![]() Free Download Generosity Rising : Lead a Stewardship Revolution in Your Church By Scott McKenzie 2016 | 86 Pages | ISBN: 1630883174 | EPUB | 1 MB With all of the books written on stewardship and all of the workshops offered; why do churches continue to struggle with questions and issues of financial giving? The answer is in the church's leadership. A revolution of generosity will only occur as pastors, financial chairs and stewardship chairs live and give witness to the importance of generosity in their personal lives and then intentionally recruit and train others to join the revolution. Leading a revolution in generosity is not about simply using the right program or reading the right book or preaching the right sermon; a revolution of generosity is about embracing, living and leading others on a journey of gratitude, prayer and faith. Generosity Rising instructs pastors on whom to recruit and how to recruit them, offering practical guidelines for training a dedicated team of "generosity revolutionaries." This book also provides daily devotionals for leaders to inspire, motivate and encourage their personal journey of gratitude, prayer and faith. ![]() Free Download Generative AI in Banking Financial Services and Insurance: A Guide to Use Cases, Approaches, and Insights by Anshul Saxena, Shalaka Verma, Jayant Mahajan English | December 2, 2024 | ISBN: 8868805588 | 356 pages | MOBI | 1.42 Mb This book explores the integration of Generative AI within the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, elucidating its implications, applications, and the future landscape of BFSI. ![]() Free Download Generative AI for Web Development: Building Web Applications Powered by OpenAI APIs and Next.js by Tom Auger, Emma Saroyan English | November 21, 2024 | ISBN: 8868808846 | 268 pages | MOBI | 8.67 Mb Explore the world of Generative AI and understand why it matters.

Bakken; Festus E. Obiakor 2016 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 1786355442 | EPUB | 1 MB This volume addresses general and special education inclusion and how the education field has changed over time. The topic of inclusion has transformed over the years from when it was first introduced and as a result of legislation, new trends, and current research investigations.

Currently, there is no comprehensive resource that effectively covers these advances with the breath of topics as this volume. This volume will address the most current perspectives and issues related to general and special education inclusion and will be written by leaders in the field with particular expertise in this area. This volume will be an excellent resource for special educators, administrators, mental health clinicians, school counsellors, and psychologists. The layout of the volume will allow readers to follow general and special education inclusion in a very logical and thoughtful process from students with high incidence disabilities to those with low incidence disabilities. ![]() Free Download General Quantum Variational Calculus (Advances in Applied Mathematics) by Svetlin G.

Mark Blackden 2006 | 172 Pages | ISBN: 0821365614 | PDF | 1 MB The papers in this volume examine the links between gender, time use, and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. They contribute to a broader definition of poverty to include time poverty, and to a broader definition of work to include household work. The papers present a conceptual framework linking both market and household work, review some of the available literature and surveys on time use in Africa, and use tools and approaches drawn from analysis of consumption-based poverty to develop the concept of a time poverty line and to examine linkages between time poverty, consumption poverty, and other dimensions of development in Africa such as education and child labor. ![]() Free Download Gender Identity and Research Relationships By Sam Hillyard; Michael R. M. Ward 2016 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 1786350262 | EPUB | 1 MB Many researchers in recent years have begun to reflect on their gender identity and how this impacts on the research process and discuss how this helps build rapport with participants and creates successful or unsuccessful pieces of qualitative research. However, how does this intersect with other forms of identity, such as class, ethnicity, disability, age, sexuality? In this volume contributors explore these issues by reflecting on their own studies and research careers and address how important or unimportant gender has been in building research relationships. While the gender identity of the respondent/researcher relationship is undoubtedly important, what must also be acknowledged are the attributes which create a good fieldworker and competent social science researchers capable of understanding and engaging in different social situations and thought interaction with different participants. ![]() Free Download Gender : The Inclusive Church Resource By Rosemary Lain-Priestley; Bob Callaghan 2014 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 0232530696 | EPUB | 1 MB There is a huge need for churches to be more inclusive - some might be more inclusive in some areas than others (both in attitude and resources), but on the whole this is a massive failing of churches.

Each book contains first-hand personal experiences of people from the marginalised group, a theological reflection by Rosemary Lain-Priestley and a resource section containing addresses, websites and practical advice on improving your church's inclusivity. ![]() Free Download Geckos & Guns: The Pakistan Years By Sharon Bazant 2021 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 1647193184 | EPUB | 1 MB Geckos & Guns: The Pakistan Years is the latest installment of Sharon Bazant's riveting travel memoirs. Following on the heels of her 2019, Nine Years in Bangkok: Lessons Learned, this new title Geckos & Guns tells of the time before Bangkok. It is a prequel that follows the first impulses of the Bazant family to break out of the mold, to leave their comfortable Canada home. With two teens in tow, they took a "hardship" posting for the United Nations in Islamabad. The book opens with Sharon and the kids joining Wayne in January 1991 and chronicles their five year stay there. Bazant brings her gift for detail to the story and paints a beautiful backdrop with her words.Where Nine Years in Bangkok is a tale of Bazant's personal soul journey, the focus of Geckos & Guns is the Bazant family's time in Pakistan-a time of adjusting to new and different surroundings, of embracing cultural differences, and of recognizing imminent danger. In the five years the Bazant family spent in Pakistan, they learned to love the temperate climate and the stark beauty of the countryside, the spicy curries and the exotic weddings, but they also learned to negotiate constant power cuts, flash floods, trips into opium country, bombings, a family emergency and more. Bazant says, "I see each one of us clearly-our 'selves' of the past. I think about our experiences, some awe-inspiring, some traumatic, and the decisions we made that forged our future paths. We were younger more optimistic versions of ourselves. Did we make mistakes? Yes. Did we take some wrong turns? Yes. Did some of this form our future selves? Yes. The big question is: Would I do things differently if given the chance? I don't know. We all did the best we could at the time." |
