Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The twentieth anniversary edition of the classic story of an incredible group of students and the teacher who inspired them, featuring updates on the students’ lives, new journal entries, and an introduction by Erin Gruwell Now a public television documentary, Freedom Writers: Stories from the Heart In 1994, an idealistic first-year teacher in Long Beach, California, named Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. She had intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust. She was met by uncomprehending looks—none of her students had heard of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. So she rebooted her entire curriculum, using treasured books such as Anne Frank’s diary as her guide to combat intolerance and misunderstanding. Her students began recording their thoughts and feelings in their own diaries, eventually dubbing themselves the “Freedom Writers.” Consisting of powerful entries from the students’ diaries and narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an unforgettable story of how hard work, courage, and determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students. In the two decades since its original publication, the book has sold more than one million copies and inspired a major motion picture Freedom Writers. And now, with this twentieth-anniversary edition, readers are brought up to date on the lives of the Freedom Writers, as they blend indispensable takes on social issues with uplifting stories of attending college—and watch their own children follow in their footsteps. The Freedom Writers Diary remains a vital read for anyone who believes in second chances.

Download or read book Glory written by Jona Bryant and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jona Bryant was born Jonathan Bryant in February of 1988. I knew he would be a king before he made his appearance. He started his ascent during a blizzard and took 24 1⁄2 hours to make his entry into a cold world laced with warm love just for him. Despite several brushes with death that began during his birth, Jona defied all odds and grew to be a tender-hearted boy who felt deeply. By age eight, he changed noticeably and began showing signs of suppressed anger. I encouraged him to keep a journal, a practice he’s continued. Jona’s writing has always been awe inspiring. His descriptive method leaves the taste of sweet nectar on your tongue and the sun’s glow blinding your eyes. His writing style is influenced by “Floetry”, who put poetry to music, and the writings of David and Solomon in the King James Version of the Bible. The name Jona resulted from a conversation with his late Aunt Tillie who encouraged him to stop running (like Jonah in the Bible) and face his destiny. With this book, Jona is finally moving toward his throne.
Download or read book Escape from the Golden Cage written by Arti Kotak Triklani and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why can’t a girl help her father financially? Why can’t a girl be the pillar of the family when tough time blows in? Why is a girl asked to give up on her dreams after her marriage? Why are daughters and daughter-in-laws always differentiated as far as their dreams , freedom and ambitions are concerned? Why can’t a woman support a woman for her progress? Who is responsible for a woman’s bondage and servility? The society or a woman herself? This book throws light on the social issues which take place within four walls of a house, especially in a woman’s life. These are not the apparent problems like terrorism, religious rebels, pollution issues, racisms, global warming, etc. These are the hidden issues which suppress and destroy the entire life of women silently, especially those women who have their own wings to fly. Since centuries, women have been getting dominated for some or other reasons. Still this tyranny has not lost its stability. Before she used to be dominated physically, in this century she faces the oligarchy mentally by not getting permission from the society to have her own space. Many a times, she is not allowed to have her own space even for good works. Sometimes she is prevented by the men or women and sometimes she herself accepts her slavery. Why women force women to accept that there is no life of a woman after marriage. This negative thought binds her to make her marriage life doomed. She is ready to gain the responsibility that is why she gets married happily with positive thoughts but along with the responsibilities of the entire family if she steals sometime for herself to do the work of her own interest, what is wrong in that? Aditi, the protagonist of the story cannot give the answers of all the above questions which are faced by various Indian women but she finds the solution of it and the solution is ‘Ignorance and Escape’. Her consistency of ignoring the social tyranny for women’s honour and independence takes her towards her career goals.
Download or read book Lies We Believe About God written by Wm. Paul Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

Download or read book A More Beautiful Question written by Warren Berger and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To get the best answer-in business, in life-you have to ask the best possible question. Innovation expert Warren Berger shows that ability is both an art and a science. It may be the most underappreciated tool at our disposal, one we learn to use well in infancy-and then abandon as we grow older. Critical to learning, innovation, success, even to happiness-yet often discouraged in our schools and workplaces-it can unlock new business opportunities and reinvent industries, spark creative insights at many levels, and provide a transformative new outlook on life. It is the ability to question-and to do so deeply, imaginatively, and “beautifully.” In this fascinating exploration of the surprising power of questioning, innovation expert Warren Berger reveals that powerhouse businesses like Google, Nike, and Netflix, as well as hot Silicon Valley startups like Pandora and Airbnb, are fueled by the ability to ask fundamental, game-changing questions. But Berger also shares human stories of people using questioning to solve everyday problems-from “How can I adapt my career in a time of constant change?” to “How can I step back from the daily rush and figure out what really makes me happy?” By showing how to approach questioning with an open, curious mind and a willingness to work through a series of “Why,” “What if,” and “How” queries, Berger offers an inspiring framework of how we can all arrive at better solutions, fresh possibilities, and greater success in business and life.
