Book Description
This is a book not for the conventional reader. It is a book that will challenge your knowledge and beliefs about society today, society past, and the possibilities for the future. It is a personal observation of a man who has lived through and seen much-of society, love, hurt, religions, and wars. It is a book that will hopefully make you think.

Book Description
"You'll understand when you grow up." "Just wait until you have kids." "Well, when I was a kid..." "Just do as I say." "You're going to thank me for this someday." Gap: a space between two people or things; a hole or space where something is missing. (Merriam-Webster) Generation Gap: the difference in opinions, values, etc. between young and older people. (Merriam-Webster) Generation gaps are timeless. The first one was probably between Adam and Eve and their sons Cain and Abel. Occasionally, this gap is used to transmit wisdom from one generation to the next as it was intended. Solomon, possibly the wisest man who ever lived, gave us a whole book of the Bible called Proverbs for the purpose of bridging the wisdom gap between his generation and the next. But even after writing 9,921 profound words, the next generation ended up a divided nation and eventually were conquered. So apparently, a lot of wise words from a really smart guy is no guarantee that one generation will listen and learn from their predecessors. But that didn't stop this author from trying. Instead of just shaking his head and saying, "Kids today!" Larry has consolidated his thoughts and observations of life into a set of "ramblings," sometimes "tongue in cheek," often humorously, but always with the intent to "pass on" practical insights and attitudes to his offspring. Larry admits his error in realizing his duty to "pass on" vital life or death truths came late in his life, but better late than never. This plain, ordinary old dad extols readers to learn from him and to determine to begin their own set of "ramblings." Our original Father even commands us to "pass it on" in Deuteronomy 6:6. Who knows, there may be some people still willing to listen to "an old codger."

Book Description
This book is a quick summary of a familyaEUR(tm)s survival of the trials and hardships of the Great Depression. It is a look at one boyaEUR(tm)s unique World War II experience, his Korean and Vietnam military background. In 1951, he had a loss of faith, which did not return until 1988 when he received what can only be called biblical revelation that he could never have imagined or anticipated. His renewed faith created Random Thoughts of an Old Man in a Rocking Chair that became a collection of the successes, failures, observations, and homespun philosophy that gave meaning to both his successes and failures from a religious perspective, a perspective that made his life the marvelous adventure it has been. He is truly an individual who can say, aEURoeI have been there and done that.aEUR

Book Description
If you want to know what the Queen does at Christmas, why John Constable's most famous painting was initially rejected or why animals don't speak, this anthology provides the answers. Thirty-nine comic poems cover a variety of subjects, from cockle picking to men in wigs and dogs in Dalmatia. Each poem is brilliantly illustrated with the author's unique cartoons and they range from the lightly amusing to the downright rude and insulting. The overall influences are are based on the author's evolution into a grumpy and cantankerous old man yet, amongst the irreverence and intolerance, there are touching verses about life and death with respectful memories of lost friends and family. But it's mainly, discourteous, disrespectful...and very funny.

Book Description
I grew up in Vancouver where I’ve run the gamut of alcoholism, addiction, dysfunction, and every other intergenerational effect around. I am a Heiltsuk, born in Bella Bella, BC. My name is Billie, and I am known on a popular social media site and from my childhood as Billie G. I am the sixth daughter of a handsome carver/fisherman and a beautiful mom who worked in the cannery in Namu, BC. I am a proud mom of four beautiful sons, Martin, Gregory, Miguel and Jamie. I am a grandmother, an aunt, a daughter and a niece, sister, cousin and friend. I had absolutely no idea why my people and I are so broken. I had no idea what intergenerational effects were until I went to college and then university. Before I had the privilege of earning an education, I had no idea why I’d led a life stagnant and laden with dysfunction or why I could not just ‘be healthy.’ I did not understand why I had to take the long rough and tough way around towards healing. I have since earned a Bachelor of Social Work degree from an indigenous perspective and I have learned a lot about me and my life and how I’ve been affected by intergenerational effects.I understand now why I am so stigmatized. I understand now who I am and where I come from. I have recognized not a lot of people, indigenous or otherwise, are unaware of what intergenerational effects are. I have correlated some effects with my life in hopes of giving more clarity in how they affect me and my people. These are my views, this is my understanding, and this is my life. These are The Ramblings and Correlations of an Intergenerational Mind.
