Dare to Grow Up
Author: Paul Dunion

ISBN: 9780910155878
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
People often think it's something that you gain over the years, feeling that if you live long enough, you'll end up a mature person. But it's an achievement, one that not only takes time, of course, but effort and courage as well. Paul Dunion compares this process of growing up to the cultivation of crops: Some seed can simply be tossed about and regardless of light, water and nutrients, this seed will prevail and come of age, he says. The rest of us resemble the seed in need of stewardship, where attention needs to be paid to weeding, watering and enriching the ground that holds us. If, with much effort, and the help of others, we remain open to the mysteries of life, enriching ourselves with all living has to offer, then we may begin to learn who we were meant to become.

Wheel of Fate
Author: H. T. Martineau
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665560401
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Young Mara came to Ambergrove at age sixteen and soon began her Ranger trial. Given the order from the goddess Aeun to set the wheel turning to begin healing that broken world, she sailed to the forbidden lands. Little does she know, the ruler of chaos she was tasked with defeating—who turned out to be her grandmother Gaele—has taken her recent loss in stride. Unity does not come without a price, and Mara has lost her way. A battle rages between family and duty as Mara learns her sister Kara has come to that dark land and fallen in with the very evil Mara set out to defeat. To save her sister, defeat her grandmother, and to banish chaos from Ambergrove forever, Mara must summon strength she’s never dreamed of and fight an enemy beyond her skill. Evil rarely fights fair, and it will take all Mara’s courage to free Kara—and Ambergrove—from Gaele’s poisonous hold. Gaele won’t abandon her cause or release her granddaughters without a fight, but will fighting her grandmother allow chaos to finally seep into Mara, or will she find a new way to move forward? In this final installment of the Dragonwolf’s journey, Mara faces warriors of chaos, discovers magic thought to have been lost forever, learns once and for all what family means, and—for good or ill—the wheel of fate comes full circle.

Angela's Ashes
Author: Frank McCourt
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0684864835
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
A Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, Angela’s Ashes is Frank McCourt’s masterful memoir of his childhood in Ireland. “When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank’s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank’s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy—exasperating, irresponsible, and beguiling—does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father’s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank’s survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig’s head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the roadside to light a fire, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors—yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness. Angela’s Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt’s astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic.

Growing Yourself Up
Author: Jenny Brown
Publisher: Exisle Publishing
ISBN: 1775593592
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
To be human is to be in relationships. We can’t survive without them but it’s in relationships that we can so easily get unravelled. Some relationships just seem to do us in. Either we feel like we lose ourselves or feel burnt out from futile efforts to make things right for another. In our relationships we can experience the very best of ourselves and the very worst. The message of Growing Yourself Up is that you can’t separate understanding the individual from understanding relationships. All of life’s relationships are integral to increasing self-awareness and maturity. And it’s not necessarily the comfortable relationships that promote personal growth. In this 2nd edition of the bestselling book, Jenny examines how to help others without fostering dependency, and how to determine what kind of help you or others want from therapists. This is in response to the many lay and professional people who have found this book valuable personally and want to know how to help others grow. Drawing from Bowen family systems theory, the book takes you on a journey through each stage of life to see predictable patterns of relationships and to show how to use this knowledge to make purposeful adjustments in yourself; as well as lending a mature helping hand to others. The result is a sturdier self, sturdier relationships and a refreshing new way to view life’s challenges and opportunities.
