Have you ever considered the ultimate purposes and consequences of good work performed by non-Christians? Have you ever theologically considered the work of non-Christians at all? Is it possible that God would ever give credence to, let alone honor the work of, non-Christians in an ultimate sense? Are you frustrated by theologies of work that are entirely protological in orientation? How do we make sense of biblical excerpts that talk of work being judged towards a particular outcome? The Good Work of Non-Christians, Empowerment, and the New Creation attempts to answer these questions in a manner that also challenges evangelical assumptions about the ultimate outcomes of working life. Drawing strength from eschatologically minded theologies by Miroslav Volf and Darrell Cosden, Weir seeks to replace protology with eschatology in a theology of work about non-Christians. The British evangelical tradition is specifically taken up here so as to make critical assessments of certain airtight theologies regarding human action with reference to the new creation. This book attempts to create a heuristic against unhelpful hermeneutical tendencies that inform evangelical theologies. This is a work that is not only theological, it is biblically, historically, and ethically rigorous.

The ancient World was created with the 7 Words of Creation, which are in the form of 7 magical artifacts. When a person weilds it, it gives the bearer an enourmous power to change the Allness.Long time ago, the Words of Power got split into 14 opposites…One day, an ordinary 14-year-old boy, named Joshua, finds a mystical pocket watch under an old bench in the park of a small town. It seems a perfectly normal watch, although it is showing the wrong time. When he accidentally drops it in the coffee shop, something happens! The coldness arises and he relives a few seconds of that moment twice. The time on the watch had changed. Does the watch really show the wrong time? Or is it the only „right time” in the world? Who`s watch is it?These questions drive young Joshua to find answers.In passing days, when he tries to grab on to the normal school-life that he used to believe was everything real in the world for him, he suddenly meets a mystical young woman, arriving with the eclipse. With her beautiful brown hair and unexampled gloomy amulet, she grabs him, pushing him against the wall, telling him that she is from the Coven sent to protect him and that she is called sister Kayden. She tells him that there are people after him, dark people with unnatural power, to claim the Watch – the Seventh Word of Creation – for their own, and suggesting him to run!…

Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute tells the story of a young manager whose attempts to turn his troubled company around through traditional top-down, command-and-control management are failing. Reluctantly, he contacts an expert in empowerment, even though he feels like he's already tried that too. Step by step, the expert helps him understand why his past and present efforts have fallen short and exactly what he needs to do to create an empowered workforce. The process as it unfolds is complex, paradoxical and counterintuitive -but well worth the effort. The new introduction dispels the notion that empowerment is a bygone fad. No matter what its name, the essential concept-that organizations can achieve extraordinary results by recognizing and taking advantage of the skills, experience, and knowledge already existing in the organization-will always be relevant. The new epilogue describes obstacles companies have encountered and overcome and outlines empowerment strategies that have proved successful during the fifteen years the authors have been consulting, researching, and refining these concepts. Although sometimes arduous, the journey to empowerment is well worth making. In fact, unleashing the power of people in an organization may be the only way to continue to do business in a competitive, complicated marketplace.
