Book excerpt: "Ruth has chronicled a brave, bold and honest journey. Her quest to record an eye opening bird's eye view into the educational systems of America is sure to help many souls successfully navigate the valleys and hills that lie ahead as we strive for freedom in a world that often buries its jewels in the muck and mire of political correctness. Indeed, we were born to shine, and this book will help us to believe." (Dr. Alveda C. King, Founder of King for America.) "I want to encourage you to take the time not just to read but think through this book by my dear friend, Ruth Stafford. She has shown great courage to honestly, yet lovingly challenge the prevalent thinking in our country. Ruth asks us to reconsider the value of all people, born and pre-born, and to understand that when we choose one life, we really devalue all life. It is imperative that we get honest with ourselves, even question the "status quo" thinking and begin to realize that our only hope is to begin to see people through God's eyes." (Lead Pastor, Chets Creek Church) "Ruth boldly opens the door to societal problems, exposing how a child's home life affects everything: morality, goals, intellect, dreams and character. She declares, 'Reading is knowledge.'" "With facets of poetry, life experiences, statistics, and resources, Ruth woos the reader towards a shinning, conclusive hope. In this book a window opens allowing God's light to illuminate the dark places. Silently, a God consciousness streams in, restoring the broken spirit in practical application. Open the mind. Breathe the truth. Live the faith. Care for one another. Make a difference. Be a conduit of His light." (Billie Cash, Author, Speaker, Motivator) wwwbilliecash.com

Download or read book Born to Shine written by Kendra Scott and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER This authentic and dynamic memoir from the CEO of Kendra Scott Jewelry delivers inspiration, leadership lessons, and spellbinding storytelling. For twenty years, Kendra Scott built her eponymous jewelry company from a hobby and an idea into a company worth more than a billion dollars, creating beautiful and affordable pieces with signature-cut natural gemstones packaged in a sunny yellow box. By any measure, she's the woman who has it all: a self-made billionaire, a generous philanthropist, and a mother of three with a squad of strong female friendships. Sounds pretty perfect, right? But perfection is a myth that doesn't serve any of us. A myth that encourages us to assume that we know what other people are going through, to judge each other on appearances and reputations, to present the best versions of ourselves and pretend like we've got it all together even when everything is falling apart. Perfection isn't just a lie, it's exhausting, and Kendra is tired of it. In this vulnerable, wise, and laugh-out-loud book, Kendra takes us on a journey of personal stories and hard-earned life lessons, from her humble beginnings as an awkward, bullied young girl in small-town Wisconsin to launching a business in her spare bedroom with $500. With every pitfall, misstep, and failure, Kendra builds a life--and a career--rooted in joy, purpose, and doing good, a life she wants for every reader. With heart and humor, Kendra reminds us that not all that glitters is gold, and that there is no level of success that can insulate you from what it means to be a human being: that life is as messy as it is magical, that bad things happen to good people for no good reason, and that a good life does not mean a perfect one.

That fact has never been clearer than now, when her dad's new job has landed them both at Chumley Prep, a posh private school where everyone seems to be the best at something and where Piper definitely doesn't fit in. Bursting with humor, heart, science, possibilities, and big questions, Shine! is a story about finding your place in the universe--a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be.

Download or read book The Masculinity Manifesto written by Ryan Michler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. Men have a moral obligation to lead themselves and others well. Unfortunately, much of society has bought into and perpetuated the misguided idea that men have become the enemy of all that is right and good in a virtuous and thriving society. In short, even the concept of a Patriarch (which is simply the male leader of a home, organization, or community) has become taboo, and masculinity itself has been written off as a toxic and destructive force. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address. The Masculinity Manifesto empowers men to find true purpose and fulfillment by taking responsibility for their lives and serving others. A man who exercises his responsibility to lead himself and others well is not to be feared, undermined, or rejected but embraced, respected, and honored. Men, after all, aren’t the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of what popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole.
