Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in a series featuring the adventures of Arnold A. Airplane. It was inspired by the birth of my grandson Jace. I had the pleasure of taking care of Jace for about three hours one day. The last thirty minutes or so, he was asleep in my arms. As I was holding him and just looking down into his little face, my heart filled with a love I had not felt in many years. I then tried to analyze why I love him so much, since he wasn't doing anything. He was just there! So I just drank in the moments, wishing that feeling of pure love would last forever. I then thought about God's relationship with me. I have always thought I needed to perform, to be doing something for Him to make sure He will love me. But, as impossible as it seems, He loves me even more than I love Jace, and when He looks at me, His heart fills with love too. I don't need to give Him a reason to love me; He just does! All I need do is desire to be near Him. Thank you, my Father , for showing me You love me in the same way I love Jace and for sending Your Son to die for me so that I may experience your perfect love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Bert the Bomber is the 3rd book in the “Adventures of Arnold A. Airplane” series. Old Bert is an old, sad and lonely World War II bomber plane. Since it is too windy for Arnold and Herman to fly, they decide to spend the day at an old airport not too far away. When they arrive Old Bert is being teased and abused by some younger planes. Arnold and Herman feel sorry for him and ask if there is anything they can do to help. Old Bert asks them if they can just stay and talk for a while. He tells them great stories of his youth and the war with lessons on respecting our flag and the people who defend our country. They find it is great fun to listen to Old Bert and invite him home for dinner. The morals presented in this story have to do with respecting our country and our flag, remembering and respecting those in our armed forces and their families and treating older people with respect and honor. Like the other two books in this series, it is written in rhyming prose and should be easy for children to understand. The illustrations are simple drawing with bright colors that should enhance a child's imagination and, possibly, their interest in flying. The photographs (credits) at the end of the book include actual photographs of models Arnold, Herman, Billy and Old Bert built by the author.

Download or read book The Adventures of Arnold A Airplane written by Bill Slentz and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merry Mary Monoplane is the newest of Arnold's and Herman's friends. She is a beautiful little monoplane who always seems to be very happy even though she was made with a disability and has endured many visits to the mechanic. She has a small oil line with a big problem but is still able to live a great life and help her friends. In fact, she saves the day for Arnold and Herman who are destined to get a bad grade in flight school until Mary decides to help. My hope is, this little book will encourage children, who are afflicted with a serious disability or limitation, to concentrate on the many wonderful things they can do rather than on the few they can't. Mary says: "If you have a big problem you don't quite understand, don't think of the few things you can't do, just think of all those that you can." Herman also demonstrates how to be happy rather than jealous when a friend does well.

Book excerpt: This is the 11th book in the "Adventures of Arnold A. Airplane" series. The main character is Sammy Saratoga. Sammy is very proud and arrogant. He looks very shiny, new and impressive on the outside but soon he is unable to hide that he is very "gunky" on the inside. Sammy is like many of us who are very prideful and maintain a great front that we are very much in control and pure on the outside but our hearts are filled with arrogance and some very "gunky" secrets inside. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.". Sammy follows the Son and has all the sticky, oily stuff inside his engine removed and tells us we too can be cleansed as white as snow and be given a brand new start, no matter what we have done in the past.

Download or read book Running Home written by Katie Arnold and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Wild and H Is for Hawk, an Outside magazine writer tells her story—of fathers and daughters, grief and renewal, adventure and obsession, and the power of running to change your life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE I’m running to forget, and to remember. For more than a decade, Katie Arnold chased adventure around the world, reporting on extreme athletes who performed outlandish feats—walking high lines a thousand feet off the ground without a harness, or running one hundred miles through the night. She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality. His death was cataclysmic, unleashing a perfect storm of grief and anxiety. She and her father, an enigmatic photographer for National Geographic, had always been kindred spirits. He introduced her to the outdoors and took her camping and on bicycle trips and down rivers, and taught her to find solace and courage in the natural world. And it was he who encouraged her to run her first race when she was seven years old. Now nearly paralyzed by fear and terrified she was dying, too, she turned to the thing that had always made her feel most alive: running. Over the course of three tumultuous years, she ran alone through the wilderness, logging longer and longer distances, first a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, then 50 miles, then 100 kilometers. She ran to heal her grief, to outpace her worry that she wouldn’t live to raise her own daughters. She ran to find strength in her weakness. She ran to remember and to forget. She ran to live. Ultrarunning tests the limits of human endurance over seemingly inhuman distances, and as she clocked miles across mesas and mountains, Katie learned to tolerate pain and discomfort, and face her fears of uncertainty, vulnerability, and even death itself. As she ran, she found herself peeling back the layers of her relationship with her father, discovering that much of what she thought she knew about him, and her own past, was wrong. Running Home is a memoir about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our world—the stories that hold us back, and the ones that set us free. Mesmerizing, transcendent, and deeply exhilarating, it is a book for anyone who has been knocked over by life, or feels the pull of something bigger and wilder within themselves. “A beautiful work of searching remembrance and searing honesty . . . Katie Arnold is as gifted on the page as she is on the trail. Running Home will soon join such classics as Born to Run and Ultramarathon Man as quintessential reading of the genre.”—Hampton Sides, author of On Desperate Ground and Ghost Soldiers
