Book excerpt: Martin's been diagnosed with ADHD, but he feels something about his diagnosis isn't right. The Ritalin he's prescribed doesn't seem to make a difference. When Martin's grades continue to sink no matter how hard he tries, his father writes him off as lazy and just plain stupid. His dad is convinced that Martin just needs to focus more on his studies and less on making movies. One night while out pursuing his passion on the city streets with his camera, Martin meets Stick and is introduced to the energetic and exciting pastime of parkour -- free-running. While filming Stick's flips and tricks, Martin begins to see a connection between how his brain interprets the world, all jumbled and fast-moving and out of order, and what the free-runners see. Camera in hand, Martin sets out to make a video that will show his dad what he sees, and hopefully get him to understand that Martin's real learning disability, dyslexia, has never been properly diagnosed.

Download or read book 100 Ways God Speaks to You written by Robert A. Avila and published by Platinum Pearl Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ ‘Call out,’ the voice asserted. This direction edged into my brain and flooded my mental realm…” God can speak to any of us, anytime—but how do we hear Him? Christian author, Robert Avila, didn’t always recognize God speaking to him, until he discovered a pattern. In a collection of short stories from his life, Avila shares specific moments he acted upon promptings from a still small voice—saw the outcome—and noticed God using him as a vehicle to carry out tiny—and sometimes enormous—miracles. But how did Robert know it wasn’t just his own thoughts? In this collection of interactions with God told in short-story form, he explains how God breaks the chains of religious indoctrination and sets us on the narrow path. He teaches us the techniques God uses to draw us nearer to Him and guide us toward our life’s purposes. Perhaps God is speaking to you, but you don’t recognize His voice. Just like there are hundreds of radio waves—some producing clear sounds, others inaudible—there are more than 100 ways God communicates. In this book, Robert Avila teaches you how to transform your faith—tune-in—and hear Him.

Download or read book The Yard written by A.E. Hook and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once you have ridden a horse you may then progress to owning your own horse; if you do it will no longer be just a hobby but it will become a way of life. The horse you own will be with you hopefully until the end, so owning a horse is not a decision to be taken lightly as it is life changing. True horse owners are a very dedicated group of people often doing two jobs just to keep their horse; it is a commitment like no other but they are worth all the effort and cost as they provide a richness and a quality of life that I certainly would not want to be without. Our Olympic equestrian team showed all the aspects of the horse, its strength, its agility, its gracefulness. For me the Dressage shows us the horse as his best; in harmony with a human working silently together to produce such astonishing movements. All this from an animal that aimlessly grazed until humans harnessed its power and taught it a new language; horsemanship.
