Download or read book Happiness Is a Choice You Make written by John Leland and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller! An extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and a heartening guide to well-being, Happiness Is a Choice You Make weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the “oldest old”— those eighty-five and up. In 2015, when the award-winning journalist John Leland set out on behalf of The New York Times to meet members of America’s fastest-growing age group, he anticipated learning of challenges, of loneliness, and of the deterioration of body, mind, and quality of life. But the elders he met took him in an entirely different direction. Despite disparate backgrounds and circumstances, they each lived with a surprising lightness and contentment. The reality Leland encountered upended contemporary notions of aging, revealing the late stages of life as unexpectedly rich and the elderly as incomparably wise. Happiness Is a Choice You Make is an enduring collection of lessons that emphasizes, above all, the extraordinary influence we wield over the quality of our lives. With humility, heart, and wit, Leland has crafted a sophisticated and necessary reflection on how to “live better”—informed by those who have mastered the art.

Download or read book The Prayer of My Life How God Changed Me in Seven Months written by Tony Portugal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes this book extremely unique is that the story portion, minus the editing process, was actually written in less than one week. The principles, which are at the end of the story, were written during Tonys journey in his initial seven months with God. In Tonys own words he says: I was not raised in church. I have never known God. Truthfully, I have never actually known myself. My familys love and their concerns for my well-being had always fallen on deaf ears. Simply by establishing my life around counterfeit friends, it forced me to live in the darkest reality of my time. What changed? I went to kill a manand instead Jesus interfered. It is quite unbelievable how believable God really is. The Bible would become the first Book I ever read. Did I understand it at first? No. But the Bible is not based on logical thinking, but illogical people. Lord, I refuse to leave Your presence until You bring out of me what You promised was in me. With that same perspective, the Bible contains a power that enables us to go beyond ourselves. Its mind-blowing how within seven months God can flip your world inside out!

Download or read book All the Days of My Life written by Samuel D. Faircloth and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the Days of My Life is a detailed autobiographical account of the life of evangelical pioneer missionary Sam Faircloth. Sam records how he arrived in Portugal as a young man of 28, with his wife Arlie and little daughter Becky, to learn a new language and found a new seminary in Leiria north of Lisbon, where some students lacked even the basic necessities of life. His chronological account narrates both the joys and struggles of further work later in evangelism and church planting in the Lisbon area. Sams family of eventually seven daughters were all actively involved at some point in the Faircloths ministry. They felt blessed to witness Gods clear hand at work in the birth and growth of the Parede Baptist Church, which then went on to plant other churches in the Lisbon area. Another great privilege was co-founding the Portuguese Bible Institute and watching again as graduates from the Bible institute took greatly needed leadership of churches around Portugal, as they had from the Baptist Theological Seminary of Leiria years before. Spending his last six years of overseas ministry in the Netherlands, Sam was again thrilled to be involved with the founding of a seminary, Tyndale Theological Seminary. Sam writes candidly of the heartbreak of losing both Arlie and his second wife Ruth but rejoices in Gods goodness and mercy as he continues to serve the Lord with his wife Betty in retirement.

Download or read book Everybody Has a Story III written by Torbjørn Ydegaard (Ed.) and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third book in the series “Everybody Has a Story”. The story behind the idea for these books and their title goes back to The Freedom Writers Diary that came about as the result of the teachings of young teacher at a high school in a socially deprived area in Long Beach near Los Angeles. The teacher, Erin Gruwell, found herself more or less forced to base her teachings on the stories of the living conditions of her students. When she became aware of these stories and managed to relate the content of the curriculum to them, her students started to find interest in the subjects of the school – and they began to learn. This book is the result of a Freedom Writer course during the spring-semester 2015. During the course the students were faced with different writing exercises as well as hand-on art-making ranging from drawings over photos to videos. The texts, pictures and other contents of the book are made anonymous to protect the participating students as these products might be very personal. And personal it has to be, when you become aware of whom you actually are!
