Book Description
What is important is the circles of influence that have helped me to become who I am today. God has used each splash to divinely order every step to ripple through every part of my life, ministry, and story. I pray to continually make splashes with those impacts from here to the uttermost parts of the earth, by living out each lesson learned. Never forget that regardless of the size of the splash, each one of them continues to ripple across the ocean of life. - Crystal Reece, Author "Her story is our story. It's the life of contrasts the writer of Ecclesiastes told us about. Sadness and joy, tears and victory, grief and dancing, crawling and flying ... it's all there. But, unlike so many, the fragile segments of Crystal's life are held together by the God-thread of unwavering trust. It is this very thread that reaches out and weaves you into the amazing tale of a life of selfless devotion to the God of the universe. More than a memoir, this is a story that can become yours if you let it." - Melani Shock, Pentecostals of Alexandria, and author of Eat This Book "If you expect this book to be about a young woman's call to do missions work, it is. Do you perceive it to be about prayer? You are correct. Do you view this as a how-to book on finding God's will and experiencing His provision? Right again; it's all this and more! This book illustrates how God strategically places influencers in our lives to 'splash' us, as Crystal so ably states, causing ripple effects. As you read, may your heart be stirred, causing you to splash others with the all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ!" - David and Kathy Brott, missionary envoys; Global Missions UPCI

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
CLICK HERE to download the first chapter from A Long Treak Home * Compelling adventure with an environmental focus * An informative natural and cultural history of one of our last wild coastlines * Author is a pioneer in "packrafting," an emerging trend in backcountry travel In June 2007, Erin McKittrick and her husband, Hig, embarked on a 4,000-mile expedition from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, traveling solely by human power. This is the story of their unprecedented trek along the northwestern edge of the Pacific Ocean-a year-long journey through some of the most rugged terrain in the world- and their encounters with rain, wind, blizzards, bears, and their own emotional and spiritual demons. Erin and Hig set out from Seattle with a desire to raise awareness of natural resource and conservation issues along their route: clear-cut logging of rainforests; declining wild salmon populations; extraction of mineral resources; and effects of global climate change. By taking each mile step by step, they were able to intimately explore the coastal regions of Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska, see the wilderness in its larger context, and provide a unique on-the-ground perspective. An entertaining and, at times, thrilling adventure, theirs is a journey of discovery and of insights about the tiny communities that dot this wild coast, as well as the individuals there whom they meet and inspire.

Early U.S. Navy Carrier Raids, February-April 1942
Author: David Lee Russell
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476638616
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, America's fast carrier task forces, with their aircraft squadrons and powerful support warships, went on the offensive. Under orders from Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, the newly appointed Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, took the fight to the Japanese, using island raids to slow their advance in the Pacific. Beginning in February 1942, a series of task force raids led by the carriers USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, USS Lexington and USS Hornet were launched, beginning in the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands. An attempted raid on Rabaul was followed by successful attacks on Wake Island and Marcus Island. The Lae-Salamaua Raid countered Japanese invasions on New Guinea. The most dramatic was the unorthodox Tokyo (Doolittle) Raid, where 16 carrier-launched B-25 medium bombers demonstrated that the Japanese mainland was open to U.S. air attacks. The raids had a limited effect on halting the Japanese advance but kept the enemy away from Hawaii, the U.S. West coast and the Panama Canal, and kept open lines of communications to Australia.

Splash!
Author: Howard Means
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0306845644
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Choose a stroke and get paddling through the human history of swimming! From man's first recorded dip into what's now the driest spot on earth to the splashing, sparkling pool party in your backyard, humans have been getting wet for 10,000 years. And for most of modern history, swimming has caused a ripple that touches us all--the heroes and the ordinary folk; the real and the mythic. Splash! dives into Egypt, winds through ancient Greece and Rome, flows mostly underground through the Dark and Middle Ages (at least in Europe), and then reemerges in the wake of the Renaissance before taking its final lap at today's Olympic games. Along the way, it kicks away the idea that swimming is just about moving through water, about speed or great feats of aquatic endurance, and shows you how much more it can be. Its history offers a multi-tiered tour through religion, fashion, architecture, sanitation and public health, colonialism, segregation and integration, sexism, sexiness, guts, glory, and much, much more. Unique and compelling, Splash! sweeps across the whole of humankind's swimming history--and just like jumping into a pool on a hot summer's day, it has fun along the way.

Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific
Author: John H. Gamble
Publisher: Wheatmark, Inc.
ISBN: 1604945133
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Learn about little-known combat ventures aboard a U.S. Navy vessel during World War II from the eyewitness accounts of Navy veteran John Gamble. Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific describes life as a World War II sailor in the Pacific theater. Gamble throws us onboard his ship the same way he was thrown -- at breakneck speed. Leaving high school friends behind, Gamble joins the U.S. Navy and is trained as a radioman in the new technology of radar. He learns the basics of Navy life, forms friendships along the way, and helps to make his ship what the admirals need it to be -- a fighting machine to defeat the enemy and bring peace back to the Pacific.While Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific is not a complete summary of Gamble's wartime experiences, the stories give an astounding look at what it was like to be a sailor on a Navy ship during the battles of the Pacific. Glimpse the individual perspective of combat at sea and imagine one man's commitment to his country no matter the cost.John Gamble, Sr., was born and raised in the Atlantic coast region of what is now part of New York City. Many years after returning from naval combat in the Pacific, he was one of relatively few workers fortunate enough to have worked on the lunar landing module; this was destined to make the first moon landing. He could see the whole world opening up and felt caught in the upheaval as his generation came into being. He witnessed Einstein's theories become reality as the atom was split and the scientific wonder gave birth to a horrific nuclear arms race. He witnessed what were then the world's two tallest buildings being erected and witnessed their demise. Mindful of Nostradamus's papers, he grew fascinated as the changes in technology brought new dimensions to his thinking. According to Gamble, there are many bittersweet moments in life. We must choose to have hope and be among those who desire to see a hopeful future.
