哈佛大學一位年輕講師開設的幸福講座，引起了校園轟動。不僅修課學生激增、連學生家長也來聽講；美國重要媒體也紛紛報導這堂難得的歡迎課程。幸福是每一個人一生的追求，但什麼是幸福？幸福如果是一張拼圖，那麼要用哪些拼塊，才能完整地拼湊出全貌呢？這位博士說：「人生與商業一樣，也有盈利和虧損。具體地說，在看待自己的生命時，可以把負面情緒當作支出，把正面情緒當作收入。當正面情緒多於負面情緒，那麼我們在幸福這一『至高財富』上就盈利了。」但必須要找到哪些拼塊，好建立正面情緒的收入呢？這本書正是要全面探討最重要的一課，找齊每一個拼塊，不讓幸福有著缺失的角落。

倘若問，「如果人生只選一堂課，哪堂課會是首選？』。『幸福課』，應該是所有人的答案。是的，只有這門課程值得不分年齡、學歷、國籍的每一個人關心並勤修。

An inmate is classified as someone who has been found guilty of a crime and incarcerated. My journey has placed me on one side of the plexiglass with my son being on the other side. We collaborated together to maybe understand what the Lord was trying to show each of us. The journey included many courtrooms, jail cells, and a lot of sleepless nights for both of us. When I decided to try to reach out to my son, the Bible was the only thing that would bring us back to the relationship we had before. The topics in this book will give you a limited picture of what goes on with an inmate, but the devotions will give you a survey of the Bible and how we are all inmates because of our sins. We all must make the journey from darkness to light.

Having raised Walkers and Bluetick hounds all of my life, I have developed a set way in which to train my dogs...a way that has given me the best results with the kind of training that has turned my hounds into top big game dogs. Throughout the years...these methods have never let me down...giving me the best control of my dogs in any given situation. That''s what I strive for. It has made all the difference when the difference counts. Whenever I sell one of my Bluetick pups, I always get a barrage of questions as to how and when to start training them...what to do and when to do it...so I felt it was time to put these ideas to paper. Now a person can see what works and what doesn''t work (at least for me). These methods are universal and can apply to pets and dogs even if they don''t hunt.

This WWII naval history examines the Royal Navy’s health and fitness policies, initiatives and innovations. ‘Fittest of the fit’ was the Royal Navy’s boast about its personnel, a claim based on a strict recruitment process. This book examines the reality behind the motto through the difficult years of the Second World War. Beginning with the medical aspects of recruitment, historian Kevin Brown examines how health and fitness were maintained at sea, including in the onerous extremes of Arctic and Tropical conditions. Beyond physical health, Brown also examines the importance of psychological factors and the maintenance of morale, covering everything from entertainment to tolerance of onboard pets. Inevitably, the effects of battle, injury and stress dominated naval medicine, and wartime led to rapid changes in everything from basic preparations to protective clothing. With revealing comparisons to other British services as well as US Navy practices, Fittest of the Fit offers a unique look at life for the Royal Navy, covering submariners and airmen as well as those in the surface fleet.

This book is a reexamination of the great commission that was given by Jesus Christ. The command to go into all of the world was given to a group of Jewish believers that followed Christ. The scripture record presents the Jewish people as chosen by God. To have that distinction brought with it not only a religious divide but a natural separation. While we celebrate cultural identity, this book looks at the incredible challenge connected with identity and the response to the great commission. Jesus, being fully aware of the challenges they would face, sent these men. I believe that Jesus knew the power of the message of the Gospel. This message would not only change the world; it will change the messenger.

People have used the Bible for a variety of purposes over the course of the past two thousand years; unfortunately, many of those uses have reinforced power structures and systems that oppress and dominate those without privilege. Worst of all, people have used the Bible as a means to divide humanity into those who are worthy of salvation and those who are not. However, if we look at the lectionary readings, especially the gospels, we can see that God actively seeks to undercut and subvert systems of power, and God calls Christians to do the same. Through an examination of Jesus''s teachings, with support from a wide variety of other parts of the Bible, we can see that ideas of social justice and true liberation run throughout God''s message to humanity. Rather than focusing on who gets into heaven and who doesn''t, Jesus seeks to proclaim God''s love for all humanity. By reading the Bible this way and attempting to live up to Jesus''s call, we can seek to bring the kingdom to our world, as it is in heaven.

"You so black..." repeated over and over in Mahogany Brown''s mind like the chorus to a sad song, killing her soul, softly. "You so black..." is how the joke begins. When the joke ends, laughter, teasing and bullying follows. Not to mention getting dumped by her then boyfriend, Tafari, in favor of Malikah, the redbone goddess that all the boys worship. From that point on, Mahogany despises the dark brown skin she''s in. With her self-esteem low and her self-hatred high, Mahogany meets a charming corner thug named Makai. Mahogany''s attraction to Makai is more than just the idea of being the girlfriend of a thug that she often day-dreams about and immortalizes on her drawing pad. It''s the freedom he offers. Freedom from feeling ugly and unwanted. Freedom from being sheltered from the street life. But with freedom, comes a price. Soon, Makai''s true intentions are revealed and Mahogany has a choice to make. Will Mahogany choose Makai or her family? Her new friend, Karisma, or her morals? Will she get revenge on Malikah for stealing her man? The wrong choice can mean the end of the life as Mahogany knows it.

Pastor Kevin Brown believes that the Grace of God has to be clearly understood and rightly divided in order to get the full understanding of the Word of God. The word of God makes it clear that grace is not an excuse for a slack lifestyle, or to live a life of bondage with your own consent and thrive in the kingdom. We must understand that Grace is an empowerment from the beginning of the new life in Christ to the end of that life in this world. Grace has an ability to function in a person''s life when faith is genuine and the individual is responsive to God. Learn to lean on Him with your whole heart and trust that He has provided for your success through faith in His Son, which allows grace to be active consistently.

Horatio Nelson did not enjoy robust good health. From his childhood he was prone to many of the ailments so common in the eighteenth century, and after he joined the Navy he contracted fevers that further undermined his strength: he was even seasick whenever he first put to sea. Nevertheless, he saw more action than most officers, and was often wounded the loss of the sight in one eye and a shattered arm were the most public, but by no means his only injuries. This personal experience of sickness made him uniquely aware of the importance of health and fitness to the efficient running of a fleet, and this new book investigates Nelson''s personal contribution to improving the welfare of the men he commanded.It ranges from issues of diet, through hygiene to improved medical practices. Believing prevention was better than cure, Nelson went to great lengths to obtain fresh provisions, insisted on cleanliness in his ships, and even understood the relationship between mental and physical health, working tirelessly to keep up the morale of his men. Many other people contributed to what became a revolution in naval health but because of his heroic status Nelson''s influence was hugely significant, a role which this book reveals in detail for the first time.
