Download or read book A Good Kind of Trouble written by Lisa Moore Ramée and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From debut author Lisa Moore Ramée comes this funny and big-hearted debut middle grade novel about friendship, family, and standing up for what’s right, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give and the novels of Renée Watson and Jason Reynolds. Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she’d also like to make it through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.) But in junior high, it’s like all the rules have changed. Now she’s suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she’s not black enough. Wait, what? Shay’s sister, Hana, is involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that’s trouble, for real. "Tensions are high over the trial of a police officer who shot an unarmed Black man. When the officer is set free, and Shay goes with her family to a silent protest, she starts to see that some trouble is worth making." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

Download or read book Becoming Who I Am written by Ritch C. Savin-Williams and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proud, happy, grateful—gay youth describe their lives in terms that would have seemed surprising only a generation ago. Yet many adults, including parents, seem skeptical about this sea change in perceptions and attitudes. Even in an age of growing tolerance, coming out as gay is supposed to involve a crisis or struggle. This is the kind of thinking, say the young men at the heart of this book, that needs to change. Becoming Who I Am is an astute exploration of identity and sexuality as told by today’s generation of gay young men. Through a series of in-depth interviews with teenagers and men in their early 20s, Ritch Savin-Williams reflects on how the life stories recorded here fulfill the promise of an affirmative, thriving gay identity outlined in his earlier book, The New Gay Teenager. He offers a contemporary perspective on gay lives viewed across key milestones: from dawning awareness of same-sex attraction to first sexual encounters; from the uncertainty and exhilaration of coming out to family and friends to the forming of adult romantic relationships; from insights into what it means to be gay today to musings on what the future may hold. The voices hail from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, but as gay men they share basic experiences in common, conveyed here with honesty, humor, and joy.
Download or read book Redemption written by Kandace Thomas and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I became a Christian at the early age of seven. Since then, God and I have been inseparable, but this does not mean that I did not struggle and suffer. God chose me at a young age to carry out his purpose and from a young age, even until now I have been an outcast and tossed to the side by people I loved dearly. I have lived through physical violations, insecurities, and verbal abuse. As I grew up, I became walking toxic, so broken and afraid to pick myself up. Pain was all I knew. That is until God told me I had to speak for those like me. It turns out everyone is hurting, looking for solutions. I didn't realize that I had the solution to my problems with me ever since I was a young girl. God showed me how to accept redemption from him so that I could teach others how to live as they walk with Christ. Holding nothing back, I have put my imperfect walk with Christ on display for everyone to see, vulnerability became my strength. Through my unbelief and blessings, God was unchanging. He only wanted to prepare me for his glory. He wants people to understand that his love for all is unshakable. I am merely a vessel given the strength to tell others how I stopped my heart and soul from aching, how I learned to leave my past behind and accept my future as a redeemed being. My pain was left in the forsaken past. I have had brighter days and more are to come. Redemption: For My Crying Soul is about me dealing with my overwhelming pain and misery by embracing God's character.

Download or read book Love Notes Second Edition written by Ryan T. Dalgliesh and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It doesn't take too long to realize that we struggle with loving like Jesus loved. Where he is patient we are not. Where his compassion overflows our egos are offended. We know the great love our Jesus has for us and yet we find it difficult to pour out that same love on others. Marriage, where love should abound, often feels more like battleground where wounds are inflicted and superficially treated and we wonder if tomorrow will provide a reprieve. In Love Notes we are reminded that unless we really understand what it means to be loved by a faithful God we will never be able to love others well. In a conversational style that leaves you feeling Ryan is sitting right next to you Love Notes takes you on a journey of honest examination and spiritual growth. Conviction is followed up with hope as you come to the place where you recognize that God's love for you will enable you to love well.
