Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Download or read book God S Perfect Timing written by Dr. David Caruth and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-09-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gods Perfect Timing: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty with Education and Faith is about how important events in our lives happen according to Gods timing, not our own. Come with me on a spiritual journey through poverty, child abuse, and my struggle to overcome dyslexia through special education. I share a chilling account of how I survived being struck by lightning at football practice at the beginning of my senior year of high school. After my dream of becoming a professional athlete got shattered, I survived on the streets with dangerous criminals." Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct? (Job 38:35) Lucky to Be Alive For on August 18, Caruth was standing in the defensive backfield during Coronados football practice when an incredible event knocked him right off the football field and literally into medical journals. Dressed in full football gear, Caruth was struck by on the head by a bold of lightning. The bolt burned through protective padding in the helmet at the point where a metal screw was fixed, blacked the neck of his jersey, singed his pants, and left his socks looking as though theyd been treated with a blowtorch. C. W. Nevius Forward By Reverend Alfonso Wyatt I spent my career as an educator, youth developer, advocate, counselor, role model and minister transforming the lives of countless young people caught in tumultuous life circumstances beyond their control or choosing. The aforementioned perspective allows me to understand and appreciate the profound power contained in Gods Perfect Timing: Breaking The Cycle of Poverty with Education and Faith, by Dr. David D. Caruth. Brother Caruth unapologetically takes readers into his world and lays bare horrific childhood events namely: physical/sexual abuse, hunger, deprivation, physical, emotional challenges as well as the need for special education. If this were not enough, David, as a promising high school football player, with dreams of turning pro, was struck by lightning while on the practice field100 players were leveled by the bolt, David was the only one that did not get up. The story could have ended right there with yet another African American child failing to thrive, doomed to living in the now all-too-familiar clutch of poverty, crime, drugs, gangs, incarceration, nihilism and neglector dying too soon. The seeds of failure were clearly sown into the life and psyche of the author. Yet the reader will discover that in the midst of seemingly insurmountable odds, David is able to change the odds. This social miracle was accomplished by seeds planted by Davids mother, namely the seed of faith revealed in the telling of biblical stories like David and Goliath (a Divine metaphor if you will). This book shows educators, faith leaders, policy makers, parents, young people and yes, even the naysayer, how the cycle of poverty, perpetuated by low self-esteem, academic indifference, victim thinking/blaming and dysfunctional family life can be broken once and for all. So beloved, come on the arduous and ultimately triumphant journey of David D. Caruths lifetime. If you accept this invitation please be open to the reality that the same power that found a young boy at his most vulnerable time; the same power that snatched him from the sure grip of death; the same power that helped him overcome staggering life obstacles and receive a terminal degree, is the same power that can change the lives of readersnow that Gods Perfect Timing is in full effect. The Reverend Alfonso Wyatt has four decades of experience developing young people as well as working with public, private, community based youth serving organizations and the faith community involved in the same effort. Reverend Wyatt, a D.Min candidate at New York Theological Seminary, is an ordained Elder on the ministerial staff of The Greater Allen Cathedral of New York and he and his wife are co-authors of Soul Be Free Poems Prose Prayers. Preface Gods Perfect Timing: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty with Education and Faith is about how important events in our lives happen according to Gods timing, not our own. Come with me on a spiritual journey through poverty, child abuse, and my struggle to overcome a learning disability through special education. I share a chilling account of how I survived being struck by lightning at football practice at the beginning of my senior year of high school. After my dream of becoming a professional athlete got shattered, I survived on the streets with dangerous criminals. Throughout my life, my mom, Zelna A. Caruth, was my primary source of strength. She was raised in Chicago and overcame more adversity in her life than anyone I knew. Her father died in a fire when she was 4 years old and her mother passed away when she was 12. As the oldest of four siblings, with two younger sisters and a baby brother, she called Bugs, her childhood ended at a very early age. She