Download or read book What Momma Knew and Daddy Grew written by Laura Taylor and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cookbook is a tribute to those people who nourished and supported me over my lifetime. It is a collection of recipes carefully assembled and chosen for taste and simplicity. Having moved around the country for work, or to experience new places and people, I have remained attentive to savory dishes and new ways to cook. There is considerable attention to the Southern fare I grew up with, but also new dishes to enjoy. Trying to revisit and recreate recipes from my early years forced me to reexamine how we eat now. The time and preparation necessary to have a decent meal, as the saying goes, has been replaced by a vast array of convenience foods, fast foods, home delivered raw ingredients with recipe cards, and special diets of every description, which restrict ingredients that were once basic to any recipe. After much consideration, I looked past all of that and included only recipes I tested and photographed and wanted to share because I liked eating them. Many are from my childhood where they originated with the Appalachian Mountain cooks who nourished me. Many are gone, but none are forgotten. Now these recipes live on for everyone to enjoy.

It’s the summer of 1988 and little is normal about Will and Sandra, except for the name of their town, Normal, Illinois. The two precocious eight-year-olds share overactive imaginations, a love of baseball and genuine affection for each other. But over the course of a single, fateful week at the beginning of their summer vacation the duo discovers budding superhero powers. Each day is a new adventure and an excuse for them to get on their bikes and enjoy being kids. Down the street from where they live is a spooky old house. An elderly woman and her older brother live there along with an overly protective dog that barks at the kids, frightening them as they pass by the house on their bikes. Children in the neighborhood believe the old lady is actually a witch and the old house is haunted. And there’s a rumor that she keeps kids locked in her basement. Sandra helps Will overcome his lack of confidence. Will convinces Sandra to stand up to her mother and become what she wants to be. Together, the kids use a map/maze that Sandra created to explore their imaginations, taking a detour through a fantastic world where they serve as fairy royalty. But when reality rudely intrudes on their idyllic world, Will and Sandra unlock their true potential as a crime fighting team when they are forced to save the day from two dangerous men.

Download or read book Growing Downward written by Nick Thompson and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Nick Thompson recognizes that pride is our worst enemy. If pride is our chief foe, then humility is our chief friend, even though its company may be painful. But spiritual growth is a descent—we must grow downward. Defining humility as “the downward disposition of a Godward self-perception,” Thompson walks us through the practical implications of this definition, leading us to embrace a God-centered perspective on the self. With winsome illustration and warm pastoral instruction, Growing Downward shows us that the path of humility, though difficult, is the way to true meaning and fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

He was twice wounded; by prayer and the grace of God, a miracle, he survived the battles. He was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. Though disabled, he was the strength of our family. I am very proud of him, and he will always be a part of me. Pro-life work and awareness is very important to me. I taught faith formation in my church for ten years.

Download or read book It s Fun to Be a Person I Don t Know written by Chachi D. Hauser and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance a reader might mistake It’s Fun to Be a Person I Don’t Know for a juicy Hollywood tell-all, given Chachi D. Hauser’s background as the great-granddaughter of Roy Disney, a cofounder with his brother Walt of the Walt Disney Company. And to her credit, Hauser doesn’t shy away from confronting painful family memories when considering how the stories, myths, and rumors surrounding this entertainment empire have influenced her own imagination. But family history is only one strand in this intricate and variegated weave that also interlaces the social and environmental history of Hauser’s adopted hometown of New Orleans, intimate reflections on love and navigating open relationships, and a searing self-examination that reveals a gender fluidity chafing against social barriers. Hauser’s innovative and multifaceted narrative navigates a variety of terrains, seeking truth as its final destination. While the family company excels in fantasy, Hauser’s story is that of a young documentary filmmaker determined to train a sharply focused lens on the reality of her lived experiences.

Book excerpt: She thought she knew the truth, because she was an eyewitness; but as Amy grows up, she finds out there is more to the truth than what she can see with her own eyes. Her childhood is full of violence, jealousy, and hatred. As she puts the pieces together, Amy learns that in the world of men and women, the truth is ever changing, but God's truth remains the same. She breaks the cycle of abuse when she meets the man God intended for her to marry. In Ever-Changing Truth, she takes us on a journey to understand how abuse begins and how it can end. She helps us to understand how being bullied and having a lack of self-confidence are some of the factors that can lead girls into unhealthy relationships. Amy's childhood is nothing short of a horror movie; but she finds peace, comfort, and truth in Jesus Christ at an early age. Her account is an inspiring story of faith, determination, and lessons learned from difficult times.
