Best-selling author David Gillespie turns his attention to a phenomenon that damages businesses, seeds mental disease and discomfort and can bring civilisations to the brink of implosion - the psychopath. Psychopaths are often thought of as killers and criminals, but actually 5 to 10 percent of people are probably psychopathic without ever indulging in a single criminal act. These everyday psychopaths may be charming in the early stages of relationships or employment, but, Gillespie argues, their presence in your life is at best disruptive and at worst highly dangerous.

Through the finished, redemptive work of Jesus Christ, the Father God provided everything that we need for Him to fulfill His plan in the earth through us and for us to live out our days on the earth in the abundance that Jesus came to provide (John 10:10). This includes healing for our bodies. Everything that God did for us is received by faith. Faith in God comes from hearing and hearing and hearing, what God says about it. Faith for salvation comes from hearing that Jesus provides a new birth for us. The exact same way, faith for healing in our bodies, comes from hearing what God did ...

Research tells us that one in twenty people have no empathy. Empathy is the human ingredient that enables trust, forges bonds and allows teams to work and workplaces to thrive. The psychopath is not interested in cooperative effort but in individual power and glory - and they will stomp on anyone who gets in their way. Using research and stories drawn from history, politics, sports and business, Gillespie explains how workplace psychopaths - from bosses to clients, colleagues and customers - see the world, and highlights their devastating impact on workplaces.

Be yourself. Be fully present. Be in the moment. This is a message we hear constantly. While this may be beneficial some of the time, the biggest obstacle to making wiser decisions that actually drive lasting success is ourselves. Being fully immersed in our own limited point of view biases our decisions toward defending our previous actions and maintaining our self-image. Featuring compelling scientific research, business cases, and exercises, Distancing equips us with effective practical tools to reduce anxiety, see clearly, and make better decisions for ourselves and for our organizations.

According to best-selling author and researcher David Gillespie, we are more addicted than ever before, which is playing havoc with our dopamine levels. This is fuelling epidemic-like levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Gillespie reveals a large and robust body of research that shows how addictive activities, such as screen use, sugar consumption, drinking, gambling, shopping and smoking, spike our dopamine levels. This, in turn, affects our brain's ability to regulate our mood. The good news is that we can break the cycle to make things better.

Born again believers are citizens of God’s Kingdom. We are woven by the Holy Spirit into the perfect tapestry of His Glorious Church. He does the weaving but we need to know what steps to take in this process. There are many decisions about our lives and ministry. God does not require us to figure it all out for ourselves. We find all the answers we need and fulfil God’s plan by learning to follow the Holy Spirit. That is the subject of this book.

Every person who is born again by faith in Jesus Christ, has the Holy Spirit living in him or her. However, the Bible teaches a separate experience we call "receiving the Holy Spirit", or more accurately, the "Baptism in the Holy Spirit". This is a lesson about receiving this Baptism in the Holy Spirit, in the Scriptural way, with the Scriptural evidence.

Dana Gillespie’s 2021 memoir, Weren’t Born a Man, has been celebrated as "eye-popping" by The Spectator, "scandalous" by The Daily Mail, and "hilarious and moving" by The Times, all of them fitting descriptions that still don’t quite do it justice. It’s the tale of a true artist/adventurer’s life, told with vivid humour, no regrets, and an unflinching eye for detail. Dana’s life so far has been one from which every last drop of love, joy, and ebullience has been wrung.

Of the world's 200 largest economies, more than half are corporations. They have more influence on our lives than any other institution, but while boards of directors are supposed to police CEOs and provide independent leadership, they have become enabling lapdogs rather than trustworthy watchdogs.

Destruction, repression, negligence, and indifference have eradicated the vast majority of cinema's early legacy. Studies have estimated that between 75 and 90 percent of all silent films have been lost forever. Despite this, the survival of the medium persists, and long lost films continue to be rediscovered in often bizarre and unexpected places. Ashes to Classics is an effort to record these forgotten histories for posterity, to explore the histories of their creation, discovery, and preservation. Every week we'll be bringing you a new film that was once lost, discussing its merits and ...

This book is about various Spiritual gifts, primarily about the nine listed in 1 Corinthisns 12. Since the early 20th century move of God known as the Azusa Street Revival, there has been a great deal of study and writing about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Since that time, vast numbers of people have received the “blessing of Pentecost”, or the baptism with the Holy Spirit. There is a continual stream of new believers and new recipients of the Holy Spirit baptism who need to be taught. The author's goal is to explain the gifts of the Spirit, what they are, how they work and how they ...

With their labile and rapidly developing brains, adolescents are particularly susceptible to addiction, and addiction leads to anxiety and depression. What few parents will know is that what we think of as the most typical addictions and problematic teen behaviours - smoking, drinking, drug taking, sex leading to teenage pregnancy - are on the decline. The bad news is that a whole raft of addictions has taken their place.

In the New Testament letters of the Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit brings to us the revelation of what happened to us because of Who Jesus Christ is and because of what He did. That revelation is the subject of this book.

The greatest story ever told is about how God loved the world so much that He gave Jesus to come and die in our place. Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, took our place on the cross so that we could have His place in the family of God. At this very moment, there are many who cry out for help, who cry out for love, who cry out for understanding. Some turn to world religions and the occult in an attempt to satisfy the God consciousness that is in the heart of all people. Some of God’s own children slave under a yoke of bondage, not knowing that Jesus has set them free. The greatest ...

Be yourself. Be fully present. Be in the moment. That is the message we hear constantly. Yet, the biggest obstacle to making wiser, more successful decisions is often... ourselves. Our limited perspective biases our choices, leading us to defend past actions rather than seek better alternatives. We need to step outside our narrow view and gain an objective, fresh perspective. In other words, we need a coach. In Distancing, former David Marquet and Michael Gillespie show us how to coach ourselves into making better decisions using a powerful mental technique called psychological distancing.

Proverbs 4:7 says, “With all your getting, get understanding”. God is the Architect of our lives but also our Great Shepherd. So many people cry out for understanding concerning the things of God. The believer is given the right, the capacity and the means to understand these things. He promises us insight in order to walk with Him and to see His plan fulfilled in your life. This book is about the eyes of your understanding and your source of Godly knowledge and insight.

God wants believers to know what really happened to them when they were born again by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Knowing this reality and all that it entails, “the believer’s identity”, is life transforming and essential for us to daily walk in the victorious life we’ve been given.
