How to Be a Gentleman Revised and Updated

Being a gentleman isn’t just being a nice guy, or a considerate guy, or the type of guy someone might take home to meet their mother. A gentleman realizes that he has the unique opportunity to distinguish himself from the rest of the crowd. He knows when an email is appropriate, and when nothing less than a handwritten note will do. He knows how to dress on the golf course, in church, and at a party. He knows how to breeze through an airport without the slightest fumble of his carry-on or boarding pass. And those conversational icebreakers—“Where do I know you from?” A gentleman knows better. Gentlemanliness is all in the details, and John Bridges is reclaiming the idea that men—gentlemen—can be extraordinary in every facet of their lives.

Exalting Jesus in John

Exalting Jesus in John is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary. The author of Exalting Jesus in John is Matt Carter and Josh Wredberg. “The balance of biblical accuracy, clear outlines, captivating illustrations, and life-changing applications make this commentary a must-have addition to the library of every pastor and everyone else who wants to understand and apply the Gospel of John.” Stephen Davey , Th.M., D.D., senior pastor, Colonial Baptist Church, Cary, North Carolina; president, Shepherds Theological Seminary, Cary, North Carolina “Matt and Joshua provide an excellent resource on John's Gospel. With a clear outline of content, a concise purpose for writing, and a faithful handling of the text as it points to Jesus, the authors give the reader a valuable resource for study and preaching. They herald a clear message to remind the reader, ‘The gospel is the good news that you no longer have to wander about in the darkness and despair of sin, but you can enjoy the light of righteousness through Jesus Christ’ (p. 27). I commend this commentary as it will prove beneficial for many, for years to come.” Lane Harrison , D.Min., lead pastor, LifePoint Church, Ozark, Missouri “The Gospel of John has no shortage of commentaries, raising the obvious question: what sets this one apart from all the others? The unique contribution of Matt Carter's work is rooted in his personal profile. Carter is both a highly successful church planter and long-tenured pastor who has built and led a large church through text-driven preaching. A church holding forth the truth in the heart of one of the most socially liberal cities in the country. A church that has multiplied itself many times over through planting new churches in their own city and in some of the most difficult countries on the planet. As a trustworthy, twenty-first-century pastor-theologian, Carter has not only produced a commentary, but a sermon and bible study starter for preachers and teachers seeking to accurately interpret and prophetically apply the Word of God to this radically changing culture.” Nathan Lino, senior pastor, Northeast Houston Baptist Church; president, Southern Baptists of Texas Convention “This commentary on John is incredibly practical. Written from a pastor's heart, it provides both deep theological insight and practical application. Both ministers of the gospel and people in the pew need this work!” Jerry McCorkle , executive director, SpreadTruth Ministries, Bloomington, Illinois “As a pastor for more than twenty-one years, I appreciate a commentary that stands on solid scholarship while at the same time fitting comfortably in the pulpit. Any pastor, teacher, or small group leader will be able to open this book and find a Christ-centered resource at their fingertips which will enhance their preaching or teaching ministry. In fact, any believer reading this Christ-centered exposition will find themselves learning more about the Lord Jesus Christ and His place in Scripture. The Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series seeks to exalt Jesus. This volume succeeds in meeting that goal!” Eric Peacock , D.Min., senior pastor, Westchester Baptist Church, High Point, North Carolina “As the church navigates an age of profound confusion and doubt, the Gospel of John serves as an immoveable anchor. This commentary is an invaluable tool for believers in understanding and applying God’s Word to our lives as we combat the litany of competing worldviews that surround us. This work remains faithful to the timeless truth of Scripture while challenging contemporary issues in a thoughtful manner. Believers will be well-served by using this book to supplement their efforts to delight in God’s Word and to live by faith in Jesus, the Savior of the world.” Kevin Peck, lead pastor, The Austin Stone Community Church, Austin, Texas “John said the purpose of his Gospel was ‘ so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name ’ (20:31). This volume is a literary GPS in helping us arrive at that place. Carter and Wredberg wed exegetical integrity with sermonic beauty, and they combine historical accuracy with contemporary relevance, all to show us Jesus. Pastors, teachers, and all who love the Bible and its Christ will be helped greatly by this work.” Jim Shaddix , Ph.D., D.Min., W. A. Criswell Professor of Expository Preaching, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina “Josh and Matt have given us a gospel-fueled treatment of John. You will discover, as I have, that this volume exposes areas you thought you had conquered. Worship your way through this exposition by these two Christ–Centered Ninjas.” Kyle Shearin , D.Min., pastor of preaching and vision, Faith Family Church, Oak Grove, Kentucky

