Under pressure from her new husband, she is persuaded to send the girls to an orphanage – not knowing that the papers she has signed will entitle them to do what they like with the children.

Among them – without their family's consent or knowledge – are Rita and Rosie, the throwaway children.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Roll with It and Tune It Out comes a funny, moving, and “not to be missed” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) middle grade novel about a boy who uses his unusual talent for decoding people’s trash to try to fit in at his new school. Hugo is not happy about being dragged halfway across the state of Colorado just because his dad had a midlife crisis and decided to become a ski instructor. It’d be different if Hugo weren’t so tiny, if girls didn’t think he was adorable like a puppy in a purse and guys didn’t call him “leprechaun” and rub his head for luck. But here he is, the tiny new kid on his first day of middle school. When his fellow students discover his remarkable talent for garbology, the science of studying trash to tell you anything you could ever want to know about a person, Hugo becomes the cool kid for the first time in his life. But what happens when it all goes to his head?
Download or read book Who Faked the World s Oldest Bible written by David W. Daniels and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the devil has cooked up a plot against your Bible, would you want to know it? Conspiracy theories are destroyed by solid evidence. Author David W. Daniels came to the point where he could no longer ignore the mounting evidence. He was schooled in Bible college and seminary to believe that the King James was hopelessly obsolete. But the mounting confusion around the new Bible translations left him wondering. He already knew how to use modern search techniques to quickly discover relevant evidence. He soon learned that the Bible version issue was more than a baseless conspiracy. Many new facts had become available shedding light on the history of Bible versions. He learned that the scholars who decided over 100 years ago to “fix” the King James may not have had the best intentions. His discovery of Satan’s plan to damage God’s words is chronicled in a series of books. In 2017, his book, "Is the 'World’s Oldest Bible' a Fake?" presented heavy evidence against Codex Sinaiticus, the manuscript that scholars claim is the world’s oldest Bible. This book attempts to answer the next question: Who Faked the “World’s Oldest Bible”? It reads like a mystery novel, but over 100 illustrations and more than 300 footnotes gives it the force of a graduate research paper. The murky narrative of the discovery and evaluation of the Sinaiticus becomes much clearer with this new book. Daniels leaves it up to the reader to decide how this might affect his or her eternal destiny.

Download or read book Throw Away Child Finding Home written by Jacque Paul and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From time to time, we stray from our core values, our safe place, our home. Perhaps we choose to wander because life is changing; perhaps it's a fear of staying. Whatever the reason, self-concept is included in the journey, and we sometimes wonder if God knows where we are. A musically gifted child, Anna Katjea, Kate Winslow's life began in West Virginia. The Winslow house wasn't a happy place, and Mama sometimes had bruises and cried because of Kate. The day finally came when Mama said she had to leave. Fifteen years old, and after asking a friend for help, Kate moved to Paris for music reasons. By the time she turned thirty-five, life had taken many turns. She thought she was in love once. After all, he told her he loved her. It was a lie, and Kate hid her heart. Later, she married her manager and business partner. It wasn't an ideal arrangement, and he divorced her for someone he said he loved. Kate kept his name, scoffed at love, hardened her heart, and asked God if He cared. Defiant and cynical, she feels unworthy of knowing a holy God, and it's difficult to reconcile sins when they keep coming to mind. She says she's sorry. Is He listening? Can she trust Him to forgive her? Or does she have to heal herself, take care of herself, like she did as a child? Seeking answers in academia, Kate becomes Dr. Anna K. Moyer, psychologist. She believes her home resides in the place she's standing, and she's asking God, "Will I ever get it right?"

Download or read book Educating the Throw Away Children What We Can Do to Help Students at Risk written by Joyce Taylor Gibson and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1997 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Throw-away" children fail academically, behave poorly in class, or refuse to follow directions; they are the special-needs kids, the minority-language kids, the disruptive kids, the pregnant kids, the emotionally disturbed kids, even the passive, forgotten kids. By combining practical strategies, research, and personal stories, this volume presents a number of successful programs for children at-risk, including: a charter school designed to address the needs of expelled middle school children; a Vancouver school dedicated to teaching the native Indian children previously educated on reservations; and a program for high-school dropouts with a competency-based curriculum and a shared leadership approach. The authors share the knowledge gained through their experiences: how educators can collaborate with the other significant adults in a child's life to lay the groundwork for academic improvement; how to reengage teenagers who have given up on school; and how high expectations and innovative instructional techniques can be powerful tools for creating student success. This volume of New Directions for School Leadership demonstrates that educators can personalize the schooling process and facilitate students' growth into intelligent, resourceful problem solvers of the future. This is the 6th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for School Leadership. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.
