Download or read book Nine Decades with Jesus written by William Alvis Patrick and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine Decades with Jesus was chosen as the title because I believe, without a doubt, that Jesus has been with me from before my birth and throughout the nine decades of my life. Closer than a brother, Christ was always there to pull me back during my weakest moments. Knowing that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father would mean that Jesus's right hand is free. There are times when I could feel his hand in my left hand. I can't explain it any better than that. His never-failing words are beyond words. I have attempted to write this in a way that all who read my writing will somehow be drawn closer to the Lord and they too might have an enduring walk that would carry them through their own nine decades.
Download or read book Nine Decades Of Memories written by Orville Helm and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories are short, pop up out of nowhere, do not come in chronological order, or any order at all and do not come with characters dressed in pin-striped suits or polka-dot shirts! Memories are recollections of events that have occurred during your lifetime. They deal with sickness, health, the weather, tornadoes, your family, friends, childhood, job, and more. Some memories are warm and make you smile; some bring tears, and other brings laughter. Ninety years has left many memories with me, and in this book, I have jotted down dozens of memories as I recall them to share with you. Memories are short; therefore, the chapters are short, making this book an easy read.
Download or read book China Hands written by James R. Lilley and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Lilley's life and family have been entwined with China's fate since his father moved to the country to work for Standard Oil in 1916. Lilley spent much of his childhood in China and after a Yale professor took him aside and suggested a career in intelligence, it became clear that he would spend his adult life returning to China again and again. Lilley served for twenty-five years in the CIA in Laos, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Taiwan before moving to the State Department in the early 1980s to begin a distinguished career as the U.S.'s top-ranking diplomat in Taiwan, ambassador to South Korea, and finally, ambassador to China. From helping Laotian insurgent forces assist the American efforts in Vietnam to his posting in Beijing during the Tiananmen Square crackdown, he was in a remarkable number of crucial places during challenging times as he spent his life tending to America's interests in Asia. In China Hands, he includes three generations of stories from an American family in the Far East, all of them absorbing, some of them exciting, and one, the loss of Lilley's much loved and admired brother, Frank, unremittingly tragic. China Hands is a fascinating memoir of America in Asia, Asia itself, and one especially capable American's personal history.
Download or read book The Ninth Decade written by Carl H. Klaus and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ninth Decade is a path-breaking and timely book on aging: the first to focus explicitly and at length on eighty-somethings, the fastest-growing demographic in the industrialized world. Covering eight years in lively six-month installments, Klaus tells a vivid story not only of his own ninth decade and survival routines, but also of his loving companion, Jackie, who is strikingly different from him in her physical well-being, practical outlook, sociable temperament, and vigorous workouts. Cameos of their octogenarian friends and relatives near and far add to a wide-ranging and revelatory portrayal of advanced aging, as do bios of notable octogenarians. The multi-year scope of his chronicle reveals the numerous physical and mental problems that arise during octogenarian life and how eighty-year-olds have dealt with those challenges. The Ninth Decade is a unique, first-hand source of information for anyone in their sixties, seventies, or eighties, as well as for persons devoted to care of the aged. Though the challenges of octogenarian life often require specialized care, The Ninth Decade also shows the pleasures of it to be so special as to have inspired Lillian Hellman’s paradoxical description of “longer life” as “the happy problem of our time.”
Download or read book Eighty Nine Years and Still Evolving written by James Emerson Hough and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of miscellaneous essays and writings, the author reflects on the serenity of retirement living in the middle of his own private certified Forest Preserve and Wildlife Habitat in southeast Indiana, the inspiration it engenders to be creative, and the ability to focus his thinking. He finds it rewarding to share his perspective, but the selfish reason he writes is that it makes him a better person. When asked why he writes, Mr. Hough admits that writing helps keep his aging mind alert and head on straight. Sitting down in front of his laptop computer with a blank screen is challenging. He's inspired to unlock novel ideas in his mind, research them, and develop compelling techniques to put them together in writing and encouraged to place the result on the Internet for colleagues and friends to contemplate. Writing is the author's habit. Sometimes, he gets feedback; sometimes, he doesn't. He knows the value of free speech is priceless, and being a disabled veteran, keeping that freedom alive is inestimable. Retiring at the end of 1998, James Emerson Hough ended more than thirty-five years in private practice of the applied earth sciences as both a licensed professional geologist and licensed professional engineer. He is the geotechnical engineer of record on more than 3,700 projects requiring terrain evaluations, subterranean investigations, foundation analysis for earth-supported architectural structures and for engineering structures, analyses, reports, special studies, failure studies, explorations, inspections, laboratory testing, construction monitoring, and forensic services. Mr. Hough, the author or coauthor of numerous published technical papers and several technical books, possesses substantial expertise regarding slope stability, landslides, and landslide correction. My mind is like a garden, My thoughts are like seeds, I can grow flowers or I can grow weeds, I need to water them.

Download or read book Love Power and Knowledge written by Hilary Rose and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... absolutely splendid... the style is elegant, eloquent, and witty. Rose has a unique voice in the increasingly important feminist science and epistemology discussions. A superb accomplishment." --Sandra Harding "This is a lively, contentious, important feminist book. Rose's wit and sharp eye and her commitment to thorough comparative historical analysis make for many pages of wonderful reading." --Donna Haraway Hilary Rose locates feminist criticism of science at the heart of both the women's movement and the radical science movement. Attending to the political economy of the production of knowledge and to what does and does not count as knowledge, she explores how women and minorities are affected by these processes. She examines at length the latest, massively resourced claimant to the old and oppressive "biology is destiny" dictum--the Human Genome program. Rose's commitment to feminist resistance against the science and technology of oppression leads her to claim feminist science fiction--with its imaginative capacity to envision different futures with different sciences and technologies--as an ally of feminist science critics.

Download or read book Multi word Verbs in Early Modern English written by Claudia Claridge and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2000 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a revision of her doctoral thesis (no date or institution cited), which itself grew out of the project to compile the database Lampeter Corpus of Early Modern English Tracts (1640-1740), Claridge looks at the use of such multi-word verbs as get clear, wish for, and make merry as they appear in the database. She considers both syntax and semantics, which she shows merge to some extent, but takes semantics to be the primary and thus the more important level because people know how they are going to say something before they know what they are going to say.
