Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The snow swirled around, chilling me emotionally and physically. I tried to hold on to every last bit of her energy and essence. And then they closed the doors. She was gone. Jesse will soon be home from his mission and Claire has been faithfully waiting for him. She is a recent convert to the church and has blossomed while he has been away preaching the gospel. Chaos swirls around Claire as she struggles with the expected return of Jesse and as her Grandmother’s health slips away a little more each day. What she doesn’t expect is how much this uncertainty and the loss of her Grandma can cause a storm to brew in her soul. Just like the wind of change that she fought to tame when she first met Jesse, this storm keeps growing within her, forcing her to loosen her firm grip on hope. She has always been the damsel in distress and Jesse has always been there for her. But everyone she loves has been taken from her one by one, and she can’t bear to lose Jesse too. Will he propose? Will it be too late? Join Claire as her journey continues, as she learns about herself and her faith, and whether or not she has enough hope to be there for Jesse when he needs her the most.

Download or read book Things They Never Told Me in Therapy School written by Peg Blackstone and published by Port Gamble Pr. This book was released on 1991 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They leave out a lot of important stuff in Therapy School," Blackstone begins, "like what to do when you're leading group & your skirt falls down." And from there it gets funny.... "The best thing I've read!" (Mary McClure Goulding, MSW, Co-developer of REDECISION THERAPY) "Insightful-delightful!" (Denton Roberts, M.Div., author of ABLE & EQUAL) "This book is a treasure!" (Joan Minninger, Ph.D., author of TOTAL RECALL) "Peg Blackstone has to be the funniest therapist ever to stroke a psyche!" (Patrick McManus, author of A FINE & PLEASANT MISERY). THINGS THEY NEVER TOLD ME IN THERAPY SCHOOL offers a unique, heartwarming look at real psychotherapy. Numerous clinical & personal anecdotes illustrate Blackstone's joy in her work & continuing high regard for clients' strength & resiliency. Her humorous, sensible approach challenges popular myths about therapy & human nature. In this work, Blackstone does for psychotherapy what James Herriott did for veterinary practice in ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL. She also prompts readers to examine their fundamental assumptions about human nature. Are people basically "good"? Can they really change in significant ways? Is almost everyone "addicted" or otherwise afflicted without knowing it? Current, entertaining & thought provoking reading.

Download or read book Music in Disney s Animated Features written by James Bohn and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Music in Disney’s Animated Features James Bohn investigates how music functions in Disney animated films and identifies several vanguard techniques used in them. In addition, he also presents a history of music in Disney animated films, as well as biographical information on several of the Walt Disney Studios’ seminal composers. The popularity and critical acclaim of Disney animated features truly is built as much on music as it is on animation. Beginning with Steamboat Willie and continuing through all of the animated features created under Disney’s personal supervision, music was the organizing element of Disney’s animation. Songs establish character, aid in narrative, and fashion the backbone of the Studios’ movies from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through The Jungle Book and beyond. Bohn underscores these points while presenting a detailed history of music in Disney’s animated films. The book includes research done at the Walt Disney Archives as well as materials gathered from numerous other facilities. In his research of the Studios’ notable composers, Bohn includes perspectives from family members, thus lending a personal dimension to his presentation of the magical Studios’ musical history. The volume’s numerous musical examples demonstrate techniques used throughout the Studios’ animated classics.

Download or read book The Colored Boys written by John Hunter Parker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colored Boys is Top Gun II with all the thrills, dangers, and aerial exploits of the first, only better. This is the story of aviators who fly F-14 Tomcats, amazing, complex, and phenomenal machines possessing technology that was light-years ahead of their time. Two black men from very different backgrounds believe that they can break into the demanding world of naval tactical aviation and learn to fly, operate, and master these machines and the technology they possess. While young and naive, these men are also amazingly confident, determined, and driven type-A personalities who take on the challenges that their chosen profession and dynamic careers demand. Told through their eyes, their personalities, and their experiences, we follow them as they evolve from terrified aviation officer candidates to commissioned officers into seasoned aviators. The Colored Boys follows them from their induction in Naval Officer Candidates School, through the myriad of challenges, terror, and joys of flight school, the demands of the replacement air group, and then to the demands of squadron life in the fleet. They train, develop, teach, and grow, and then they are thrust into the life-and-death struggles of war in the Persian Gulf. There, they enter combat and must fight for their survival in a war that tests their mettle as human beings, as aviators, and as men. The Colored Boys is also about the navythe real navy, a beloved but highly traditionalized institution that must grapple with the integration of these men into its culture, into its strict caste system of officers, persons commissioned and positioned to command sailors, and the men and women they command and serve who sometimes unconsciously, sometimes quite consciously, resist change and have deeply ingrained revulsion, prejudices, and aversion to black men that they sometimes dont even recognize or believe exists within themselves. This is the story of how these two men face, tackle, and overcome the invisible and mostly covert but highly prevalent racism and still excel in the already highly demanding world of naval aviation. This is the story of these phenomenal flying machines, the amazing men who fly them, and the demanding missions that they perform daily as they serve this nation as members of the United States Navy. Two African American men who fight to prove to others, to the navy, and ultimately to themselves that they do indeed belong, that they can hack it, that they too have the right stuff. They are many things to many people but ultimately they prove that they are not merely black men, not just commissioned officers, and not just Americans. They are naval aviators.
