Book Description
In our lifetimes we all will meet a lot of people. Most of these people will barely become acquaintances. Others may become buddies while still others become good friends. But still even more rare are those special people who will change our lives forever. Kevin Davis has been that kind of friend. He has been a friend, a Christian, and most of all a preacher of the gospel.I first met Kevin during my freshmen year at Christian Life College. We quickly became good friends as we worked together in the Student Senate, helping each other study for exams, being roommates, and most importantly exercising ourselves in the ministry. During the time Ive known him, Kevins testimony and lifestyle have made an impact on my life. After traveling together for a summer and seeing his consistency and work ethic I can only say, "To God be the Glory."I hope as you read this incredible testimony of how the Lord helped Kevin to overcome cerebral palsy that you too will be blessed. This is not an effort to glorify a man, but to show what powerful things God can do in the life of a committed servant. Every time I want to quit or settle for less than Gods best I remember, the power of persistency. I also pray that your life will be infused with the power of persistency. Thank you Kevin for being an example of the believer and thank you Jesus for giving him the strength to overcome.Rev. Paul Hicks

Book Description
The book aptly explains the decisive virtues of courage and persistence, so deficient yet so vital for human fulfillment, with inspiration drawn chiefly not only from the authors' own experiences, but also from other people of renown. It explains the causes of their widespread prevalence and the possibility, within man's power, to develop and draw from them in combination with other virtues for accomplishment. Also, and as a way to make the point clear, it uses anecdotes and quotes to illustrate.

Book Description
The Architecture of Persistence argues that continued human use is the ultimate measure of sustainability in architecture, and that expanding the discourse about adaptability to include continuity as well as change offers the architectural manifestation of resilience. Why do some buildings last for generations as beloved and useful places, while others do not? How can designers today create buildings that remain useful into the future? While architects and theorists have offered a wide range of ideas about building for change, this book focuses on persistent architecture: the material, spatial, and cultural processes that give rise to long-lived buildings. Organized in three parts, this book examines material longevity in the face of constant physical and cultural change, connects the dimensions of human use and contemporary program, and discusses how time informs the design process. Featuring dozens of interviews with people who design and use buildings, and a close analysis of over a hundred historic and contemporary projects, the principles of persistent architecture introduced here address urgent challenges for contemporary practice while pointing towards a more sustainable built environment in the future. The Architecture of Persistence: Designing for Future Use offers practitioners, students, and scholars a set of principles and illustrative precedents exploring architecture’s unique ability to connect an instructive past, a useful present, and an unknown future.

Book Description
Find Joy in a Busy World by Practicing Patience “This book is a true gift to the world. It's insightful and full of calm, helpful wisdom.” —Richard Carlson, author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Bestselling author M.J. Ryan details just what living with patience can bring to our lives and how it can change us for the better. Take a deeper look at an old-fashioned quality. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Patience is a virtue,” and doubtless responded with a sigh, as usually it’s spoken with a tone of reproach. But this virtue carries with it a wealth of wisdom that can actually help us find happiness in our day-to-day life. Slow the rush. Things move at a quick pace in our society, in both our work lives and social lives. Not only are we forced to keep up, but we have been conditioned to expect instant gratification. Because of this, we find ourselves getting flustered by the smallest setbacks or hold ups―whether it’s a slow server at a restaurant or rush-hour traffic. Ryan shares how patience is the very antidote to the stress of our fast-paced lifestyle. Reclaim your priorities. By reining in our aggravation when things don’t happen instantaneously, we give ourselves time to breathe and think more clearly. We make better use of our days and allow ourselves to make decisions based on how they align with our priorities, instead of focusing on how fast we can get tasks done. With M.J. Ryan’s help, we can learn to foster a patient outlook and find joy and fulfillment in the present moment. M.J. Ryan’s book is a fulfilling and beneficial self-care gift for women and men that provides: • Straightforward, believable instructions for developing a habit of patience • A source of stress-relief and guide to happier living • Ways to find peaceful moments amidst the hustle and bustle that each day brings Readers of Present Over Perfect, When Less Becomes More, The Joy of Missing Out, or Stillness is Key will love M.J. Ryan’s The Power of Patience.
