Описание:
The Blaine family was among the Pawnees forcibly removed to Indian Territory in 1874–75. By the early twentieth century, disease and starvation had wiped out nearly three-quarters of the reservation’s population. Government boarding schools refused to teach Pawnee customs and language, and many Pawnees found themselves without a community when their promised land was allotted to individuals and the rest sold as "surplus" to white settlers.
Where did the Blaine family find the resilience to cope with the continual assault on their dignity and way of life? In Some Things Are Not Forgotten, Martha Royce Blaine reveals the strengths of character and culture that enabled them to persevere during the reservation years.
Many memorable figures emerge: Wichita and Effie Blaine, anguished over the deaths of two young sons and driven to embrace the Ghost Dance; John Box, whose persistent attempts to farm the white man’s way are shattered in one disastrous moment by a tornado; James G. Blaine, an aspiring ballplayer whose mysterious death in jail ends his bid to join the Chicago White Sox. We also meet the young, educated James Murie, striding a conflict-ridden path between the Pawnee and white worlds. Perhaps most unforgettable are the childhood memories of Garland Blaine, the late husband of the author, who became head chief of the Pawnees in 1964.

The world needs what makes you unique
In this classic on Christian self-image, Blaine Smith stresses the importance of cherishing your personal distinctiveness - as a gift of God, and a vital indication of what he wants you to do with your life. And he looks carefully at what this means. He considers how self-esteem and humility should fit together for the Christian. And he gives you solid biblical reasons to view your personality, talents and gifts, physical features, and special circumstances positively and appreciatively. His accent is on encouragement and re-inventing the way you see yourself as a child of God.
This book will help you to:
Appreciate your personality, talents and physical features as God's handiwork
Be more alert to golden opportunities to invest your life
Understand how self-esteem and humility fit together in the Christian life
Break through "self-consistency" to achieve a genuinely more positive, healthy self-concept
Base your identity not just on one talent or characteristic, but on your unique combination of features
Break the habit of comparing yourself unfavorably to others
Ralph T. Mattson comments: "More people are likely to be blunted in their growth by poor perceptions of their individual worth than by inflated egos. Innumerable Christians have embarked on their life's calling with profound misunderstanding of their uniqueness and self-worth, thereby missing many of the delights of full-orbed Christian living.
"One of a Kind is a welcome corrective. It encourages us to abandon self-depreciation for a realistic biblical view of ourselves without false positivism. In dealing with the subjects of humility, self-esteem, ideals, body image, and personality, Blaine Smith covers the most commonly expressed concerns people are likely to have about themselves."
Ralph T. Mattson, author of Finding a Job That You Can Love
Blaine Smith's One of a Kind (originally published in 1984 by InterVarsity Press) is re-issued by SilverCrest Books.

SOLUTIONS TO YOUR NEEDS MAY BE MORE WITHIN YOUR REACH THAN YOU REALIZE In this short book (71 pages), Blaine Smith stresses that we Christians too often fail to take needed initiative toward meeting needs we have, solving problems, and pursuing goals and dreams. We assume faith requires us to wait passively for the Lord to provide. Yet so often we would show greater faith and trust in Christ by taking initiative. We would find ourselves happier and more successful by being active, and would contribute more to the mission of Christ. Smith explains why, and he offers a simple principle for deciding when to wait or initiate, based on how people resolved this question in Scripture.
Smith also looks at other liberating principles related to taking initiative, including-
We are more capable of finding good answers to our problems and needs than we imagine, because of how God has fashioned our mind and influences it. By continuing to strive for solutions, we're sometimes surprised by sudden, welcome insight.
Doing something toward a need, no matter how mundane, usually beats doing nothing, and opens us to God's greatest blessings.
During our lifetime most of us experience a number of blatant opportunities which God doesn't wish us to accept. This is an especially encouraging principle to understand, for we're not obliged to go through the wide open door if it doesn't align with our long-term priorities.
Our prayers are often more effective than we think, and we honor God by being bold and persistent with our requests.
While we're called to "turn the other cheek," we're not to be a doormat to anyone's abuse. We're expected to stand up for ourselves when others treat us unfairly. And turning the other cheek, rightly understood, is a high form of assertiveness.
You'll find Should I Wait in Faith or Step Out in Faith? filled with practical advice and encouragement, to help you find answers to your needs and to realize your highest potential for Christ
Note: Chapter 6 of this book, "Faith and Assertiveness," and part of chapter one are adapted from Blaine Smith's "Overcoming Shyness." The other five chapters are published here for the first time in book form.

Описание:
WHAT A RADICAL DIFFERENCE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MAKES With this extraordinary benefit, we're happier, more productive and successful. We love and help others more effectively. Our health likely improves as well. Without it, our emotions so often defeat us. We worry incessantly about catastrophes that never occur. We lose our temper easily. We cave in to despair over a setback, missing any silver lining. We give in to the urge to rescue someone, when we're already overextended. We tire unnecessarily.
The emotionally intelligent person is far less susceptible. She understands her feelings well, and handles them adeptly. He also knows how to draw many benefits-even from his negative emotions. In this warm and insightful book, Blaine Smith looks carefully at what emotional intelligence is, and why it's vital for the Christian. He explains how you can achieve it, offering much practical counsel, and drawing on many fascinating biblical and personal examples. He looks at issues common to everyone, and at many unique to us as believers.
Emotional Intelligence for the Christian will help you to:
Avoid emotional freefalls into anger, despair, anxiety
Understand anger's pitfalls as well as its positive role
Grow more optimistic about your future, and gain greater motivation for steps of faith
Better prepare yourself emotionally for solving problems and recognizing God's guidance
Understand when your desires signal God's will for you
Appreciate your unique temperament and its benefits
More effectively love and serve others for Christ
The goal of growing wiser emotionally is highly achievable for any of us who take it seriously. This book will give you both the inspiration and practical guidance to make it happen
M. Blaine Smith is director of Nehemiah Ministries, in the Washington, D.C. area, and author of many books, including Overcoming Shyness and The Yes Anxiety.
