Book excerpt: Two phone calls minutes apart; two people he knows with incredible life-changing experiences. Are they miracles? Regardless, the calls make Robert Wexford reconsider a letter he initially discarded from his hometown parochial high school in Westport, New York asking for a donation to a fund drive. That decision sets in motion a chain of events that will have life-changing consequences for him and others. Robert retrieves the letter from his former school, which warns it will have to close unless four hundred thousand dollars can be raised in the next two months. Inspired by the good news he’s received, he decides to return to his hometown to enlist in the fundraising effort. His wife, Ellen, questions his motives, asking if he’s doing it for pride, but he downplays her concerns. He reconnects with old friends and together they devise a plan that eventually takes Robert to the South and Midwest in search of donations. But not everyone in Westport is initially on board with the project, and one person hatches a scheme that could put everything in jeopardy. Holy Angels illustrates what can happen when a community bands together with a common purpose. Many readers, especially those from small towns and cities, will be reminded of someone they once knew or an experience they had, in this engaging story about a small city’s struggle to keep one of its bedrock institutions alive.
Download or read book Tucker s Angels written by Jim Reedy and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The college experience can challenge the mind, prepare one for a career and/or, since away from parental supervision, provide an open invitation to frivolity, partying and ribald behavior. That may include the dream or, in most cases, the delusion of finding the love of one's life. Tucker's Angels provides an intimate look into the mindset of one such student, who is quickly seduced by the campus lifestyle. He soon believes he has landed in heaven on Earth: dorm mates with whom to fraternize, coeds just across the quad, three squares a day in the dining hall and a new gymnasium open into the night. Yet Tucker McKay's story is also one of discovery and transformation, until playing basketball may not be the most important thing to be experienced in the Halls of Ivy. His journey is also about the many (earthly) angels in disguise who help lead him toward enlightenment, including an equally competitive coed who ties him in such emotional knots that he once again must rethink his priorities. She turns Tuck's academic awakening into an adventure, flavored with the mysteries of romance, the excitement of first love and the thrill of passion. Whether you wish to learn more about campus life or just to relive the college experience, Tucker's Angels welcomes you along for the ride, through the fun, the challenges, the lessons learned and the formation of lifelong friendships in this rite of passage from naivete into adulthood.

Download or read book The First Peace My Search For The Better Angels written by Charles Wilson Hatfield and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The First Peace; My Search for the Better Angels" is a spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and perhaps educational memoir that spans fifty-plus years, eleven states, three countries, military and seminary, birth and death, marriage and divorce, three Christian denominations, and a monastery. This memoir is a journey through faith and knowledge, hope and reality, love and experience. The author attempts to reconcile what he has been taught, what he believes, what he experiences, what he knows, what he wants, and what he perceives. His unacknowledged question: What do we do when we evolve beyond the "faith of our fathers" (and/or mothers)? After a life of seeking to understand through the lens of Christianity (and other religions), the author comes to understand that religious beliefs and dogma may become a barrier to faith and understanding. The author learns that liberty entails responsibility, faith requires self-reliance, and enlightenment is found within. Liberty and freedom entail responsibility, responsibly that no other person or institution can assume for use. We remain responsible for our actions and inactions. No person, government, or religious institution can assume or remove our responsibility for our actions, for our lives. "The First Peace; My Search for the Better Angels" is an attempt to weave a tapestry of stories, ideas and ideals, ethics, experiences, and expressions - with the goal (and hope) to entertain, inform, educate, persuade, stimulate, and even challenge. Perhaps "The First Peace; My Search for the Better Angels" will remind you of your own experiences, thoughts, and feelings that provide some measure of contentment, but also some measure of challenge, even conflict. The silence beyond those reminders is where we find "the first peace" and where we are "at liberty to be real" and where "the better angels of our nature" touch us.
Download or read book The Rest of the Greatest Story written by Mark Scott and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT IS BEFORE THE MANKIND, in the eons past. Lucifer and his 1st lieutenant Gamel are sitting in Lucifer's mansion on the Earth discussing the power of Darkness and rebellion against The Most High. Lucifer is Governor over the talking prehistoric animals known as 'the Earth-dwellers'. These creatures made up Earth's first society and some also held leadership positions, such as King Repinal the serpent that had arms and legs and also resided over the World Senate. This story is the culmination of over 30 years of in depth biblical studies to seek out the "pre-mankind story". Along with what I believe was lots of Divine inspiration to ascertain that story, my findings unfold in the form of a drama. Biblical references are scattered throughout the book to support its story line. This drama addresses intriguing questions such as: - What was God doing before creation? - Why was Lucifer the first to be put in charge of the Earth? - Jesus in Hell after the cross for three days, and what happened there? Mark Scott holds a 2007 Bachelors Degree from Radford University and has been a practicing Biblical Archaeologist since 1978. He has 3 lovely daughters and he resides in Roanoke VA.

Download or read book Television Series of the 1950s written by Vincent Terrace and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often regarded as the first golden era of television, the 1950s was a decade when many classic programs—from I Love Lucy and Gunsmoke to The Honeymooners and Perry Mason, among others—made their debuts. Even after these shows departed the airwaves, they lived on in syndication, entertaining several generations of viewers. Devoted and casual fans alike can probably remember basic facts about these shows—like the names of Lucy and Ricky’s neighbors or the town where Marshall Matt Dillon kept the law. But more elusive facts, like the location of the most successful defense attorney in Los Angeles (Suite 904 of the Brent Building), might be harder to recall. In Television Series of the 1950s: Essential Facts and Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents readers with a cornucopia of information about 100 programs from the decade. Did you know, for example, that the middle initial of Dobie Gillis’ friend Maynard G. Krebs, stood for Walter? Or that Ralph Kramden’s electric bill came to only 39 cents a month? Or that on I Love Lucy, Ricky originally performed at Manhattan’s Tropicana Club? These are but a few of the hundreds of fun and intriguing trivia facts contained within this volume. Shows from all four networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and DuMont)—as well as select syndicated programs—are represented here. This is not a book of opinions or essays about specific television programs, but a treasure trove of the facts associated with each of these programs. Readers will discover a wealth of fascinating information that, for the most part, cannot be found anywhere else. In some cases, the factual data detailed herein is the only such documentation that exists currently on bygone shows of the era. Television Series of the 1950s is the ideal reference for fans of this decade and anyone looking to stump even the most knowledgeable trivia expert.

Book excerpt: Is it bedtime for America's pastime? In recent years, action on and off the diamond has left some fans predicting baseball's imminent death--or claiming to have already attended the funeral. This book refutes those claims with an in-depth look at baseball then and now. Comparing the baseball of the 1950s to the game of today, this author examines the widespread dissatisfaction with major league baseball, considers how modern teams differ from those of the past, and reflects on whether professional baseball remains a truly competitive sport. Excessive salaries, player movement and the evolution of the draft are all up for discussion, as is the Wild Card playoff format and how it has affected the overall competition. Tables show statistics on salaries, league attendance and the correlation between winning percentages and payroll. Appendices offer details on market size and attendance regressions. The facts and figures add up to a win for the long-lasting appeal of baseball.
