Is it possible to have a relationship with someone you cannot see? If you can't see God in Heaven, Jesus the One and Only Son, and the Holy Spirit who came to indwell Christ followers after Jesus died on the Cross to be raised again on the Third Day, how do you get to know the Trinity? How do you become one with them?The best way is through studying Scripture. And when in the Word, asking the Lord and Savior to come into your life as you give your life to Him.

Many subject matter experts are just that, subject matter experts not experts in the art of teaching, facilitating, or designing. Thousands of authors, trainers, and speakers have great content, but they lack the skills required to convey their content in a way that inspires learners to unleash their brilliance and move the learning to practice.. They often spend 70% of their time on WHAT they are going to teach, and 30% of their time on HOW, when they should be spending 30% on WHAT, and 70% on HOW. Their instructional techniques often are at odds with their message of inclusivity, eagerness for people to learn, and hopes that their content will change lives and organizations. Brilliance by Design outlines how to design learning interactions (such as meetings and workshops) that enable people to do their best thinking. Using the tested, signature ENGAGE model, it helps anyone who brings people together for the purpose of learning, problem-solving, or innovating to develop a clear, high-impact training design that unleashes brilliance. It presents a model that enables teachers to analyze learner and teacher needs, create objectives that meet those needs, and incorporate interactive tools that "fire `em up," ensuring all key outcomes are met. To help readers unleash the brilliance in others, this book provides the structure, tools, language, and models needed to create optimal learning experiences from their ideas, practices, models and books. In learning these techniques, readers will achieve powerful outcomes, building communities of learners who share best practices and communicate at a deep and profound level while doing real work.

Only 39 percent of projects today are successful. Nearly half of the projects that fail, fail because of "poor requirements management" (PMI 2014). Leveraging Business Analysis for Project Success explores the role of the business analyst in setting a project up for success. It informs and educates project managers, sponsors, and organization leaders on what is necessary for project success. This book goes beyond requirements management in exploring the how the business analyst can contribute to increased proi tability through project selection, scope dei nition, and post-implementation evaluation. The reader will learn about the history of business analysis, professional organizations and resources to support the profession, and what to expect from the business analyst at each phase of the project lifecycle as presented in a case study throughout the text. Project leaders will better be able to support the business analysis needs of the project by understanding the skills, expertise, tasks, resources, and time needed to do business analysis right and maximize the return on investment for each project.
First-time author Vicki Leigh Kuracka was inspired to write When the Sun Sleeps by the antics of her three-year-old son. This proud mother says she is daily astounded by the new and interesting things her child does, so she wanted to share their experiences with others. "It was based on a conversation I had with my three-year-old one evening. Toddlers view the world so simply and when they ask you a question, you have to try to explain it to them in a way they can understand, which may lead to a few tall tales." This busy mother finds the best time to write is in the wee hours of the morning. She is most inspired to write around 3 a.m. when the house is quiet. Kuracka wrote When the Sun Sleeps in the very hours when her son sleeps. Author Vicki Leigh Kuracka was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and now lives in Brandon, Florida, with her husband and son. She is the director of special events and promotions at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa. She has already started to write her next children's book.

The scholarship on Martin Luther King Jr. has too often cast him in the image of the Southern black preacher and the American Gandhi, while ignoring or trivializing his global connections and significance. This groundbreaking work, written by scholars, religious leaders, and activists of different backgrounds, addresses this glaring pattern of neglect in King studies. King is treated here as both a global figure and a forerunner of much of what is currently associated with contemporary globalization theory and praxis. The contributors to this volume agree that King must be understood not only as a thinker, visionary, and social change agent in his own historical context, but also in terms of his meaning for the different generations who still appeal to him as an authority, inspiration, and model of exemplary service to humanity. The task of engaging King both in context and beyond context is fulfilled in remarkable ways in this volume, without doing essential violence to this phenomenal figure. "I have personally been to Martin Luther King Jr.'s memorial in Memphis, Tennessee, and have felt inspired by his example of sacrifice and conviction. I welcome this very insightful new book that introduces readers to him, while also highlighting his strategic nonviolence as a pathway to much-needed global peace. There is much here that is consistent with Gandhi's principle of ahimsa. This is a comprehensive exploration of Dr. King's meaning for the world." --His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Spiritual Leader of the Tibetan People "We have taken for granted Martin Luther King Jr. as a 'world citizen, ' but have spoken about this in vague, generalized terms. This magnificent volume puts an end to such vagueness. Baldwin and Dekar have, through the thoughtful reflections and powerful testimonies of scholars from across the world, brought into sharp relief a King concerned about the world, helping to shape it in ways we never truly understood." --Allan Aubrey Boesak, Distinguished Desmond Tutu Visiting Professor of Ecumenical Theology and Prophetic Preaching, Christian Theological Seminary "Anybody concerned about the economic, social, and gender inequalities anywhere in the world will benefit from the vision and the transformational impact of Martin Luther King Jr.'s exemplary leadership, which is carefully analyzed in this book by a diverse group of scholars, religious leaders, and activists." --Peter J. Paris, Professor Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary "Here is Martin Luther King Jr. as a global visionary deeply rooted in the promise and limitations of his time and place. These international, transreligious, and multidisciplinary writers expose Dr. King's influence at work in places and around issues that he himself knew little or nothing about. They sort out King's genius of mind and spirit to engage the evils and the promise of globalization." --George Williamson, Civil Rights Activist and Founding President, Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America Lewis V. Baldwin is Professor of Religious Studies at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. He is the author of To Make the Wounded Whole: The Cultural Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. (1992) and The Voice of Conscience: The Church in the Mind of Martin Luther King, Jr. (2010). Paul R. Dekar is Professor Emeritus of Evangelism and Missions, Memphis Theological Seminary, Memphis, Tennessee, and is the author of Creating the Beloved Community: A Journey with the Fellowship of Reconciliation (2005) and Thomas Merton: Twentieth-Century Wisdom for Twenty-First-Century Living (2011).
