Download or read book My Journey to Heaven written by Marvin J. Besteman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 28, 2006, as he lay in his hospital bed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, visions of celestial beauty were the last thing on Marv Besteman's mind. He had just had surgery to remove a rare pancreatic tumor. It was after visiting hours and his family had left for the day. Alone and racked with pain, Marv tossed and turned, wanting more than anything else to simply sleep and escape the misery and discomfort for a while. The retired banker, father, and grandfather had no idea he was about to get a short reprieve in the form of an experience he never could have imagined. In My Journey to Heaven, Marv Bestman shares the story of his experience of heaven with astounding detail. Readers will hear of his encounters with angels who accompanied him to the gate, his conversation (argument, really) with St. Peter, and his recognition of friends and family members who touched his life. His story offers peace, comfort, and encouragement to those who have lost loved ones and gives security and solace to those who are grieving, dying, or wonder about the afterlife. Marv believed God sent him back to earth to fulfill this mission of comfort and reminds readers that God has work for each of us to do before he calls us to be with him in heaven. Secure in his belief that his book was the fulfillment of his own mission, Marv returned to heaven in January 2012.

Book excerpt: Spanning nearly 50 years of family history, the book chronicles the remarkable lives of two creative talents, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a story of father and son set against the backdrop of Hollywood; this narrative is organized around their physical and spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago, Spain, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage path which traverses Galicia. It is the area from which Sheen's father emigrated to the U.S. and to which Estevez's own son has returned. Along the Waywill focus not just on the lives these men have chosen as artists, but also (and most importantly) on the one they have lived together. It is a story of family bonds and artistic advances and setbacks; of good choices and hard choices; of opportunities lost and opportunities found. Sheen and Estevez will share what they have experienced and learned from each other in their forty eight years as father and son, as fathers of sons, as actors and director, as spiritual seekers, and as concerned citizens of the world. Readers will meet them as real people rather than icons, as two men who have accumulated decades of wisdom and insight they are now ready to share.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in a demilitarized zone during the Vietnam War to a Vietnamese mother and American soldier, Sau Le arrived in the United States as a young woman with only twenty dollars in her pocket. Though bullied and abused since childhood, she nevertheless came to her new homeland armed with a commitment to build a decent life for herself, her infant son, and her traumatized mother. This is the story of how she overcame every conceivable hurdle—including significant culture shock, a language barrier, serious illness, heartbreak, and betrayal—to become a landlord, successful business owner, joyous wife and mom and a woman blessed with generous, loyal friends. She describes an arduous journey, both literal and figurative, from a place of terror and utter despair to a life she created that’s overflowing with prosperity, patriotism, and love. And ultimately, it’s the story of hope, something Sau thought she’d lost long ago in the minefields of Vietnam. In telling her story, Sau Le aims to uplift those who worry that their dreams cannot be realized. Her goal is also to remind everyone born on American soil that this is the greatest country on earth, and that anything in this land is possible for those willing to put dedication, faith, and passion to work.

Download or read book My Prodigal Son written by Michael Cannell and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My Prodigal Son and Our Journey Together" is a book written by the father of his son, Michael, who earnestly tried but failed to beat alcohol and drug addiction. It is narrated by his father describing the difficult journey his son chose and one that he did not take alone. His family was right there with him supporting and loving him wherever he was on his journey, no matter how difficult it was. The best way to describe the spirit and purpose of this book is to hear from both the father and son below.From Dad"I experienced a loss that I still cannot come to terms with. My beautiful son, Michael, died three years ago. Prior to his tragic ending, he tried everything to break away from his addictions of alcohol and drugs, but nothing worked. He was loved by many and befriended others suffering from the same disease as he did. His message to them is the same one he is sending through this book. In his very own words he described his journey as follows..."From his Son Michael"Dad, I never knew my life would get to this point. I am slowly losing everything due to something I thought I could never become. My denial has led me to death's door on so many occasions it's just a matter of time.***This book is a gift from Michael's father to his son. As you will read, Michael has been urging his dad through dreams, songs, and other means to write this book-His book as a cautionary tale to those who are flirting with alcohol and drugs- so as to give them a wakeup call what will be in store from them if they foolishly take the same fatal journey he did. Michael had everything - looks, brains, athleticism, a great sense of humor, was a musician, had so many friends, and so much more. He had everything until he lost it all to something he thought he could beat. The book describes how his son struggled to get back what he lost, but it was too late when he realized he had been robbed of everything that mattered to him. He reached the "point of no return." No one should have to reach this point, and no parent or loved one should have to watch helplessly on the sidelines as they self-destruct.Michael and his father want to bring meaning and purpose to his life by saving others from the journey he so regrettably took. This book is his way to achieve that.The good news for you is you have a reliable source telling you why the lure of alcohol and addiction is deceitful, promising a fading high for everything that ever mattered to you.Make Michael's life count - Let him speak to you through this book from behind the veil. Let him help you, your child, and anyone wise enough to learn how to live their lives free from addictions. He is rooting for you from where he is. Like Dr. Spock, he wants you to "Live Long and Prosper."
