Download or read book Help for Troubled Destinies written by Taiwo Olusegun Ayeni and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-12-28 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help for troubled Destinies begins with examination of what God did for us in the beginning, the foundation of empowerment laid for us to excel, where we missed it and Gods follow-up rescue plan. This background approach clearly shows us that we were empowered to succeed from the beginning as revealed in mans encounter with God in Genesis Chapter 1:28. There God blessed man and He gave him five faith commands to pursue: be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and have dominion. From this perspective the book goes on to express the fact that because man had been positioned to excel he ought not to experience troubled destinies. Several of these were examined for the readers attention and solutions to them also proffered. It concludes with testimonies that God is beautiful for every situation.
Download or read book Troubled Water written by Jens Mühling and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the countries bordering the Black Sea told through the stories of the people who live there. Fringing the Black Sea is a diverse array of countries, some centuries old and others emerging only after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Jens Mühling travels through this region, telling the stories of the people he meets along the way in order to paint a picture of the mix of cultures found here and to understand the present against a history stretching back to the arrival of Ancient Greek settlers and beyond. A fluent Russian speaker with a knack for gaining the trust of those he meets, Mühling brings together a cast of characters as diverse as the stories he hears, all of whom are willing to tell him their complex, contradictory, and often fantastical tales full of grief and legend. He meets descendants of the so-called Pontic Greeks, whom Stalin deported to Central Asia and who have now returned; Circassians who fled to Syria a century ago and whose great-great-grandchildren have returned to Abkhazia; and members of ethnic minorities like the Georgian Mingrelians or Bulgarian Muslims, expelled to Turkey in the summer of 1989. Mühling captures the region’s uneasy alliance of tradition and modernity and the diverse humanity of those who live there.
Download or read book Troubled Refuge written by Chandra Manning and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of What This Cruel War Was Over, a vivid portrait of the Union army’s escaped-slave refugee camps and how they shaped the course of emancipation and citizenship in the United States. Chandra Manning casts in a wholly original light what it was like to escape slavery, how emancipation happened, and how citizenship in the United States was transformed. This reshaping of hard structures of power would matter not only for slaves turned citizens, but for all Americans. Integrating a wealth of new findings, this vivid portrait of the Union army’s escaped-slave refugee camps shows how they shaped the course of emancipation and citizenship in the United States. Drawing on records of the Union and Confederate armies, the letters and diaries of soldiers, transcribed testimonies of former slaves, and more, Manning allows us to accompany the black men, women, and children who sought out the Union army in hopes of achieving autonomy for themselves and their communities. It also raised, for the first time, humanitarian questions about refugees in wartime and legal questions about civil and military authority with which we still wrestle, as well as redefined American citizenship, to the benefit, but also to the lasting cost of, African Americans.

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series The Edgar, Shamus, and Anthony award-winning Rick Riordan delivers a spellbinding novel of a man on an edge so extreme that his fall will destroy not only him—but all that he holds dear. Cold Springs Chadwick’s life was balanced on a knife’s edge—his career, his marriage, his relationship with his dangerously troubled daughter. And then one autumn night, the worst possible thing happened…. Now, a decade later, Chadwick’s heart is on the mend. Working for an old military buddy, he saves kids for a living, escorting troubled teens to a Texas wilderness school that specializes in the toughest brand of love. Until he gets a phone call that threatens to shatter his new life. Mallory Zedman is taking the same terrible path Chadwick’s own daughter once took. Defiant and out of control, Mallory is determined to destroy herself and anyone who tries to stop her. No sooner does Chadwick snatch her off the streets than he discovers she is wanted for questioning in a brutal murder—a slaying that seems directly linked to Chadwick’s past.To save Mallory, tough love will not be enough. Chadwick must find the truth behind the murder—and in doing so revisit the infidelities, shattered promises, and violent passions that cracked his world apart. And he must jeopardize the one thing he still has left to lose—a slim hope of redemption.

Download or read book Crossing Troubled Waters written by Elayne Grant Archer and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has taken three years since my husband was killed in active service for me to get back to normal—or as normal as one can expect to be when the entire pattern of one’s life has been changed, and new threads have to be woven into a different design." These are the brave, wise words of Phyllis Grant Archer, a war widow, Canadian immigrant, and feminist before her time. Born in London in 1911, Phyllis led an exciting life, overcoming the challenges of a tumultuous childhood, discrimination as a working woman in the 1930s, the birth of her son during the Blitz, and the death of her husband in the war, just after the birth of her daughter. Seeking to start anew, Phyllis took her children to Toronto in 1944. Once there, however, she often faced hostility as a single, working mother and immigrant. She struggled to find safe and affordable housing and childcare and to balance her roles as breadwinner and caregiver. But this is not a misery memoir. Ultimately, the memoirist and her small family survive and thrive through a combination of “just getting on with it,” as well as wit, humour, and the solace of literature. The memoirist’s daughter, Elayne Archer, has edited and annotated Crossing Troubled Waters. Elayne’s “afterthoughts” at the end of each chapter put the memoir into perspective, observing not only Phyllis’ personal growth but also the shifting political and social landscape in terms of women’s roles and parenting standards. The result is an unforgettable story about resilience and forging ahead in the face of hardship.

Download or read book Troubled Hero written by Randy K. Mills and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kenneth Kays was born in the conservative farm country of southern Illinois. The sixties were in full flower by the time Ken went off to college and discovered a world quite different from the one back home. On campus, drug culture flourished and the Vietnam War had polarized students. College meant a draft exemption, but in spring of 1969 Kays flunked out of school and soon received his draft notification. Denied conscientious objector status, he fled to Canada only to return. Yielding at last to pressure from family and community leaders, he joined up." "In deference to his nonviolent beliefs, the Army assigned him to a medical unit; he refused to carry a weapon. On May 7, 1970, after only seventeen days in Vietnam and just one day after joining a new platoon, the young medic found himself in a ferocious fire fight. Kays' actions at Fire Support Base Maureen would bring him the nation's highest award for military valor. The fighting that night at FSB Maureen was four hours of terrifying chaos. Seven men died. Yet it was just another unheralded skirmish toward the end of a long and fruitless war. Kays returned home with little fanfare and, with other vets, struggled to reconcile his anti-war beliefs and what he and others had done in Vietnam."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book A Troubled Peace written by L. M. Elliott and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: March 1945 World War II may be ending, but for nineteen-year-old pilot Henry Forester the conflict still rages. Shot down behind enemy lines in France, Henry endured a dangerous trek to freedom, relying on the heroism of civilians and Resistance fighters to stay alive. But back home in Virginia, Henry is still reliving air battles with Hitler's Luftwaffe and his torture by the Gestapo. Mostly, Henry can't stop worrying about the safety of those who helped him escape—especially one French boy, Pierre, who, because of Henry, may have lost everything. When Henry returns to France to find Pierre, he is stunned by the brutal after-math of combat: starvation, cities shattered by Allied bombing, and the shocking return of concentration camp survivors. Amid the rubble of war, Henry must begin a daring search for a lost boy—plus a fight to regain his own internal peace and the trust of the girl he loves. L. M. Elliott's sequel to Under a War-Torn Sky is an astonishing account of surviving the fallout from war.
