Download or read book My Favorite Teacher Was an Ironworker written by Rick Taylor and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Rick Taylor had delivered many babies as a doctor but he learned that being a parent was much more important and special than being a doctor when he watched the birth of his son. This very ordinary experience began an extraordinary journey shared by father and son. "Lessons of Life" meanders through the lives of Dr. Taylor and his son while exposing the unlikely situations where surprising lessons are learned. The value of the lessons is not in their uniqueness as much as in the pedestrian nature of their occurrence. Father and son each survive first loves, near death experiences and personal quests to find a place in life. The comparison of these experiences and the lessons learned provide readers with moments of joy as well as sadness. It is the familiarity of these events that remind readers to recognize their own lessons and appreciate their teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face-not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the who did it? isn't nearly as important as the why?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessica Verdi, the author of My Life After Now and The Summer I Wasn't Me, returns with a heartbreaking and poignant novel of grief and guilt that reads like Nicholas Sparks for teens. It's all Ryden's fault. If he hadn't gotten Meg pregnant, she would have never stopped her chemo treatments and would still be alive. Instead he's failing fatherhood one dirty diaper at a time. And it's not like he's had time to grieve while struggling to care for their infant daughter, start his senior year, and earn the soccer scholarship he needs to go to college. The one person who makes Ryden feel like his old self is Joni. She's fun and energetic—and doesn't know he has a baby. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep his two worlds separate. Finding one of Meg's journals only stirs up old emotions. Ryden's convinced Meg left other notebooks for him to find, some message to help his new life make sense. But how is he going to have a future if he can't let go of the past? "Ryden's story is a moving illustration of how sometimes you have to let go of the life you planned to embrace the life you've been given. A strong, character-driven story that teen readers will love."—Carrie Arcos, National Book Award Finalist for Out of Reach

Download or read book The Apology of a Sex Offender written by An Offender and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm not the scum of the earth. Because five minutes of my life could never define who I am as a person and what I hope to achieve in life. My story is not meant to garner support for sick criminals who make no attempt to rejoin the society that has rejected them. However, there are those of us that are five, seven, ten, and in my case, fourteen years out from having a felony conviction. Yet I'm still being prosecuted for being too poor to own a home or pay rent reliably for stability purposes, so I face failure to register with authorities I don't even need to register with. To top it off, I'm considered a liar because they charged me with forgery. Who would you believe? A detective or a sex offender? There's always more to a story than just one perspective. I am someone's son, and I have four children of my own. I know life isn't fair, but what did my children do to deserve a father who's fired from job after job because of a past that wasn't their fault? Take a moment to ask yourself what you would do for your child. I've paid into social security from over thirty-five jobs. Imagine having to fill out hundreds of applications and listing over thirty-five jobs you got and then lost in a thirteen-year time frame. But my children are worth that and so much more. That's what this book means to me; it's not just a chance at failure, but a chance at real success for the first time in my life.

Download or read book River of Fire written by Gary T. Brideau and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Oh, one more thing. Admiral Sam wants to know, if you need back-up.” “Great! The more, the merrier.” A minute later, Sam appeared next to Debbie, clad in his long cloak and wide brimmed hat and asked, “When does the fun, begin?” Debbie instantly snapped to attention and saluted. “Hold on there, cadet. Don’t go military, on me. Relax, we’re in the field.” Calistus explained, “We have to stop, about two dozen men and two gun boats, before sunup. Su should be sending a large tank of flammable solvent, through a portal, any moment now. But, I haven’t seen any guards as of yet.” A horizontal portal opened twenty, feet above the water and a large metal tank slipped through unnoticed, and hovered just above the water to close to their position. Calistus sighed and said, “I can’t ignite it there, it’ll fry us all.” “I'm on it,” whispered Debbie, eager to show off, for the admiral. As she dove in the water and pushed the container into position. Just then, a pirate poked his head out of one of the gun ships, spotted something moving and hollered, “Who’s there?” And began to fire at the tank of flammable solvent, igniting it into a ball of fire. That swiftly spread over the water turning, the inlet into a river of fire. Debbie quickly dove underwater, to avoid getting hit. But she was struck in the side, before she could react. She struggled desperately to stay afloat, and managed to make it to shore, where she collapsed. Calistus hollered, “Sam, let’s try and get them in a crossfire!” In minutes, the camp was swarming with pirates, firing at anything that moved. After a ten-minute gun battle, the pirates strapped Debbie’s limp body, to a tree and the leader hollered, “Drop your weapons and surrender, or the woman dies!” “Sam, they’ve got Debbie! Hold your fire!” The two men approached the pirates, with their hands and guns over their heads, Sam whispered, “Protective shields on, weapons on stun, once we reach Debbie, we position ourselves in front of her, to protect her, then, we let 'em have it.” As they reached Debbie, the men quickly spun around, Calistus hollered, as he leveled his rifle at the pirates, “I think it’s you, who should surrender!” Laughter suddenly broke out, amongst the crowd, mocking Calistus’s bold statement. Sam shouted, “Fire!” Blasts of energy streaked through the night rapidly finding their marks as bullets ricocheted off their shields. Once silence reined, Calistus glanced at Sam and inquired, “What's wrong?” “I was hoping for a knockdown, drag out, gun fight. Instead, all we got, was a bunch of wimps!” “Whatever, Sam. Why don’t you round them up, before they come to, while I take care of Debbie.” Carefully untying her and lying her on the ground, Calistus contacted Moon Base One, “Su, I need you here and fast, cadet Debbie’s been injured.” Seconds later, Su appeared, then, hollered, as she dove for the ground, firing her pistol “Look out!” A blast of energy struck the would-be assassin, liquefying his body into a yellow-brown ooze, which swiftly seeped into the sand. Su quickly returned, with Debbie. Sam bellowed “A little help, here, if you don’t mind!” Having the prisoners tied up, Sam surveyed the pirates and commented “What a motley crew they are. Do you think we’ll get any information, out of 'em, Cal?” “Nope! None of them, look like, they have the brains to come up with a strategy, as complex as this. Deb did mention about Norm, who tried to waste her. He’s probably their contact.” “How are we going to locate one person, in this jungle? ” questioned a frustrated Sam. “Sam, you’re slipping in your old age. Deb mentioned that she was washed up on the beach after the ship was destroyed. That should be on the other side of the island.” Calistus contacted Su and inquired, “Can you contact the nearest coast guard, and inform them about the bunch of pirates, we have tied up. Then, see if you can bounce a signal off one of Earth’s satelli