The 4-Hour Body Summary

by Timothy Ferriss - An Incredible Summary - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat Loss, Incredible Sex and Becoming Superhuman. Timothy (Tim) Ferriss is a human guinea pig and an advocate of the quantified-self movement. He uses every metric possible to measure his performance, his blood test results, his hormones, his sleep, his heart rate. His research has led him to publish this book, The 4-Hour body . Tim Ferriss suggests various solutions to the ‘calorie in calorie out’ problem and to help cope up with the effects of overeating. He says that with his diet, instead of gaining weight, you can get rid of fat. It includes a diet of garlic, grape fruit juice, tea extracts and cheesecake, among other foods. Tim says that most diet and exercise rules are often bendable or even outright wrong. The 4-Hour Body suggests several guidelines to bend these rules and still maintain a perfect body. Tim Ferriss has tested his out-of-the-box techniques to lose fat, gain muscle, live healthier, live longer, run faster, jump higher and much more. The book was compiled by researching the results of studies from over 100 PhDs, as well as input from athletes and trainers. Tim offers a shortcut to minimize the waiting process and avoid the often decade-long process of research reaching the common man. It is like a sneak peek into the future and the possibilities are immense, but one will have to have faith in the unconventional wisdom that this book puts forth. Pareto’s distribution is an important concept to keep in mind while going through this book. Vilfredo Pareto said that to get 80% of the results, you have to put in 20% of the effort. And to get the last 20% of the results, you have to invest the last 80% of the effort. Tim says that it is probably more like a 95/03 principle where by putting the right 3% of work, you can get 95% of results. The 4-Hour body is about that 3% of work that is needed to improve your body. He also encourages readers to pick and choose which chapters are most beneficial for them to get the desired results. Here is a Preview of what you will get: A Full Book Summary An Analysis Fun quizzes Quiz Answers Etc

A Guy's Guide to Grilling

ABOUT THE BOOK It's a popular American suburban myth that men are born knowing how to grill. In popular culture such as novels and television, men are always shown standing around the barbecue grill, while women are usually in the kitchen whipping up the side dishes. If a man's worth is measured by his skill at cooking a steak over a flame, many men have a secret inadequacy that they'll share with few people. The truth is, no one is born knowing how to grill. If a guy wants to be an expert at backyard cooking, he's got to learn just like with any other skill. Grilling is much more than slapping a steak over a fire and letting it brown. In order to be a grill expert, you must learn about a variety of culinary subjects, from equipment to cooking techniques. You can begin by specializing in one type of dish, as many men do with their steak expertise, but every topic you master adds to your skill quotient. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Charcoal grills give grill masters much more leeway when it comes to flavor and effect. Food automatically gets a smoky flavor when cooked over coals; indeed, you can even use a charcoal grill as a smoker. Almost anyone can afford at least a small charcoal grill. Small hibachi grills and beginning backyard grills can be had for around $20, although elaborate setups can run into the hundreds of dollars. Far from being a gas grill's poor cousin, charcoal is a legitimate alternative with fans who will never convert. Other Important Grilling Tools Once you have your grill in the yard, it's time to collect the rest of the tools you'll need for successfully becoming a grill master. While you can find most of the equipment you need for grilling in your kitchen drawers, there are a few tools you will have to purchase specifically for backyard cooking...

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry

This book contains the complete work of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft, and Master-mason's Degrees, along with their ceremonies, lectures, etc. It has doubtless been a matter of comment and surprise among the Members of the Fraternity that all the books which are avowedly intended to serve as guides to the Work of a Lodge invariably contain more or less than their professed object demands. They are usually deficient in the very points that may be most needed, rendering the use of a separate Monitor unavoidable; while, on the other hand, they include a great deal of information on matters with which every Mason is necessarily perfectly familiar, and which it is neither needful nor desirable to be communicated to the uninitiated. It has been the aim of the compiler of this little volume to avoid both these defects: first, by omitting all passwords, grips, and other esoteric subjects; and second, by giving the work of the first three degrees monitorially as well as ritually complete, in plain language for ready reference, and entirely free from the tedious perplexities of cypher or other arbitrary and unintelligible contractions.

