Work hard & Standing Heart

Standing firm at 24 by EXO Lay (Chinese name Zhang Yixing), his first autobiography published September of 2015 in China, with a record 24 minutes internet sale of 68,537 copies at the time, and three month sale of 1.4 million publication tax, is ranked 4th in Star Writer ranking of 2015, the youngest writer in the winning list. As someone who haven't read a Chinese book for many years, I was propelled by Lay's achievement as a main dancer in EXO, his kind and warm personality, and his recent success in China in reality show Go fighting, to get this book. I am still reading the book, but quite touched by his 'standing heart'. It's a book that will motivate young people to work hard, and understand unwavering determination to achieve success.

Awesome heart rendering story.  A strong woman who never gave up or never accepted defeat.  She was a woman of principle and pride.  I am humbled by this story.

It is easy to say we want to do big things for God. But how, exactly, do we go about accomplishing such a daunting task? In When Others Shuddered, author Jamie Janosz has given us the answer, at least in part, by introducing us to Fanny Crosby, Mary McLeod Bethune, Nettie McCormick, Sarah Dunn Clarke, Emma Dryer, Virginia Asher, Evangeline Booth and Amanda Berry Smith.

These eight women came from very different backgrounds. They faced hardships, tragedies and setbacks, but they all had one thing in common: they never, ever abandoned the calling and tasks they felt God had put on their lives. They refused to give up. Period. They didn't set out for recognition or aspire to greatness. Instead, they lived one thing: constant faithfulness. No matter the journey, despite the cost--constant faithfulness.

Ms. Janoszs book reminds us that greatness isn't about doing big splashy things. Its about being faithful day after month after year in the little things, doing what God has tasked us to do.

In all honesty, this book should come with a warning label: prepare to be challenged. Because in reading the stories of these women, I realized I want to be like them. Just as they did, I want to be strong and brave and stay the course, even When Others Shuddered. Get a copy for every woman in your life!

This book is a wonderful testimony to what a open heart and an open mind can do for a homeless child. It's Jimmy Wayne's story of survival and triumph from an abused, abandoned child to successful country star; all because God gave him strength and hope to press on and a Christian couple who opened their home and their hearts to him. It's beautiful and inspiring story which is written to motivate us to recognize and share our love and resources with children who have nothing and no one, unless someone cares like Bea and Russell Carson did for Jimmy. I admire Jimmy so much for his courage and his heart. His music is a gift from God and so is he to the Country Music industry. Buy it and read it! You won't be disappointed!

Let it be known that there is no harder worker than the farmer.  Those who provide us with food do so with grit, love, and determination.  You must love it.  It's in your blood.  Too many have gone by, too many have gone under, too many are just gone.  Have the utmost respect for such a dying breed.
Inspiring.

This book is truly inspired from the heart. I am a living testament to the "average" management style that has been and continues to be employed across the country. It comes as no surprise to me to learn how dissatisfied workers are with their positions. This read will enlighten anyone who is looking to turn around moral, and boost productivity in the workplace. After reading this, I will never revert back to the old style of management. Mr. Crowley, wonderful job and I hope you continue to inspire change among corporate America!

What an amazing man.  Just goes to show that you can do and be who you want to if you are prepared to put the hard work in.  Although he had a natural ability to follow his passions, we all have!  We just have to find out own.

Having volunteered at City Impact with my family over the years and also helped at the Academy, I can say that God's Holy Spirit is within the buildings that house City Impact, as well as within its inhabitants, whether students, staff or volunteers.  Love and grace abound because of the constant gratitude that is given to God for His love, goodness, and faithfulness.  The energy here is real and sincere.  Pastor Roger, you are God's true witness.  Thank you for being His obedient servant, for sharing your life and ministry with others.  That throughout you acknowledge your weaknesses and His omni-everything, and continue to give God the glory keeps the focus rightfully on Him.  To the entire Huang family and staff - your dedication to God, being in this world, and making the hard, conscious human decision to not be of this world, is powerfully impactive.  You remind us all that when we ask in His name, it is to be for His glory, not for our own sake or desires.  We then give Him thanks for his loving faithfulness through His timely blessings.  You show us in your book that this is God's awesome cycle at work, a circle only broken by human brokenness, but rejoined by Christ's love.  Your inspiration gives us strength and hope as we go thru our own suffering and trials in life, knowing that God is in our midst, waiting for us to chase Him too.  What a wonderful visual from your book title - like the small child who runs after his/her father as he leads with his big footsteps, we too lovingly long to keep up to follow Him.  Well written, a page-turner, what binds this book is the love and grace that is evident amidst our human frailties.

Be proactive in our lives, especially when we experience a hardship. John is a perfect example of doing just that. We take so much for granted. I will pass this along to my grown children so they can be inspired too!
