Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

Book excerpt: A neglected American classic, written in subtle, soaring prose for which this underrated Kentucky writer was known, this is the spectacular coming of age story of a young, independent pioneering woman Set at the turn of the century, this is the moving story of Ellen Chesser, a young woman with a mind of her own. She and her family travel from one small community to another in rural Kentucky, eking out a living as itinerant farmworkers. Initially she feels isolated and lonely, resenting the hardship of her life and longing to be with her childhood friends. Yet slowly she learns what it means to fall in love and forges lasting friendships with other young people at the local dances. She is left stunned, therefore, when the man she is to marry comes to her to confess a dark secret. His past is shameful to him and heartbreaking for her but Ellen's independent spirit and strength of character sustain her in the aftermath. When further accusations come to light, they threaten to disturb the tranquility of her life and that of the community where she lives forever. As she grows older, Ellen Chesser is forced to confront the darker side of human nature but ultimately manages to overcome the difficulties she faces with a resolute dignity.

This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 971 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It was only after the consideration of many months and after much self-examination as to my motives, and after much earnest prayer, that I came to the conclusion to write this work. I have not taken one single step in the Lord's service, concerning which I have prayed so much. My great dislike to increasing the number of religious books would, in itself, have been sufficient to have kept me forever from it, had I not cherished the hope of being instrumental in this way to lead some of my brethren to value the Holy Scriptures more, and to judge by the standard of the word of God the principles on which they act."

Download or read book Coming to America written by Ian Broadbridge and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about a young Englishman's quest to live and work in America after he tragically lost both of his parents to natural causes within two days of each other whilst on holiday on the Mediterranean island of Malta in October 1981. He came to America--to New York City--on the thirtieth of June 1985 with just two hundred dollars in his pocket. He had no relatives' or friends' shoulders to lean on when things became rough; he just had his drive and entrepreneurship to keep him going. It was rough for him during the first seven years--living in squalor in Kansas City, Missouri; not having electric in apartments and not having a car in Columbia, South Carolina; getting involved in a life-threatening car accident in Perry, Florida; having bicycles stolen in Valdosta, Georgia; and working illegally for those seven years with fake Social Security numbers. He eventually ended up living and working in Columbia, where he met and fell in love with his wife-to-be whilst working at a restaurant as a waiter. He proposed to his wife-to-be just before Christmas 1991. In July 1992, the young man travelled back to England to see his siblings, nephews, and nieces, and also to get his B1/B2 visa renewed. When he attempted to come back to America, the INS--the Immigration and Naturalisation Service--cornered him after suspecting that he was coming to America to work illegally. After they searched his pockets, their suspicions were correct. They had no other choice than to deport him and send him back to the UK. He was allowed one telephone call--just like citizens that have been arrested are allowed. That call was made to his fiancee. Sobbing, he said for her to forget about him. He was then escorted back to the aeroplane on which he flew back to England, thinking that he would never see his fiancee again. That's not the end of the story; just like in the fairy tales where the knight in shining armour rescues the damsel in distress, it was the other way around in this story; the damsel rescued the knight by obtaining a passport, travelling by herself to England, and sweeping the knight off his feet by marrying him! It was relatively plain sailing after that for the young man to be able to come back to America to live and work legally and to be with the love of his life.
Download or read book Everyday Cryptography written by Keith M. Martin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptography is a vital technology that underpins the security of information in computer networks. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the role that cryptography plays in providing information security for everyday technologies such as the Internet, mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks, payment cards, Tor, and Bitcoin. This book is intended to be introductory, self-contained, and widely accessible. It is suitable as a first read on cryptography. Almost no prior knowledge of mathematics is required since the book deliberately avoids the details of the mathematics techniques underpinning cryptographic mechanisms. Instead our focus will be on what a normal user or practitioner of information security needs to know about cryptography in order to understand the design and use of everyday cryptographic applications. By focusing on the fundamental principles of modern cryptography rather than the technical details of current cryptographic technology, the main part this book is relatively timeless, and illustrates the application of these principles by considering a number of contemporary applications of cryptography. Following the revelations of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the book considers the wider societal impact of use of cryptography and strategies for addressing this. A reader of this book will not only be able to understand the everyday use of cryptography, but also be able to interpret future developments in this fascinating and crucially important area of technology.
