Download or read book One Weekend a Month My Ass written by Sgt. Joseph Berlin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written from a collection of journal entries I kept during my training in California before I went overseas to serve in Iraq, copies of letter I sent home to my two daughters and school that I taught at when activated, as well as some stories that I wrote about my experiences. There are some facts that are incorrect in this book but I kept them in because they were the truth to me at the time. The letters are mostly word for word as they were written and sent. I have included pictures that go along with my writings that help to show, as well as explain, what I experienced. I have changed or omitted the names of people to protect their privacy. I was not a hero, nor was I involved in any large fighting that took place in Iraq. I was just a fifty-three year old man, close to my twenty-year letter for retirement in the National Guard who happened to be sent to war in Iraq. I dont pretend to be brave or have any deep meaning to my experiences. I just want to share an average story of an average soldier in Iraq. Sgt. Joseph Berlin (ret.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adlee Getting passed over for a promotion to someone way less qualified is making me want to quit this company altogether. I won’t be treated this way, forced to continue to be some jerk’s secretary. But when that less qualified bimbo has an accident at our Christmas party, I’ve been moved into the role I wanted to begin with. But, once I’m told that I’ll have to attend the annual week-long business trip at the owner’s ski lodge, I try to come up with any excuse in the book. I may live in Colorado, but I do not like the snow or snow sports. But Kelton Fox will not hear it. It’s bad enough the cocky ex-hockey player-turned-billionaire looks like some kind of sports god, but to be around him constantly for a full week? I’ll surely be out of a job by the end of the week since I can’t resist flirting with him, and I’m sure he’ll have none of that. Kelton After my secretary retired, I wasn’t crazy about the pool of applicants, but settled on the blonde instead of Adlee Phillips. There was no way I could work in close proximity with the brunette day in and day out. I’d surely catch some kind of harassment case. But now I’m forced to bring Adlee with me on the annual board members’ trip to my ski lodge, and I have no idea how I’m going to keep it professional around her. She’s absolutely gorgeous, and just having her in the main offices is hard enough day in and day out. Little did I know that along with beauty, she has brains, which makes her even harder to resist. How am I going to maintain control around her for a full week? It turns out that is way harder than I thought it would be. Holidays with the Billionaire is a standalone Christmas novel for readers 18+.

Download or read book A Happy Holiday written by Cecilia Morgan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-06-28 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most revealing things about national character is the way that citizens react to and report on their travels abroad. Oftentimes a tourist's experience with a foreign place says as much about their country of origin as it does about their destination. A Happy Holiday examines the travels of English-speaking Canadian men and women to Britain and Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It describes the experiences of tourists, detailing where they went and their reactions to tourist sites, and draws attention to the centrality of culture and the sensory dimensions of overseas tourism. Among the specific topics explored are travellers' class relationships with people in the tourism industry, impressions of historic landscapes in Britain and Europe, descriptions of imperial spectacles and cultural sights, the use of public spaces, and encounters with fellow tourists and how such encounters either solidified or unsettled national subjectivities. Cecilia Morgan draws our attention to the important ambiguities between empire and nation, and how this relationship was dealt with by tourists in foreign lands. Based on personal letters, diaries, newspapers, and periodicals from across Canada, A Happy Holiday argues that overseas tourism offered people the chance to explore questions of identity during this period, a time in which issues such as gender, nation, and empire were the subject of much public debate and discussion.

Download or read book In the Face of Fear written by Barry Boyce and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us have never experienced such deep anxiety and uncertainty in the world as we are in these current times; this anthology of Buddhist teachings offers an antidote. While we can’t control the home foreclosures, job losses, dwindling savings, and the other myriad challenges facing our society, Buddhism teaches us that there is one thing we can always control: our own state of mind. How we react to the ups and downs of life makes all the difference, and Buddhism offers a wealth of wisdom and practices to help us maintain a stable, wise, and helpful state of mind no matter what happens. In the Face of Fear shows us how to • remain open, joyful, and caring, even when life is stressful • avoid old behavior patterns that only make things worse • access our innate confidence and fearlessness • turn difficult times into opportunities for spiritual development • learn why caring for others is the best way to relieve our own suffering • discover that our true nature is always awake, wise, and good, no matter what is happening This anthology features the greatest contemporary Buddhist teachers and writers—people renowned for addressing precisely the problems we’re facing today—including the Dalai Lama, Pema Chödrön, Thich Nhat Hanh, Chögyam Trungpa, Sylvia Boorstein, Jack Kornfield, Norman Fischer, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sharon Salzberg, and many others.

Download or read book Agnes Among the Gargoyles written by Patrick Flynn and published by Bitingduck Press LLC. This book was released on 2002 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agnes among the gargoyles is a novel steeped in the lore of New York City. The engine of the novel is the love of the city felt by the book's protagonist, Agnes Travertine, an architectural preservationist. Agnes is the sort of person who spies a dignified sliver of the Woolworth Building behind some formless modern building and thinks of "a line of lace slip showing at the bottom of a gaudy dress." Agnes is painted on a broad social canvas and tackles big themes, the lure of the past and the ultimate failure of nostalgia, the resonance of place, the dangerous mysteries of love and sex.

Download or read book An Undevotional written by Jimmy R. Watson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the same spirit as his previous book, Big Jesus, Watson takes us on a journey through the Gospel of Luke with a touch of humor and a wheelbarrow full of insights and information. Watson believes nothing is more pretentiously self-pious than to write something and call it a “devotional” unless one has already been canonized as a saint. An Undevotional is not a spoon-fed offering of theological niceties, but rather a head-spinning array of possibilities into the mind and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth with contemporary applications. At times irreverent, at all times interesting, this book is un-indispensable for Jesus devotees and un-devotees alike.
