Or maybe you just want to read an exciting and unforgettable tale based on a true story that will transform and transport you?Whatever you're looking for, this is an adventure that will open your eyes, touch your heart, and deepen your beliefs. Take a journey with author, Shane Svorec, as she invites readers to see the world through the back seat of a VW bus. Across the country and through the years, colorful experiences make up her transient upbringing where her empathetic spirit and perpetual optimism become the foundation for a life of adaptability, greater understanding, and never-ending wonder. A story about a girl who refuses to be a victim of her past or a product of her circumstances, Shane searches for purpose even in pain with a determined, free spirit and shows others how to do the same. Creating a life out of overcoming the unthinkable, she dreams of a brighter future and envisions a world of possibilities as she stares out from the back seat of her family Volkswagen. The many "no-coincidence" connections she makes with others along the way, prove not only to be profound, but purposeful as well, while they unknowingly steer her onto the path she's meant to travel. These are the tales of the Broken Little Believer, the truth behind All the Pretty Painful Pieces, and the testimonies collected along the Path to Finding Purpose. Like going on a road trip with a good friend and a great playlist, this book weaves true stories into life lessons while entertaining and encouraging readers. In this book, readers will: *Discover how uncomfortable experiences can serve as opportunities for self-exploration and personal growth while creating a foundation for a healthy perspective and an attitude of gratitude. *Realize that to maintain hope, attract positivity, and fulfill one's purpose, it is necessary to implement pause, practice personal reflection, and routinely acknowledge the needs of our soul, while taking inventory of those who occupy our time and space. *Reveal a new (or greater) appreciation for their own journey as they recognize the value in painful lessons that serve to bring us closer to our purpose, and a life of peace and fulfillment. Beyond the journey, this book: *Features reasons to believe in the underdog while showcasing how false perceptions, widely held beliefs, and initial impressions are not only misleading but often wrong. *Provides a positive pathway to introduce, renew, and stretch that which we believe to be possible. *Creates a mindset of possibilities within readers as they learn to recognize blessings in disguise, further open their minds, deepen their understanding, and reach their potential in areas of their life where they've become stagnant, complacent, or resentful.

Book excerpt: One brother home from war. The other desperate to save him. A gripping journey together to the river's end. Shane has always worshiped his big brother, Jeremy. But three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken their toll, and the easy-go-lucky brother Shane knew has been replaced by a surly drunk who carries his loaded 9mm with him everywhere and lives in the basement because he can’t face life with his wife and two small children. When Jeremy shows up after Shane’s football game and offers to take him to the family cabin overnight, Shane goes along — both to get away from a humiliation on the field and to keep an eye on Jeremy, who’s AWOL from his job at Quantico and seems to have a shorter fuse than ever. But as the camping trip turns into a days-long canoe trip down the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, Shane realizes he’s in way over his head — and has no idea how to persuade Jeremy to return home and get the help he needs before it’s too late. In a novel at once gripping and heartbreaking, Steve Watkins offers a stark exploration of the unseen injuries left by war.

Download or read book War Against the Mafia written by Don Pendleton and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in the classic vigilante action series from a “writer who spawned a genre” (The New York Times). Overseas, Mack Bolan was dubbed “Sgt. Mercy” for the compassion he showed the innocent. On the home front, they’re calling him the Executioner for what he’s doing to the guilty. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, American sniper Mack Bolan honed his skills. After twelve years, with ninety-five confirmed hits, he returns home to Massachusetts. But it’s not to reunite with his family, it’s to bury them—victims in a mass murder/suicide. Even though Bolan’s own father pulled the trigger, he knows the old man was no killer. He was driven to madness by Mafia thugs who have turned his idyllic hometown into a new kind of war zone. Duty calls . . . Introducing an action hero “who would make Jack Reacher think twice,” this is the first book in the iconic series of vigilante justice that has become a publishing phenomenon (Empireonline.com). With more than two hundred million Executioner books sold since its debut, the series continues to stimulate.
