Book excerpt: Think about how much safer and relaxed you would feel if you knew what to expect from a relationship-before you got into one. In this book I lay open my experiences from what I feel God revealed to me about falling in love. A thriving growing relationship which enters into marriage waits within these pages. Where hands are still held within the revealed depths of love long after courtship, there is stability in behavior which promotes consistent growth. "As the bridegroom rejoices in His bride, so does the Lord rejoice in you." At last a pattern to behold and live for a full life.

Book excerpt: This story began in your home, my home, your friends home, your relatives home, my friends and relatives homes as well. It talks about the things all or most women have talked about at one time or another. All of the information gathered for this book comes from you as the reader but most importantly as an individual. The chapters in this book are not of advice, they are of knowledge passed on to me from all of the women I've met in my life. This book is my way of saying thanks to all of those who gave me the light at the end of the tunnel. Those individuals that I speak of are all of the women out there. If it wasn't for all of their words of wisdom I could not have made it through some of the things I have experienced in my own life. I hope you get as much from me as I have from all of you. My wish for this book is to let people know that they are never alone.

Download or read book Tail Gunner written by R C Rivaz and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1943, this is the gripping story of one man's involvement in RAF Bomber Command's fledgling offensive between August 1940 and December 1941. Dick Rivaz was tail gunner to Leonard Cheshire, one of the most famous RAF pilots of the Second World War, flying in Whiteleys with 102 Squadron and latterly in Halifaxes with 35 Squadron. Unique among wartime memoirs, Tail Gunner was written within months of the events described, with all the immediacy of being at the very heart of the action. Rivaz graphically describes his experiences on night bombing attacks against heavily defended enemy targets like Duisberg, Dusseldorf and Essen, and relates a dramatic shoot-out with German fighters over La Rochelle in broad daylight during July 1941. Rivaz reveals the fine spirit of comradeship which developed in RAF bomber crews during the Second World War. Having survived the war, including two rescues from the North Sea, he was killed in October 1945, aged just thirty-seven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ray Perry was a farm boy from rural West Texas when America entered World War II. He always had a fascination with planes, so he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps with the intention of becoming a pilot. The Army Air Corps needed tail gunners, however, so Ray served his country at the back end of a B-17, completing thirty-five combat missions before the war’s end. This is the story of his World War II adventure, wrought with tragedy and excitement and every emotion in between. This is also the story of how a young man from a small West Texas town handled the upheaval that comes with war. Based off numerous primary source materials, Ray’s story unfolds through his letters, photos, and mementos. The book’s foreword is written by his son, and former Texas governor, Rick Perry. “I never was rattled . . . . I could never remember really being scared. I know I was. Had to be. But I had control of it.” “The pilot sent the radio operator back there to see if they got me . . . and he climbed, crawled, right there beside the side of that tail wheel, and he never did get back all the way where I was at, but he . . . saw me sitting up and he saw me move a little. So, he went back and told the pilot, ‘I guess he’s alright. I think he’s still alive.’” —Ray Perry, from the book
