Download or read book Go Not Knowing Where written by Leonie Van Daalen-Roell and published by Go, Not Knowing Where!. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Leonie van Daalen-Roell's own story of her Aristocratic Dutch family of privilege, glamour and power. She arrived in Central Java not knowing that she was living on one of the last sugar plantations owned by her mother's family in Tjepiring, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) or that this would be the last ten years of the 300 year reign of the Dutch colony. This is not your normal memoire. It is written through the eyes of a young, bright, creative child whose life in a tropical paradise of Java suddenly breaks into pieces as the horror of war and uncertainty of life become her reality. The story intensifies when Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7, 1941. The U.S.A. goes to war with Japan and commensurate with them the Dutch government also declares war on Japan. Everything Leonie holds dear; her home, family, loving servants, treasured animals and all personal comforts, cease to exist. Immediately, her father is called to serve in the war and must leave. The family quickly flees from chaos and mass looting. The plantation house is ransacked and all personal possessions damaged. They are evacuated in the mountains with only fl. 150- and a few family jewels hidden and secured in her mother's belt for future survival. It is a 355 page fast paced, well- written book in English. We follow her unbelievable life journey where her family is separated in different camps, men and boys from woman and children. Humiliation, starvation, and severe punishment were the norm. Rules were rigid; the work was difficult. With few tools they were frequently forced to use their hands. They served as slaves. Survival was challenging due to the cruelty exhibited by the guards. Disease and illnesses weakened the physical body as did an increasing lack of food. Their strong faith in God inspired and fed them spiritually. One is captivated by the ingenuity Leonie exhibited, enduring life in Japanese occupation and internment in East Indies camps. At age 11 she matured overnight. As she observed her mother's declining health and delicate psychology; she took grave risks caring for her mother and as well her sister, Anny and brother, Willem in three concentration camps. All too soon another separation of a family was witnessed as the Japanese guards gathered Willem and all boys over the age of 10 in trucks to be relocated to male camps. Leonie's scholarship and facts of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) wartime history and War of Independence keeps the story flowing while striking a balance between detail and creative expression. She maintains an historian's measured analysis throughout. The book holds one's interest and attention; she enables the reader to be carried into this unfortunate reality and creates comparable landscape to what is happening today in the Middle East. Her story depicting human tragedy, loss and unbelievable conditions is juxtaposed by a silent, resilient and powerful strength. This book contains family photos, original letters to family members at various camps that highlighted the psychological impact and state of mind... as well exhibits a remarkable faith in God to endure. The only book the Japanese allowed prisoners of war to have in their possession was a Bible. Leonie has her father's Bible complete with notes made while enduring slave labor on the 415 km Burma railway. Leonie returned to Holland in 1946 after nearly four years in various camps. Her reentry into life in The Netherlands was full of adjustment. She would return to Tjepiring in 1949 as her father was called back to rebuild the sugar plantation and the economic structure of this region in the midst of danger during the War of Independence. I recommend this book be included in schools, municipal libraries and universities. This is Leonie van Daalen-Roell's first book. She is a Dutch born writer residing in Switzerland.

Download or read book GO WITH YOUR HEAR NOT THE MIND written by DUANE THE GREAT WRITER and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a person goes with their Heart, they are taking the risk into discovering their own Being. Of course, all most all of us go through some type of schooling, which makes sense for the society in which we live, but if we never take the risk to discover our Heart and Being, then we continue on for many more unconscious lifetimes, until we are ready to WakeUp. But, we definitely need RealGuidance to discover who we are and why we are here, moreso than what can be found in any of the Literal Institutions. Young children, live with their Heart and not their head or mind, as they have not been overly conditioned. Nature, and all the creatures in it are the same way, as they are Being with Life, and not working against it or trying to destroy it. Of course, none of us can destroy Life, but we can create things that distort what Life has provided for us on the Earth. The Reality Life IS, is all about Becoming MoreAware from the Heart. www.DuaneTheGreatWriter.Info

Book Where You Go Is Not Who You ll Be

Download or read book Where You Go Is Not Who You ll Be written by Frank Bruni and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read award-winning journalist Frank Bruni's New York Times bestseller: an inspiring manifesto about everything wrong with today's frenzied college admissions process and how to make the most of your college years. Over the last few decades, Americans have turned college admissions into a terrifying and occasionally devastating process, preceded by test prep, tutors, all sorts of stratagems, all kinds of rankings, and a conviction among too many young people that their futures will be determined and their worth established by which schools say yes and which say no. In Where You Go is Not Who You'll Be, Frank Bruni explains why this mindset is wrong, giving students and their parents a new perspective on this brutal, deeply flawed competition and a path out of the anxiety that it provokes. Bruni, a bestselling author and a columnist for the New York Times, shows that the Ivy League has no monopoly on corner offices, governors' mansions, or the most prestigious academic and scientific grants. Through statistics, surveys, and the stories of hugely successful people, he demonstrates that many kinds of colleges serve as ideal springboards. And he illuminates how to make the most of them. What matters in the end are students' efforts in and out of the classroom, not the name on their diploma. Where you go isn't who you'll be. Americans need to hear that--and this indispensable manifesto says it with eloquence and respect for the real promise of higher education.

