Download or read book It All Starts with Your Dream written by Frederic Byda and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had the idea of writing this book in 2010. I was training for my first long-distance run, which was the Disney World Half Marathon. The race was in January 2011, and on one of my training runs in December of 2010, I was praying, and God spoke to me about writing a book. My first reaction was who would want to read something that I wrote and what would I write about? Eventually I left that thought far in the distance and continued with my life. Six years later, I picked that thought up again and began to write about my life experiences. I had met numerous people who were just existing and were not truly living because they were working at a job that wasn't fulfilling their God-given desires. Everyone has a purpose, and everyone's life has a purpose. We just need to find out what that purpose is and then pursue it with everything we have. Part of what I discovered along the way was many of these people had a desire burning inside of them when they were little children. There was something that they enjoyed doing and could do better than anyone else. It may have been painting or writing poetry or some other skillset that God had gifted to them. Along the journey of their own life, someone discouraged them and told them that what they were pursuing was a waste of time and they wouldn't amount to anything if they went that direction. Others were steered off their course by life circumstances. They may have found a job where they found worldly success and brought them all the trappings, such as the nice house, car, vacations, etc., but they hated the thought of going to work because the work itself didn't bring them joy. This book was borne out of those stories and others that will hopefully serve as encouragement to those who find themselves in that spot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impressive . . . [Cristina García’s] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution. Her special feat is to tell it in a style as warm and gentle as the ‘sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,’ as rhythmic as the music of Beny Moré.”—Time Cristina García’s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country’s revolution and the revelations that follow. The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. Dreaming in Cuban is “a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez” (The New York Times). In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel’s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author. Praise for Dreaming in Cuban “Remarkable . . . an intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic . . . evocative and lush.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Captures the pain, the distance, the frustrations and the dreams of these family dramas with a vivid, poetic prose.”—The Washington Post “Brilliant . . . With tremendous skill, passion and humor, García just may have written the definitive story of Cuban exiles and some of those they left behind.”—The Denver Post

Download or read book In the Dream House written by Carmen Maria Machado and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary memoir about domestic abuse by the award-winning author of Her Body and Other Parties In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado’s engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming. And it’s that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope—the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman—through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships. Machado’s dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

Download or read book It All Starts with You written by Trent Shelton and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It All Starts with You" by Trent Shelton is a one-of-a-kind 300+ page journal filled with some of Trent's most popular quotes, along with thought provoking questions and action items to help lead people to change. About the Author: To some, he's a motivational speaker. To others, he's a previous NFL football player, but to Trent Shelton, he is just a man who wants to help lives. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, raised in Fort Worth, Texas, as a child, all Trent wanted to be when he grew up was a professional football player. While he achieved his childhood dream, the former NFL player's career was a shaky one where he felt incomplete while constantly chasing after worldly things to temporarily fulfill the voids in his life. It wasn't until Trent hit his lowest point, after being released from multiple NFL teams along with the birth of his son, that he decided to work on becoming the best person he could be. In March of 2009, Trent picked up his iPhone and started sharing two-minute videos of his progress as a means of helping him stay accountable while bettering his life. He ended each of his videos with "It's RehabTime." A couple years later, those two-minute videos evolved into RehabTime Organization, a 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to lead people to change through hope and faith. Today, on average, Trent reaches over 35 million people a week through his daily messages and videos. The motivational speaker has over 4 million Facebook fans, Instagram followers, and Twitter followers, all of which he refers to as his community of "Rehabbers." Trent is the best-selling author of three life-application books and a life-application journal, It All Starts with You. By following his calling, Trent has been able to travel all over the world to share his testimony and offer people messages of change and hope. Although Trent was motivated to become a better man by the birth of his son and through many of life's adversities he faced, he calls his greatest accomplishment helping people strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ through RehabTime. While the former professional athlete once dreamed about a lasting career in the league, he now knows that God's vision for his life is better than he could have ever imagined.

Download or read book Start with Why written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