was also my most important teacher and source of strength. She taught me not to criticize or judge others until I walked a mile in their moccasins. I understood her lessons, because I had seven older brothers and sisters and one younger sister, and my own shoes had cutout cardboard for bottoms. Like a sponge, I absorbed as much of my moms wisdom as I could. She taught me about the Bible, and to believe that God works in mysterious ways. She let me know early on in life that man would let me down, and that I needed to put my faith and trust in the Lord. If I trusted in the Lord, she would say, and not worry so much about what other people had, only then would I begin to see the miracles that God was performing in my own life. She was right of course. When I look at my own life, there are numerous times, too many to count, when my life could have, and probably should have ended, and God made a miracle happen to keep me going. I also learned that not all miracles are pleasant. Unpleasant miracles are difficult for most of us to grasp. We find it difficult to understand why a loving God would not only allow, but cause unpleasant events to happen in our lives. I questioned my mom about why bad things happened to good people and good things happened to bad people. My moms answer was that, God allowed Jesus to die on the cross, only to raise him from the dead to glorify his own power. She left it to me to figure out the meaning of her words. For most of us, those with children anyway, we find it difficult to imagine allowing our child to be crucified so that the world could bear witness to our power. God help us if our children get injured on fields of play. If our children get hurt, our hearts fill with pain and sadness, and we want the world to see us rush to comfort them. We grow up learning that people who love us should protect us from unpleasant events that occur daily in our own lives. In our house, my brothers and sisters seldom felt protected. What we felt on most days was hunger, jealousy, misery, envy and multiple kinds of abuse. I wrote this book, because I believe that, in spite of the challenges we face and endure day after day, miracles happen every day of our lives; however, most of the time, we dont recognize them when we see them. After reading this book, my hope is that you will begin to see how God works through people to influence the lives of other people. You will learn how to recognize Gods Perfect Timing in your own life, and to take action when the time is right. If God can bring me through poverty, child abuse and special education, back from death and homelessness, to earning a PhD, buying several homes for my family, and sending my children to private school, then you too should be able to have faith that God has a design on your life, and has already blessed you with miracle after miracle.

Download or read book Sandtrap written by Dee-Marie Girman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an amazing story about the Republican Party and how they lost control of the Senate, House of Representatives, the Oval office...and themselves. Terrell Sims is a young African-American pastor catapulted to political success by the Republican Party. As the new mayor of Milwaukee, a predominantly liberal city, Terrell must pave the wave for the moral majority. Each problem Terrell is confronted with is an actual story taken from real-life events in which the media has brushed over, embellished or completely ignored! From the Iran-Contra scandal, to the Iraq war and an out-and-out abuse of political power tilted away from diversity and true democracy, this novel brings entertainment as well as enlightenment from an inner-city perspective. After spending years criticizing his African-American people for their lawlessness, Terrell's very own peers, one at a time, are being exposed for the very issues they profess only exists with minorities and liberal Democrats: divorce, fornication, drug and alcohol abuse, homosexuality, pedophilia, out of control spending, you name it, Terrell's party did it. And now he is forced to reckon with, not only his patriotism toward his country when an African-American gets elected President of the United Stated by Democrats, but his faith in God which is challenged when his wife, Theresa is diagnosed with AIDS. This narrative relives many of the events that led to the demise of the Republican Party as well as the rise of the Democratic Party. This novel does not bash one party for another, rather it is an infectious story about a family who grows into understanding that both parties have fallen short of what they promised to their constituents: Family Values for Republicans and Civil Rights for Democrats. This is my story of how we got to where we are today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi! I’m Jessie Gussman and I get emails all the time from people who spewed their coffee/half-chewed toast/cereal out all over their e-reader. Or who woke up their spouse while reading my newsletter because they were laughing so hard. Or who save my emails until they get home from work because they don’t have the kind of job where howling and rolling on