The Mosaic of My Life is the author’s second novel. The original Russian language edition was published in 2019. The novel has been nominated for three national literary awards in Russia which will be adjudicated in the autumn of 2020. The Mosaic of My Life covers a broad swathe of Russian history from the still ‘normal’ living conditions at the turn of the 20th century through World War I and the 1917 Revolution, the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War, to the New Economic Policy and semi-return to a market economy followed by the Great Terror, World War II and the immediate post war years. The story is based on reminiscences of people who lived through this complex historical period and, in their own words, explain their various decisions to stay or emigrate. The narrative takes the reader through several social strata from workers to high bourgeoisie, from inside the director’s box at the Bolshoi Theater to inside solitary confinement cells of political prisoners awaiting interrogation and likely execution.

Life is often not picture-perfect, and difficult times can make it hard to see a plan or purpose for our lives. In this inspiring story of one man's journey―from a rocky start as the son of a professional wrestler, to handling the fates of thousands as an air-traffic controller at one of the nation's busiest airports, to becoming a popular speaker―you will learn to see life from a different perspective. No matter what your circumstances, God can gather up the broken pieces and random elements of your life and form them into a beautiful mosaic―making you a useful vessel for His glory. Carl Kerby's story will not only give you reasons for hope in your own life, but will encourage you to share the only source of true hope with others. With humor and passion, Carl offers answers to questions about suffering, evolution, relativism, pluralism, and more, so you will be well-equipped to give reasons for hope to a broken world that desperately needs to hear it.Winner of the 2013 CSPA Book of the Year Award (Christian Living category), by the Christian Small Publisher Association.
Before You Die, Live the Life You Were Born To Live. When you come to the end of your days, you will not measure your life based on success and failures. All of those will eventually blur together into a single memory called “life.” What will give you solace is a life with nothing left undone. One that’s been lived with relentless ambition, a heart on fire, and with no regrets. On the other hand, what will haunt you until your final breath is who you could have been but never became and what you could have done but never did. The Last Arrow is your roadmap to a life that defies odds and alters destinies. Discover the attributes of those who break the gravitational pull of mediocrity as cultural pioneer and thought leader Erwin McManus examines the characteristics of individuals who risked everything for a life they could only imagine. Imagine living the life you were convinced was only a dream. We all begin this life with a quiver full of arrows. Now the choice is yours. Will you cling to your arrows or risk them all, opting to live until you have nothing left to give? Time is short. Pick up The Last Arrow and begin the greatest quest of your life.
A best-selling author, pastor, futurist, and cultural thought leader argues that to experience and establish inner peace, we must first confront the battles that rage within. Your longings for inner peace and deep purpose are attainable, but they won't come easy. They require a warrior's mentality. Fighting for them requires passion, perseverance, and precision. This is an invitation to an unflinchingly honest look at your interior life guided by the ancient principles and methods revealed through Scripture. Erwin Raphael McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion, and provides the sacred movements needed to become the warrior you were meant to be. We live in a time of global and personal chaos. The world is at war because our souls are at war. The path to peace begins with you overcoming your most frequent and fierce enemy: yourself.
Learn to think better. You have within you vast potentials waiting to be set free. Learn to think so well that you'll instantly realize when thinking is pointless. There are moments when mindfulness is far more significant. Learn to more than think by allowing yourself to feel what thoughts may never grasp. This gives you the power to act with purpose, to live in awareness, and to be happy. Realizations about our life, consciousness, and existence will guide you. It's about everything "The Mosaic" pieces together humanity's most profound realizations, connects science, religion and reason, and answers the great questions of our life. The clear arrangement of this spiritual journey finds us right where we are in our everyday consciousness, frees us from the limitations of our worldviews in unexpected ways, and catapults us straight into a genuine enthusiasm for our existence. The author Markus Obrock, born in 1981, a graduate electrical engineer, has been working as a communications trainer, strategic planner, and creative thinker in the automotive industry since 2006.
In her Mosaic, Bea Silverberg shares her adventures in a United Nations (UNRRA) mission in Yugoslavia, campaigning for peace in West Virginia mine country, co-founding a shelter for survivors of domestic violence, and the complexity of raising a large family.
"Like Trotsky, I did not leave home with the proverbial one-and-six in my pocket. I come from a family of landed gentry . . . [and] could have chosen the path of comfort and safety, for even in apartheid South Africa, there is still that path for those who will collaborate. But I chose the path of struggle and uncertainty."--from the Preface Born into the small social elite of black South Africa, Phyllis Ntantala did not face the grinding poverty so familiar to other South African blacks. Instead, her struggle was that of a creative, articulate woman seeking fulfillment and justice in a land that tried to deny her both. The widow of Xhosa writer and historian A.C. Jordan and mother of African National Congress leader Z. Pallo Jordan, she and her family experienced a period of tremendous change in South Africa and also in the United States, where they moved during the 1960s. She discovers similarities in the two countries, including the arrogance of power. Anchored in history and culture, A Life's Mosaic sharply reveals the world and the people of South Africa. As the story of a political exile, it represents the dislocations that have caused universal suffering in the second half of the twentieth century. Phyllis Ntantala discusses the cruelty of racism, the cynicism of political solutions, and the hopes of those who live in both a world of exile and a world of dreams.
Life -- personally and professionally -- is lived to the fullest as a mosaic, encompassing a rich and complex set of diverse experiences that provide purpose, meaning, happiness, and success. Yet, the pressures of modern society push us toward narrower focus and deeper specialization in our lives and careers. Our pursuit of specific expertise risks us becoming isolated from those different from us; our lack of shared experience fosters suspicion and conflict. Today we have businesspeople and government officials who persistently distrust and demonize each other; a fortunate swath of society with professional and financial security, increasingly isolated from those left behind; and community leaders who struggle to relate to and connect with the communities they serve. In every walk of life we have allowed ourselves to be pushed into self-defining cocoons from which it is difficult to break out. Nick Lovegrove's compelling vision provides the way out of this contemporary trap. He supplies vivid portraits of those who get it right (such as Paul Farmer, the physician whose broad and imaginative choices bring health and hope to the world's poorest people) and those who get it deeply wrong (such as Jeffrey Skilling, the former CEO of Enron) and connects their experiences with a blueprint of six skills -- a moral compass, transferrable skills, contextual intelligence, prepared mind, intellectual thread, and extended network. The Mosaic Principle will help you to succeed in an ever-changing, more complex, and diverse world, and build a more remarkable and fulfilling life.
