Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Larson began delivering newspapers in his hometown of Boone, Iowa, when he was ten years old. One afternoon while walking his paper route he looked up in the sky and noticed a narrow, white cloud developing behind an airplane. Although he had never seen a contrail before, he knew what it was. What he did not know is how the advancements in jet aircraft would revolutionize travel and enable a young Iowa paper carrier to one day explore all seven continents. He hiked, canoed, rode motorcycles, and traveled in automobiles, planes, trains, and ships. In a fascinating chronicling of his travels from 1969 to 2019, Philip Larson shares a glimpse into his global adventures as he journeyed from the frozen lakes of arctic Canada to the outback of Australia to the barren Namib desert of western Africa as well as many more destinations. As he leads other travel adventurers through his vast experiences, Larson details a frigid New Year’s Eve camping trip in northern Minnesota, an one-hundred and eighty-mile trek on the back trails of Nepal, a memorable campsite in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula as a typhoon blew in from the Sea of Okhotsk, and much more. A Few Memorable Days is the travel log of an experienced adventurer as he explored the world over five decades in some of its most inaccessible places.

Book excerpt: “[A] well–edited collection . . . More than friends and less than lovers, Salter and Phelps were literary soul mates.” —Publishers Weekly It was James Salter’s third novel, A Sport and a Pastime—together with his film Three and a script he had written for Downhill Racer—that in 1969 prompted Robert Phelps to write a letter of admiration. Though the two writers didn’t know each other, their correspondence went on to span decades. The letters themselves are exceptionally alive, uninhibited, gossipy, touching, and brilliant. The successes of Salter and the struggles of Phelps are fully explored by the writers themselves in the kind of honest exchange only letters can divulge. With an insightful foreword by Michael Dirda, this book gives voice to a nearly forgotten figure and his friendship with a man he admired.

Download or read book The Signs For A New Life written by Francisco J. Patino and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer presents with innumerable details this incredible narrative as an autobiography and as a testimony of his recent medical experiences that includes two surgeries he had suffered in the last few years. In a much-simplified way, he endeavors to explain the relationship that exists between the signs he had been receiving and his illnesses. Even though he has had a successful life, he feels that somehow he is not completely happy with the results. Throughout his journey, he discovers that there are no coincidences in life and that everything happens for a reason. He also finds out that God is always trying to communicate with him, and us, by way of many different signs and messages; however due to our busy schedules, we don't often listen to them, or tend to discard them as unimportant. For many months, the author suffers an internal transformation that unexpectedly makes him happy and which also allows him to experience a gradual change in his spirituality. The inner changes and spiritual evolution that he sees from within motivates and gives him a new purpose for living. He also realizes the immense need to give thanks to God every day for all the blessings he has received. As this exciting drama unfolds, and consequences develop after being able to decipher the meaning of the signs and finding out that God had truly been with him throughout his life, he considers it a duty and a promise to God to explain his testimony in writing, not only for his family and friends but for anyone who desires a spiritual transformation. The story contemplates the universal human questions of how, when, why, what, and where this experience could take place. This narrative is a true story written without exaggeration or drama. The story is a testimony of what actually happened to the author and is therefore identified with our human spirituality, obviously by making a great emphasis on the importance and of the need to find God. His story, The Signs for a New Life, perhaps to some, might be controversial due to the reader's own speculations, ideas, perceptions, and, certainly, religious beliefs.
