Download or read book September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows written by David Potorti and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a group of people devastated by loss—and inspired to save others from the same heartbreak: “Very personal and moving accounts.”—Publishers Weekly Told through essays and correspondence, this is the tale of Peaceful Tomorrows—an anti-war organization made up of survivors of the 9/11 attacks as well as friends and family members of those who died that day. In the midst of shock, rage, and a rush to war, these are people who, though they had every reason for anger, consciously chose a different path—persisting even as others accused them of naiveté, cowardice, or a lack of patriotism. In the hope of sparing others from the suffering they had endured, they protested the dropping of bombs on civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq, and advocated for nonviolent solutions to the problem of terrorism—to seek justice and problem-solving rather than a cycle of retaliation—and were twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is their remarkable story.

Download or read book Being God s Man in Tough Times written by Stephen Arterburn and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David was to be the future king of Israel. And yet, as you’ll see firsthand in this compelling Bible study, the journey to that goal was filled with dangers, delays, and difficulties. Just like David, every man has a dream of who he wants to become. But getting there is a different story. Hardships and losses can destroy the faith–and even the life–of a lesser man. Many men fail to realize their dreams because they choose comfort over character, image over substance, and escape over endurance. But a man who knows how to embrace hardship and learn to mine it for God’s purposes will see his godly dreams come true. Hardships are inevitable. Embracing them is a choice. God’s dream for you is at stake. And Being God’s Man…in Tough Times will equip you to overcome life’s difficulties in the power and wisdom of God.
Download or read book How the Left Lost Teen Spirit written by Danny Goldberg and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music insider and progressive activist Danny Goldberg has spent decades tuning into the rhythms and voices that speak straight to the hearts and desires of American youth. In that time, one fact has become increasingly clear: America's venerable political leaders are too often tone deaf. In this startling, provocative book, Goldberg shows how today's professional public servants have managed to achieve nothing less that the indefensible, wholesale alienation of an entire generation.

Download or read book Of Grunge Government written by Krist Novoselic and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana—the most heralded and influential rock band of the past 20 years—tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age. From his relationship to Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselic’s passion, intelligence and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book. Though Krist Novoselic will undoubtedly be forever best known as a member of Nirvana, his accomplishments go far beyond that remarkable achievement. Nirvana was a band with a conscience, and as a major label act they regularly played benefits—the first Rock For Choice show, a major concert in support of gay rights, and a legendary gig that raised money for the Balkan Women’s Aid Fund. In 1995, Novoselic founded JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee), a proactive organization that advocated on behalf of Washington state’s music community. Novoselic’s work with JAMPAC helped Seattle club owners find ways to host all-ages shows and was instrumental in helping to overturn the infamous Teen Dance Ordinance. And sometimes making music and making a statement go hand in hand, as when Novoselic, Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and drummer Gina Mainwal backed Jello Biafra as the “No W.T.O. Combo” at a show performed during the World Trade Organization conference held in Seattle in 1999. There have been other musical endeavors since Nirvana, as well as new causes (Novoselic is a strong -supporter of electoral reform, an issue he writes about extensively on his website www.fixour.us). The one constant is Novoselic’s desire to continue making progressive contributions to the community—and to keep on making good music. Krist Novoselic currently lives in Seattle, Washington.
