Many people often wish they could start over and begin a new career, but think they don't have the time, opportunity, or the courage to do so. Michael Lyons not only takes us along his journey of change, but shares some of the techniques and skills that proved valuable in pursuing his dream of becoming a chef. By employing industry-tested techniques he learned as a professional "Big Six" consultant, Michael was able to chase his dream in a calculated and methodical way. But make no mistake. Change is not easy and obstacles occur along the way, testing our resolve and determination. But for Michael, and for many of us, the end result of such personal journeys is satisfaction and achievements beyond our own expectations. Whether you've always wondered what life is like as a chef, or you're just interested in knowing what it takes to make a life change and succeed, "A Cook at Heart" provides a fun, humorous and insightful look into personal transformation.

The Salvation Army has now been around for more than one hundred and fifty years, having celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2015 with an International Congress in London. Over the years both the Army and the world in which it appeared have changed beyond recognition. This is a good time for the movement to stop and look back—not just to celebrate, but to see where it is today. The Army has not evolved in isolation from the world. Bringing its own history with it, it nevertheless belongs to the twenty-first century world as much as William Booth’s little East End Mission belonged to nineteenth-century London. This book attempts to explore the interaction between mission and world as it has impacted the Army’s beliefs and practices as well as the place it now occupies in the wider world. This critical and analytical study may also be of interest to those beyond the Army’s ranks who would like to learn more about this remarkable organization.

'Save Us to Serve You' is about the fact that Saviours of their fellow humans start off as the servant of their fellow men and end up as the masters of the same group of people. This means that they practice the principle of the way up is down and sowing soothing service to reap resounding service from your beneficiaries. Therefore, helpers help others earlier to help themselves later or givers get greater return. Jesus affirmed this when He said whoever wants to be the master over others must start with serving the wellbeing of the people. Jesus meant that people like to serve any individual who makes their wellbeing his highest priority.

A practical, biblical resource designed to help all Christians grow up into the fullness of Christ, this book provides a foundation for those who come into the local church having never been taught about the essentials of Christianity. (Christian Living)
