Considerations
Colin Wright - 2014
We act according to data acquired by viewing the world from a single perspective: our own. As a result, we don’t always think to ask certain questions that, when answered, may benefit us greatly. We don’t do important things because we never think them worth doing. We don’t assess unfamiliar facets of life, even though such scrutiny might change everything about how we live. A well-curated collection of perspectives is one of the most valuable assets a person can possess, and the ability to filter those perspectives — to figure out which of them has value for us as individuals, and which are not relevant to our unique beliefs and goals — is vital. Considerations is about asking questions, attaining new perspectives, figuring out what you believe, and determining how these beliefs can help guide your actions. The book is formatted as a series of over fifty short essays which are intended to spark ideas, questions, and thoughtfulness in those who read them
The Lost Message of Paul
Steve Chalke - 2019
We need to begin with the ideas that informed Paul’s worldview and culture. Our goal is simple – to see things the way he saw them rather than the way we see them.· What if the whole idea of ‘original sin’ was never part of Paul’s thinking at all? · What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther so strongly argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul’s words, and even more seriously on a misunderstanding of Paul’s thinking? Was Luther – and Calvin who followed him – simply terribly wrong?‘The tragedy,’ writes Steve Chalke, ‘is that over the centuries the Church has time and again failed to communicate, or even to understand, the core of Paul’s message. Although Paul has often been presented as the champion of exclusion, he was the very opposite. He was the great includer; a revolutionary who saw a new inclusive world dawning and gave his life to help bring it in.’ Steve Chalke MBE is a Baptist minister, founder and leader of the Oasis Charitable Trust, and author of more than 50 books.

Learn how to apply the main ideas and principles from the original book in a quick, easy read! For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, prosperous life. Well, Mark Manson is here to tell us otherwise. In his #1 New York Times Bestselling book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Manson argues that the constant quest for positivity and abundance is actually more harmful than beneficial. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck isn’t about being indifferent – it’s about being comfortable with being different. It’s about the willingness to acknowledge our limitations, to suffer through our pains and fears, to accept responsibility for our problems, and to stand up for what we believe in no matter what. It’s about developing the ability to overcome failure and adversity, the ability to say, “Fuck it,” not to everything in life, but to everything unimportant in life. This summary highlights the key ideas and captures the most important lessons found in the original book. If you’ve already read the original, this summary will serve as a reminder of main ideas and key concepts. If you haven’t done so yet, don’t worry - here you will find every bit of practical information that you can apply.
