Book Description
Author and humorist Preston Lawhorne was born and raised in the South. His childhood is just one piece of a larger puzzle that spans the years of his life. In this new collection of short stories and recollections, Lawhorne pays homage to many of the pieces that make up his "puzzle." Some of these pieces are people who guided him throughout his life. Others are events that changed it completely. As he examines each piece, Lawhorne's unique southern humor and gentle insights will put a smile on your face. Along the way, Lawhorne discusses the naming traditions of the South, the special time he got to spend with his father, a formative moment at Stump's general store, his mother's "One for All" approach to child raising, the origins behind his aversion to sushi, the world's strangest eating contest, the last stagecoach robbery in American history, and more hilarious adventures. While Lawhorne's tales sometimes include rivalries and conflicts with his brothers, his love for his family shines through in every story. He makes it clear that these were the pieces that mattered the most, and the lessons they taught him have followed him ever since.

Pages : 133
Book Description
You have a choice to rewrite your story of destruction as a story of redemption. In 2013, after a prolonged struggle with shame, public humiliation and vocational crisis, Father Ramadhani was sent for a residential treatment. Working on jigsaw puzzles with fellow residents soon became his new hobby. Little did he know that this would lead him to soul-searching conversations with the images on those puzzles—Golden Gate Bridge, Dubrovnik, Riomaggiore, Sydney Opera House, Big Ben Clock Tower, Castle of Chambord, Mount Rushmore, Portland Head Lighthouse. The result is this smooth blend of Ignatian contemplation and mythic imagination. Tapping on the strength of vulnerability, this book encourages anyone dealing with inner unresolved issues, to pull away, listen, look honestly inside the soul with the eyes of an outsider, and if possible, humbly seek professional help.

The Last Safe Investment
Author: Bryan Franklin
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101612819
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Myth: If you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily, allowing twenty to thirty years of secure, peaceful retirement. Reality: Though this might have been true at some point in the last century, it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, you must invest in the last safe investment: yourself, and your own skills, value to others, relationships, and overall happiness. Business strategist Bryan Franklin and author Michael Ellsberg (The Education of Millionaires) team up here to present a blueprint for building “True Wealth”: the ability to generate not just financial value but also the experiences you cherish most—security, freedom, creative expression, and love. Discarding traditional advice, Franklin and Ellsberg propose the Self-Amplifying Financial Ecosystem (SAFE) plan. This plan teaches you: ·Small investments you can make for a big impact on your value to other people, multiplying your earning potential ·The secret to accumulating savings without willpower or deprivation ·How to invest in life’s richest experiences (which money can’t buy) ·The “Super Skills”—the most valuable, sought-after, rewarded, and universally beneficial human skills ·Why most people are throwing away huge sums of money in the quest for happiness, and how to spend that money more effectively This bold manifesto will change the way you think about money, wealth, investment, and spending forever.

Pages : 282
Book Description
Anne sat on the side of the bed where her suicidal stepson lay. He had traveled to their new home perched high on a palisade overlooking the Pacific. All too familiar with mental illness, she offered him hope as she described her life, a life of abuse and addictions. Her words, descriptions of a life where she and her siblings were placed in an orphanage for eight months where abuse continued. Her words to her stepson were powerful; as she stated, living in survival mode was not how God wanted us to live. A month later, he hung himself. One more suicide to add to the others. All the Missing Pieces is the exploration of a journey of unspeakable events where a strong, happy, talented woman grew. A woman who abhors abuse, who speaks up against inhumane treatment. She provides the reader with actions that allowed her to survive, eventually abandon survival mode for real joy. She learned that even though her relationship with God was absent, she realized that he was always with her and her siblings.
