Book excerpt: In 2009, Jamie Jungers' life exploded into the media spotlight when Tiger Woods crashed his SUV outside his Florida home. Outed in a media frenzy as one of Tiger's ex-mistresses, Jamie's life spiraled into a destructive pattern of drug addiction and darkness that brought her to the brink of death. At 88 pounds and hooked on heroin and meth, she was captured after a dramatic chase by the famed bounty hunting team of Dog and Beth Chapman in one of Beth's final hunts before her death from cancer in 2019. After growing up with the spiritual values of America's heartland, Jamie moved to Las Vegas to begin a modeling career and soon found herself seduced by the glitzy world of celebrity, fame, and money. Before long she had abandoned the principles of faith that had always guided her and descended into a world of compromise and addiction, where anything goes, and nothing was as it seemed.Soon her world became a media circus, with high-profile appearances on the Today Show and a raunchy victory in Howard Stern's "Tiger Woods' Mistress Beauty Pageant" that netted her $75,000 and a diamond ring. The money fueled her opiate addiction and Jamie became a caricature of herself, mocked by the media, betrayed by the people she trusted, and arrested multiple times.Nine years of abusing drugs had stolen her looks and self-worth, and she was enveloped in a swirling darkness that slowly dragged her down a drain of despair. By the time she was rescued by Duane "Dog" Chapman, Jamie was moving between drug houses to score the next hit, convinced her life was over.In a stunning sequence of events, Jamie's life began to turn as she accepted help and entered the rehab that would change her life. Reconnecting with her faith, she found there had been no decision or drug den so dark that she was beyond the light of God's grace. "Captured by Grace" will both surprise and encourage anyone living in darkness from addiction or other challenges. In a world of despair, it is a story of redemption and restoration, an inspiring reminder that even when it does not seem like it, you are never very far from hope.

Download or read book Don t Give Up Don t Give In written by Louis Zamperini and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller More than 100,000 copies in print Completed just two days before Louis Zamperini’s death at age ninety-seven, Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In shares a lifetime of wisdom, insight, and humor from “one of the most incredible American lives of the past century” (People). Zamperini’s story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand’s biography Unbroken and its blockbuster movie adaptation directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, Zamperini reveals with warmth and great charm the essential values and lessons that sustained him throughout his remarkable journey. He was a youthful troublemaker from California who turned his life around to become a 1936 Olympian. Putting aside his track career, he volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into World War II as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission, his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where he survived against all odds, drifting two thousand miles in a small raft for forty-seven days. His struggle was only beginning: Zamperini was captured by the Japanese, and for more than two years he courageously endured torture and psychological abuse in a series of prisoner-of-war camps. He returned home to face more dark hours, but in 1949 Zamperini’s life was transformed by a spiritual rebirth that would guide him through the next sixty-five years of his long and happy life. Louis Zamperini’s Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In is an extraordinary last testament that captures the wisdom of a life lived to the fullest.

Book excerpt: “Perfect for fans of Grace Kelly, royal-watchers, and fans of biographical fiction alike."—PopSugar A Library Reads Pick and Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choice! A life in snapshots… Grace knows what people see. She’s the Cinderella story. An icon of glamor and elegance frozen in dazzling Technicolor. The picture of perfection. The girl in white gloves. A woman in living color… But behind the lens, beyond the panoramic views of glistening Mediterranean azure, she knows the truth. The sacrifices it takes for an unappreciated girl from Philadelphia to defy her family and become the reigning queen of the screen. The heartbreaking reasons she trades Hollywood for a crown. The loneliness of being a princess in a fairy tale kingdom that is all too real. Hardest of all for her adoring fans and loyal subjects to comprehend, is the harsh reality that to be the most envied woman in the world does not mean she is the happiest. Starved for affection and purpose, facing a labyrinth of romantic and social expectations with more twists and turns than Monaco’s infamous winding roads, Grace must find her own way to fulfillment. But what she risks--her art, her family, her marriage—she may never get back.

Download or read book Amazing Grace written by Eric Metaxas and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazing Grace tells the story of the remarkable life of the British abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759-1833). This accessible biography chronicles Wilberforce's extraordinary role as a human rights activist, cultural reformer, and member of Parliament. At the center of this heroic life was a passionate twenty-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle Wilberforce won in 1807, as well as efforts to abolish slavery itself in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833. Metaxas discovers in this unsung hero a man of whom it can truly be said: he changed the world. Before Wilberforce, few thought slavery was wrong. After Wilberforce, most societies in the world came to see it as a great moral wrong. To mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade, HarperSanFrancisco and Bristol Bay Productions have joined together to commemorate the life of William Wilberforce with the feature-length film Amazing Grace and this companion biography, which provides a fuller account of the amazing life of this great man than can be captured on film. This account of Wilberforce's life will help many become acquainted with an exceptional man who was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America.
