Download or read book Manny s Law written by Reynaldo Prieto and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine losing a child because of lack of health insurance. Imagine trying to do everything possible to try to get him the proper care that would save his life. What parent wouldn't give their life to save their child? Then imagine your child being ignored and left to die because his health-care providers thought money was more important than his life. This didn't happen in some third-world country. It happened right here in the USA. My son's death prompted New York State to pass a law in an effort to prevent this from happening. Did you know that New York State has millions of dollars to pay for patients who are poor or uninsured or unaware about help available? No? Well, neither did I. This book is the tragic story of Manuel Lanza, who fell victim to greedy doctors and a system that quite frankly is broken. I'm talking about our "for profit" health-care system. He was left to die because he didn't have health insurance. No one deserves the cruelty that we as a family, but more importantly Manny, went through. No parent should have to bury a child because of greed. No one should decide who lives and dies. No one gave him a chance at life, and in four short months, all his dreams were shattered and we lost our precious son. Then ten years later, my younger son got cancer. This book tells the story of our experiences with our health-care system. Be prepared to read about our emotional roller coaster and read the true details of what happened here in America. It is surely an eye-opener as well as a tearjerker.

Download or read book Manny and John written by Keith Ouzts and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-01-31 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manny and John is a fun-filled, insightful look into the boyhood of John the Baptist, and his younger cousin, Emmanuel, or Manny for short. Manny is better known by his adult title, Jesus Christ - the Messiah. Honing in on a short period in time after Mannys presentation at the temple, a well-known story found in the book of Luke, the author imagines what boys the age of 13 would do in Palestine. The most likely answer is, what boys have been doing for ages. They wrestled, climbed trees, threw rocks, dared each other to eat bugs, and generally had a grand old time while making a nuisance of themselves to adults and girls. The story begins as the boys are part of a caravan heading to Nazareth from Jerusalem. Boys will be boys, and the author (being one himself) is capable of providing what is probably a fairly accurate description of conversations they might have had. After arriving in Nazareth, they work with Joseph in his carpenters shop, play with other boys, and then have great adventures. The crux of the story is the discovery of a cave, subsequent capture by soldiers, dealings with zealots and the impact of all of these on the town of Nazareth. The author has woven events and people from the ministry of Jesus as an adult into the story, and has hoped to portray some of the thoughts the young savior might have had. It is an honest story in addition to adventures and a sense of fun, there is sorrow, regret and pain. The reader will find that the author has managed to truly transport one from the here and now. Any book that is capable of drawing the reader in, making the reader a part of the story is worth reading. This book does so on an emotional and spiritual level. One of the most difficult parts to tackle was based on the divinity of Jesus. As stated in the Bible, He was wholly human, and wholly divine. As an adult, His ministry was comprised of miracles, prophecy and wisdom unlike any other. Yet, how did this relate to His boyhood? As a boy, did He perform miracles? Did He heal members of His family or neighbors of their illnesses? Was He able to just be a good son to His earthly father? The author sought not to answer some of these types of questions, but to give an insight into how they might have been answered. One of the questions that arose was, how does an innocent mistake fit in? Is that a sin? Since Jesus was without sin as an adult, He must have been without sin as a boy. But boys are so full of energy, of living life to the fullest that all boys make mistakes from time to time. Could Jesus have, in His humanity, made a mistake that was tantamount to a sin, yet still remain sinless? Again, the author wrote honestly about boys, while at the same time maintaining the reverence he feels for his Savior. Hollywood has normally portrayed Jesus as a 6-foot, blue-eyed and with a British accent. It is easy to believe the divinity of Christ in that portrayal. The reality is that He was probably very middle-Eastern looking dark hair, eyes and skin. Again, seeking to be as realistic as possible in the portrayal of Jesus as a boy, the author researched the times and societies for authenticity of the story. The habits and mores of the citizens of Nazareth are documented with a true accuracy. As a historical novel, this book relates a first-class tale in a well-written and well-received fashion. The author conceived of the idea while deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in the spring of 2003. As a career Marine, his first focus was mission accomplishment for himself and his unit. But the impact of living in a middle-eastern desert, much the same way as Moses or David might have lived, lead to the first draft of this story. He was able to study and observe the culture of the nomadic desert people. Tents are still very much in use as homes; camels and horses are the means of transportatio

Download or read book Trading Manny written by Jim Gullo and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moving story of how a father and his young son recaptured their love of baseball—a winning testament to why the game matters and how it can still bring us together in spite of itself. In recent years something hasn't been quite right with baseball. Ask Jim Gullo: he'll tell you even a seven-year-old kid knows it. In December 2007, just as Jim's young son Joe was beginning to develop a true passion for the game, the bombshell news of players' steroid use made it clear that America's pastime wasn't what it claimed to be. Suddenly, Jim found himself struggling to answer questions from Joe that had nothing to do with batting averages or World Series champions: What are steroids? Who was using them? Wasn't it cheating? Why weren't the players who got caught suspended or punished by baseball?br Rather than wait for an official explanation and apology from Major League Baseball that would never materialize, Jim and Joe set out to find their own answers. They traveled the country from coast to coast, from Spring Training contests to major and minor league games—speaking with players, prospects, and managers while tracking down the legends and ghosts of baseball's golden age. And one day they discovered an aging but dedicated prospect who would become not only a true role model for Joe, but also the unlikely inspiration to lure both father and son back to the game they loved. By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and inspiring, Trading Manny tells the story of their journey back to baseball -- how along the way Joe traded his idol Manny for a more worthy hero, and Jim discovered something invaluable about being a father.

