Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Priceless Father” delves into the critical role parents play in a child’s upbringing and examines the profound impact of parental absence on their development. This book emphasizes the necessity of a stable family environment as the foundation for success in both career and community life. In today’s society, a significant number of children are raised by single mothers, highlighting the alarming statistic that at least one in three children comes from a broken home. While there are success stories of children raised by single parents, these narratives often overlook the immense commitment, love, and hard work involved. The book addresses the misconception that having both parents guarantees a child’s success, noting that even when both parents are present, they may be emotionally or financially absent, leaving a void in the child’s life. “The Priceless Father” argues for the importance of effective communication and conflict resolution to maintain a nurturing home environment. It also explores the concept of finding spiritual fulfillment and guidance from God when earthly parents fall short. Through this perspective, the book offers insights into coping mechanisms and finding solace in the absence of ideal parental figures. Ultimately, this book serves as a guide for parents and couples, empowering them to navigate turbulent times with sensitivity toward their children’s needs. Through mutual respect, effective communication, and a commitment to resolving conflicts, families can strive toward harmony and stability, safeguarding the well-being of the next generation.

Download or read book Priceless written by Robert K. Wittman and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wall Street Journal called him “a living legend.” The London Times dubbed him “the most famous art detective in the world.” In Priceless, Robert K. Wittman, the founder of the FBI’s Art Crime Team, pulls back the curtain on his remarkable career for the first time, offering a real-life international thriller to rival The Thomas Crown Affair. Rising from humble roots as the son of an antique dealer, Wittman built a twenty-year career that was nothing short of extraordinary. He went undercover, usually unarmed, to catch art thieves, scammers, and black market traders in Paris and Philadelphia, Rio and Santa Fe, Miami and Madrid. In this page-turning memoir, Wittman fascinates with the stories behind his recoveries of priceless art and antiquities: The golden armor of an ancient Peruvian warrior king. The Rodin sculpture that inspired the Impressionist movement. The headdress Geronimo wore at his final Pow-Wow. The rare Civil War battle flag carried into battle by one of the nation’s first African-American regiments. The breadth of Wittman’s exploits is unmatched: He traveled the world to rescue paintings by Rockwell and Rembrandt, Pissarro, Monet and Picasso, often working undercover overseas at the whim of foreign governments. Closer to home, he recovered an original copy of the Bill of Rights and cracked the scam that rocked the PBS series Antiques Roadshow. By the FBI’s accounting, Wittman saved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of art and antiquities. He says the statistic isn’t important. After all, who’s to say what is worth more --a Rembrandt self-portrait or an American flag carried into battle? They're both priceless. The art thieves and scammers Wittman caught run the gamut from rich to poor, smart to foolish, organized criminals to desperate loners. The smuggler who brought him a looted 6th-century treasure turned out to be a high-ranking diplomat. The appraiser who stole countless heirlooms from war heroes’ descendants was a slick, aristocratic con man. The museum janitor who made off with locks of George Washington's hair just wanted to make a few extra bucks, figuring no one would miss what he’d filched. In his final case, Wittman called on every bit of knowledge and experience in his arsenal to take on his greatest challenge: working undercover to track the vicious criminals behind what might be the most audacious art theft of all.

