Book excerpt: ____________________________ Why can some people effortlessly command the attention of everyone in the room? What makes some individuals seem immediately credible and others appear inherently untrustworthy? And how is it that precisely the same idea can be enthusiastically embraced or roundly rejected depending on who has put it forward? When we talk to others, we assume that they are carefully weighing our words and arguments. But these are far from being the only factors that hold sway. In this groundbreaking new book, bestselling behavioural scientists Stephen Martin and Joseph Marks explore the eight powerful human traits that help determine whether what we have to say gets heard or lands on deaf ears. They show how seemingly irrelevant details about our demeanour influence others’ responses. They explain how trust is won, even when it may not be deserved. They show how the most trivial of signals – like the shape of our face, the shoes we wear or the car we drive – can influence how people respond to us. And in a world of uncertainty and fake news they demonstrate how, increasingly, the Messenger is the Message. ‘Some books make us better citizens. Others make us better at our jobs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dazzling conclusion to the Greystone Secrets series from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the Greystones and their doubles, the Gustanos, must team up to save the alternate world—before both worlds are lost. All secrets are revealed in this page-turning, suspenseful story that shows the importance of teamwork, telling your story, and taking action when it matters most. As book three of the Greystone Secrets series opens, the Greystone kids have their mother back from the evil alternate world, and so does their friend Natalie. But no one believes the danger is past. Then mysterious coins begin falling from unexpected places. They are inscribed with codes that look just like what the Greystones’ father was working on before he died. And with the right touch, those symbols transform into words: PLEASE LISTEN. And FIND US, SEE US, HELP US. . . . The coins are messengers, telling the Greystones and their allies that their friends in the alternate world are under attack—and that the cruel, mind-controlling forces are now invading the better world, too. After another spinning, sliding journey across worlds, the Greystone kids must solve mysteries that have haunted them since the beginning: what happened when the Gustanos were kidnapped, what created the alternate world, and how a group of mismatched kids can triumph once and for all against an evil force that seems to have total control.

Download or read book The Messengers Speak written by E. Marie Ward and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been written that anyone who attempts to write a Bible story is forced to explore his or her motives when face with the importance and weight that biblical messages carry. The goal of The Messengers Speak is to provide viewers with profound biblical stories from the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible that can be presented through theatrical fellowship. These stories unfold with the characters in the bible being portrayed by an array of constantly revolving cast (messengers) consisting of individuals whose sole purpose is to deliver God's faith-based life-changing messages. Introducing the Bible in the form of stories is not a new idea. When an adult wants to impact important information to a child, it is often best related in a story because it is more easily understood and enjoyed. The Messengers Speak is designed to deliver inspiring earthly stories that deliver heavenly messages and bring God's Holy Word to life. The Messengers Speak uses the text from the Holy Bible. / It has been designed, written, formatted, and presented in the form of a movie script/play and is not intended to replace the reading of the original scriptures. Although it is not totally possible to translate all sixty-six books of the Bible into a script/play, but through years of study, the use of various authorized Bible versions and an attempt to make the language simpler enough without deviating from the text nor sacrificing the dignity of God's message, The Messengers Speak is designed to be another innovated way to deliver God's Word. God knows we can't do without one another. Some of the most important words used throughout the Bible are fellowship, partnership, communion, participation, and "giving to one another." God uses all kinds of tools and people to deliver His message to the world, The Messengers Speak, purpose and desire is to be one of God's successful tools.
