Book excerpt: Set in a 21st century South Florida, Everyday Folks: A Short Story Collection, is a journey into the lives of everyday people.

In “Waiting for an Appointment”, a young man’s visit to the doctor proves to be anything other than regular. In “Miccosukee”, a mother and daughter’s encounter with a celebrity makes for a laughable bonding experience. In “Near the Shore’s Edge”, a middle-aged man chooses to make the ultimate decision that may change his life. For 15 years, Everyday Folks has delivered fictional, short stories about everyday people who experience life’s challenges, opportunities, or complexities... in ways only the common people will understand

Download or read book Just Everyday Folks written by L.R. Warner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In L.R. Warners latest publication, Just Everyday Folks, An Adirondack Family 1925 1950, she chronicles the life of her family living in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State during that era. Follow the story of a father who swore it was his duty as a man to make a living for his family, independent from outside help. With this belief came the idea it was his civil right to procure whatever could be gleaned from the land, regardless of environmental rules and regulations. This attitude quickly led to trouble. See a mother as a determined woman able to make do with whatever was available, and expand on any opportunity existing. Death is so very much a part of life, she told her children, conditioning them to face-up to whatever fate had in store. Two brothers age from youthful shenanigans, to walk in their fathers footsteps while learning to hunt, trap, and fish. Everyday living meant having no electricity, no indoor plumbing or centralized heating. Communication was only by snail-mail, which was often read as history by the time it was received. Babies were born at home. Illness was treated with simple remedies, often homemade. Invention was the greater part of recreation. Faith was practiced more through neighborly acts of charity than organized religion. Most holidays recognized today were treated as just another day. These subjects, and others, are written as anecdotes and smack of a life of deprivation for the family, yet as recalled by the author, We did not miss what we never expected to have. L.R. Warners former book, entitled From the Blackest Cloud, is a memorial of life after 1950 for one member of the family. With the Twenty-first Century spirit of giving back, royalties of both books are given to charity; the first to assist children with disabilities in reaching their highest potential, and the second, of Just Everyday Folks, to help brighten the days of residents at an Adirondack nursing home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus' teachings off the printed page and put them into daily practice. Vital aspects of devotion, humility, obedience, hospitality, and evangelism took on new clarity and meaning. Paralleling that experience, Okholm guides the reader on a focused and instructive journey that can revitalize the devotional life of any Christian who wants to slow down and dig deeper.

Download or read book Money Basics For Everyday People written by K.C. Hobbs and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-17 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MONEY BASIC$ FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE was created from a desire that all Americans should have the opportunity to acquire their own personal fortunes and live their dreams. It is not our lack of effort and hard work that keeps us from having our wealth. The problem is that most people lack the knowledge to make their money work for them. Since money principles are not emphasized in schools and most financial books are too complicated and detailed in content, people never learn the basics. The American savings rate has been in decline for the last 65 years and millions of hard working couples are now retiring at or just above the poverty level. This book is designed to give basic money information that everyday people can understand and really put to use. The purpose of MONEY BASIC$ for EVERYDAY PEOPLE is to provide simple and useable ideas about money concepts that may have been hidden from you. This book will offer insights into how money works that your families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers do not know. You will learn that you don’t have to be a financial wizard to make your money work harder. Below are a few examples: Would you like a bigger tax refund check? Would you like to know how to save for 6 years and you could possibly have your retirement? Would you like to save hundreds of dollars on your insurance premiums? Would you like to know more than most people in America about money? Would you like to finally have your EYES WIDE OPENED to the mystique of finance? These pages are full of proven concepts and ideas to help you achieve your financial goals. I have purposely concentrated only on the most important topics that will explain how to make your money work harder. What you will need to learn is condensed into just FIVE SIMPLE STEPS that will be easy to understand and put into use everyday. By learning and using the FIVE SIMPLE STEPS that are explained in these chapters, you can achieve financial freedom.