Download or read book Priceless written by John C. Goodman and published by Independent Institute. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long-awaited updated edition of his groundbreaking work Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis, renowned healthcare economist John Goodman ("father" of Health Savings Accounts) analyzes America's ongoing healthcare fiasco—including, for this edition, the extra damage Obamacare has inflicted on America's healthcare system. Goodman then provides what many critics of our healthcare system neglect: solutions. And not a moment too soon. Americans are entangled in a system with perverse incentives that raise costs, reduce quality, and make care less accessible. It's not just patients that need liberation from this labyrinth of confusion—it's doctors, businessmen, and institutions as well. Read this new work and discover: Why no one sees a real price for anything: no patient, no doctor, no employer, no employee How Obamacare's perverse incentives cause insurance companies to seek to attract the healthy and avoid the sick Why having a preexisting condition is actually WORSE under Obamacare than it was before—despite rosy political promises to the contrary Why emergency-room traffic and long waits for care have actually increased under Obamacare How Medicaid expansion spends new money insuring healthy, single adults, while doing nothing for the developmentally disabled who languish on waiting lists and children who aren't getting the pediatric care they need How the market for medical care COULD be as efficient and consumer-friendly as the market for cell phone repair... and what it would take to make that happen How to create centers of medical excellence, which compete to meet the needs of the chronically ill And much, much more ... Thoroughly researched, clearly written, and decidedly humane in its concern for the health of all Americans, John Goodman has written the healthcare book to read to understand today's healthcare crisis. His proposed solutions are bold, crucial, and most importantly, caring. Healthcare is complex. But this book isn't. It's clear, it's satisfying, and it's refreshingly human. If you read even one book about healthcare policy in America, this is the one to read.

Book excerpt: Newly divorced, a woman’s faith in finding true love is tested when she falls in love with a Catholic priest. Veronica Miller is grateful for a temporary teaching position at the local Catholic school. Perhaps her new job will take her mind off her ex-husband’s betrayal and distract her from the pain of divorce. When she meets Father Francis Xavier, however, she wonders if she’s about to hurt herself again by falling for a man who is forbidden to her. To complicate matters further, she discovers her ex-husband and his very pregnant bride have moved in around the corner. Father Francis is far from his home in India, an interim priest who knows no one. He becomes a welcome, calming friend who seems to appreciate Veronica’s help with difficult situations with families in the parish. Can Veronica help it if she finds herself wanting to spend more and more time with him? Thankfully he will be gone soon, hopefully before Veronica’s feelings for him overtake her good sense.

Book excerpt: Matt Fry, middle-aged and set in his humdrum ways, wants peace above all else: to coast through his job, to relax by the pool in his south Florida condo, to survive his daughters adolescence, and to maintain his twenty-year-old marriage on a fairly even keel. Such, however, is not his fate. The first sign of trouble is the reappearance, after a long and welcome absence, of Matts former college roommate Sandor Rossenblum. Matt has long since abandoned his career as a newspaper columnist, but Sandors has flourished: with two Pulitzer prizes under his belt, his very existence is an affront; even worse, he hasnt lost his taste for practical jokes, nor (apparently) for attractive women like Matts wife Barb. Sandor wastes no time in insinuating himself back into his old friends life. Things arent much quieter at the office. Its enough that Matt has to contend with the baseball metaphors constantly hurled at him by his boss, Smilin Jack, and the vitriol hurled at him by his rival, Snarlin Marlon; on top of this, his nubile teenage secretary has discovered that shes pregnant with no father in sight and Matt agrees to help her break the news to her redneck, fundamentalist Christian parents. A host of other people seem to be conspiring to distrurb Matts fragile equilibrium. His fifteen-year-old daughter Jess seems to be getting surlier and sluttier by the day; his friend Aaron is exhorting him to engage in extramarital flings; his voluptuous neighbor Anne torments him with her habit of sprawling, nearly naked, by the pool every morning. Then theres Jerzy Kowalski, the agencys newest client, whos invented a new kind of shirt that he thinks will take the fashion world by storm. Matt has to handle this exuberant entrepreneur with kid gloves. None of this, however, compares to the bombshell that Barb drops on Matt one fine day when she is conveniently out of town. She slaps him with a lawsuit, alleging that the vows they exchanged during their hippie marriage, some twenty years before, compel him to provide her with a second child. Not only is this just about the last thing Matt wants: it would also require him to undergo a reversal of the vasectomy he had not long after Jesss birth. When she returns home, Barb is intransigent. Nothing Matt says can dissuade her. She advises him to hire an attorney, but Matt knows the deck is stacked against him: a popular public prosecutor, Barb is well-known and well-liked by everyone at the county courthouse. Sandor is delighted with this motherlode of material for his column, and threatens to turn the affair into a major media circus. Paternity Suit is the story of how Matt survives or fails to survive the lawsuit, his friends and family, his job, and his midlife crisis.
