Download or read book One Incredible Journey written by Thomas A. Tenney Sr. and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a touching life story of how an extraordinary Methodist preacher and his wife raised a family of eleven children in rural West Virginia. The things they accomplished for other people; plus, the depth and magnitude of their amazing experiences are most unusual because they comprise a lifetime of adventure and hardship, of happiness and heartache. Their response to these experiences is bold, humorous, powerfully creative, and deeply moving. It is an astonishing journey. Many of the life experiences shared are genuinely humorous and absolutely amazing in terms of being a positive influence on one's life. The experiences include both successes and failure, which seem to be equally remarkable. They are largely fluid situations that could go either way. They could have a rewarding ending or a very unfortunate ending. It is fair to say they are all exceptionally meaningful. One of the reasons for this relates to the constant theme that runs throughout. That theme is to fulfill a higher calling on one's life. Both pastor and wife have a command for life, which affords the sensitivity to enjoy the moment and the passion to persuade others to make the journey with them. Hopefully, the pages that follow afford all of us the opportunity to make the journey with them.

I had a few drinks and I left the dance about 11 :00 P.M. I got to bed about 11:45 p.m. I woke up about 5 a.m the next morning. I couldn't breathe, I was having a tough time breathing; so I called 911. I knew I was in some kind of trouble so I took my pajamas off, put on shorts and with that I put my medicare card and blue cross/blue shield card, and my driver's license in my pocket I waited out side. It seemed like an hour but it was probably only a few minutes, before the fire dept arrived with their wagon. I was standing in the driveway, waiting for them to arrive. I said, "I'm having a hard time breathing would you please give me some oxygen." They kept asking, what's your name, . . .where do you live? I kept asking them to please give me some oxygen.

Download or read book Reflections written by Spencer Geswein and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is admirable to be a man among men, eager to listen, calculated in speech, proudly developing broad shoulders, thick skin, a robust spine, and a love of God, country, and women as complementary equals. It’s okay to be strong, courageous, faithful, chivalrous, and full of virility, and it’s okay to develop one’s position of leadership and authority. With all my vices, weaknesses, and shortcomings, this is who I strive to be. It’s who we want our daughters to marry and our sons to become. Such is the man most capable of complementing his wife and encouraging her to become the woman she has every right to be. The man you are becoming need not cower at the altar of groupthink and popular decadence.” This book is a great read — often funny, sometimes tragic, always earnest, always honest. It demonstrates that idealism is not dead. Follow on Spencer’s ride from boyhood to mid-life, and you will encounter characters you wish you would have met in your own life, people who either challenged or mentored Spencer, or both, and who helped mold him into the man he is today. – Andrea Brackett Spencer Geswein is a son of God before all else. He is a devoted husband to one beautiful woman and a proud father engaged in the lives of their three great kids. Spencer is also a grateful son and brother beholden to his father, mother, siblings, and other treasured mentors who have helped him along. Christian country kid from rural Indiana turned racecar driver, real estate investor, author, and trainer of young men – Spencer is an outspoken advocate for hard work, homespun biblical values, and durable manhood. Spencer calls it like he sees it and is “standing in the arena”, ready to take on whatever exciting new chapter the good Lord has in store for him. Spencer and his family enjoy life at their home and farm in northwest Indiana.