Book Bad Girls and Boys Go to Hell  or not

Download or read book Bad Girls and Boys Go to Hell or not written by Gloria Neufeld Redekop and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To question the idea of hell as a default destination is to question the entire fundamentalist evangelical worldview. This book does just that. Fundamentalist evangelicalism holds that the Bible is an infallible authority and that all are born in sin. Sinners go to hell, but Jesus, taking their place, died to save them from hell. How did this belief come to be? What were the effects on people brought up with a belief in the reality of hell? What has been the process of people leaving the fundamentalist evangelical movement? In Bad Girls and Boys Go To Hell (or not), Gloria Neufeld Redekop takes us on her own personal journey as she engages a movement in which she was raised, conducting a careful study of the history of fundamentalist evangelicalism, the attachment to a literal-factual interpretation of the Bible, and an analysis of the experience of those who have left the movement.

Book Syd Belton  The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea

Download or read book Syd Belton The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea written by George Manville Fenn and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the novel 'Syd Belton: The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea' by George Manville Fenn, readers are transported to the 19th-century maritime world through the eyes of the titular character, Syd. The book is written in a straightforward and engaging style, filled with vivid descriptions of life at sea and the challenges faced by young sailors. Fenn skillfully weaves elements of adventure, coming-of-age, and moral dilemmas into the narrative, making it a compelling read for both young adult and adult audiences. The novel also offers valuable insights into the historical context of maritime activities during that time period. George Manville Fenn, a prolific Victorian-era author, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a sailor to write 'Syd Belton.' His firsthand knowledge of maritime life brings an authenticity to the story, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the world he creates. Fenn's detailed character development and thematic exploration demonstrate his skill as a storyteller and his deep understanding of human nature. I highly recommend 'Syd Belton: The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea' for readers who enjoy historical fiction, adventure novels, and coming-of-age stories. Fenn's masterful storytelling and insightful portrayal of the challenges faced by young sailors make this book a timeless classic worthy of exploration.

  • Release : 2020-02-25
  • ISBN : 1839742712
  • Pages : 659 pages

Download or read book Do Not Go Gentle written by David MacCuish and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Not Go Gentle, first published in 1960, is a poignant novel about the U.S. Marines in World War II. The book focuses on Norman MacLeod, growing up in the tough Depression-era town of Butte, Montana. After his father succumbs to a mining-related disease, young Norman leaves school and also begins working in the copper mines. Following the death of his closest friend in an mine accident and the moving of his mother and sister to relatives back East, Norman enlists in the Marines. The book follows MacLeod through boot camp, life on and off base, and then to the South Pacific where MacLeod and his fellow Marines face both their fears and the Japanese. On leave in the U.S., Norm visits the wife of a killed comrade, and begins a relationship with her. Filled with gritty scenes and no-holds-barred dialog, Do Not Go Gentle remains a minor classic in the field of novels about men at war.

Book Warning  Go to Hell  or Not

Download or read book Warning Go to Hell or Not written by Terry Case and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, guided by the Holy Spirit, was written to help you fully embrace Jesus, the Christ, as your Savior and your God. Christ means the anointed one. This book, along with Gods Word, is to help you gain a more complete knowledge, understanding, and application of the gospel in your life. This book is to help you gain a strong foundation for your life with God. Christians are to reach unbelievers and introduce them to Christ. My book is about understanding Gods Word to be a born-again believer (salvation). It is for building a strong foundation in the believer that has been in the church. It is for new believers to help build a Christian foundation for fuller understanding to stay focused on our process of Christianity to salvation when we physically die. It is laying out the needed information in a more logical way to get to heaven. God tells you to study to show yourself approved to him. A lot of study is needed. God did not lay it all out in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 order. All need full understanding. All need spiritual maturity to enable full understanding. There is too much confusion in the church, and this will help. The next book will be bringing to light some of the confusion in the church. Gods Word is Gods Word and not always what you have been taught from too many different sources combined with wrong interpretation, leading to your output.
