Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most young girls never dream of becoming a professional baseball player and very few ever do. But for Dolly Niemiec Konwinski, baseball was her passion, and her biggest dream came true when she signed her first professional contract while she was still in high school! In her autobiography,Summertime Dreams, Yes - Girls Can Play Baseball! Dolly shares the excitement of traveling across the country on a barnstorming tour, being called up to the big league and having to battle each season for a spot in the AAGPBL play-offs. Even after a horrific career-ending accident, baseball has continued to be one of the highlights of her life, leading her to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988 and to spot in the 1992 classic motion picture, A League of Their Own. From roller-skating as a schoolgirl in Chicago, to pro baseball, and on to a National Championship in Match Team Bowling, Dolly has managed to cram an incredible number of personal accomplishments into just one lifetime. As her story points out, she attained her goals through perseverance and by never taking "no" for an answer, and it's been these same values and ideals that have been so vital in her own personal game plan for success. Summertime Dreams is a lot more than just another book about baseball. It's a story of love, family, disappointment, hard work and dedication... all the things that help make dreams come true. It's a sure bet to entertain and inspire readers of all ages.

Download or read book Hang Time written by Bob Greene and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1993-12-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Greene shows us a side of Michael Jordan that doesn't make the sports page...the inside. Journalist and bestselling author Bob Greene stepped into Michael Jordan's world just as Jordan was reaching the apex of his talent and his fame. With Greene, Jordan let down his guard. In an extraordinary book that transcends sports biography, Greene takes the reader along with Jordan over two seasons with the Chicago Bulls, during glorious championship surges and trying personal moments. With rare insight, Greene reveals the person inside the icon: a man who makes millions but cannot go for a quiet walk around the block without getting mobbed, a man who competes ferociously on the court, but who performs some of his most remarkable and unexpected feats away from the limelight. Drawn from inside Michael Jordan's daily life, rich with the sound of Jordan's own voice, Hang Time is a startlingly candid and intimate story of time spent with a champion, and of the growing friendship between two men.

Download or read book Faith Forward Volume 3 written by David Csinos and published by Wood Lake Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of his best-known songs, Bruce Cockburn sings about “lovers in a dangerous time.” Well, there’s no doubt that our world is under siege and that we are living in a dangerous time. With massive crises threatening life all over our planet – economic crises, social crises, ecological crises, the list goes on and on – our faith can’t afford to ignore the reality of our diverse and fragile world. Our faith needs to move or inspire us to get our hands not just dirty, but downright bruised and bloody as we work against the tremendous forces of hatred, death, and suffering in our world. That’s what this third volume in the “Faith Forward” series is about. It’s about forming Christian “lovers” in the dangerous time in which we live. It’s about dousing the flames of hatred and suffering in our world by pouring out unconditional, sacrificial love. It’s about having rich and meaningful and difficult conversations about how we can do ministry with children, youth, and families in ways that have the power to heal the world. How can we empower children and youth to disrupt the world with God’s love? How can we empower them to overturn the tables and shatter the walls, and to pour out compassion, and justice, and love in the world? This kind of ministry isn’t easy or popular work. And it isn’t going to pack kids into our church. But it’s truly life-and-death work, and we need to do it as embodiments of God’s hope and healing. Like the other books in this series, Faith Forward Volume 3 collects the wisdom of some the leading “thinkers” and “shakers” and “movers” in the arena of ministry with children and youth, including Alaa Basatneh, Brian D. McLaren, Soong-Chan Rah, Waltrina N. Middleton, Daniel White Hodge, Lisa and Mark Scandrette, Marcia J. Bunge, Leslie Neugent, Ivy Beckwith, Eboo Patel, Almeda M. Wright, and Amy K. Butler.

Download or read book No Time to Dream written by Rita Molyneux and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NO TIME TO DREAM is in many ways reminiscent of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. The background of both books largely centred on the mining valley of the Rhondda in Wales during the depression of the early twentieth century. The author Rita Molyneux herself lived in this mining valley and witnessed at fi rst hand the harshness of daily life during that period and vividly recounts them in her book. Indeed her own father suffered a broken back in a colliery accident. The Rhondda, as Gwyn Thomas once described it, poured out enough coal to have coked the world at one stroke. The valley was majestically ransacked and the coal owners became very rich men. Cruelly, little of this money stuck to the fi ngers of the people who mined the coal. Yet these people laughed, sang, worshipped and propagated at record levels and were far more precious than the coal they hauled out of the ground. In NO TIME TO DREAM the author richly evokes those times in technicolour and brings to life those characters who fi ll the pages. The story also tells of emigration of some of these characters to Australia, where they faced with bravery the vicissitudes of the new environment. In real life Rita and her husband Arthur paralleled the story of this novel, emigrating to Australia in 1964, initially to Canberra and then to Sydney. It was this experience that allowed Rita to complete the second half of her book. NO TIME TO DREAM is a rich evocation of the human spirit and a unique description of love, kindliness and courage surrounded and deepened by the dangers of the times. Read it!

In the tradition of Laura Ingalls Wilders Little House series, Mountain of My Dreams shares the true story of one familys memorable, often remarkable 30-year journey. Much more than just another back to the land chronicle, this is a heartwarming tale of a man, a woman, and their belief in each other.
