"Lordship through Friendship is a conversational tapestry of life's struggles. Readers will gain a clearer understanding that prayer life and devotional time is not where we do all the talking and God does all the listening. As a helpful spiritual discipline in the art of learning how to converse with God, this book also includes end of chapter questions that encourage the young to mature Christian to use the book as a personal devotion or in a small group setting. Pastor Bryan & Cindy Mann Mt. Victory United Methodist Church, Gardners, Pennsylvania "Lordship through Friendship looks at the question: what is my relationship with God? Rita shares her conversations with God and His responses, through unusual parables that led to a fuller understanding of His love and direction. Readers feel a kinship with her questions, misunderstandings, growth in the Lord, and will better understand His plan of friendship for their lives." Terry Griffin, On-Line News Editor "I'm not sure all people grasp that our salvation is based upon having a relationship with God. I often need tangible examples to help me spiritually mature. WOW-an entire book of examples-fantastic!" Rick McCauslin, Radio Station Manger "While Rita's targeted audience is Christian, her themes have wide appeal; her metaphors are fresh and clear, and her provocative prose is inspiring," Joan W., Professor Emerita.
Public speaking is one of the things many fear the most. This fear is justified-Many eyes to look into and many minds to contend with. Thoughts are elusive. The catcher of powerful thoughts-the apt words-are even more elusive. Yet, you do not need to despair. By standing on the shoulders of great orators, you can also speak with facility, felicity, cogency, and potency. Great orators have produced immortal thoughts couched in immortal words. This book selects the gems and the most versatile phrases in the top 100 speeches in the history of American rhetoric of the last century, so that you do not have to tire your mind and tax your time spending months going through all these speeches to mine the diamonds of powerful thoughts and felicitous words. This book furnishes you with powerful and ready blocks for the efficient construction of edifices of powerful ideas embodied in powerful words. The top 100 speeches are the most significant American political speeches of the 20th century, according to 137 leading scholars of American public address. Their inclusion and ranking are based on their "social and political impact," "rhetorical artistry," "eloquence," and "power."
Excerpt from the Introduction of Lordship through Friendship:
Jesus said, “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends…” (John 15:15a NIV). I grasped this truth while writing in my journal. My journey, called life, took on new meaning…The Lord used humor, metaphors and modern-day parables to help me more fully understand His life – His word – His Lordship through Friendship.
