dr. Dave Earley is currently is Chairman of the Department of Pastoral Ministries and Church Expansion at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. He also serves as Director of the Center...

...A timelss Classic When we think about what life is like today and how people are treated equally , the thought of discriminating against a person because their skin is a different color seems morally wrong. Well in 1930’s this was pretty much the normality in day to day life. To kill Mocking bird shows what is was like to live in a time when people were treated terribly because of the color of their skin. This novel also reflects the time at which it was written because in the 1960’s racism against African Americans was still a big problem. To Kill a Mocking bird is a timeless classic because it teaches readers what it was like to live in 1930’s and issues of racism, it relates to the time period it was written in , and it also still relates to issues that are present today. During the 1930’s racism was a very big issue in the south. African Americans were treated extremely un- fair and had little civil rights. They were persecuted and discriminated against because of the color of their skin and no other reason but that. Racist Americans seemed to really think that African Americans were less important and less human then white people because there skin was brown. “Despite the decline of organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan, racism was as strong as ever, especially in the Southern states” (Allen). To me this shows that the racist white American was ignorant and honestly stupid to think that a person was less important and less human because their skin...

...Public relations (PR) is the actions of a corporation, store, government, individual, etc., in promoting goodwill between itself and the public, the community, employees, customers, etc. An earlier definition of public relations, by The first World Assembly of Public Relations Associations, held in Mexico City, in August 1978, was "the art and social science of analyzing trends, predicting their consequences, counseling organizational leaders, and implementing planned programs of action, which will serve both the organization and the public interest."[1] Others define it as the practice of managing communication between an organization and its publics.[2] Public relations provides an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that provide a third-party endorsement[3] and do not direct payment.[4] Common activities include speaking at conferences, working with the media, crisis communications, social media engagement,[5] and employee communication. The European view of public relations notes that besides a relational form of interactivity there is also a reflective paradigm that is concerned with publics and the public sphere; not only with relational, which can in principle be private, but also with public consequences of organizational behaviour [6][7] A much broader view of interactive communication using the Internet, as outlined by Phillips and Young in Online Public Relations Second Edition (2009), describes the...

...Timeless Icon was a research paper about Clint Eastwood being timeless icon or Spurious Miscreant. In the beginning the author explains what movies he plaid that made him the best there was. Towards the middle of the paper is explains why he could be spurious miscreant. This is a well written research paper because of its well formatted and organized paragraphs. This paper also shows a great amount of organization within the paragraphs, proper APA citations and references, strong content, and good grammar and spelling. The paragraphs are on track with what they need to be and are very thorough. I would give this research paper for an A- because it’s a well written paper, it just needs some tweaks. It’s not a profession paper, it’s more of a “laid back” and persuasive paper. A well-organized paper should have a paragraph with one main point, not multiple. Each of these paragraphs explain one point. The introduction paragraph explained what the paragraph was going to be about, which in this case how timeless icons can change history. When the author wanted to use a long quote in the paper he did formatted to the proper way. The author changed the topic of the when he switched to talking about spurious miscreant, which he did the proper way and stayed on topic with the negatives towards him....

...Audrey J. Johnson Shakespeare Prof. Clair Berger William Shakespeare, Timeless Psychologist William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is considered the premiere playwright of the English language. His works have survived the passage of time, been studied by both young students and academic scholars, and produced many phrases still used in modern times. Shakespeare’s impact on English is so prolific, in fact, that many people quote lines without being aware they are using expressions coined by England’s favorite bard. Shakespeare wrote histories based on the British monarchs, light comedies with romantic plots and happy endings, and heavy tragedies with dark plots that ended abruptly and unhappily. The true genius of William Shakespeare, however, is in wordplay and his ability to comprehend the human condition. His works discuss such universal themes as love, ambition, jealousy, anger, despair, grief, and death – emotions common to people in all generations and still relevant today. Love is the first and strongest of human emotions. It is the glue that holds human family and relationship together; it’s the ultimate emotion. Sometimes, however, those who are perfect for one another are unable to see the compatibility of their own union. Well-matched characters Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing need a nudge in the right direction. Beatrice is sharp-tongued and has no intention of marrying because a prior relationship with rapier-witted Benedick has left her...

