Everyone is tempted to believe lies about themselves. For many pastors, the lies they're tempted to believe have to do with their identity: that God has called them to lead a movement, that they must sacrifice their home life for their ministry life, or that their image as holy is more important than their actual pursuit of holiness. In Lies Pastors Believe, pastor and professor Dayton Hartman takes aim at these and other lies he has faced in his own ministry and seen other pastors struggle with. With a winsome and engaging style, Hartman shows current and future pastors why these lies are so tempting, the damage they can do, and how they can be resisted by believing and applying the truth of the gospel.

This book is a systematic guide of fundamental concepts that, through the author's efforts, serve the primary purpose of recontextualizing the basic assumptions and definitions of logic to promote a deeper understanding of identity, cognitive sovereignty, self-efficacy, awareness, competence, purpose of existence, potential, flexibility of mind, subjective and objective perception, collective integrity, et cetera. The secondary purpose is for the reader to have the opportunity to benefit from the author's knowledge of his experiences with his enlightened master during his stay in a monastic complex in India and from his experiences after that time, to gain insight into the values, principles, and science of the Veda-agamic way of life based purely on the theme of enlightenment (nowadays simplified as Hinduism) as well as purely from the cognitive substance of its ancient scriptures. The author has endeavored to simplify the complexity of the above-mentioned issues as far as possible in order to ensure comprehensibility and effective use. Furthermore, the tertiary purpose of the content of this book is to demystify the author's so-called supernatural actual experiences, which are categorized as spiritual or purely subjective by the wider society, with pure rationality, to transcend cultural and religious disagreements and differences to grasp the core of the human collective as meaningfully as possible, and to shed a brighter light on authenticity. In this book, the pivotal point of the information to be presented is how much positive change the conscious determination of one's identity can bring about, how it is causally constructed, how this approach sets new standards and possibilities for an individual, and how it can evolve in a stable and healthy, as well as accelerated, multidimensional way. The author begins in the first chapters by introducing a "divine identity", which in this example comes from the Veda- agamic period. The author is aware that "divine identities" can be wrongly categorized as controversial ideals and psychosocial illnesses in today's world. In this regard, it is pointed out that the designation of this identity can be freely chosen and renamed or exchanged by the readers of this work. For the sake of simplicity, this identity is referred to as "the identity of the oneness" and is the actual basis on which the following concepts are built. In the following example, an entity called "Paramashiva" is included, which is synonymous with the term "identity of oneness", embodies it and helps the reader to better understand consciousness in order to manifest more consciousness. The pursuit of the cause of all causes is already the seed of super-consciousness and genius in us humans, which is in itself an independent intelligence that can be helped to blossom as long as the basic assumptions and the basic understanding of this seed are in accordance with the mode of existence of this intelligence. There is a real relationship to this intelligence, which can be consciously awakened and manifests through us individuals, insofar as we understand the trigger for the parallel universe synergy.

In the fall of 2012, quirky and cat-loving Cleveland librarian Jill Grunenwald got an alarming email from her younger sister: her sister was very concerned with Jill’s weight and her overall mental and physical health. Having always struggled with her weight, Jill was currently hitting the scales at more than three hundred pounds. Right then, Jill looked in the mirror and decided that she needed to make a life-style change, pronto. She enrolled in Weight Watchers and did something else that she—the girl who avoided gym class like the plague in high school—never thought she’d do; Jill started running. And believe it or not, it wasn’t that bad. Actually, it was kind of fun. Three months later, Jill did the previously unthinkable and ran her very first 5k at the Cleveland Metropolitan Zoo. Battling the infamous hills of the course, Jill conquered her fears and finished—but in dead last. Yep, the police were reopening the streets behind her. But Jill didn’t let that get her down—because when you run for your health and happiness, your only real competition is yourself. Six years and more than one hundred pounds lost later, Jill is still running and racing regularly, and she is a proud member of the back of the pack in every race that she has entered. In this newly updated edition Running with a Police Escort, Jill chronicles her racing adventures, proving that being a slow runner takes just as much guts and heart as being an Olympic champion. At turns heartbreaking and hilarious, Running with a Police Escort is for every runner who has never won a race but still loves the sport.
