Pages : 128
Book Description
At times in life, there are chance happenings that, when reflected upon, are revealed to be turning points - times when life changes and what we know, or what we think we know, is substantially altered. The words that follow are the simple expression of one of those times for me - a time that lasted for two years - a time of substantial spiritual growth. Message from the Mountain is inspired writing that seemingly came from nowhere and yet was the foundation for a profound Spiritual awakening - opening my eyes and others to our Life's Purpose. All is not as it seems! "Who are you?" The old woman from the mountain asked this simple question with a forceful kindness, as if summoning something that would come from deep within. Before I could answer audibly, I felt the answer that I did not wish to speak: "I do not know." I dare not say that, I thought as I tried to formulate my answer in my head. Surely I could define myself with... "That's correct. You do not know. Very good." "It's time to wake up from your mind sleep." As I heard the words ring clear from the old woman from the mountain, I felt refreshed as if I had been resting for hours. Yet, as I observed all that was around me, I came to understand that my time on the rock had been only minutes - perhaps thirty at most. The sun was moving west into mid-afternoon, and the breeze that had caressed my cheeks so gently just hours earlier began to increase in intensity as if to signal something new was blowing into my life. My 'mind sleep....' Her last words replayed again in my head. I wanted to shake my head, as her words seemed to create a sense of imbalance within me. Their meaning may not be as clear as I first hear them, I thought. "You are right," she uttered. "My words have a deeper meaning for you." Her voice came from nowhere. Not once had I spoken a word of my thoughts. "You will learn. Thoughts do not have to be spoken to have power. Your thoughts, whether spoken or not, have tremendous power. I will guide you based upon the truth of your thoughts." Message from the Mountain carries all who read on a journey of inner discovery into Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. Join me and let's take this magical journey together!

Going to the Mountain
Author: Ndaba Mandela
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316486582
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
The first-ever book to tell Nelson Mandela's life through the eyes of the grandson who was raised by him, chronicling Ndaba Mandela's life living with, and learning from, one of the greatest leaders and humanitarians the world has ever known. To the rest of the world, Nelson Mandela was a giant: an anti-apartheid revolutionary, a world-renowned humanitarian, and South Africa's first black president. To Ndaba Mandela, he was simply "Granddad." In Going to the Mountain, Ndaba tells how he came to live with Mandela shortly after he turned eleven--having met each other only once, years before, when Mandela was imprisoned at Victor Verster Prison -- and how the two of them slowly, cautiously built a relationship that would affect both their lives in extraordinary ways. It wasn't an easy transition. Mandela had high expectations for those around him, especially his family, and Ndaba chafed at the strict rules and exacting guidelines in his grandfather's home. But at the same time -- through overheard calls from foreign dignitaries as well as the Xhosa folk wisdom that his grandfather shared with him at every opportunity -- Ndaba was learning how to be a man. On a scale both personal and epic, Ndaba's extraordinary journey mirrors that of South Africa's coming of age -- from the segregated Soweto ghettos into which he was born to the privileged life in which he grew up and the turbulent yet exciting times in which he carries on his grandfather's legacy. Going to the Mountain is, in the end, a story about unlocking the power within each of us. It's a cautionary tale about how a child's life can go one way or the other, depending upon the intervention of a caring soul--and about the awesome power of love to serve as a catalyst for change.

Working on the Transcontinental Railroad promises a fortune—for those who survive. Growing up in 1860s China, Tam Ling Fan has lived a life of comfort. Her father is wealthy enough to provide for his family but unconventional enough to spare Ling Fan from the debilitating foot-binding required of most well-off girls. But Ling Fan’s life is upended when her brother dies of influenza and their father is imprisoned under false accusations. Hoping to earn the money that will secure her father’s release, Ling Fan disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s contract to work for the Central Pacific Railroad Company in America. Life on “the Gold Mountain” is grueling and dangerous. To build the railroad that will connect the west coast to the east, Ling Fan and other Chinese laborers lay track and blast tunnels through the treacherous peaks of the Sierra Nevada, facing cave-ins, avalanches, and blizzards—along with hostility from white Americans. When someone threatens to expose Ling Fan’s secret, she must take an even greater risk to save what’s left of her family . . . and to escape the Gold Mountain alive.
