Effective leadership is always a critical need in the church. Current and aspiring church leaders need models to emulate, and no source of leadership models can surpass the Bible. The Word of God presents us with numerous examples of great leaders, especially in the Old Testament, and one of the greatest of these is David, the second and greatest king of Israel. In this short, plainspoken book, Dr. Michael C. Walker examines nine episodes from David's life and draws from them powerful leadership lessons that are just as relevant in our times today as they were 3000 years ago. In these nine brief chapters, Dr. Michael shows us David at his very best and his very worst, from his triumph as a youth over a literal "giant" of a challenge, to his most colossal and egregious failure as a middle-aged king -- and everything in between. What emerges is an inspiring picture of a man of great strengths -- and great weaknesses -- but who also possessed a passionate heart for God. Learn from the life of David how to be a better leader and a person After God's Own Heart.

These delightful melodies were originally composed for the Gallichone - a six-string instrument similar to the guitar which have now been arranged for the first time for the baritone ukulele. The music is intended for intermediate to advanced performers but there are many pieces here that can be mastered by a well-practiced beginer. Please enjoy

This book offers a new way of thinking about film endings. Whereas existing works on the subject concentrate on narrative resolution, this book explores the way film endings blend together a complex of motifs, tropes and other elements to create the sense of an ending­—that is, it looks at ‘endings as endings’. Drawing on a wide range of examples taken from films of different periods and national cinemas, the author identifies three key features which structure the work: thresholds and boundaries, water, and, above all, the beach. The beach combines water and a boundary and is the most resonant of the key sites to which film endings gravitate. Although beach endings go back to at least 1910, they have increased markedly in post-classical cinema, and can be found across all genres and in films from many different countries. As the leading example of the book’s argument, they illustrate both the aesthetic richness and the structural complexity of film endings.

This book shows you tools and techniques that you can apply to clean and handle data with Python. You'll begin by getting familiar with the shape of data by using practices that can be deployed routinely with most data sources. Then, the book teaches you how to manipulate data to get it into a useful form. You'll also learn how to filter and summarize data to gain insights and better understand what makes sense and what does not, along with discovering how to operate on data to address the issues you've identified. Moving on, you'll perform key tasks, such as handling missing values, validating errors, removing duplicate data, monitoring high volumes of data, and handling outliers and invalid dates. Next, you'll cover recipes on using supervised learning and Naive Bayes analysis to identify unexpected values and classification errors, and generate visualizations for exploratory data analysis (EDA) to visualize unexpected values. Finally, you'll build functions and classes that you can reuse without modification when you have new data. By the end of this Python book, you'll be equipped with all the key skills that you need to clean data and diagnose problems within it.What you will learnFind out how to read and analyze data from a variety of sourcesProduce summaries of the attributes of data frames, columns, and rowsFilter data and select columns of interest that satisfy given criteriaAddress messy data issues, including working with dates and missing valuesImprove your productivity in Python pandas by using method chainingUse visualizations to gain additional insights and identify potential data issuesEnhance your ability to learn what is going on in your dataBuild user-defined functions and classes to automate data cleaningWho this book is forThis book is for anyone looking for ways to handle messy, duplicate, and poor data using different Python tools and techniques.
