Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tell Dad Not to Worry By: Robert E. Donahoe Jr. Tell Dad Not to Worry is the miraculous story of Jack Donahoe, the author’s uncle, from his early childhood years until he was killed in action on Saipan on June 15, 1944 during WWII. In 1991, the author was in a near fatal automobile accident as he was not wearing his seat belt and the vehicle had no airbags. The split second before impacting the bridge abutment, the author felt a hand on his shoulder holding him from going through the windshield. The only thing that went through his mind was Uncle Jack, who he never knew as he was not born until eleven years after Jack’s death. The accident occurred on January 2nd, which he learned later that day was Uncle Jack’s birthday. During his recovery from spinal surgeries, the author researched as much as he could about Jack’s life but could not finish the story because his remains were never recovered. Then, in April of this year, he received a phone call from the US Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency stating that remains had been found on the Island of Saipan. They asked if he would take a DNA test to try to identify if some of these remains belonged to Uncle Jack. Since his accident, the author really does believe there are such things as Guardian Angels.

Download or read book The Fix It Man written by Dimity Powell and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s handy having a dad who can fix just about anything. A young girl believes her father is the king of fixing things. But following the death of her mother, she discovers that broken hearts are not as easy to repair as damaged toys and cracked teapots. Together, she and her father find a way to glue back the pieces of her lives. The Fix-It Man is a poignant picture book that explores how a child can cope with the loss of a parent (in this case, the young girl’s mother). Repairing damaged emotions is not as straightforward as gluing a broken kite back together or sewing up a torn toy. And grief affects all members of a family, with each responding in their own way to the loss. By sticking with her father, the young girl is able to strengthen her resilience and ability to cope with one of life’s harshest experiences. The author was encouraged to seek publication for this story after receiving the endorsement of several grief counsellors who work with children and who recognised the need for a book such as this.

Download or read book The Wonder of Boys written by Michael Gurian and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-09-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "THE WONDER OF BOYS is a provocative book that electrifies the debate over how this nation raises sons." — USA Today In this insightful and practical book, Michael Gurian describes what boys need to become strong, responsible, sensitive men. Instead of encouraging us to stifle boys' natural propensities for competition and aggression, Gurian offers effective and practical guidelines for channeling them. He shows how the evils boys are susceptible to, including gang activity, sexual misconduct, and crime, become necessary outlets when positive role models and adult support are not available. Most important, Gurian explains what a boy really needs--a primary and an extended family, relationships with mentors, and intense support form his school and community--and details how we can provide these things for the boys we love.

Book excerpt: Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don’t need to do all the “right” things as a parent.

Download or read book At the End of Holyrood Lane written by Dimity Powell and published by EK Books. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flick is just like any other youngster. She loves to chase butterflies and jump in autumn leaves. But life at the end of Holyrood Lane is often violent and unpredictable due to the constant storms that plague her home, causing her to cringe with dread and flee whenever they strike. Flick tries her best to quell her fears and endure the storms’ persistent wrath until, one day, with nowhere left to hide Flick summons the courage to face her fears by asking for help to overcome them. At the End of Holyrood Lane provides a sensitive glimpse into one aspect of domestic violence and how it can affect young lives. Designed to be visually arresting, emotionally incisive, and ultimately uplifting, it is a tale of anxiety shown through the eyes of a small child with an intense dislike for thunderstorms — a fear shared by many young children. This clever duality of meaning is able to evoke a gentle awareness for young readers who may be suffering their own domestic torment but who are too scared or unsure of how to seek help and shelter from their own storms, whatever their nature. This is the second book by the acclaimed author–illustrator team of Dimity Powell and Nicky Johnston, who specialise in handling difficult subjects with sensitivity and hope.

Download or read book Raising Uncommon Kids written by Sami Cone and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single greatest lesson parents teach their kids isn't anything they say--it's what they do. And while most parents would say they want to raise compassionate kids, they might be surprised to discover just how little they're actually modeling the behaviors they hope to pass on--qualities such as unconditional love, gentleness, forgiveness, patience, gratitude, humility, and more. In this unique book, Sami Cone shows parents a new way to look at molding their children, one in which focusing on adding good behaviors and attitudes is more powerful than eliminating bad ones. Grounding her advice in Scripture--specifically the twelve characteristics found in Colossians 3:12-17--Cone offers plenty of stories from her own life to show these principles in action. And she offers practical things parents can do right now to create a home and family that exhibits love, harmony, and generosity of spirit in a self-centered world.
