Book excerpt: This is a true account of a Seattle area youth soccer team that started out as an ordinary neighborhood recreational team, and not a very good one. The team hadn't won a game since first formed, three years earlier. The team was made up of suburban neighborhood kids, mostly from white middle class families. This all began to change when an experienced coach from Southern California moved into the area and took over the team. It wasn't more than a year or two later when a tall African boy who spoke limited English was sitting in the grass with wide eyes watching the team practice. The coach soon invited the boy to join the practice. He later learned that the boy and his family had just immigrated to the U.S. after having spent prior years living in a Kenya refugee camp. The boy had a brother, a year younger. Both boys had some decent soccer skills, but were far from being star players. They'd never played with a real ball before - only bundles of rags tied together and they hadn't played on a real team before, on a real field, with uniforms and proper cleats. These brothers from Ethiopia were invited to join the team and soon after told some other boys in their ESL class (English as a second language) about how much fun they were having playing soccer for this team. Soon, a boy from Nepal joined the team. Then a boy from Japan, then from Gambia, Fiji, the Netherlands, China and so on... Within a few years, the team was completely transformed, now with more players from other countries than suburban white kids. The team went on to win numerous league titles and two Washington State Championships. The team's accomplishments, however, are but a small part of the story. Though most of the families could barely afford even soccer shoes; most of the moms and or dads could cook, which was their loving and delicious contributions. The team held get-togethers where the various families would bring dishes from their native countries - virtual International buffets. Under normal circumstances it would be highly unlikely that most of these folks would have even spent a few minutes together. Yet, the parents, the players, the siblings bonded, becoming friends, though all very different economically, racially, religiously, culturally and more....Many of these immigrant boys when on to graduate college, though few in their family had even finished high school. Along the way, the coach and others helped many of these boys. Some otherwise may have joined gangs or been involved with drugs. Instead, most of them learned important values such as responsibility, a strong work ethic, how to be a team player and many other valuable life lessons. At a time when immigrants are insulted and belittled by our President and other political leaders, these boys grew up to become responsible adults and contributors to our economy. This was a unique team and in a small way, they showed those who knew them how our nation and world could be if we all embraced our differences rather than judging others by our own limited culture, beliefs and narrow upbringing. Though almost a decade has passed since the team played its last game, many of the boys and families still remain close. If you asked any of these boys, I'm sure they'd tell you that this International team provided them with some of the greatest experiences of their lives. The parents would likely say the same, as would their Coach. We All Wore Blue is a truly inspirational story that anyone who has ever played, coached or just loves sports or who likes reading feel-good stories is sure to enjoy.

Book excerpt: In 1941, Theo Coster was a student at the Amsterdam Jewish Lyceum, 1 in a class of 28 Jewish children that the Nazis had segregated from the rest of the Dutch population. Among Theo's fellow students was a young Anne Frank, whose diary would later become one of the most important documents of the Holocaust.

The mutants that we know nothing about. We don't know where they came from. We don't know why they're here. All we know is that in the desolate city of Pittsburgh, where every adult has mysteriously disappeared, all we have left our each other and the beasties. That's the main question...isn't it. Who's going to survive first, us or them. I am Samuel Riter and I will find the cause of this disease, or die trying. That's what I'm supposed to say...right?

Book excerpt: “Deadly Ties is just an all-around amazing story. The suspense will have readers at the edge of their seats!” —Fallen Angel Reviews: Five Angels: Recommended Read Some bonds are love . . . Taylor Reese is done with men—especially egotistical ones—no matter how charming they may be. The only exception to her “no men” rule is her eight-year-old adopted son, Ryan, who is wonderfully adjusted considering the environment his parents forced him to endure. Both are starting over in the Washington, D.C., area and aren’t looking for anything more than peace and quiet. Thanks to Gavin Kinncaid, that peace and quiet is nothing more then a fleeting dream. Some ties can never be broken . . . Dr. Gavin Kinncaid, one of the most successful doctors in his field and well aware of it, knows women—or so he thinks, until he meets Taylor Reese and realizes he doesn’t know anything about the opposite sex. Taylor is nothing like any woman he’s ever met. More than that, she’s the only woman he’s ever wanted to strangle. But when fate throws them together on a rain-swept deserted road, passion soon twists their feelings into more than antagonism. First desire, then friendship, and finally love. And some bonds are deadly . . . As the three of them grow closer, learning to trust and building bonds none of them ever thought they’d have, a menace approaches. A menace that will destroy each of them and the bonds they've worked so hard to forge: Ryan's mother has escaped from prison, and she has only one plan—to rip this happy family apart and reclaim what she considers hers, no matter the cost.

