Download or read book Contrary to Rumor I m Wonderfully Made written by Nanthalia W. McJamerson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-05-06 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many life stories are represented in this book that is presented as a poetic autobiography. The author uses the poetic "voice" to announce that we are all "wonderfully made" despite being told or treated otherwise. Although there is anger, pain and protest on the pages, there is also love, pleasure and power included. The book is both cultural autobiography and poetry therapy. It is both sad and sassy. The goal is for the reader to leave the work with a new sense of priceless value. What is most interesting is that the author gets to your heart and brain with powerful poetry that can assist you with self expression and empowerment.
Download or read book The Beginning and End of John Jefferson High School written by Phyllis Hogan and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing—I mean nothing—could stand in the way of achieving my goal of preserving the history of success despite the challenges of segregation at John Jefferson High School. It didn’t matter that my resources were very limited. There was a sense of urgency! I believe God chose a “little nobody” like me to preserve this history before it is lost forever. Writing this book was no easy task; however, the research was an amazing experience. In the beginning, some former students were reluctant to talk and to share their few treasured pictures with me. On the other hand, some were excited to share. When I started on this journey, I didn’t have a computer. Also, because of arthritis, I would often have to straighten my fingers and continue to write. Pain was ignored; I was on my unstoppable mission. Another challenge I met was dealing with my job. At times, I would get so exhausted that I would have to stop working on the book for a while. When graduates finally opened up, they would talk to me on the telephone for hours. They could not stop talking. An additional problem was limited funds. I had to use paper from my old school and work tablets to handwrite information. Finally, I knew that I would need help with typing and editing, and God blessed me with Mrs. Deanna Issac, Dr. Nanthalia McJamerson, and Dr. Gwendolyn Duhon. I had faith that I could accomplish this task, this mission. Now, the rest is history.

The overall purpose of this book is to take the mystery out of success so that more persons can seek it and find it. It is not only designed for the general life success of anyone but also for use in school achievement. Current classroom educators call the work in Reconstructing Lives “a dynamic package deal” for implementing rigorous and relevant curriculum. The project offers proof of the effectiveness of an organic, time-tested project that can meet the national demand for preparing college and career ready students through Common Core State Standards (CCSS). From Reconstructing Lives, a student workbook was created titled Re-Make an Icon So You Can Become One. If you are already or want to become a Success Builder then this book will provide focus and strategies in six specific areas: Did you identify, cultivate or enhance a talent or skill in someone’s life today? Did you help someone see new possibilities or set and strive to reach goals today? Did you make someone feel important, special or loved today? Did you teach someone to perform at a level of excellence today? Did you help someone gain deeper intellectual, spiritual, or emotional understanding today? Did you provide an opportunity for or destroy an obstacle to someone’s progress today?

Download or read book On the Shoulders of Our Ancestors written by Jimmy McJamerson Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Shoulders of Our Ancestors is an individual effort to articulate that Africans and African-Americans are achievers, that our history is one of being contributors to society instead of destroyers, that playing the “dozens” or “snapping” is unacceptable in our communities. Our history is not one of killing each other, nor is it one of negativism, but rather it is one of strength, hope, achievement, excellence and creativity. On the Shoulders of Our Ancestors seeks to redirect our youth’s miseducation through reminders of African-American achievement in the form of studying history through the poetic form.
Download or read book The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump written by Rob Sears and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last decade, Rob Sears has been painstakingly combing the words of Donald J. Trump for signs of poetry. To the surprise of many, he has found riches. By simply cutting up and reordering lines from Trump’s tweets, Truths and transcripts, Sears has unearthed a trove of exquisite verse that was just waiting to be found. In this expanded edition of a poetry classic, fans can rediscover a writer of rare conviction (thirty-four felony charges and counting), and for the first time ponder the full span of Trump's artistic flowering and the paradoxes it poses. Like: How can one and the same person unite critics with beautiful poems, yet prove so divisive in his 'other life' as a political leader? And how can a man many consider desperately flawed produce works of such grace as 'All I ask is fairness', 'My hands are normal hands' and 'Shithole countries'? The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump is a carefully curated collection for our times that will make a thought-provoking addition to any poetry-lover’s library.

Download or read book Rumors of a Coup written by Ernesto Uribe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rumors of a Coup is set in a fictitious coca-producing Latin American republic that is in the hands of a ruthless military dictator. The novel has all the contemporary drama of greed, revolt, murder, and large-scale drug trafficking. It is the ongoing conflict—and sometimes the clandestine cooperation—between military dictators, drug lords, revolutionary guerillas, politicos, and the different American men and women working in these foreign settings. Intermingled with all the intrigue, there is good humor and romantic competition between two American men for the love and attention of a beautiful Latino woman who also happens to be deeply involved with a guerilla movement that is conspiring to overthrow the military dictator for control of the country.

Download or read book Lord I Am Not Worthy written by E. M. Lewis and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a work of historical fiction. The background and setting have been reproduced from historical documents and archeological evidence. Many of the characters are historical figures; some were invented to fit the circumstances. The main source used to construct the background of the novel is the New Testament. I have assumed the historicity of the New Testament, being fully aware that many people dispute this. I make no claim for veracity on behalf of the Gospels; I use them only as historical references. I also used the Jewish historians Flavius Josepus and Philo of Alexandria as sources to describe certain events. The Roman historian, Tacitus, and some minor sources and legends, were also used as sources and are referenced in the chapter notes in the back of the book. The story describes the journey of a Roman soldier, Flavius, stationed in Palestine during the time of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. As he witnesses the birth of a new religion and begins to understand the new moral values he has accepted, he must come to grips with the conflict he now faces between his new religion and loyalty to his country. Returning to Italy after his tour of duty with the Roman Army is over, he finds his new faith carries a price when he has to face the conflict created by its teachings, which begin to upset the prevailing Roman political structure. As he tries to bring justice to pagan Rome, he discovers that the class-conscious Roman State may not yet be ready for the message of the Nazarene.

Download or read book Sons of the Rumour written by David Foster and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sons of the Rumour is nothing short of a dazzling and genre-defying work of genius. Foster retells the tale of the legendary eighth-century King Shahrban of Persia who, furious at his wife's infidelity, has decided to marry and then behead a fresh virgin every day. But then the king meets Scheherazade, a beauty of such wiles and storytelling gifts she manages to entertain the him for 1001 nights, staving off death for both herself and her countrywomen. In the process, she also bears him three sons, wisely educates him in morality and kindness, and eventually convinces him to take her as his lawful wife. Intersecting with the historical tale is the story of Al Morrisey – a middle-aged, Anglo-Irish, former jazz-drumming everyman, on the run from a failed marriage, and cursed with Freudian daydreams of his mother and peculiar nightmares of all things Persian – as he vainly attempts to reconcile the past with the present and reclaim some of his youthful vigour. Ingeniously manipulating the frame tale of the Arabian Nights, and utilising all his narrative gifts of adventurous satire, David Foster has produced a work of fiction like no other. Sprawling, ambitious, explicit but frequently hilarious, Sons of the Rumour is a modern masterpiece, an utterly original novel by one of Australia's greatest living writers, a man who the Sydney Morning Herald critic Andrew Riemer has called Patrick White's worthy successor.
