Download or read book The Old Rugged Cross Eyed Bear written by Wes Sumpter and published by . This book was released on 2006-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book starts on a May day in 1939 as several twelve-year-old friends are headed to their favorite swimming hole on the Solomon River near the town of Downs, Kansas. A problem develops for them as they seem to cross swords with a W.W.1 wounded veteran tending his goats. The story continues and they find various ways to earn money by catching crawdads, and they observe a "raid" by the State officials on a bootlegger's house. They have a meeting with the "restless spirit" of a disturbed Indian warrior. These kids don't realize that they are in a "depression," because almost everybody they know is in the same situation except for a few people who "have money." Quite a lot of the book is devoted to their school experience with outstanding and devoted teachers, and T.Y.S. (Twelve Year Syndrome) begins to affect them. These kids mostly have a happy time, but are awakened to grief with the loss of a good friend. The end of the story has these same kids going down the same road a year later. They have learned a lot in one year, and they are saddened when "Billy Goat" is not there anymore. They had found out that he was a friend. How wise we are when Chance is gone, And a glance we backward cast. We know just the thing that we should have done, When the time for doing is past.

Download or read book Emotional Integrity written by Wayne Quarrier, and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You shouldn’t feel like that” is a statement that demonstrates ignorance and unkindness, whether intentional or not. It invalidates the expression of the person revealing his or her inherent feelings and exploits that person’s vulnerability. Research shows that this can result in mental health disorders, divorce, suicide, and even mass murders. Everyone has emotional experiences, and all the significant events of life include them; however, the causes and the consequences of emotions are among the least understood and underappreciated aspects of the human experience. Emotional integrity boldly intends to change that. This book presents conclusively that the disciplines of theology, social science, and medical science support the concept of emotional integrity and that the health and well-being of our society depends upon the understanding and acceptance of and adherence to this concept. This will not be an overnight transformation. Centuries of misunderstandings and decades of assertions based on them will need to be challenged until a broad enough base of theologians, educators, and mental health practitioners understand the concept of emotional integrity, accept it, and persuasively promote it. If they are successful, it is very likely that husbands and wives, parents and children, bosses and workers, friends and neighbors will experience healthy and fulfilled personal relationships.

Download or read book Through the Eyes of Two Sisters written by Jessie Mabrey and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gypsy kids are running all over, moving from place to place often; not making any real friends. But when an impulsive, careless, and questionable action leads to a horrific accident for one family, two sisters' lives will change forever. Jane with her broken bones--leg and pelvis--and scars on her head and the loneliness she had on waiting and waiting while her sister Jessie laid unconscious for days. Jessie Mohe and Jane Ann thought that they had a simple and easygoing life with their biological parents as they were always playing outside and only had a few responsibilities. As they would play with their other siblings, they would also perform several mischievous acts that would get them into some trouble. Their older immediate family seemed to almost always be around as these harmless schemes would happen, and they would get a good laugh from it all. Where is everyone whom we know personally--our parents, Gpa Jess, Uncle Jerry, and Uncle Bernard--and we are closest to? It's cloudy, and we can't see no one. Where is our life that we knew? Our little brains were working and going around in circles and circles. Our trauma, the anger we had in separate ways. After the accident, they would join their family with a new and very different lifestyle. They would experience new food, people, and unbelievable ways of life. The foster mother would push them to try new things, learn to be independent, and to be better people. As they go through new experiences, she would be right there to guide them. In their adult life, they would figure out many unsolved mysteries in their family, while several would still remain unsolved. The new beginnings of many activities and the challenges of life are still to come--the real happiness of life and what it is really about.
Download or read book Revival Leadership Vol 1 written by K. Bobie Amankwatia DMIN. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of books on spiritual leadership exist written by respected authors with unique insights and perspectives. This book on revival leadership is no exception. Dr. K. Bobie Amankwatia, having served in several ministry capacities, including youth leader, senior pastor, church planter, Bible college teacher/administrator and Christian counselor for over 40 years, brings a fresh perspective to this important subject. He explores the leadership principles that helped Zerubbabel usher the Jews from the doldrums of brokenness, desolation and discouragement back to their ancestral home. There they reclaimed and maintained their inheritance with renewed vigor and faith in their God. Today’s body of Christ can benefit from these principles. Some of the principles addressed in this book help leaders set priorities, move in faith and conviction to accomplish the seemingly impossible, and confront challenges to ensure harmony in times of revival.

Download or read book Shining out and Shining In written by James R. Newby and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a privilege to share through the ministry of writing this remarkable life with others. The life of Tom Tipton begins as a child in segregated Washington, DC; travels through the powerful music world of jazz, gospel music, and the old hymns; reaches into politics and the struggles and hopes of desegregation; explores worldwide evangelism; and is still being lived out in 2013 in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. It would be a mistake to suppose that Tom Tiptons biography is just one more in the array of books that represent the cult of personal exposure. His is different in kind. His message is one of encouragement to the thousands of people who are now discouraged. His story belongs in one sense to the literature of witness, but in a far deeper sense, it belongs to the literature of hope. It is my hope that those who read these words will have their own lives enriched, in the same way that Tom Tipton has enriched so many lives through his ministry of music. He is an amazing man who has the gift of bringing out the best in others. Prepare for a spiritual experience.
Download or read book The House on the Hill Lake District Revisited written by Grenda Walton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944, World War II was still raging, especially for English children. My father had been left with five children that he could not handle, and then we found ourselves in a strange place, an Orphanage in the Lake District of Great Britain. Many times, our nieces and nephews have asked my sisters and me about our time in the Orphanage, and I have promised them a book for years. I finally felt I could dredge up what I had pushed down for so long. These are stories about our lives, as well as some of the girls, in the home from 1944 to 1952, my memories of events that happened, good and bad, in those eight years. In many ways, that time gave me determination and fortitude to press on regardless, and I hope the remembering, even though a bit painful, helps in your understanding.