Download or read book Among Hibiscus and Roses written by Sun-Hae Kim and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, Sun-Hae Kim met a female student at a British museum who was studying medieval women's social activities. She was unable to find information from women at that time because they didn't leave much in written form. She then looked around for some nurses' autobiographies and again found very little information available, even by Florence Nightingale. In response to this lack of personal writing from nurses, she presents Among Hibiscus and Roses, an account of her years as a nurse. She tells of the challenges of being an army nurse and of the fun times with her fellow nurses. She approached each new challenge with expectation and the hope that she would be helping more people. When she immigrated to the United States, she faced new cultures, languages, and social life; she met many new and interesting people. Throughout her transition, she was filled with wonder and excitement for her new life. Most importantly, she recounts the challenges and rewards of being a nurse for over thirty-seven years, in both South Korea and the United States. She lived proudly a life that was not old fashioned and yet still proved she could be happy and healthy without indulging in drugs, alcohol, sex, and gambling. Sharing the too-often-unheard story of a nurse, Among Hibiscus and Roses describes a unique and out-of-the-ordinary life journey.

Download or read book With God on Our Side written by William Curtis Martin and published by Broadway. This book was released on 2005 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of the Religious Right is one of the most important political and cultural stories of our time. To many, this controversial movement threatens to upset the nation's delicate balance of religious and secular interests. To others, the Religious Right is valiantly struggling to preserve religious liberty and to prove itself as the last, best hope to save America's soul. In With God on Our Side --the first balanced account of conservative Christians' impact on post-war politics--William Martin paints a vivid and authoritative portrait of America's most powerful political interest group. Although its members now number between forty and sixty million people, the Religious Right has not always carried the tremendous--and growing--political clout it enjoys today. A hundred years ago, scattered groups of conservative Christians worked fervently to spread the Gospel, but their involvement in politics was marginal. Early in this century, however, a series of charismatic and ambitious leaders began transforming the movement; by the election of John F. Kennedy as our first Catholic president, the Religious Right had found its voice. Politics and religion began mixing as never before. From Richard Nixon's strategic manipulation of Graham's religious influence in the 1970s, to Ronald Reagan's association with Falwell's Moral Majority in the 1980s, to the Christian Coalition's emergence as a slick, sophisticated political machine, the line separating the pulpit from the presidency became increasingly blurred. Now, preachers such as Graham, Falwell, and Pat Robertson preside over ministries so vast and well organized that most politicians can ill afford to ignore their views--or lose their votes. In recent years, the Religious Right's political influence has propelled it into spheres beyond pure politics. Race relations, abortion and reproductive rights, school curricula, the nature and role of the family--conservative Christians have embraced all of these socially charged issues, and their activism has irrevocably altered the way America confronts its thorniest problems. How does a free society draw the line between Church and State without removing religious conviction from public life? What motivates individual Americans to do battle in the culture wars? Most importantly, when politicians and religiously motivated activists join forces, who holds the reins? Drawing on over 100 new interviews with key figures in the movement, William Martin brilliantly captures the spirit of the age as he explores both sides of this dramatic debate. Written in conjunction with the producers of the public television series of the same name, this landmark book is essential reading for all Americans--conservative and liberal, fundamentalist and atheist--who care about the spiritual health and political future of our country. From the Hardcover edition.

Download or read book When Angels Fight written by Leslie F. King and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on The Today Show When she was fifteen years old, Leslie King ran away from an abusive home, looking for a better life and longing for real love. What she found instead was a man who wooed her just long enough to trap her in a life of prostitution. She became one of the many thousands of trafficked individuals in the United States, a number that continues to rise—in the biggest cities and in the most idyllic towns. As is true for so many in similar situations, life was nothing but brokenness and pain for Leslie. After years of hopelessness, she finally decided to take her own life. And then God spoke. With his promise that he was with her and had mighty things for her to accomplish ringing in her ears, she got off the streets, got clean, and got to work on the mission to which he'd called her. Now Leslie is a passionate and heroic advocate for other trafficked women and teenage girls in her community and across the country. More than a gritty, no-holds-barred deliverance story, When Angels Fight includes powerful advice from Leslie and those she's encountered in her work—police officers, judges, and other advocates and activists. She also shows you what YOU can do to make a real difference in your own community. Her call from God includes marshaling others to the cause and equipping them to fight alongside her and the angels who battle for God's children—just as they once fought for her.
