Maximize the Moment: God's Action Plan For Your Life

ASIN: 0425181634 Release Date: 2001-10-09 |
Amazon.com
Maximize the Moment is a biblically-based self-help book by T.D. Jakes, a leading African-American pastor, motivational speaker, and the author of The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord. Jakes begins the book with a powerful reminder of the frailty of life, the reason that "we should maximize and prioritize our time and esteem it as precious." In a straightforward, humble style, Jakes teaches readers to reach their God-given potential in family, work, and spiritual life. His advice, in short, is to think of every moment as an opportunity for decision, and then to make decisions that are always faithful and constructive. The passages advocating freedom from fear-filled and destructive relationships are especially powerful, and well-crafted to be useful for both men and women. Maximize the Moment also has a wealth of sayings that stick in the brain without the cloying sentiment that often colors self-help books. "The wisest thing we can do," Jakes writes, "is minimize the liabilities, plan for the unexpected, enjoy the ecstasies, endure the disappointments, and then face the inevitable."Book Description
Using ageless biblical principles, Bishop T.D. Jakes teaches that every moment of every day, God provides all we need to achieve success. In Maximize the Moment, he explains how to release ourselves from damaging relationships and debilitating fears, how to face and conquer obstacles that may stand in our path to success, and how to move beyond our painful pasts.Customer Reviews:

To the Best of My Ability: The American Presidents
David Rubel Manufacturer: DK ADULT ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0789450739 |
Amazon.com
From the beginning, Americans have loved and hated their presidents, and memorialized them both for their achievements and their foibles. In this collection of essays, written by members of the prestigious Society of American Historians, we're gifted with a lively interpretive history of the 41 presidents to date with an emphasis on their dominant themes and achievements as influenced by their personalities and ideologies.With the focus on presidential style, Joseph J. Ellis examines the ironies in Thomas Jefferson's ideals and actions, as well as his inveterate shyness (imagine a modern-day president who only spoke at his inauguration and presented all legislative proposals in writing). Robert Dallek discusses Lyndon B. Johnson's contradictions as evidenced in his significant domestic achievements and the terrible failure of the Vietnam War. And in the pieces on also-rans like Grant and Coolidge and the disgraced such as Nixon, these historians often use the benefit of hindsight and scholarship to focus on the more redeeming features of each man. The most recent president covered does not get off so lightly, however, as Evan Thomas devotes an inordinate amount of space to Bill Clinton's philandering and slams him with such adjectives as "calculating, shrewd and slovenly."
The book is packed with photographs, illustrations, inaugural addresses, and memorable quotes ("When Theodore attends a wedding, he wants to be the bride, and when he attends a funeral, he wants to be the corpse"). A light sense of humor is even displayed, as in a photograph of William Howard Taft's mammoth bathtub, specially built after the 355-pound man got stuck in an ordinary tub, and the story of the Kennedy-Nixon campaign captured in two campaign photos--one of a sexy, bare-chested JFK in his PT-109 and the other of a stiff Nixon in his Navy dress blues. It's also a treasure trove of presidential trivia--which presidents proposed to their wives on the first date? Who were the only three vice presidents to be successfully promoted by election? This is a terrific reference book--an informative, revealing, and fun way to learn about America's chosen few. --Lesley Reed
Book Description
America's most respected historians offer thoughtful, authoritative profiles of the nation's forty-one chief executives.Every generation of historians reviews and revises the work of its predecessors. With this book, the best historical writers of today's generation undertake such a task. Displaying wit and narrative flair, their elegant essays offer a fresh perspective on the most fascinating group of Americans: the American presidents. Who better to write a new assessment of the presidents than the most respected (and best-selling) historians of our time? In To the Best of My Ability: The American Presidents, members of the prestigious Society of American Historians deliver engaging, thoughtful analyses of the forty-one men who have led this country- some, of course, more successfully than others. In this copiously illustrated volume, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James M. McPherson, you will learn from Gordon S. Wood how George Washington, an extraordinary man, made it possible for ordinary men to govern; from Allen Weinstein how Theodore Roosevelt tested and extended the limits of the presidency; from Tom Wicker how Richard Nixon's hatreds and insecurities gripped him ever more tightly as he achieved his long-sought goal of power; and from Evan Thomas how much Bill Clinton cares about his place in the new presidential pecking order.

Project Censored Gets Back on Track.......2003-01-31
The control of most of the US media by a shrinking number of huge multinational corporations continues to be a very serious problem. This can be seen in this years preponderance of censored stories that involve corporate wrongdoing and corruption. You dont get these stories in the mainstream media because they will damage the profitability for shareholders in those controlling corporations. Another dangerously recurring theme this year is the harsh effects of globalization on sovereign nations and disadvantaged peoples, and the medias pathological disdain for globalizations opponents. There is mounting evidence that nobody benefits from globalization, NAFTA, or the WTO but corporations and their largest shareholders. But in the corporate media you wont hear this. Thats why the Project Censored analysis of these trends is so important.
This edition delivers strong treatments of these dire trends in the corporate-controlled media and offers in-depth coverage of these worthy but under-reported stories. There are also several supporting essays by media analysts and watchdogs that are fascinating in their own right. The only glitches in this book are two particular essays that detract from the analytical nature of the rest of the book and drift into self-serving opinions. These are "Power Sources" by Ina Howard, a mind-numbing and predictable parade of statistics with few big-picture conclusions; and "Truth About Afghan Casualties..." by Marc W. Herold, which contains useful information but an annoying amount of self-aggrandizement and a debunking of the author's opponents that seems like more of a personal crusade than a quest for the truth. Fortunately, overall this edition of the great Project Censored series achieves its goals in bringing tragically hidden and extremely important stories the attention they deserve.
All I know is that I didn't know........2003-01-22
A great book!.......2002-12-10
Also, worth at least the price of the book itself, the last 65 pages are listings of additional resources ... organizations, publications, web sites ... hundreds of places to find additional independent (ie- not corporate sponsored) views on the world.
BTW, contrary to the previous review, I contacted Seven Stories press, and they informed me that this book at amazon and the book available at their site are identical... amazon is apparently just a little slow to update their description/cover photo.
Great Book....But The Censored Book is Censored!!.......2002-11-12
This book reviews many of the most important stories censored from out Corporate$$$$ Media Cartel Propaganda Press. If you are reading this you undoubtedly know that the fast fading reputation of the press as free is FICTION. It is pro-corporate, anti-worker, anti-middle class and anti-poor tripe. There is a small problem with this "version" of the Censored 2003 book however. It is censored. It leaves out the 20 page article on the 1001 Problems of the 9/11 Fable as I term it. Major problems with America's 9/11 Reichstag. I suggest that you buy the uncensored version (different cover even and different number of pages) directly from Seven Stories Press. Do a search for them on the Internet. I hope that amazon.com will not censor this review as I am trying to help Americans get the truth or they will leave my review until they obtain the uncensored version. Pretty sad state of affairs when the ruling Junta censors a "Censored" book. Sick state of affairs acutally. I also recommend that you read up on Vote Fraud. The chickens are not voting for Colonel Sanders despite what the Corrupted Press tells you. Check out ...the book Censored 2001 for vote fraud.
