Download or read book Being Down Looking Up written by Rob Walters and published by Satin. This book was released on 2013-02-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about an unusual journey: a unique journey through everyday surroundings. Rob Walters decided to become a shoeshine boy. He stowed his shoeshine kit, a tent, and a few items of clothing in a trailer, connected the trailer to his push bike and set off from Oxford to visit the old shoe-making cities of middle England. Along the way he polished many shoes, met lots of interesting people, pedalled many miles, and gained a fascinating insight into his own country from a rather unique perspective.Rejected by some, welcomed by many, he polished shoes in shopping centres, solicitor's offices, a kite festival, railway stations, campsites, street corners, and a bewildering selection of pubs. He polished the shoes of dossers, company directors, criminals, Morris dancers, publicans, bikers, policemen, schoolboys, reporters, a bowling green groundsman, an Icelander, and a Latvian – to name just a few. He slept in fields, in woods, and on the edge of golf courses. He was ejected from the Norfolk Show and welcomed into the offices of lawyers and fruit importers.During his journey he met members of the Household Cavalry, topless protestors, a homeless joss stick seller, a man who stole baths in hotels, a submariner, a beaten housewife, a disenchanted solicitor, a rubber recycler, a toyshop owner, and two ghost guides – amongst others. All of them had a story to tell: some sad, some amusing. It is their tales and Rob's own incisive observations that are related in this unusual book. Reading it will transport you to Northampton, the centre of the English shoe making tradition; then through the Fens to East Anglia; back across the country to the Midlands; down along the River Severn to Gloucester; and then over the Cotswolds to Oxford. Progress is at a comfortable cycling pace along the country roads and through the sleepy villages, yet interrupted regularly by diversions into the vibrancy of the cities.

Download or read book Looking Up Looking Down written by Geoff Woods and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am a fifty-year-old married father of two who has spent much of his life (when not interrupted by studying or work) outside, either playing sport or walking in the hills.” Geoff Woods’ first book, Looking Up, Looking Down, explores his adventures in the British hills over the past forty years. Starting as a child on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, Geoff casts a wry eye back on his escapades in some of the more remote parts of Britain. Usually on foot but occasionally on a bike, these, without fail, involve fantastic scenery, remarkable weather, and a trip to the pub with his mates. The central theme of the book is Geoff’s long-term ambition to climb the Munros, Scotland’s 3000-foot mountains. He reflects on some of his more memorable trips, usually at Easter and on the friendships forged over a camping stove and a pint. Although Looking Up, Looking Down is not intended to be a guidebook to the British hills, it is a great way for readers to explore iconic upland areas and hidden gems of our beautiful island. It will appeal to readers who enjoy memoirs and laughing at someone else’s expense, as well as those who have an interest in outward-bound-type activities.

Come and join the amazing journey of one small seed that landed in that barren earth with help from above and below and a dream! With sunshine and rain and other seeds arriving, there could be a garden to grow and bloom. Other seeds did eventually arrive and were eager to join the garden. They all cooperated to help make the garden bloom and thrive, but one day, the original seed looked up at the sky to see a dark-gray cloud appearing over the garden. On the days that followed, anger, blame, and hurtful words were on the rise among those in the garden. “We don’t want you here” and “No differences allowed here” were heard. Tempers flared, and friendships in the garden ended. “How did this happen?” everyone asked. They needed answers, and quickly, or their wonderful garden would disappear! “What do you think made this evil cloud appear? What could be done to make it go away?” Everyone in the garden turned to the original seed, who was wise and trusted. The seed thought for a long time. This was a mystery that had to be solved with everyone’s cooperation, and soon! Find out how the original seed came up with a successful solution to rid the garden of the evil cloud, as well as remind all members of the garden how wonderful their garden had been and would be again.
Download or read book On My Way Down I Looked Up and written by Joyce L. Carelock and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My prayer for those who are reading this book is that the spirit of change will take control of your total being, and drive you from Lodebar to grace. One of the saddest parts about the unexpected challenges that life brings is that, people around you do not always understand what you are suffering or why. This kind of misunderstanding validates why Job maintained his integrity; in his challenges, he said: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him" (Job13:15). Job did what some of us do in suffering; we get the source of our affliction twisted. We blame God for what is wrong, not realizing that what is meant for evil, God meant for our good. We need to learn how to trust God when everything around us is falling apart. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). We must activate this truth during our time of despair. We must trust God even when we cannot trace Him. When everything is pointing in the opposite direction, we need to have our faith in God. No matter what you feel like in your downward state, God is in control. He "works all things after the council of His own will" (Ephesians 1:11). "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalms 30:5). Don't give up or give in to the tactics of the enemy. Joyce Carelock's mission is to bring hope and healing to the wounded through biblical teachings, retreats, seminars and conferences. Her purpose is to encourage people to walk in God's purpose and plan for their individual lives. Motto: "If I Can Have It, God Can Heal It!" www.joycecarelockmin.org
