The inspiring story of a man who works tirelessly to bring hope, dignity, and livelihoods to refugees in Rwanda--and encouragement for anyone who wants to rise above their own circumstances and find purpose in helping others.
Finally living in his native Rwanda after the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, Patrick Karangwa answered a calling to start an organization that would foster peace and reconciliation, and empower the youth. In 2012, when he saw an influx of Congolese refugees entering Rwanda to escape armed conflict, his vision expanded. He knew he could help them with the compassion they needed, because he had once been a refugee himself.
In Finding Purpose in Challenging Times, Karangwa shares the story of his journey from life as a young man born and raised in Uganda, to founder and CEO of an NGO that has grown to serve tens of thousands of refugees and other vulnerable communities in Rwanda and beyond.
If you want to make a difference in the world, this book will inspire you to believe in your own potential--no matter what your current circumstances are--and to experience the joy of helping others with compassion, faith, and best practices.
Because you, being your best you, and living your best life, matters
The Excellence Habit is biography of an idea, and the idea is simple. The main source of success is excellence, and excellence depends more on our internal circumstances. Grit, determination, and the discipline to put in the hard work as a matter of habit, and not a matter of need, are crucial. The Excellence Habit is a reminder that we are the owners of our success. There are no magic formulas, shortcuts, or secret sauce. The 7-rules, or 3 steps, or 12 laws that promise to change our lives - they won't help, unless we do the work. We will learn from many, yet the most important steps, we need to take on our own. Over the course of our adult life, it is always us, who have the most power. We will not always be in control and nobody is. But we can choose to maximize our effect on this planet, on our loved ones and on our personal fulfillment by building an Excellence Habit. The Excellence Habit also examines the distinction between success and excellence. Success is achieving high goals. Excellence is doing the right thing, even when not driving towards any goal. It is a small mindset shift, which will produce big results. Excellence can and will lead to success. Success, on the other hand, can be the biggest enemy of excellence. More often than not success is measured in social influence, recognition and wealth. For those practicing it faithfully - Excellence is its own biggest reward

In a world where basic human rights are under attack and discrimination is widespread, Advancing Equality reminds us of the critical role of constitutions in creating and protecting equal rights. Combining a comparative analysis of equal rights in the constitutions of all 193 United Nations member countries with inspiring stories of activism and powerful court cases from around the globe, the book traces the trends in constitution drafting over the past half century and examines how stronger protections against discrimination have transformed lives. Looking at equal rights across gender, race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, social class, and migration status, the authors uncover which groups are increasingly guaranteed equal rights in constitutions, whether or not these rights on paper have been translated into practice, and which nations lag behind. Serving as a comprehensive call to action for anyone who cares about their country's future, Advancing Equality challenges us to remember how far we all still must go for equal rights for all.

This book will motivate you to commit to a life of determined difference, in a generation that seems inclined to walking the short-cut and self-pleasing paths, contrary to what God desires for mankind.
It will spur you to live a life of RELEVANCE, realizing that you only live once and only the life that is lived in fulfilling God's purpose and your calling will count.
It is my prayer that this book will help you to realize your calling and to stay on the "lane" towards becoming who God desires for you to be.
"The world is moving and you need to move with it. YOU can have an impact and make a difference as a great consultant "
Zena Simces, with over 30 years of experience in the health, social services, education, justice and employment sectors, brings her expertise to a unique book on how to be a great consultant.
This book takes a comprehensive look at how to make a difference as a consultant in today's complex world and meet future challenges. Through her narratives, research and tips, she offers useful information to determine if consulting is for you, how to get started, the technical skills required and, most significantly, the soft skills needed to guide you on a successful path.
Ms. Simces discusses the top 10 skills to becoming a great consultant. Being a great consultant, according to Ms. Simces, means building trusting relationships, understanding the culture of the organization, being a good listener and communicator, upholding ethical standards, focusing on the big picture, and being a catalyst for change, an influencer, and a leader. It is more important to "get it right" than "being right," and to do the job "with" your clients and not "for" them.
Whether you are considering a consulting career, wishing to be even more successful as a consultant, or have a leadership or management position in any sector, this book will be of value to you.

Americans are generous with their pocketbooks, but trying to make a difference and actually making a difference are two different things. Where Am I Giving? by New York Times bestselling author Kelsey Timmerman takes you on a journey to meet people who will inspire you to live a purpose-filled, generous life and make the greatest impact you can through your career, time, consumer dollars, and donations.
Starting in his hometown of Muncie, Indiana, and then traveling all over the world (Myanmar, Kenya, India, Nepal, and more), Kelsey explores not only different ways of giving--as a worker, consumer, volunteer, giver, local and global citizen--but also the benefits and effectiveness of these methods. He spends time with monks, students, a refugee, a Marine, a former Hollywood executive, Peace Corps Volunteers, and seasoned aid workers to explore how they give, as well as with the people on the receiving end of their giving. Along the way he struggles to be a more informed giver as he becomes a "voluntourist," starts his own local non-profit, and searches for a balance between rationality and passion in how he gives.
This book will help you:
Reveal the amazing opportunities you have to make an impact using your own gifts--and it doesn't have to be money
Understand the sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience of giving
See how giving can make you more connected and happier
Examine types of giving, including microlending, volunteering, donating, ethical consumption, mission trips, voluntourism, child sponsorship, etc.
Dive into a nuanced view of effectiveness of international aid and its intersection with development, politics, and culture
Where Am I Giving? is a fast-paced narrative combining compelling stories collected over 15 years of travel to 90+ countries, mixed with practical advice on how to make giving a part of our everyday lives.

Описание:
What does it mean to be ruddered? Think about someone that made a difference in your life-a person with a positive influence on you and took time to parent, teach, coach, or mentor you. Developing in your mind's eye is the picture of a person from a while back or maybe recently. By now, you are enjoying a fond memory and reflecting on the time you shared. You are grateful because, had it not been for that person, you would not be where you are today, or maybe, not here at all. That is ruddered. A rudder is an instrument on a ship or airplane that steers you in a certain direction. Even in the face of strong winds, a rudder in the hands of a skilled captain can guide a huge ship. Despite a rudder being small and out of sight, it is quite powerful. Put that rudder in the hands of a skilled person, captain, or leader, and you have a possibility for huge impact and positive results. Ruddered is about making a difference in the lives of people-first the reader, then those the reader impacts on a daily basis. Ruddered contains the keys to business success: establish trust, acquire the best talent you can afford, train and develop your team, and be patient because it takes time. Ruddered includes ways to embrace excellence with biblical and contemporary examples. Scott Lee Rose is an author, leader, teacher, and inspirational speaker. In Ruddered, he brings over twenty-five years of Christian leadership experience to bear. Mr. Rose maintains a simple premise throughout-"Good leaders don't work to get everyone on their side, rather great leaders work to get everyone on the same side."
