Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you raise Christian kids who have dreams that seem beyond their reach? Parenting is an important task, but the pressure doesn't need to be on us. As parents, we simply need to follow the leading of the Lord with the understanding that our children's natural abilities are actually the Lord working out their destiny. When we give Christ unlimited control of our parenting, we learn that Jesus is a better parent to our children than we can ever hope to be. As Sheila Erwin shares personal stories of raising two successful filmmakers and delves into biblical principles, you will be encouraged to cultivate your children’s gifts and help them reach their dreams—no matter how impossible they seem. By parenting from a position of trust and rest in God, you can guide your children to chase their God-given dreams and channel their talents to glorify God instead of being gripped by the world.

Download or read book The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese written by Daleen Berry and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Journalist Daleen Berry and investigator Geoffrey Fuller give you the little-known details behind one of the most horrific and shocking murders of our time. One hot July night, three popular, pretty girls snuck out for a midnight joyride. Only two came back. Stabbed so savagely she was almost decapitated, Skylar Neese was left bloody on the side of the road, buried beneath rocks and branches. For six months, people wondered and waited, hoping Skylar would return. Instead, the community was stunned when Rachel Shoaf confessed to Skylar's murder. The budding actress and singer accused the third member of the inseparable trio, Shelia Eddy, of being the ringleader. People were even more shocked to learn the murder was not a crime of sudden rage—but premeditated. Now, friends, family, and the public are left with so many unanswered questions: Why did investigators believe her murder was connected to a rash of bank robberies and an interstate heroin ring? What part did drugs and social media play in Skylar's killing and its aftermath? How did other high school students and even her own mother help discover who killed Skylar? And, if Rachel's confession is true, what would lead two teenage girls to kill their best friend in one of the most horrific crimes in recent years? With firsthand interviews with those close to the case and written in cooperation with the victim's parents, Dave and Mary Neese, The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese is the most comprehensive, detailed and in-depth source on the Skylar Neese murder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS is real and life changing. We have all had moments in our lives where situations or circumstance has caused us to think, how will I ever get over this? Remember as a child when your best friend didnt want to be your friend any more, when you broke up with your first love, you didnt get the grade you expected, or you got fired from your job. You probably felt as if the ground had moved from under your feet and the earth had just gobbled you up. But look at us know, we bounced back and now these are things we laugh about with friends and family. That is not the stories told by individuals in this book; the bounce back was not so easy and laughter with family and friends is not the least bit funny. Lives and families were altered in some cases beyond repair but each person found the will and spirit to live beyond their wildest imagination. The lost of ground in their lives was replaced by a trampoline and they bounced back. They began to live again. As you read their stories try to remember that they are mothers, sisters, aunts, brother, uncle, children, friends and families of someone who care and cherish their simple but unique existence. I want you to think of your life and remember it is no longer business as usual: Its Personal.

Download or read book Andean Archaeology I written by William H. Isbell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of the origin and development of civilization is of unequaled importance for understanding the cultural processes that create human societies. Is cultural evolution directional and regular across human societies and history, or is it opportunistic and capricious? Do apparent regularities come from the way inves tigators construct and manage knowledge, or are they the result of real constraints on and variations in the actual processes? Can such questions even be answered? We believe so, but not easily. By comparing evolutionary sequences from different world civilizations scholars can judge degrees of similarity and difference and then attempt explanation. Of course, we must be careful to assess the influence that societies of the ancient world had on one another (the issue of pristine versus non-pristine cultural devel opment: see discussion in Fried 1967; Price 1978). The Central Andes were the locus of the only societies to achieve pristine civilization in the southern hemi sphere and only in the Central Andes did non-literate (non-written language) civ ilization develop. It seems clear that Central Andean civilization was independent on any graph of archaic culture change. Scholars have often expressed appreciation of the research opportunities offered by the Central Andes as a testing ground for the study of cultural evolu tion (see, e. g. , Carneiro 1970; Ford and Willey 1949: 5; Kosok 1965: 1-14; Lanning 1967: 2-5).

Settling in to a life that was mundane was all she wanted for now but events would soon overtake her and her roommate Julie. When an opportunity to help renovate a ski resort comes up, Bethany and Julie jump at the chance to get to an even more remote spot, reachable only by snowmobile. Traveling with an irritable and cranky old man and his wife, the two friends arrive at the secluded spot to discover that it is far from what they had hoped for. Cold and dark, and perched on a lonely mountaintop, there’s not another living soul for miles around. Or is there?

But when a dead body literally falls out of the walk-in freezer it becomes apparent that something is terribly wrong. With a killer on the loose, no way of summoning help from the outside world and a storm rolling in, Bethany and her friends are about to find out that the wilds of Alaska aren’t the only dangers they face.