The Voynich Manuscript

This ebook is the complete reproduction of the preserved Voynich Manuscript, formatted for high resolution color ebook reader displays. The Voynich manuscript, also known as "the world's most mysterious manuscript", is a work which dates to the early 15th century, possibly from northern Italy. It is named after the book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in 1912. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the time period, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. However, most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown and unreadable. Possibly some form of encrypted ciphertext, the Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both World War I and World War II. As yet, it has defied all decipherment attempts, becoming a cause célèbre of historical cryptology. The mystery surrounding it has excited the popular imagination, making the manuscript a subject of both fanciful theories and novels. None of the many speculative solutions proposed over the last hundred years has yet been independently verified. Illustrations: The illustrations of the manuscript shed little light on the precise nature of its text but imply that the book consists of six "sections", with different styles and subject matter. Except for the last section, which contains only text, almost every page contains at least one illustration. Following are the sections and their conventional names: Herbal: Each page displays one plant (sometimes two) and a few paragraphs of text—a format typical of European herbals of the time. Some parts of these drawings are larger and cleaner copies of sketches seen in the "pharmaceutical" section. None of the plants depicted is unambiguously identifiable. Astronomical: Contains circular diagrams, some of them with suns, moons, and stars, suggestive of astronomy or astrology. One series of 12 diagrams depicts conventional symbols for the zodiacal constellations (two fish for Pisces, a bull for Taurus, a hunter with crossbow for Sagittarius, etc.). Each of these has 30 female figures arranged in two or more concentric bands. Most of the females are at least partly naked, and each holds what appears to be a labeled star or is shown with the star attached by what could be a tether or cord of some kind to either arm. The last two pages of this section (Aquarius and Capricornus, roughly January and February) were lost, while Aries and Taurus are split into four paired diagrams with 15 women and 15 stars each. Some of these diagrams are on fold-out pages. Biological: A dense continuous text interspersed with figures, mostly showing small naked women, some wearing crowns, bathing in pools or tubs connected by an elaborate network of pipes, some of them strongly reminiscent of body organs. Cosmological: More circular diagrams, but of an obscure nature. This section also has foldouts; one of them spans six pages and contains a map or diagram, with nine "islands" or "rosettes" connected by "causeways" and containing castles, as well as what may possibly be a volcano. Pharmaceutical: Many labeled drawings of isolated plant parts (roots, leaves, etc.); objects resembling apothecary jars, ranging in style from the mundane to the fantastical; and a few text paragraphs. Recipes: Many short paragraphs, each marked with a flower- or star-like "bullet".

Atomic Habits - Summarized for Busy People: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones Summary James Clear Book

Atomic Habits | An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones | A Comprehensive Summary Hired as the performance director of professional cycling for England in 2003, Dave Brailsford had his work cut out for him. For the previous century, British cyclists performed terribly, winning only one gold medal and never winning the Tour de France. Brailsford had a plan to turn around British cycling. He called his strategy ‚ the aggregation of marginal gains . This involves deconstructing every aspect of riding a bike, and then consistently improving each aspect by 1%. Over time, these small changes compound into incredible performance outcomes. Brailsford implemented hundreds of small improvements, both obvious (e.g. equipping better bike seats) and non-obvious (finding the best pillow and mattress so the cyclists had optimal sleep). The results were extreme. British cyclists won 66 Olympic/Paralympic gold medals, 5 Tour de France races, and set numerous world records in the decade after Brailsford began. The image to the right shows the results of both improving and regressing by 1% every day. Over the course of a week the changes are small, but over the course of a year the changes are massive. Over a short period of time, the effects of compounding are barely noticeable. But over longer periods of time, compounding will generate very powerful outcomes. While many of us over-weight the importance of grand, singular moments, we also under-weight tiny changes, the 1% improvements, that occur day to day. The slow rate of change makes it difficult for us to see what transformation is underway. Habits are a double-edged sword and can accelerate either growth or deterioration. Success or failure in any area of your life is merely a lagging indicator of the quality of your daily habits. Here’s another way of thinking about enormity of compound interest on tiny 1% improvements – If you regress 1% a day for an entire year, it’s the equivalent of going from the height of a one story house (10 feet tall) to the height of a large apple (3 inches tall). Habits often behave the same way as melting ice- you see no new result until you break through a certain point. This means tangible results of a new habit are delayed early on. This effort isn’t wasted, it is stored (hence the term “latent”).

The Feminine Mystique

“If you’ve never read it, read it now.”—Arianna Huffington, O, The Oprah Magazine Landmark, groundbreaking, classic—these adjectives barely do justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine Mystique. Published in 1963, it gave a pitch-perfect description of “the problem that has no name”: the insidious beliefs and institutions that undermined women’s confidence in their intellectual capabilities and kept them in the home. Writing in a time when the average woman first married in her teens and 60 percent of women students dropped out of college to marry, Betty Friedan captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a generation and showed women how they could reclaim their lives. Part social chronicle, part manifesto, The Feminine Mystique is filled with fascinating anecdotes and interviews as well as insights that continue to inspire.
