Book excerpt: God has a plan for your life. More often than not, it’s a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. Which nobody likes. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. Detours are a good thing that often feels bad. Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us. Using examples from the life of Joseph, Tony will leave readers with answers to the following questions: How do you find the destiny God has designed for your life? How can you make the most of the detours God has planned for you? Is there a way to shorten a detour and speed up your progression in life? What is the purpose of a detour?

Download or read book To Home We Come written by Thomas McGrath and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the lessons that Operation Desert Storm taught is that the American people have an almost insatiable thirst for adventure. When it involves our warriors, when it pits them against the Forces of Evil, and when it takes place in an exotic environment we, can't seem to get enough. And when we win-Watch Out! To Home We Come, an historical novel set in the late 60's, captures this spirit of adventure. The events of that turbulent decade primed the pump for the flood of changes that reverberates to this day. It was a time when Good and Evil were not so clearly defined, when the victories came not from the heights of power but from the within the ranks, not from the Politicians and the Generals but from the student demonstrators and the lowly grunts. It was a time when history was a special secretive thing and no one person knew it all. To Home We Come provides a ground-eye-view of a small piece of this vast and colorful mosaic.

Download or read book Republic of Detours written by Scott Borchert and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice | Winner of the New Deal Book Award An immersive account of the New Deal project that created state-by-state guidebooks to America, in the midst of the Great Depression—and employed some of the biggest names in American letters The plan was as idealistic as it was audacious—and utterly unprecedented. Take thousands of hard-up writers and put them to work charting a country on the brink of social and economic collapse, with the aim of producing a series of guidebooks to the then forty-eight states—along with hundreds of other publications dedicated to cities, regions, and towns—while also gathering reams of folklore, narratives of formerly enslaved people, and even recipes, all of varying quality, each revealing distinct sensibilities. All this was the singular purview of the Federal Writers’ Project, a division of the Works Progress Administration founded in 1935 to employ jobless writers, from once-bestselling novelists and acclaimed poets to the more dubiously qualified. The FWP took up the lofty goal of rediscovering America in words and soon found itself embroiled in the day’s most heated arguments regarding radical politics, racial inclusion, and the purpose of writing—forcing it to reckon with the promises and failures of both the New Deal and the American experiment itself. Scott Borchert’s Republic of Detours tells the story of this raucous and remarkable undertaking by delving into the experiences of key figures and tracing the FWP from its optimistic early days to its dismemberment by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. We observe notable writers at their day jobs, including Nelson Algren, broke and smarting from the failure of his first novel; Zora Neale Hurston, the most widely published Black woman in the country; and Richard Wright, who arrived in the FWP’s chaotic New York City office on an upward career trajectory courtesy of the WPA. Meanwhile, Ralph Ellison, Studs Terkel, John Cheever, and other future literary stars found encouragement and security on the FWP payroll. By way of these and other stories, Borchert illuminates an essentially noble enterprise that sought to create a broad and inclusive self-portrait of America at a time when the nation’s very identity and future were thrown into question. As the United States enters a new era of economic distress, political strife, and culture-industry turmoil, this book’s lessons are urgent and strong.

Book excerpt: Detours to the Good Stuff is an epic and gripping true story of a young woman and her family s unforgettable journey to find peace and happiness. The road ahead was littered with obstacles that oftentimes appeared impossible to avert, but despite the many unavoidable detours that changed the course of their lives, Katie never lost sight of the potential rewards at the end of their relentless expedition. In the early 1960s, Katie Wiederman was a well-bred, corn-fed, Midwestern teenager, blessed with beauty and brains, a loving family, close friends and aspirations, complemented by a steady older boyfriend with a groovy car. The attractive high-school senior was living the all-American dream, the envy of all her friends, and she seemed to have it all until one dreary April morning, when her world spiraled out of control. A teenaged pregnancy at the age of 17 was never a consideration in Katie s long-range plans, and the last thing her parents had ever anticipated from their youngest child. At the urging of her parents and her church, Katie married her steady beau, Darren Munson, shortly after her 18th birthday, in May of 1963. The newlyweds subsequently rented a house near Katie s parents in Huntington, Minnesota, where they decided to raise their forthcoming child together as a family. Just a few short months after their wedding, however, during an intense Minnesota heat wave in the summer of 63, Katie noticed her husband starting to change. Darren was just 21, but he was already becoming a very angry young man, even though he didn t drink or use drugs. Katie couldn t understand why the charming boy she had met at the New Year's Eve party less than a year before had changed so drastically. Although she tried desperately to become the pleasing wife her husband had envisioned, the young bride fell short of Darren s unreasonable expectations. Katie, in turn, grew increasingly despondent and fearful, as her husband was constantly critical and belittling, comparing Katie to his mother (the perfect homemaker), which infuriated his new bride. Concealing her pain from everyone, there came a time when she could no longer hide. Darren s rage had taken control, and when he unleashed his anger upon his pregnant wife, Katie had no choice but to flee. Strengthened by the love of her supportive parents, Katie divorced her husband and moved back home, where she gave birth to a son in December of that year. That wasn t the end of Darren Munson, not by any means. In fact, that was only the beginning of a dramatic and traumatic journey for Katie, after she had remarried her ex-husband and bore three more daughters. Sadly, history was doomed to repeat itself, and Katie found herself divorced from her estranged ex-husband once again. With her four young children in tow, Katie relocated her young family to their new home in a small rural town in southeastern Minnesota. In the comfort of her new surroundings, Katie presumed that she, along with her son and three baby girls, were safe from harm s way. She believed they had escaped the iniquity from her past and were free to begin a renewed and happy life together. December 2, 1967, was a very special day for Katie Munson, but while she prepared for her son s fourth birthday party, nothing could have prepared her for the unforeseeable winter storm that was blowing in her direction, or the unspeakable terror that accompanied it "
