Empowering Organizations by Encouraging People

The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace

Gary Chapman

Learn how to thrive in—or escape from—a toxic work environment. Toxic organizations are rife with conflict, fear, and anger. The environment causes people to have physiological responses as if they’re in a fight-or-flight situation. Healthy people become ill. Colds, flu and stress-related illnesses such as heart attacks are more common. By contrast, in resonant organizations, people take fewer sick days and turnover is low. People smile, make jokes, talk openly and help one another." - Annie McKee (author, consultant) Many employees experience the reality of bullying bosses, poisonous people, and soul-crushing cultures on a daily basis. Rising Above a Toxic Workplace tells authentic stories from today's workers who share how they cope, change, or quit. Candidly they open up about what they learned, what they wish they had done, and how to gain resilience. Insightfully illustrating from these accounts, authors Gary Chapman, Paul White, and Harold Myra blend their combined experiences in ministry and business to deliver hope and practical guidance to those who find themselves in an unhealthy work environment. Includes a Survival Guide and Toolkit full of strategies and realistic insights

The Japanese have long regarded themselves as a homogenous nation, clearly separate from other nations. However, this long-standing view is being undermined by the present international reality of increased global population movement. This has resulted in the establishment both of significant Japanese communities outside Japan, and of large non-Japanese minorities within Japan, and has forced the Japanese to re-conceptualise their nationality in new and more flexible ways. This work provides a comprehensive overview of these issues and examines the context of immigration to and emigration from Japan. It considers the development of important Japanese overseas communities in six major cities worldwide, the experiences of immigrant communities in Japan, as well as assessing the consequences for the Japanese people's view of themselves as a nation.

Jameson Daniel McCoy (Jinty) is the latest of evolution's attempts to produce a new and viable variant of the human race. Early in life he discovers that his paranormal abilities are bounded only by his imagination, and he gradually learns to control his environment with the power of his mind. Jinty produces several inventions which help to relieve poverty (and thus loosen the grip of certain regimes on their subjects). This provokes a number of assassination attempts and the novel opens with one such attempt upon Jinty's life. Whilst exploring the solar system with his mind, Jinty encounters aliens on Pluto who are awaiting the arrival of their main fleet, intent on invasion of Earth. Jinty is faced with a dilemma: should he send the invaders back to their home planet without the people of Earth ever knowing they have been threatened, or should he give 'normal' human beings an opportunity to prove that they are not wedded irrevocably to bloody war as a solution to all territorial disputes? Jinty enlists the help of Henry Tenn, the soon-to-be British Prime Minister as he works towards the formation of a single World government. In order to force the major governments to unite, Jinty teleports four world leaders to the spaceship of True Prince, Hra Neh, leader of the alien scouting party. In a demonstration of his emerging abilities, Jinty vaporises an asteroid, warning Hra Neh that his home planet of Vahan could suffer the same fate if the intended invasion of Earth were to take place. Back on Earth, Jinty drops a bombshell: he tells the world Leaders that the whole incident with the asteroid was no more than a hoax. He then outlines a plan to oppose the alien invasion, which can only work if all the Earth is united under one government. His ploy is successful and the United Earth Government is born, under the presidency of Richard Jensen, lately president of the USA. Jinty provides devices to move a small fleet of retro-fitted nuclear submarines both into and across space, and leaves the Military to design tactics to make best use of their special capabilities, hoping that humans will not destroy the enemy without mercy. By means of Jinty's devices, following the opening exchanges of the battle, the invasion fleet is transported in an instant to their home planet of Vahan. However, the flagship, a heavily armed battleship more than a kilometre long, somehow manages to avoid the fate of the rest of the fleet, and the expedition commander, the True Prince, Hra Dinh, son of the Emperor of Vahan, proceeds to Earth intent on destruction of all of humanity. Jinty prevents the catastrophe and, in a fit of rage, Hra Dinh attacks him with a plasma weapon, resulting in the prince's death. Jinty removes the battleship, along with Hra Neh's scout force, to an orbit around their home world of Vahan and then decides to assist Hra Neh in a coup, realising that only in Hra Neh can there ever be hope of a peaceful solution. The emperor remotely detonates a nuclear weapon in his palace, with the intention of killing Hra Neh and Jinty; and in panic, Jinty teleports Hra Neh and his soldiers away from the blast, finding himself lost in the region of a neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. With little notion of the direction of home, and with air becoming stale, Jinty finally manages to replenish his oxygen from comets in the outer regions of an unknown star system and continues to search for home. Eventually Jinty brings everyone safely to Hra Neh's battleship, and to a final reckoning with the emperor, Hra the Fifteenth of Vahan and all Worlds.