That's what the manny tells Keats Dalinger the first time he packs Keats's school lunch, but for Keats that's not always the easiest thing to do. Even though he's the only boy at home, it always feels like no one ever remembers him. His sisters are everywhere! Lulu is the smart one, India is the creative one, and Belly...well, Belly is the naked one. And the baby. School isn't much better. There, he's the shortest kid in the entire class. But now the manny is the Dalinger's new babysitter, and things are starting to look up. It seems as though the manny always knows the right thing to do. Not everyone likes the manny as much as Keats does, however. Lulu finds the manny embarrassing, and she's started to make a list of all the crazy things that he does, such as serenading the kids with "La Cucaracha" from the front yard or wearing underwear on his head or meeting the school bus with Belly, dressed as limo drivers. Keats is worried. What if Lulu's "Manny Files" makes his parents fire the manny? Who will teach him how to be interesting then?

Download or read book My Friend Manny written by Big Adam and published by PageFree Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Author ?Big Adam? was born and raised in Cherokee, North Carolina, and attends Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama. He plans to graduate in May 2003 with a degree in Journalism. He loves to write, go bowling, take long walks alone late at night, read, go to church, cats, driving alone late at night, and is a huge fan of Godzilla, Garfield, and race car driver Jeff Gordon. He also serves as editor of the university newspaper. He started to write at the young age of four when he discovered the wonder of pens and pencils. His first stories were written and illustrated on plain white paper and stapled together. By age nine, he had written a story about a young boy who was the victim of sexual harassment from a babysitter. It was a concept way ahead of his own time and knowledge. His writings soon became more vivid and more chillingly realistic, possibly due to years of child abuse and being harassed at school by both teachers and peers. After one of his stories was discovered in his bedroom, its realism content sent his folks into a fury. They threatened him if he ever wrote something like that ever again, which was nothing more than the truth of what he was going through at the time. After that, he had to write and express himself in secret, when he was certain nobody would know that he was still cultivating his talent as a writer. He was finally removed from this abusive environment when he was 12. A trip to the beach in 1993 sparked his imagination like nothing else. The idea for one of his first novels was born, and it would take him another seven years to finish. That novel, The Writer, appeared in Spring 2001. He has also started several other novels and he vows tofinish all of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manny Schwimmer talks to God. He talks to Him about installing an air-conditioning system in Hell, about Civil War heroes and black major-league baseball players, about using mathematics to identify the longest river in North America, about the importance of counting grains of sand. He also talks to Him about his personal accomplishments and misfortunes. Sometimes Manny doesn't know if he's dreaming, or if God is really there. Was it a dream when he found himself in Court with men from his old infantry company, men dead these last 50 years? Did he really argue with God about whether or not he had killed someone, while God frantically checked His computer database for confirmation? In the bizarre arena of a hospital ICU, Manny meets a woman out to avenge her mother's death, a soon-to-be murdered prostitute, a friend intent on executing Manny's last Will, an ex-wife who denies their son exists. At the same time, he fights issues of amputation, pneumonia, accessory to murder, unanswered wartime questions, self-denial, death.

Download or read book The Legacy of Manny Pacquiao written by J.D. Rockefeller and published by J.D. Rockefeller. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is specifically written for both Pacman fans, boxing enthusiasts and random individuals who wish to take a closer look at the life of the “Peoples Champion”. A sporting icon, Filipino’s pride and a man with countless abilities - that’s how Manny Pacquiao is often described. In the realm of boxing he is known as “Pacman”, but in the real world he is recognized as an idol of the mass - a man who had been a figure of hope, determination and success. His story is simply one of a kind. Born from a middle-class family and struggled with poverty, had dreamed, faced countless obstacles (in ring and in real life), but surpassed each one with utmost courage, and eventually achieved success. He is the exact person to show the journey of a man from ‘rugs to riches’. Manny Pacquiao undoubtedly deserves the recognition as world’s best fighter and pound-for-pound king. Everyone is perhaps fully aware how he beat the boxing champion in several fights. A true champion, isn’t he? But that’s not where his virtuosity ends. Manny Pacquiao has been vigorously pursuing his attention and interest in diverse fields such as entertainment (acting and singing), politics and other kind of sports. All of his achievements speak for his tremendous success. However, what really caught the heart and interest of the crowd is the fact that he had been once a simple boy living a simple life but with great determination and hard work, and ready to actualize his dreams. “Pacman” has already reached the peak of success and currently serving his nation. But success is never without difficulties.
