Download or read book The Big Hustle written by Jim Wahlberg and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jim Wahlberg went to prison the second time at 22 years old, he was sentenced to six to nine years for breaking and entering, bargained down from life for home invasion. He had staggered into a Boston cop’s apartment, helping himself to the sellable stuff and all the beer in the fridge. The cop came home, found Jim passed out at the kitchen table, beat the hell out of him, and arrested him. But Wahlberg, a 130-pound kid from Dorchester, had learned some things from his life on the street and his first prison sentence. He knew how to survive. And he knew that if he wanted to avoid serving the full sentence, he would have to do something. He did what he was best at: He hustled. He would create the illusion that he was trying to change, that he’d become the model prisoner, not a guy hell-bent on getting out while he was still young enough to drink more, steal more, and do more drugs. He didn’t know, though, that the Catholic priest he was trying to hustle was actually hustling him. The Big Hustle is the story of a redeemed life and a family’s healing. This is the no-holds-barred, unvarnished, and sometimes brutal true story of Jim Wahlberg, the fifth of nine kids growing up in a working-class Irish Catholic neighborhood outside of Boston, hustling for attention any way he could get it, which led him to the biggest hustle of his life. Against all odds he got clean, he got out, and he got the girl. Jim dedicated his new life as a former addict to working with addicts, and for years has spread the word that recovery is possible. But nothing could have prepared him for what came next. His discovery that his own son was an addict threw Jim into a crisis—one that led him deeper into his faith and led to healing he never thought possible. This book is a testament to God’s power and an invitation to all of us to hope in the darkest places. About the Author Jim is the fifth oldest Wahlberg. Like his brothers Donny and Mark, Jim recovered from his tough upbringing in the streets of Dorchester to become producer, writer, and director of films, including The Circle of Addiction, What About the Kids?, and The Lookalike. Jim is the executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, created to improve the quality of life for inner city youth through a working partnership with other youth organizations. Jim and his wife live in South Florida and have three children.

Download or read book My Alabaster Box written by PL Bennett and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Marys Alabaster Box with the precious ointment that she poured over Jesus to anoint Him, we have packed My Alabaster Box full of precious help, advice, support, and guidance, with little pockets of inspiration for the Christian journey. My Alabaster Box outlines the origin and foundation of the Faith, why there is a need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and how the world came to be in the situation it is in. It dispels some of the myths, misconceptions, and misunderstandings that have penetrated our society, becoming firmly intertwined into the Faith. If you are looking for a basic understanding of Christianity in simple terms, have been silently struggling through the years, have fallen away and are seeking to find a way back, or have more questions than answers, you will be strengthened by My Alabaster Box with its delicate balance between Bible doctrines, teachings, and simple guidance. Learn how to develop and nurture your relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and studying the Bible. My Alabaster Box brings all the elements of the Christian journey together into one overarching summation that can be understood by someone with little or no experience of the Faith. Guidance is based on scriptural references taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible. Learn how to flow in your calling. Just as a young river springs up, flows quickly over stones and around large rocks then matures as it runs deep and fast, aging into gentle meanderings with its ebbs and flows, creating lakes, watering the land, and joining with other rivers and lakes to avoid becoming dry at the end of the course. Finally, making its way out into the vast ocean.