the floor is acceptable conduct. But not every story in this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Some of them will make you cry. Some will make you think. And some of them will make you shake your head and wonder how in the world someone like me has made it through life without being put in a straight jacket and carted away. Not even close. I get paid to write love stories. Lol Life is weird, I agree. I’m a wife, mother and farmer by day, romance novelist by night and in my spare time, I write about my life from prison. Kidding about the prison part. (At the time of this writing, anyway. No one has figured out if there was actually a body in the car that’s buried in my dad’s back yard – that story’s in the book, along with the time I caught myself on fire and my kid was laughing too hard to blow me out, how to charge a 1600 pound, angry mama cow (and why you’d want to), odd Amish courting rituals (involving frogs), and how not to fall out of your husband’s Peterbilt as he’s driving down the interstate.) There is a lot of faith, family and fun in my fiction books, and WARNING: my real life has a ton of all that, too. But life on the farm is not always fun. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it hurts and those stories are in here, too. Thanks so much for choosing to spend a little time with me today! Love, Jessie Reviews for Stories from Jessie Gussman's Newsletter: ★★★★★ "This book of newsletters is actually better described as a collection of short, real-life stories by Jessie that will leave you snorting with laughter, and sometimes, struggling with tears. " - Mari ★★★★★ "I absolutely love Jessie Gussman’s books and I always thought we should have to pay for her newsletters, but thank heavens we don’t. This is a book I highly recommend even if you’ve never read a Jessie book you still enjoy the stories of living on the farm being the mother of four and others and the relationship with her and her husband. An absolute treat." - Janalyn ★★★★★ "I've been reading this book to my husband whenever we're riding in his truck together. We're both loving it! Many laugh out loud moments!" - Amber ★★★★★ "This is a faith-based writing that is so touching that it not only will inspire the reader but entertain you in a clean and wholesome way. Jessie’s real-life stories about her family and life on their farm made my day! This really is a must-read charmer!" - Crystal ★★★★★ "This book had me laughing out loud, crying, and wondering how in the world people can live with themselves sometimes. I truly don't know when Jessie finds time in her life to write, but when she does, it's an experience. I love Jessie's honesty, spirit, love, generosity, human-ness, kindness, parenting style, relationship with God." - Janet Books in the Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter series: 1. Chickens in Canaan Land 2. The Farm on Naked Creek 3. Beef Below the Blue Ridge 4. Stories from the Promised Land

Download or read book The Fire Will Not Consume You Isaiah 43 2B written by James David Parker and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author James David Parkers once thriving professional career was in a nosedive to disaster. His once-profitable investments dragged him to the precipice of financial ruin. The stress of the battle for survival wasted his will. Mental depression trashed his intellect. As a nominal, but skeptical, Christian, he asked: Can Jesus rescue me? Will Jesus deliver me from my earthly hell? And thus began his journeya search for truth. In The Fire Will Not Consume YouIsaiah 43:2b, Parker shares his progression from successful engineer to cynicism, to financial disaster and stress-induced illness, to the spirit-led process of prayer and recovery, and finally, to acknowledgement of his intimate relationship with his creator God. Each chapter in the core of the book begins with a prayer addressing a specific deficit in character or perception. The Fire Will Not Consume YouIsaiah 43:2b chronicles Parkers recovery from mental depression through introspective prayer and Bible study. He offers a guidebook to unleash the unlimited power of God to bring personal peace in prayerful communication with him.

Download or read book MIGHTY HANDS written by Paul T. Entrekin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the completion of an aerobatic maneuver during an airshow in my MiG-15, I was doing a repositioning turn known in aviator parlance as a tuck under break. At approximately 50 feet above the ground and moving at close to 300 miles per hour, upside down and halfway through a roll, with particularly poor timing the (improperly re-installed) instrument panel somehow decided that now would be an appropriate time to release itself onto my feet and lap. Despite all the skill I could muster, momentum inertia and gravity were winning the fight as I, once again, found myself bracing for what I hoped would be a painless demise. And again, I was miraculously pulled from an imminent death by what can only be described as divine intervention – God’s Mighty Hands. This is the story of a life punctuated by victory over adversity through the grace of God.
