The Noble Renaissance

Reclaiming the Lost Virtue of Nobility

De: Carrie Lloyd, Bill Johnson - foreword

Narrado por: Carrie Lloyd

With humor-filled personal tales and in-depth research, Carrie Lloyd will unfold the meaning behind the characteristics of nobility - self-sacrifice, humility, courage, self-conquest, integrity, honesty - all required for nurturing noble virtues.

What would happen if we intentionally chose to live a life of nobility? If we thought of our fellow man before ourselves? In a world littered with lawsuits, hate mail, and demands for punishment, when did we stop caring for our neighbor? When did we set aside the cause and effect of our decisions? When did we rest on the hidden laurels of contempt, instead of working a little harder, to bring fruit and morality based on forethought over legalism?

"The noble man makes noble plans and by noble plans he stands," Isaiah tells us. The finest characters in Scripture often carried this descriptor in their back pockets, and such labels didn’t always follow their wealth - but followed their integrity.

Could we become a little more effective, a little kinder if we consciously began to ask, “What’s the noble choice?”

Blown away

Carrie is a beautiful writer, with a heart that Radiates straight from the heart of God. Every story one that hits deep into the heart of the listener/reader, and every chapter a deeper look into the endless ocean of Gods love. I am encouraged, moved, and alight from this gorgeous reminder of why I fell in love with Jesus in the first place, and why I ever want to grow more in love with Him each day.

A very profound book.

I cannot recommend this book enough. Ms Lloyd brings a perspective and a humility to the subject that should make us all long to become men and women of Noble character. For those who are atheists, dice deeply. For those whose faith has grown ritualistic and boring, where the meaning and purpose of life is lost in some kind of label, run to He who shaped a beautiful single woman who was an atheist and who became a person who has encountered the living, God, As I’m still processing this fine book, in trying to describe this message from the author, it seems more like a song, whose words and music are higher than anyone can hear. Read with wonder and be expectant for your song and your light and purpose to touch many. There is healing in these pages. It was for me and can be for anyone who is seeking asking or knocking. Thank you Carrie Lloyd for sharing your fears, your weaknesses failure and your beautiful walk; for sharing the lover of our souls. Respectfully Bill Steinwedell

HISTORY CHANGING POTENTIAL

I have a special place on my bookshelves for what are to me the most powerful books I have ever read. They are the books that I send as gifts to people knowing they will be life changing for them. This book will not only radically change lives, if read by enough people it will change the course of history. - It is a book for such a time as this!

Wonderful recommend 10/10

This book so beautifully written and packed full of gold nuggets I know I will go back on and reference and apply for the rest of my life. Carrie can step on my toes and encourage me in the same breath. The balance of hard truth and grace and mercy is truly what our world is groaning for (in my personal opinion). Thank you Carrie for this book. It’s a true gift to all those who read. This a great book for group study and discussion. :)

Courageous Book by a Genuine Person

This is a sweet book, sweet natured. You want Carrie Lloyd as a neighbor.

It's cool to read this inspirational book by a person aspiring to maximize her excellence in something she cares about.

Being an aristocrat of the soul, now that is awesome. I did not think I would like this book, but I do. It's great and I almost don't feel worthy of Mrs. Lloyd's courageous efforts in giving us this book.