Paul White takes us on a gallop through the scriptures, uncovering the many different images used to describe the Holy Spirit. In a fresh and conversational style, peppered with personal stories and the author's own illustrations, the same dynamic power of God seen throughout the Bible is shown to still be available to us today.

The awesome power of the Christing is to get the life-giving, oppression-busting, freedom-bringing life of Jesus into the whole world, starting right where we live.

Writing Across Worlds explores an extraordinary range of migration literaturesm from letters and diaries to journalistic articles, autobiographies and fiction, in order to analyse the reality of the migrant's experience. The sheer range of writings - Irish, Friulian, Italian, Jewish and South Asian British, Gastarbeiter literature from Germany, Pied noir, French-Algerian and French West Indian writing, Carribbean novels, Slovene emigrant texts, Japanese-Canadian writing, migration in American novels, narratives from Australia, South Africa, Samoa and others - illustrate the diversity of global migratory experience and emphasise the social context of literature.

THE SHA'LEE RESURRECTION The Sha'lee are a spacefaring race who have been exploring the galaxy for millennia. One of their starships lands on a wild planet, where the dominant life-forms are both gigantic and ferocious. Sha'lee ethics prevent them from slaughtering the wildlife to enable them to settle the planet, so the ship's captain decides to catalogue all the species around their landing site before moving on. Almost everyone on the ship is engaged in fieldwork when a huge meteor strikes a few hundred kilometres away. Only twenty Sha'lee within the ship survive the disaster, but the ship is entombed by mud in the tsunami which follows. The survivors enter cryogenic sleep to await rescue, but rescue never arrives. It is now the year 2028 and Phil Makeman is a geophysics expert surveying an ancient Mayan pyramid in Belize. He sees the outline of a huge egg-shaped anomaly beneath the temple foundations, so he takes the computer image to his superiors, who decide to investigate. A smooth black surface is revealed below the dinosaur extinction layer, and then the trench silently erupts, leaving boulders churning in the air above the blackness. The team report their discovery to their government contact, who informs the Prime Minister, James Hardy. Hardy deploys soldiers to secure the site, and he enlists the help of a squad of elite British soldiers who are training in the Belizean jungle. Honduran soldiers cross the long-disputed border, aiming to take control of the site, but when a missile from a Honduran helicopter impacts the exposed black surface, the ship reacts with lethal results. International scientists are invited to the site, and one of the first to arrive is John Craithie. When Craithie learns what the archaeologists have discovered, he angrily denounces it as the work of Satan and refuses to become involved. Craithie leaves the site and begins a crusade aimed at the total destruction of the starship. Over the ensuing months, Craithie's fundraising campaign gathers momentum. Meanwhile, the excavation of the ship is completed, presenting the problem of how to bypass the ship's protective shield and gain entry. The puzzle is solved when a ramp deploys beneath the starship and the humans are invited aboard. They are guided by an artificial intelligence, which has kept the ship's systems alive for 65 million years. The AI informs them that her Sha'lee comrades are in cold sleep and need help to awaken. With human assistance eighteen survivors are revived, and Phil Makeman is astonished to discover that he is sensitive to Sha'lee telepathy. John Craithie has managed to procure an obsolete Russian cruise missile, which his followers launch at the starship. Moments before impact, the AI annihilates the atomic missile using the ship's meteor defences. As the Sha'lee survivors are beginning to integrate with their rescuers, a near-Earth asteroid is in a collision in space, changing its course so that it will impact Europe. The Sha'lee commander decides to take his ship into space to nullify the threat. There is no time available, and he must train the mixed Sha'lee and human personnel on board to fly the starship with the AI's help. When they return triumphantly to Earth, all opposition to the Sha'lee has seemingly evaporated - but no one has reckoned on a final desperate act by John Craithie . . .
