Tiers of Sorrow
Author: Sandra Huerta
Publisher: Tiers of Sorrow

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This is a true story of the death of a child through homicide. It is about a mother's healing journey and the pivotal decisions she had to make in order to survive her son's death. It is about betrayal, and a shocking verdict but it's also about love, courage, and faith. It is hope for survival and inspiration for revival for those that are suffering a similar loss. "Unforgettable. The layers of grief are too exquisite for words but Sandra finds a way to the depth of her soul and describes the torment with such clarity ... you will not soon forget. Her haunting dreams will stay with you long after you have finished this extraordinary story of love, betrayal, courage, and hope. "Tiers of Sorrow" is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful true stories you will ever read." -Wayne Cooper, Author and Publisher / Levita Media "Sandra is on a mission. After the violent death of her young adult son, she has armed herself with weapons from another world. Sandra has discovered the keys to hope and wellbeing but not until after experiencing utter grief and pain herself. A wounded healer knows how to reach the hurting. She has traveled the journey of deep sorrow and injustice and has come through it with startling understanding and strength. I recommend this book to the professionals who help crime victims and their families but, mostly, this story has the power to minister to anyone who suffers the loss of a loved one from a shooting, stabbing, or violent crime." -Margaret Montreuil, Speaker and Author, God in Sandals, God with Us, His Kingdome Come, and coming soon, Come & See "Deeply moving yet chilling. Tiers of Sorrow compels the reader to set aside petty, insignificant differences with loved ones and cherish every moment as the gift it is. It demonstrates courage in the face of heart wrenching circumstances that inspires hope us all." -M. Ann Bruce, Author, Director, Producer

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Decoded
Author: David Day
Publisher: Doubleday Canada
ISBN: 0385682271
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This gorgeous 150th anniversary edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is also a revelatory work of scholarship. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland--published 150 years ago in 1865--is a book many of us love and feel we know well. But it turns out we have only scratched the surface. Scholar David Day has spent many years down the rabbit hole of this children's classic and has emerged with a revelatory new view of its contents. What we have here, he brilliantly and persuasively argues, is a complete classical education in coded form--Carroll's gift to his "wonder child" Alice Liddell. In two continuous commentaries, woven around the complete text of the novel for ease of cross-reference on every page, David Day reveals the many layers of teaching, concealed by manipulation of language, that are carried so lightly in the beguiling form of a fairy tale. These layers relate directly to Carroll's interest in philosophy, history, mathematics, classics, poetry, spiritualism and even to his love of music--both sacred and profane. His novel is a memory palace, given to Alice as the great gift of an education. It was delivered in coded form because in that age, it was a gift no girl would be permitted to receive in any other way. Day also shows how a large number of the characters in the book are based on real Victorians. Wonderland, he shows, is a veritable "Who's Who" of Oxford at the height of its power and influence in the Victorian Age. There is so much to be found behind the imaginary characters and creatures that inhabit the pages of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. David Day's warm, witty and brilliantly insightful guide--beautifully designed and stunningly illustrated throughout in full colour--will make you marvel at the book as never before.

Easytalk - Advanced
Author: Tom Dillman
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665503319
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
EasyTalk is designed to help many millions of yearly visitors (business and pleasure) to the United States, the many business owners throughout the World who want to take part in the giant U.S. economy, the slightly over 1 million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every year and the millions of resident professionals from the last dozen years or more. Many formerly foreign medical folks in the one of the World’s largest Medical Centers, for example, who asked me to compile a book so they can at least enjoy going to the grocery store, do other shopping or their jobs better. Underlying EasyTalk is the little understood Science of Phonology (hearing and listening) expressed in common, simplified language to achieve these goals. The book’s area of phonology focuses on short and long sounds of our alphabets vowels as they modify conversation syllables in talking or listening to others.

She Think She Cute!

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Several years ago I served as Dean of Students at my school. I was responsible for handling discipline problems.. As I would recommend discipline according to my district;’s uniform discipline code handbook, I began to notice an alarming trend in the students who were reffered to my office for discipline. Students who were fighting, arguing, bullying were getting younger and younger. My normal pre-teen hormone driven offenders were being outnumbered by six, seven and eight year-old girls. Alarmed by this, I decided to conduct in-house research to gain insight as to where they were getting this behavior from. I received permission to conduct the research from my principal, and promised to share my findings with him, my colleagues and most importantly, their parents. I created a survey and distributed it to 3-8th grade girls. I analyzed the results and was horrified by what they yielded. Their behavior was a carbon-copy of how we, African-American women, treat each other. The envy, jealousy, contempt that these girls had for each other is displayed by us! Puzzled and concerned, I began to think about how we as a school can began to have dialogue with the students to become change agents. But in order to get them to change, we ourselves must do so. This led me into further reflection on how we treat each other at work, in church, and in our family. I began with myself, and there my journey began. I welcome you to follow my journey as I go from the researching a subject, to becoming the subject of my research! As you read my story, it WILL eventually become yours! You will see some unflattering and often ugly behavior. Most was done by me at church, at work and with my family. I throw myself under the bus, but I take a few of you under with me. Remember the objective is to heal, not hurt. If you can’t say “Amen”, say “Ouch!”.

Book Description
When Robert Wolff found a strange horn in an empty house he held the key to a different universe. To blow that horn would open up a door through space-time and permit entry to a cosmos whose dimensions and laws were not those known by our starry galaxy. For that other universe was a place of tiers, world upon world piled upon each other like the landings of a sky-piercing mountain. The one to blow that horn would ascend those steps, from creation to creation, until he would come face to face with the being whose brain-child it was. But what if that maker of universes was a madman? Or an imposter? Or a super-criminal hiding from the wrath of his own superiors...?
