Download or read book No Choice written by Fadwa Kassis Naser and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No woman (or man) has a choice about when and where to be born. In early childhood, however, most American girls make many choices that help to shape their lives. American women (and men), therefore, may read with compassionate wonder about Fadwa Kassis Naser, who had 1) No choice concerning childhood responsibilities for a younger sister due to her mothers fragile health. 2) No choice regarding when (age 15) or whom (a man more than twice her age) she would marry. 3) No choice as to when to bear children. 4) No choice about living quarters for a growing family. 5) No choice regarding others with whom those quarters must be shared. 6) No choice in such mundane activities as shopping or such rarer events as vacations. 7) No choice regarding which church to attend. 8) No choice of obtaining parenting advice from her mother, whose illness required long separations and ended in a premature death. 9) No choice concerning entertaining guests nor packing for moves to new locations. 10) No choice over her sons rejection for an educational opportunity to which he was entitled. 11) No choice when dismissed from a job that she was handling well. 12) No choice to return from Kuwait to her Palestinian homeland due to political conflict. Intermingled with these situations, she had sole responsibility for choices about 1) Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior at age 10. 2) Relying upon her heavenly Father for strength and wisdom in almost every circumstance of life. 3) Guiding her childrens education, including getting them to and from school and financially covering their tuition costs in private schools. 4) Expanding her own formal schooling and practical nursing skills, surmount- ing financial and transportation difficulties. Although you may ache for Fadwa as you read this account of her life, you will also rejoice at examples of Gods showing Himself strong on the behalf of one whose heart is devoted to Him. She recognized His provision of empty boxes for a grape harvest when she was age 14, and His supplying funds for a sons education through the selfless sharing of a daughter, and His enabling Fadwa to visit relatives in Germany in spite of her having no visa, and . . ..
Download or read book The change written by Jerônimo Mendes and published by Literare Books. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William, son of Hector, a successful businessman in the food trade and distribution business. Pampered and accustomed to doing just what he wants, has lived abroad for a few years at the expense of his father, but needs to return to face the death of the patriarch and then that of his mother. Between one loss and another, the young man suffers an accident while surfing and significantly compromises his spine. All of this in less than three months. The boy, determined to be a winner on the waves, is faced with the reality he has always tried to escape from: managing his father's business. That's when the protagonist needs to be resilient. Because he was not interested in business, he had no preparation or education to take care of the family empire that was experiencing financial difficulties. Some questions begin to emerge throughout the narrative: How to give up your own dream and take care of business that you were never interested in? How can you forgive your father and yourself for the accusations that the two often exchanged? How to deal with employees and manage people? How to win the trust and respect of employees? From start to finish, the reader will be able to put himself in William's place and discover for himself the answer to some dilemmas common to all people. It is a fact of life: decisions must be made. Whether right or wrong, it is not possible to know at the beginning, only at the end when, in most cases, very little or almost nothing can be changed.
Download or read book Afropessimism written by Frank B. Wilderson III and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wilderson’s thinking teaches us to believe in the miraculous even as we decry the brutalities out of which miracles emerge”—Fred Moten Praised as “a trenchant, funny, and unsparing work of memoir and philosophy” (Aaron Robertson,?Literary Hub), Frank B. Wilderson’s Afropessimism arrived at a moment when protests against police brutality once again swept the nation. Presenting an argument we can no longer ignore, Wilderson insists that we must view Blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Radical in conception, remarkably poignant, and with soaring flights of memoir, Afropessimism reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world we inhabit.“Wilderson’s ambitious book offers its readers two great gifts. First, it strives mightily to make its pessimistic vision plausible. . . . Second, the book depicts a remarkable life, lived with daring and sincerity.”—Paul C. Taylor, Washington Post

Download or read book My Mother s Hip written by Luise Margolies and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 400,000 hip fractures occur every year, the vast majority among the elderly; all too often these fractures are associated with death or severe disability. After her mother's double hip fracture, Luisa Margolies immersed herself in identifying and coordinating the services and professionals needed to provide critical care for an elderly person. She soon realized that the American medical system is ill prepared to deal with the long-term care needs of our graying society. The heart of My Mother's Hip is taken up with the author's day-to-day observations as her mother's condition worsened, then improved only to worsen again, while her father became increasingly anxious and disoriented. As both a devoted daughter and a skilled anthropologist, Margolies vividly renders her interactions with physicians, nurses, hospital workers, nursing home administrators, the Medicare bureaucracy, home care providers, and her parents. In the Lessons chapter that follows each episode, she discusses in a broader context the weighty decisions that adult children must make on their parents' behalf and the emotional toll their responsibility takes. Here she addresses the complex practical issues that commonly arise in such situations: understanding the consequences of hip fracture and its treatment, preparing health care proxies and advanced directives, enabling elders to remain at home, and the heartbreaking dilemma of prolonging life. Like many adult children, Margolies learned her lessons about eldercare in the midst of crises. This book is intended to ease the information-gathering and decision-making processes for others involved in eldercare.

This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestselling title expands its focus to China, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions. Extensively updated, this edition features twelve new chapters, including a new introduction and conclusion. The book brings the story of economic hit men (EHMs) up-to-date and focuses on China's EHM strategy. EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and force them to serve US interests. Former economic hit man John Perkins gives an insider view into this system. With a truly global perspective, this book offers powerful revelations on extremely timely elements, including the third economic hit man wave that is sweeping the world and the way China optimizes US EHM models to make them a more dominating force. China's strategy is even more dangerous since it's successful at enticing lower income nations. Perkins also reveals how we can transform what he calls a failing Death Economy into a Life Economy. He encourages China's leaders to apply the Confucian ideal of serving the family to the global community to end the EHM strategy. The book ultimately provides a source of hope and inspires readers to participate in a new era of global cooperation.

Download or read book The Year of Living like Jesus written by Edward G. Dobson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It may appear from the cover that this is a nice book about growing a beard because Jesus did but be warned- you will quickly discover that Ed's adventure takes him, and us, deep into the heart of grace, mercy and the endless discovery of just what the way of Jesus looks like - which, of course, has very little to do with having a beard.”—Rob Bell, Jesus Wants To Save Christians “Inspiring, insightful, sometimes infuriating, often funny, a little weird (like its author) and a must read for anyone wanting to become a serious follower of Jesus Christ” —Cal Thomas “Highly, highly recommended” —Brian McLaren Evangelical pastor Ed Dobson had a radical idea… “Live one year as Jesus lived. Eat as Jesus ate. Pray as Jesus prayed. Observe the sabbath as Jesus observed. Attend the Jewish festivals as Jesus attended. Read the Gospels every week." Dobson’s transition from someone who follows Jesus to someone who lives like Jesus takes him into bars, inspires him to pick up hitchhikers, and deepens his understanding of suffering. Living like Jesus is quite different from what we imagine. “It may appear from the cover that this is a nice book about growing a beard because Jesus did but be warned- you will quickly discover that Ed's adventure takes him, and us, deep into the heart of grace, mercy and the endless discovery of just what the way of Jesus looks like - which, of course, has very little to do with having a beard.”—Rob Bell, Jesus Wants To Save Christians
