Bøger af Thomas Kelly

Since its first publication in 1941, A Testament of Devotion, by the renowned Quaker teacher Thomas Kelly, has been universally embraced as a truly enduring spiritual classic. Plainspoken and deeply inspirational, it gathers together five compelling essays that urge us to center our lives on God''s presence, to find quiet and stillness within modern life, and to discover the deeply satisfying and lasting peace of the inner spiritual journey. As relevant today as it was a half-century ago, A Testament of Devotion is the ideal companion to that highest of all human arts-the lifelong conversation between God and his creatures.I have in mind something deeper than the simplification of our external programs, our absurdly crowded calendars of appointments through which so many pantingly and frantically gasp. These do become simplified in holy obedience, and the poise and peace we have been missing can really be found. But there is a deeper, an internal simplification of the whole of one''s personality, stilled, tranquil, in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity''s whisper, walking with a smile into the dark."

Being a Team Sergeant is the most rewarding and challenging position in the Regiment. According to Special Forces legend and Medal of Honor recipient Robert Howard, teamwork is the most important aspect of any small unit. Creating and maintaining the can-do, positive, mission-focused atmosphere of teamwork is a challenge. To do the very best job he can, a Team Sergeant has to understand he's the cog of the wheel, the grease of the skid, the gasket of the engine; whatever analogy you choose. Such analogies underscore the fact that it's the Team Sergeant who is to hold the Team together, managing its work, and focusing its efforts. This is the single best publication written on what it means to be a Team Sergeant. This book will help the leader navigate his time in the seat by helping him prepare for the overwhelming amount of responsibility that comes with the position.
