Effective Living

“Effective Living is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, and as much as you want. It is the harmonious balance of enthusiastically doing what you need to do with complete fulfillment of what you want to do.”

Our society has not always openly supported the idea of living holistically; however, thanks to those like author Theresa Cloud Eagle Nelson, a third-generation practitioner of restoration, this total way of life is something that has been proven to reach and provide resolutions for the restoration of many core issues we face in life. The practice of conscious living, which she shares in these pages, is a part of who she is. Here, she shares many of the tools she has developed to help people find the fundamentals of effective living. These are tools she habitually uses every day of her life, and she doesnt know any other way to live. It is how the divine desires us to live, she teaches, in a full understanding that when we do, we will have heaven right here on Earth. This is nothing new; its been around for millennia.

The book gives new illumination to many facets of life -- from human sexuality to the appeal of false messiahs, from stage fright among even the most accomplished performers to suicide among successful writers, from enjoyment of opera to morally justifying murderous deeds. It does all of these, and much more, by clarifying four dimensions of social space in which we humans exist. The sequel to this book is WE LIVE IN SOCIAL SPACE, also published by AuthorHouse.

Getting a Life is rooted in the idea that some steps toward wisdom require nothing more than a fresh look at common life situations, nothing more than an appreciation of the difference between skilful and unskilful ways of dealing with those situations.

Just like your lifestyle, your current prayer life is also perfectly designed to produce the result you are getting. If you want a prayer life that will enable you to experience God’s presence like you never have before and move Him to bless you like He has never blessed you before, then you must start praying like you have never prayed before! Tools for Effective Prayer will teach you how to do that! There are some mechanics of prayers, such as persistency and fervency, that are essential for effective prayer. However, without the proper dynamics of prayer working to produce spiritual power in a person’s life—the positive effects of the discipline of proper mechanics are nullified. Such is also the case with the contents of prayer. If one’s prayers don’t include the essential contents—effectiveness (or power) will be greatly diluted.
