In our Western culture which focuses on individualism, it is not easy to know how to properly give and graciously receive a genuine compliment. This is frequently misunderstood and viewed as flattery. Yet there is a vacuum that God created in the human heart for altruistic affirmation, and Jesus shows us a powerful example of that. However, this God-given gift of affirmation is often counterfeited by the great deceiver. He counterfeits such affirmation which brings glory to God with false flattery which manipulates and inflates human ego.
In Christ’s Way of Affirmation you learn how to follow His example of embracing altruistic affirmation and how to shun the ulterior motives of flattery. Let Jesus guide and empower you in this needed ministry of affirmation that is an overflow of His agape love. Let Him enable you on this exciting journey to build up the body of Christ and to advance His Kingdom.
Take a look in any bookstore, whether on line or brick-and-mortar, and you will fi nd dozens, even hundreds of books on leadership. But the focus of most of these books will be on the mechanics of leading. But leadership is more than the act of leading. Leadership is about the quality of relationships and infl uence. In The Affi rmation Principle, Dr. Bernard Curtis advances the proposition that organizations can bring out the best in people and achieve extraordinary success by understanding how to lead and care for the human spirit. Dr. Curtis begins by presenting the business case for the importance of organizations to understand the benefi ts of valuing people. In part one he explores the unstated contract between employees and employers, describes what organizations must do to connect with their people, and challenges leaders to have the courage to change. In part two, he shares a new concept and model of leadership based on human-affi rming behaviors and sound humane principles. In part three, Dr. Curtis shows how leaders’ value to the organization can be measured, how they can become more accountable, and what they can do to bring out the best in their people. The Affi rmation Principle offers some keen insights into the leader-follower relationship. This book provides some new tools to help the serious leader take their leadership thinking and skills to the next level.
A small, easy-to-read book which was written especially for the many, many people that never find true happiness in life-even if they are successful, rich, powerful, or famous. Dr. Baars dedicated this book to those who are lonely, insecure and depressed, who feel worthless, inadequate, afraid of the world they must live in, and who feel unloved and unlovable. This is a book about the “miracle of affirmation” and “learning to live the affirming life”-essential concepts to understand. What is it that each person needs to be a happy, healthy person? How is each of us affirmed and how can we affirm others-so that they, too, can know their goodness and worth? An excellent introduction to Dr. Baars and Dr. Terruwe’s work.
Structured around seven emotional centers, which mirror our chakra system, Louise and Mona Lisa examine the connections between these centers and the body. Drawing on years of research, they explore probable mental causes for the physical manifestation of illness associated with each center, and then lay out how to address these health concerns. Combining two complementary systems, Louise discusses new thought patterns and offers new affirmations to counteract specific emotional weaknesses, and Mona Lisa, who has worked for many years as a medical intuitive and physician, helps readers listen to their own bodies intuition and prescribes medical solutions that are based in Western science. They provide real-world examples of people who faced illness and outline the specific emotional and physical prescriptions that helped them heal.
The Moral Life: Obligation and Affirmation examines moral thought and behavior over the centuries. In this book, Moyers carefully considers the notion of morals from different perspectives, both past and present. Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche states that everything, including morals, is a matter of interpretation. If this conclusion is justified, then even Nietzsche’s statement is an interpretation. Morals, in an absolute sense, do not fall from the sky nor do they rise to the level of unconditional rules based purely on objective reasoning. This book explores moral thought in light of Nietzsche’s declaration that ethical thinking is open to different interpretations. If everything is a matter of interpretation and morality is not written in stone, then how should we live? Is there a universal set of moral principles that can guide human thought and action? The Moral Life explores the answers to these monumental questions and ultimately proposes that morality is not reducible to universal rules one has to follow. Instead, morality may be better understood in a twofold fashion. First, morality is often a matter of obligation that imposes itself upon us. As contemporary philosopher John D. Caputo says, “Obligation happens.” It falls upon us. We can only try to respond and be responsible. However, one can resist the call of obligation. Still, the moral life consists in part as obligations to other people, to ourselves, to animals, and to the world in which we live. Second, morality is a matter of affirming life. One has the opportunity to improve oneself and as a result help others. We can try to transform ourselves according to who we wish to become. Alternatively, we may reach out to others not from a sense of obligation but from our sincere desire to help others. In short, the moral life is a responsible life where a moral person strives to lend assistance to those in need.

Dostoevsky’s philosophy of life is unfolded in this searching analysis of his five greatest works: Notes from the Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov. Predrag Cicovacki deals with a fundamental issue in Dostoevsky’s opus neglected by all of his commentators: How can we affirm life and preserve a healthy optimism in the face of an increasingly troublesome reality? This work displays the vital significance of Dostoevsky’s philosophy for understanding the human condition in the twenty-first century.
The main task of this insightful effort is to reconstruct and examine Dostoevsky’s “aesthetically” motivated affirmation of life, based on cycles of transgression and restoration. If life has no meaning, as his central figures claim, it is absurd to affirm life and pointless to live. Since Dostoevsky’s doubts concerning the meaning of life resonate so deeply in our own age of pessimism and relativism, the central question of this book, whether Dostoevsky can overcome the skepticism of his most brilliant creation, is innately relevant.
This volume includes a thorough literary analysis of Dostoevsky’s texts, yet even those who have not read all of these novels will find Cicovacki’s analysis interesting and enthralling. The reader will easily extrapolate Cicovacki’s own philosophical interpretation of Dostoevsky’s literary heritage.
