Download or read book One Strong Girl written by S. Lesley Buxton and published by Nimbus+ORM. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mother’s award–winning account of what it’s like to lose a daughter to a rare debilitating disease. One Strong Girl is a bold description of what it means to deal with deep sorrow and still find balance and beauty in an age steeped in the denial of death. At ten, India climbed the highest on the rope at gymnastics, yet by sixteen was so weak she was unable to even dress herself. The narrative follows the six-year fight for answers from the medical community. Finally, after the genetic testing of India’s DNA, it was discovered there were two mutations on her ASAH1 gene, a deadly combination. Today her cells are alive in a research lab at the University of Ottawa. This is a legacy that cuts both ways, a point of pride and pain. One Strong Girl is a story of what it’s like to outlive an only child. It describes the intensity of loving a dying child and most importantly, the joy to be found, even amidst the sorrow.

Book excerpt: In the book of Philippians we are told to be anxious over nothing, and yet we are anxious over everything. We worry that our students will be "behind," that they won't score well on the SAT, get into a good college, or read enough of the Great Books. Our souls are restless, anxiously wondering if something else out there might be just a little bit better -- if maybe there is another way or another curriculum that might prove to be superior to what we are doing now. God doesn't call us to this work and then turn away to tend to other, more important matters. He promises to stay with us. He assures us that if we rely on Him alone, then He will provide all that we need. What that means on a practical level is that we have to stop fretting over every little detail. We need to stop comparing. We've got to drop the self-inflated view that we are the be-all-end-all of whether the education we are offering our students is going to be as successful as we hope it is. After all, our job is not to be successful -- success itself is entirely beside the point. It's faithfulness that He wants.

Download or read book A Gloomy Story written by İbrahim Şanlı and published by İbrahim ŞANLI. This book was released on with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet Nevzat, (who likes to be given such titles in front of his name) in his own words, is rasping his life in a job that does not appeal to his personality. Due to his temperament, he does not like simplicity, he exaggerates everything. Even himself. For this reason, he has distanced himself from people so much that; almost reached a summit to look down upon them. But Nevzat is not so alone... His only friend is the portrait of a scholar whom he sits in front of every evening and smokes. When inspiration strikes, he lays on his sofa and writes poems and tries to market them to publisher owners. This mediocre story, revealing its content from its name, tells of a grotesque 21st-century poet who could not keep up with his era.

Book excerpt: A story has endured the darkness for half a century. A single match is enough to light up a dark room that hasn’t seen light for years. The match will fuel the branch, the branch will ignite the log, and the fire will heat the room and our hearts. “Story or fairytale, truth or fantasy, fiction or non-fiction”, the mind asks curiously. “What difference does it make? What really matters is what has been awakened inside you and what you are going to do about it”, the heart replies. In Ten Lanterns, author Evagoras Evagorou describes a story rooted in Florence in 1470 and shares the quest for personal transformation that he began in 1993—an experiential journey of three decades inspired by thousands of hours of training and coaching executives and employees. Freeing your body and soul from pain requires a journey to the illuminating stations of your life, something that requires breaking the boundaries of time and space. At the final station, the last route will light the way, and all will become clear. This spiritual memoir tells the story of a man who managed to light the way and lighten the pain with his family’s spiritual heritage and can teach you how to do the same by lighting the Ten Lanterns.

The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive. Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.” Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “The Hammer.” Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat. Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas. As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other?

It is already October. The leaves should have started to fall long ago. If Oliver won't succeed in finally initiating fall, all of nature is in jeopardy. Sophie decides to help the stranger. Together they try to find a way for Oliver to regain his power. It doesn't take long for Sophie to fall in love with him.
