Book Description
When a song connects with us on an almost molecular level, and we'd swear that whoever wrote that song either lived our life or read passages from our most personal journal entries, we discover that we're not as alone as we might have thought we were. Somebody else knows, or they couldn't have written that song in that particular way. Those songs tell us that we have something in common with their writers, but often it seems that the songwriters know more about us than we know about them. In Hold On, the Light Will Come: And Other Lessons My Songs Have Taught Me, Michael McLean lets us read the songwriter's most personal journal entries. We are invited behind the scenes to experience the parts of his life that led to more than twenty albums of songs about hope and healing and holding on. Candid, insightful, hopeful, funny, and honest, this book gives an account of the lessons Michael's songs have taught him -- or rather, how writing his songs has helped him to process the lessons that life sooner or later tries to teach us all. Included is a CD with the songs he writes about so personally in this memoir. "By writing this book," says Michael, "I hope that people who've heard some of my songs before will hear them differently. And maybe those who are hearing them for the first time will understand my belief that songwriters know that they don't really own the songs they've written ... they just heard them first."

With My Face to the Wind
Author: Linda Anne King
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462068758
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Like cancer untreated, PTSD can kill--if not the body-- the mind and soul. Linda King has portrayed, in real-time, what it is like to live with full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder. With My Face to the Wind is not only for those who have PTSD, or those who support friends and family with PTSD, but it is also for professionals who want a window into the mind and heart of someone struggling to overcome PTSD. With this 2021 revision, Linda hopes that readers who have lived with the symptoms of this disorder (which often goes undiagnosed) will learn coping skills, along with hope and faith to continue on their journey. Linda King's "With My Face to the Wind" is an inspiring read like no other. Her story is one of the tragedies and triumphs, with tears and laughter guiding the way. Mrs. King knows how to tell her tales and pushes her readers to better themselves--by accepting themselves. I suggest this book to anyone--PTSD suffers, mis-understood teenagers, and those who are perfectly fine. This book will lead you to your best self. -Anna Katherine Beerman While sharing some of her personal tragedies, Linda King weaves just enough verifiable psychological content (without causing brain freeze) to know that she's done her homework. Her wit and humor shine through just in the nick of time. . . -Rhonda B. Holmes, Author, The WORD Diet What you have written is too powerful to be read in one or two settings. As a registered nurse I've been accustomed to reading professional abstracts and journals quickly and incorporating new learning into my nursing practice. It was the unanticipated emotional impact that caused me to read it in small "doses" spread over a couple of months. . . . and your format of introducing that information throughout the book as it coincided with stages in your own emotional journey, will make it much easier for individuals affected by PTSD to understand and apply it to their own circumstances. -Elen Wright, R.N

Book Description
In good times and bad, in times of economic downturn and times of wartime peril, we as Americans have shown our mettle. There is something in the historical DNA of this people - a resilience, a power, a talent for innovation, a unique and empowering bravery - that has carried us forward as a nation and a people for nearly 250 years. This book is about this history, this inheritance, this people. These characteristics apply not just to the people of the United States as a whole, but to each of us as individuals. Whether we are leaders, followers, friends, co-workers, parents, spouses, partners or simply sojourners in this thing we call life - it is rare for us to see those we care about suffer and not want to change their circumstances or alleviate their suffering. It is an almost in-born trait that we as individuals and as a nation tend to seek ways to overcome the challenges we periodically face. Home of the Brave is about meeting our individual challenges and the challenges of those we care about and care for. It is about finding the time-proven principles in the historical DNA of great Americans that we can draw on - not only for strength but for practical insight and action that can make even the most challenging times more manageable, even conquerable.
