Diamonds are precious and highly desirable. Wealthy people pay anything to own them because of their inherent quality that delights and will one day exalt them. But diamonds are the result of heavy pressure, intense heat and long periods of time. These are the three and only factors that give value to anything that can be turned into something precious. Only on that condition it will capture the heart and mind of its admirers. That admiration is the reward for the pain endured. Many do not know that diamonds are made out of common timber that over long periods of time are turned into coal and then into crystal clear, costly and brilliant gems. If put in the fire, they burn like timber and coal, which proves that they are made of carbon. Maybe you are getting the message. If you are made of "common timber," and have the potential of being turned into a precious "diamond," you will know heavy pressures and intense heat over a long period of time. Material diamonds last only a relatively short time, but spiritual "diamonds" last for eternity. The first are admired for a short time, but you will be admired for ever, if you submit to God's refining process. It is a choice with eternal results you make. Hence, choose carefully. Follow the guidelines laid out in this book and let the Divine Craftsman fulfil His dream on you. You had better believe you will have everything to gain - forever.

About the Book Rehearsing the Wonders of God (In MY Life) is a story about a poor abused girl, an unbeliever whose life changed dramatically into a life lived intentionally conscious of God's involvement in it, coupled with a deep desire to know Him more intimately. You will marvel at how ordinary Kay's life was and how extraordinary it became. You'll discover the marvelous wonders God performed to accomplish His purposes by bringing strangers together often by supernatural means. God never stops working in our lives. In the Bible (that ancient book), events are detailed in the historical ways He revealed Himself to His creation, and to help persons find their purpose in their generation, but here you will hear testimonials from a living author. The miracles are current and authentic. The story is not just a "chatty account" of Kay's adventures but is a living witness of present words and deeds of Jesus Christ living in and through her to touch others' lives and to bring tremendous blessings to her own life. What Kay experienced, you can too, for God is "no respecter of persons." About the Author Kay N. Jansen’s most treasured hobby is her almost insatiable desire to learn. She is an avid reader; she enjoys all sorts of genres, some for leisure, some for knowledge and wisdom, and also for self-help. Though reared in a poor household, Kay was blessed to live only two blocks from a public library! Book rental was free as long as the book was returned on time. She has a nice soprano singing voice and belonged to two choral groups, with whom she went twice a week to inspire and entertain the folks in nursing/rehabilitation homes. In her future, Kay looks forward to spending quality time with her six adult children, her thirteen grandkids, and her eight great-grandkids, fourteen more counting in-laws and bonus step-grandchildren. Kay is the only living member of her childhood family but will be blessed to spend eternity catching up with them. She’s earned two Master's degrees: Master of Theology in Biblical Studies and Master of Ministry in Christian Counseling, neither from which she benefitted professionally but both of which she benefits from daily as she interacts with people God sends her way!

From EverQuest to World of Warcraft, online games have evolved from the exclusive domain of computer geeks into an extraordinarily lucrative staple of the entertainment industry. People of all ages and from all walks of life now spend thousands of hours—and dollars—partaking in this popular new brand of escapism. But the line between fantasy and reality is starting to blur. Players have created virtual societies with governments and economies of their own whose currencies now trade against the dollar on eBay at rates higher than the yen. And the players who inhabit these synthetic worlds are starting to spend more time online than at their day jobs. In Synthetic Worlds, Edward Castronova offers the first comprehensive look at the online game industry, exploring its implications for business and culture alike. He starts with the players, giving us a revealing look into the everyday lives of the gamers—outlining what they do in their synthetic worlds and why. He then describes the economies inside these worlds to show how they might dramatically affect real world financial systems, from potential disruptions of markets to new business horizons. Ultimately, he explores the long-term social consequences of online games: If players can inhabit worlds that are more alluring and gratifying than reality, then how can the real world ever compete? Will a day ever come when we spend more time in these synthetic worlds than in our own? Or even more startling, will a day ever come when such questions no longer sound alarmist but instead seem obsolete? With more than ten million active players worldwide—and with Microsoft and Sony pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into video game development—online games have become too big to ignore. Synthetic Worlds spearheads our efforts to come to terms with this virtual reality and its concrete effects. “Illuminating. . . . Castronova’s analysis of the economics of fun is intriguing. Virtual-world economies are designed to make the resulting game interesting and enjoyable for their inhabitants. Many games follow a rags-to-riches storyline, for example. But how can all the players end up in the top 10%? Simple: the upwardly mobile human players need only be a subset of the world's population. An underclass of computer-controlled 'bot' citizens, meanwhile, stays poor forever. Mr. Castronova explains all this with clarity, wit, and a merciful lack of academic jargon.”—The Economist “Synthetic Worlds is a surprisingly profound book about the social, political, and economic issues arising from the emergence of vast multiplayer games on the Internet. What Castronova has realized is that these games, where players contribute considerable labor in exchange for things they value, are not merely like real economies, they are real economies, displaying inflation, fraud, Chinese sweatshops, and some surprising in-game innovations.”—Tim Harford, Chronicle of Higher Education

Do you dread going to work? Have you become so weary and depleted you can’t wait until the end of your shift? Have expanded regulations and limited resources dashed your dreams of caring for the people you serve? Have you lost the joy you once experienced in your job? If so, you are not alone. Burnout is an enormous problem for those in the helping professions. Author Dr. Alan Shelton knows the pain of burnout. He’s struggled through those dark feelings himself. As Clinical Director of the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority, Shelton now oversees a large ambulatory clinic which offers multiple services while seeing his own patients. Not long ago, however, burnout nearly sidelined him. Then a remarkable meeting with a Native Healer gave him surprising insight into his situation. Instead of resigning or changing professions, Shelton found a way to recover his passion for his work and use his new creative energy to address issues. Life Beyond Burnout traces Dr. Shelton’s journey from a depressed, hopeless, and encumbered physician to an energetic, creative, and enthusiastic caregiver. In this self-help book, Shelton shares the secrets he discovered while finding his way back. Whatever you do, if it involves helping people, you know how difficult it is to keep giving, day after day. But by rediscovering and growing your inner life, you can recover the joy and excitement you felt when you first began your career.
