Society: Christianity

Nathan Strong’s newly released “The Littlest Shepherd” is a soul-refreshing book that allows the readers to know more about Jesus and His unending love for everyone.

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas”: an eye-gaping reminder that Jesus will come to any longing heart, helping them ease the worries and making their life complete. “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” is the creation of published author Nathan Strong, a writer who grew up in the hill country of northern Vermont. Finding Jesus as a teenager, he went on to serve as a pastor for thirty-five years.

Strong writes, “Coming from an unhappy home in Bethlehem, the little shepherd boy was happiest when he was out with the sheep at night. An amazing midnight experience led him to go with the other shepherds to find a baby in a manger, a wonderful sight he would never forget.

“Moving to Galilee as a man in search of joy, he comes in contact with a young teacher named Jesus. When he finally gets up enough courage to talk with Him, he discovers an amazing connection that may also meet the long-held desires of his heart.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Nathan Strong’s new book is a heart-touching tale that gives the readers hope to never lose their faith as Jesus remembers everyone and provide completeness in one’s life.

With this purpose, Strong shares a remarkable message to everyone that Jesus never fails to find and bring any longing soul to His Father’s Kingdom.

His Marine son was killed in Iraq in January, and after a year of grief, pastor Nathan Strong felt emotionally drained, with nothing left in the way of comfort and joy to offer his church that Christmas. In fact, he wondered if God really cared for a country boy in the hills of northern Vermont. Then he sat down and wrote “The Littlest Shepherd” – a story about God’s care for a country boy in the hills of Bethlehem, which reminded him in a very personal way of God’s care for him. This story renewed his understanding of God’s personal care for anyone in need. He shared it with his congregation that Christmas, and now he shares it with the world.

View a synopsis of “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

For additional information or inquiries about “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.

Oak Street Health Partners with Kellogg School of Management to Launch Fellowship for Value-Based Care Leadership

Leave a comment


News Image


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Oak Street Health, a network of primary care centers that delivers value-based care to adults on Medicare, announced the launch of its Fellowship for Value-Based Care Leadership, in partnership with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

The fellowship is designed to integrate medical training with advanced principles of value-based care and concepts to become an effective leader. Successful completion of the 24-month program results in a sponsored Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and consideration for a clinical leadership role with Oak Street Health.

The program begins in July 2020 and is based in Chicago. The selected fellows will have the unique opportunity to both provide patient care and rotate through three of Oak Street Health’s core business units: Clinical Quality, where they will collaborate with clinical leaders to ensure consistency in operation and create a high-quality patient experience; Care Navigation, where they will foster external relationships and partnerships to support care teams and patients across the entire patient lifecycle; and Population Health, where they will build interventions that contribute to a higher-quality and more cost-effective care delivery organization.

Fellows will spend six months in each business unit, three months in an elective rotation, and a final three months at an Oak Street Health center as interim Medical Director for hands-on training and experience. Throughout the entire program, fellows will be mentored by an Oak Street Health Senior Medical Director. Fellows will also complete the requirements to earn an MBA at the Kellogg School of Management, including core coursework and electives focused on the intricacies of the public-private nature of healthcare.

“Oak Street Health’s mission is to rebuild healthcare as it should be, and our providers are deeply committed to achieving that goal,” said Dr. Griffin Myers, Oak Street Health co-founder and Chief Medical Officer. “We’re thrilled to launch our Fellowship for Value-Based Care Leadership in partnership with the Kellogg School of Management. The program offers unprecedented access and experience for physicians to learn how to be an effective leader, through both clinical and business training, in a value-based care environment. We look forward to meeting and training future clinical leaders.”

“Liability coverage is a must for every driver. Buying more than the minimum is, however, up to you”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents the main rating factors used by companies to determine car insurance rates.

Before issuing a policy, companies will carefully scan the potential client. Some factors are extremely relevant and will influence the overall costs. These are:


  • The minimum imposed liability. Each state, except New Hampshire, imposes a minimum liability insurance responsibility in order to legally drive inside that state. As the state is the one who imposes the minimum liability requirements, the minimum price of liability insurance is not up to the policyholder. Depending on which state he lives and the imposed minimum requirements, the minimum price of liability can vary a lot.

  • The driving history. For insurance companies the driving history of a customer is critical, to determine his premium rates. Depending on past traffic violations and claims, the insurer can decide to increase or decrease the price paid on the liability insurance

  • Car model. There are a number of factors concerning the vehicle that can influence the price of liability insurance. Factors like car ownership, car make, model, age, installed safety devices, installed anti-theft devices, safety rating, value, condition, play a significant role when an insurer determines liability insurance rates. For example, a slightly used SUV, or family van will pay lower liability insurance rates than a new imported sports car.

  • The coverage limits. It’s up to the policyholder to decide the coverage limits, thus increasing or decreasing the overall costs. Online rates calculators allow users to simulate different coverage limits and receive cost estimates really fast