Download or read book Brooding written by Michael Martone and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of more than twenty-five essays, both meditative and formally inventive, considers all kinds of subjects: everyday objects such as keys and hats, plus concepts of time and place; the memoir; writing; the essay itself; and Michael Martone’s friendship with the writers David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, and Kurt Vonnegut. Throughout the essays, Martone’s style expands with the incorporation of new technological platforms. Several of the pieces were written specifically for online venues, while the essays on the death of Martone’s mother and father were written on Facebook while the events happened. One essay about using new technologies in the classroom was written solely in tweets. Brooding—the book’s title and the title of an essay—draws a parallel between the disappearance of early browsers and the emergence, after seventeen years, of a brood of cicadas. Throughout these essays Martone’s words inhabit spaces where the reconnection to people in the past and the metaphors of electronic memory converge.
Download or read book Coal Camp Days written by Ricardo L. Garcia and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2001-08-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coalfields of northern New Mexico are the setting for the remembrances of six-year-old Matias Montaño, a fictionalized version of the author's life in the last years of World War II. García writes about ordinary coal-mining people as they struggle to make a living and raise families, and about their heroism, joy for living, and their belief in the value of education, hard work, and the American Dream. For Matias, his brothers, friends, and the adults in their lives, the poor living conditions did not interfere with their adventures and activities, which included collecting scrap iron, picking chokecherries, tracking deer, hunting rattlesnakes, and riding hand cars down the railroad tracks. This book presents a fresh and richly textured view of life in a mining town from the Hispanic viewpoint but includes folklore and stories told by the town's many other ethnic groups, among them Italian, Slavic, and Greek immigrants and African Americans, all working together in support of the war effort and in search of better lives.
Download or read book A Fraction of the Whole written by Steve Toltz and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With rights sold around the world, this irreverent comic adventure spanning three continents is poised to be one of the most talked about fiction débuts of the year. A Fraction of the Whole marks the arrival of an ambitious new writer who deftly mixes humour, surprise, and astute observations of the human condition to create a novel that entertains, scandalizes, and enlightens. Martin Dean spent his entire life analyzing absolutely everything – from the benefits of suicide to the virtues of strip clubs versus brothels. Now that he’s dead, his son Jasper can fully reflect on the man who raised him in intellectual captivity. As he recollects the extraordinary events that led to his father’s demise, Jasper recounts a boyhood of outrageous schemes and shocking discoveries – about his infamous and long dead criminal uncle, his tortured and mysteriously absent European mother, and Martin’s constant losing battle to make a lasting impression on the world. It’s a story that takes them from the Australian bush to the cafés of bohemian Paris, from the Thai jungle to labyrinths, mental hospitals, and criminal lairs, from the highs of first love to the lows of rejection and failed ambition. The result is an uproarious indictment of the ridiculousness of the modern world and its mores, and the moving, memorable story of a father and son whose spiritual symmetry transcends all their many shortcomings. I spent the next day staring into empty space. I get a lot of joy out of air, and if sunlight hits the floating specs of dust so you see the whirling dance of atoms, so much the better. During the day, Dad breezed in and out of my room and clicked his tongue, which in our family meant: ‘You’re an idiot.’ In the afternoon, he came back in with a loaded grin. He had a brilliant idea, and couldn’t wait to tell me about it. It had suddenly occurred to him to throw me out of the house, and what did I think of his brainwave? I told him I was concerned about him eating all his meals alone because the clinking of cutlery on a plate echoing through an empty house is one of the top five depressing noises of all time. --from A Fraction of the Whole

Download or read book The Kind Fashionista written by Joanna Slodownik and published by Joanna Slodownik. This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ Can a group of fashion-challenged dorks and social misfits steal the fashion show from the glamorous but mean fashionistas, proving that personality, smarts, and self-expression win (almost) every time? ★ A FUN NEW RELEASE FOR GIRLS 2021! (Available in paperback and as Kindle Unlimited download.) When the Find-Your-Style fashion design, sewing, and jewelry making workshop is announced, culminating with a FASHION SHOW & EXTRAVAGANZA, I don’t even think about participating. After being officially appointed one of the biggest fashion DISASTERS by the school fashionistas, I don’t believe I would even stand a chance and don’t want to humiliate myself in front of the entire school and town. Besides, being trendy and following the latest fashion is not something that I’m concerned about. In my book, practicality wins every time over appearances, and what’s ACTUALLY INSIDE YOUR HEAD is more important than what color your hair is and whether it’s been blow-dried, curled, and hair-sprayed. I mean, who has the time to waste on coordinating your clothes and accessories with your nails every morning, not to mention the money it costs? Not me! I can think of at least ten better things to do. Or—make it a thousand! (And even if I had loads of money to spare, I’d donate it to a farm sanctuary or animal shelter rather than waste it on products that are superfluous and superficial and just plain silly.) It’s only when I realize that participating in the show may actually give my friends and me a chance to get back at the mean fashionistas that I decide to join the ‘circus’ but do it on my terms. There is only one problem—signing up is easy, but what will we present? With the show’s big date getting closer, there’s little time to figure out our revenge. As we go on that journey, we get close and personal with the contents of our closets and face our dorkiness, self-consciousness, and other demons. We also discover that we are not just smart and caring individuals with an important message to share with the world (and our school mates) but have a distinct personal style as well. *** This book will almost definitely change the way you think about fashion. And you’ll never look at the contents of your closet the same way again! Note: The Kind Fashionista is a fun book about fashion and style with an important message to share—an exciting new release in tween and teen fiction for girls 2021, as well as middle school new releases for girls. If you’re looking for entertaining, educational, inspirational, and uplifting stories to read for your kid, funny books about dorks, new tween fiction best sellers, and fun fashion design gifts—definitely check out this book and the whole new series, Rebel Girls With A Cause, that middle-schoolers, tweens, and teens, will enjoy.
