This is the fourth volume of New Old Sayings. This offers another one thousand glimmers gleaned from more than sixty years of Dr. Owens' songs, poems, essays, novels, books, lectures, speeches, personal conversations, contemplation, meditation, and education.

This book is filled with essays whose purpose is to encourage faith and point to the hope that dwells within the Gospel, the hope of glory in Christ Jesus. I believe Jesus Christ came to set us free. And if He sets us free, we are free indeed. So, take courage. Don’t lose hope. Instead be hope-filled. All you have to do is confess Jesus as lord, the leader of your life, believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and you will enter into a world of joy unspeakable and full of glory. If you haven’t done that before I’m going to believe you just did, and that fills me with hope.

If we spend all our prayer time speaking and never listening, we will never hear a thing. This is hard to learn and an even harder discipline to establish in our prayer life. However, if we will be intentional and persistent in practicing the art of listening in our prayers, we will hear the voice of God. Obviously if we want to be able to distinguish the voice of God from the cacophony of our own thoughts, the background noise of the world, and the voice of the enemy of our souls we need to spend enough time in God’s Word becoming intimate with Him and familiar with His revelation. What ...

What is poetry? Is it just alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, sound, stanzas, tone, and meter? Or is it something shimmering between reality and realization?

Here we go again another volume in my New Old Sayings series. The idea that God speaks to us is in a deeply personal way is nonsensical to the worldly. The truth of the matter is: God speaks. And that says it all. I offer here the fifth volume of New Old Sayings. Once again, I don’t end this book by saying, “Thus said the Lord.” I do not claim literal inspiration for what is contained within these pages. I do say that God speaks to me. He speaks to me primarily through His Word as contained in the Bible. I find Him weaving His way through books, songs, paintings, poetry, movies, and ...

This book is filled with musings and random thoughts of Dr. Robert Owens offered over the space of more than sixty years and compiled in one place for your edification and reference. Most of these quotes and quips come from articles written for and published on the web site drrdrrobertowens.com and/or from his many books. As a lover of old sayings, Dr. Owens has taken the opportunity given by a lifetime of writing to invent a few himself and after an equal amount of time studying the wisdom and proverbs of the world, he has distilled some of that heady elixir here.

What is poetry? Is it merely alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, sound, stanzas, tone, and meter? Or is it something shimmering between reality and realization? Is it the charismatic sister of prose encapsulating enchantment bringing substance to that which is known intuitively? Touching on politics, philosophy, religion, sociology, economics, and whimsey, the offerings in this book are meant to entertain, enlighten, and amuse. Hebrew poetry as bequeathed to us in Psalms is fundamentally different from the rhyming symmetry of meter, syntax, and structure the western world has ...

May these be received in the same spirit in which they are offered, love and a desire to share what God has given me so that He can give others even more. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and give you peace.

Once again, I offer another volume in my New Old Sayings series. The idea that God speaks to us is in a deeply personal way is nonsensical to the worldly. The truth of the matter is: God speaks. And that says it all. I offer here the sixth volume of New Old Sayings. I don’t end this book by saying, “Thus said the Lord.” I do not claim literal inspiration for what is contained within these pages. However, I do believe and proclaim that God speaks to me. How does He speak to me? He speaks to me primarily through His Word as contained in the Bible. And I believe He will speak to anyone ...

This book completes the trilogy of books Faith, Hope, and Love. These books were written with two goals. One, that they encourage and deepen the faith of my brothers and sisters who have already confessed with their lips that Jesus is Lord and believed in their heart that God raised Him from the dead and are therefore members of the Body of Christ. And two, that these books will be used as outreach tools. Each word was prayerfully placed with the hope that they will be a blessing somehow, to someone, somewhere. That they will be a step along the road to salvation in and through Jesus Christ.

While neither the first nor the last Hippie, Backstreet was in many ways the quintessential Hippie. Today the Hippie experience has been glamorized and sanitized by the dreaming of the young and the gleaning of the old. When confronted with the word "Hippie" most people today would respond with words such as, "peace, love, communes, and togetherness," Backstreet was only into peace and love (as he used to say), "Upside your head." And while he played and partied through a number of communes, and while he constantly had large crowds of people living at his various homes his most telling ...

In this book Dr. Owens offers his opinions and predictions about what is currently happening in America and where we as a nation are going. It ends with what he believes is the only solution to the dissolution of the Constitution and the decay the world’s last best hope for freedom: the United States of America as a representative federal republic built upon democratic principles.

The Lie of Lazy exposes the twenty-billion-dollar lie that's keeping millions of intelligent, capable people trapped in cycles of shame, optimization, and self-blame. If you've ever spent more time perfecting your productivity system than actually producing work, this book will fundamentally change how you understand human functioning. Robert C. Owens spent two decades interviewing chronic procrastinators, studying neuroscience research, and documenting his own spectacular failures to discover an uncomfortable truth: most "productivity problems" are actually depression symptoms wearing ...

A Revolutionary Approach to Understanding and Working with Your Procrastinating Brain What if everything you've been told about beating procrastination is backwards? After twenty years studying why intelligent, capable people sabotage themselves, researcher Robert C. Owens discovered the uncomfortable truth: procrastination isn't about time management—it's about terror management. Your brain treats that blank document like a charging bear, and no amount of productivity hacking can override millions of years of evolutionary wiring. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience and thousands of ...
