Book excerpt: Is it possible to travel all the way around the world using nothing but a bicycle on land and boats on water?When Chris Pountney pedals away from the Eiffel Tower he is doing more than just going for a bike ride. It is the start of an ambitious attempt to circumnavigate the planet using only his bicycle and boats. With a list of seven challenges to guide him (but no map), he heads east towards Asia and Australia. The Sydney Opera House is his goal.The story follows Chris as he tackles snowy mountain passes in Turkey, wades across rivers in Tajikistan, eats strange cheeses in Mongolia, and meets with incredible kindness just about everywhere he goes. He lives a simple life on a small budget, sleeps in a tent, talks to his bike, consumes a really unbelievable number of biscuits, and all the time stubbornly refuses to have anything whatsoever to do with motor vehicles (or escalators). But can he overcome all of the visa deadlines, the breakdowns, the awful roads, the headwinds, the kangaroos, and the frequent danger of being distracted by members of the opposite sex, to successfully pedal all of the way to Sydney?
Download or read book Wrong Lanes Have Right Turns written by Michael Phillips and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unforgettable true story of one man’s escape from the school-to-prison pipeline, how he reinvented himself as a pastor and education reform advocate, and what his journey can teach us about turning the collateral damage in the lives of our youth into hope. “A heart-wrenching and triumphant story that will change lives.”—Bishop T. D. Jakes Michael Phillips would never become anything. At least, that’s what he was told. It seemed like everyone was waiting for him to just fall through the cracks. After losing his father, suffering a life-altering car accident, and losing his college scholarship, Michael turned to selling drugs to make ends meet. But when his house was raided, he was arrested and thrown into a living nightmare. When it looked like he would be sentenced to spend years behind bars, the judge gave him a choice—go to a special college program for adjudicated youth or face the possibility of a thirty-year prison sentence. It wasn’t hard to pick. From that choice, a mission was born—to help change the system that shuffles so many young Black men like Michael straight from school to prison. Today, Michael is the pastor of a thriving church, a local leader in Baltimore, and a member of the Maryland State Board of Education. He discovered that education was the path to becoming who he was created to be. Armed with research, statistics, and his powerful story, Michael tackles the embedded privilege of the education system and introduces ideas for change that could level the playing field and reduce negative impacts on vulnerable youth. He explores ways in which the readers can help advocate and provide resources for students, and points us to the one thing anyone can start doing, no matter who we are or what our role is: speak into young kids’ lives. Tell them of their inherent worth and purpose. In this inspiring, thought-provoking, and energizing call to action, Michael’s practical steps provide a way forward to anyone wanting to help create space for collateral hope in the lives of for young people around them.
Download or read book Wrong Turn written by Gian Gentile and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing indictment of US strategy in Afghanistan from a distinguished military leader and West Point military historian—“A remarkable book” (National Review). In 2008, Col. Gian Gentile exposed a growing rift among military intellectuals with an article titled “Misreading the Surge Threatens U.S. Army’s Conventional Capabilities,” that appeared in World Politics Review. While the years of US strategy in Afghanistan had been dominated by the doctrine of counterinsurgency (COIN), Gentile and a small group of dissident officers and defense analysts began to question the necessity and efficacy of COIN—essentially armed nation-building—in achieving the United States’ limited core policy objective in Afghanistan: the destruction of Al Qaeda. Drawing both on the author’s experiences as a combat battalion commander in the Iraq War and his research into the application of counterinsurgency in a variety of historical contexts, Wrong Turn is a brilliant summation of Gentile’s views of the failures of COIN, as well as a trenchant reevaluation of US operations in Afghanistan. “Gentile is convinced that Obama’s ‘surge’ in Afghanistan can’t work. . . . And, if Afghanistan doesn’t turn around soon, the Democrats . . . who have come to embrace the Petraeus-Nagl view of modern warfare . . . may find themselves wondering whether it’s time to go back to the drawing board.” —The New Republic

Download or read book The Wrong Turn written by Pawan Jain and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the turbulent days of the Indian Independence struggle against the British Raj, The Wrong Turn recreates the life in the colonial days, its limitations and prejudices and the communal strife between the Hindus and the Muslims who lived as two separate societies living side by side with each other but with little or no interaction between the two. As a young girl, Chandrakala was pampered by her father. She was admired for her charm and beauty. After her marriage she could not cope with her husband's modest means and she moved back to her father's house contrary to traditions. Chandrakala struggled against all odds with the help of her secret admirer and lover, Ajit, who stood by her in her fight for survival in a callous world as she loses her husband and sons and is left out cold and alone with little to hold on to. The world around her is moving fast and forward, but she seemed to be struck in her own predicament. Pawan Jain takes us to the past century and reminds us of the struggle against the paramount power armed with just Ahimsa and non-violence. The Wrong Turn has a lot to offer for both the Indian and Non-Indian readers, in understanding India of the past and the present. He has expounded the communal relationships without regard to the political correctness when he questions the partition of India along the religious and communal lines.

In Embrace, author Olympia Pringle takes you through her own personal journey of struggle to embrace herself, what God says about her, and all that he has in store for her. Olympias story is a story of mental transformation, heart purification, and walking in revelation, and she shows you how even though it is difficult to pull yourself out of the pit, God always holds out his hand to pull you up and out. In order to live a life of fullness, we have to embrace the pain of the past, the chaos or the mundaneness of the present, and the uncertainty of the futureand in God we can do these things confidently and boldly. He will help us to overcome doubt, shame, guilt, and fear. And as we walk daily with the Lord and continue to surrender, He will give us the courage and boldness to live the life He promised for us.