...Bartolome De Las Casas’s timeless human rights classic Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Explain the significance of De Las Casas’s autobiography during the colonial period? Bartolome de las casas the author was a Spanish historian as well as a social reformer. His extensive writings mainly focused on the mayhems carried out by the colonizers against the home-grown people. He had witnessed these violence first hand during the colonization and thus felt obligated to document them. Casas reports that the Spaniards once they came to the Indian villages they would torture and kill them for the gold that they might be hiding or more so force them into slavery (Felix, 2002). These people whom he referred to as “blackguards” would worse more kill pregnant women, the elderly and children by burning them alive, running them through with lances or setting brutal dogs on them. According to him he sarcastically explains that the Indians welcomed the Spaniards only to be rewarded with torture, murder slavery and to serve them. De Las Casas helps us understand the torture that the innocent souls at the island were suppressed to by the foreign kings losing so many people and more so rendering the land to wastage. What were its lessons for humanity? According to the Spaniards their aim to destroying these innocent souls were to subject the king of Spain who had passed out the command to kill and enslave. Their main aim of destroying the vast and blameless souls was to acquire...

...by Aristophanes and Plautus comprise of comedy that is both timeless and of its own time - where the comedy tends to be more suitable and applicable to its time period rather than universally speaking. When thinking of comedy of its own time – it is evident how the comedic descriptions of women and more specifically married women and the way they are presented is common across all plays by both Aristophanes and Plautus. Married women are particularly criticised whose only job is to waste the money and resources of men whilst they sit and do nothing shown with Strepsiades in The Clouds where his wife robbed him of all his money – Strepsiades states how she is “wearing my resources”. This is corroborated by Plautus’s, The Swaggering Soldier with Periplectomenus who complains how wives make you miserable and waste your money endlessly spending money - “all that sort of expense that women cost”. Again, this concept of married women stealing men’s freedom and wealth is shown in The Brothers Menaechmus where Menaechmus explains how he has provided his wife with “servants, food, clothes, jewellery and “everything she could possibly need” yet she still constantly pesters him and is never satisfied. In a humorous light the playwrights display married women as an irritation to men’s life, who do nothing whilst men slave away only for women to spend their wealth – comedy which would be more of its own time rather than timeless. Similarly, women across the plays we see women as manipulative...

...Pacific Brands: Segmentation Australian Brasserie Consumers Q1. For this case, involving some exploratory research, Exhibit 12a and 12b show the segmentation and descriptor variables used to collect data for the segmentation analysis. Comment on the appropriateness and comprehensiveness of these attributes. What would your team change in this questionnaire and what other segmentation and descriptor questions would you recommend to ask to respondents for a better segmentation and targeting strategy? 1.) The comprehensiveness and appropriateness in the data from exhibit 12a and 12b for the segmentation analysis are very accurate and on point. The questions asked in exhibit 12a, the segmentation variables, are really right to the point and they are getting as much information as possible form customers about their knowledge of fashion. Also, exhibit 12a segmentation variable questions are very helpful because they are finding out important information from the customers to help target their preferences with bras, as well as great information on how to better market for their bras. Exhibit 12b, descriptor variables, is also appropriate because it helps with targeting different segments of customers specifically. Also, this information helps to specify how to market, when/where to market, and to whom to market different information to different segments of customers. - My team would change from the questionnaire a few things that could help impact the segmentation...

...looked for in a book before starting to reading, especially for certain types of books. In fictional works, people look for the mystery, the comedy, the fantasy, the magic, the action, and of course, the romance. These genres are important factors in fictional works, they attract the reader. In nonfiction works, there are different things that are at play here, too. For nonfiction novels, they are based on true events, due to this, the author has to work harder by making his story factual but interesting. When the author is successful in combining both facts and details, the story should have a “timeless quality.” This quality allows the novel’s characters, events, and other literary qualities...

...American history is the bases for America now. We need to understand the building blocks of our world today, so we don’t make the same mistakes that we did from the past. Everyone should learn from the early settlers mistakes and not also repeat them. In politics people learn from histories mistakes so they will not get overturned and there will not be any civil wars. The role of literature in understanding the origins of American ideology is how freedom of religion, economic struggle, and the government is the same from 200 years ago to the present day. The economy 200 years ago would fluctuate from high to low just how it fluctuates now; people traded and tried anything to make a profit and sometimes the Europeans would give the Indians an unfair trade, just like how people today are capitalists in America and the bosses will do anything to increase their profits even if that gives the workers a lower wage for the same job. When people discover new things they are likely to make money off their discovery. “While the ships stayed, our allowance was somewhat bettered by a daily proportion of biscuit, which the sailers would pilfer to sell, give, or exchange with us, for money, sassafras, furs, or love” (Smith 67). Indians and Europeans are able to make profit off goods that the other group doesn’t make. Just like in our society today we buy China’s products that we don’t make and they buy ours that they don’t make. The foundation of our government elected officials is the government...
