Book Description
We are all touched by death in some way. Les Johnson's, Tell Everyone, takes you through the jarring experiences of loss and pain that left him without a wife, and almost without his daughter, Heather. The ripples that move through his family after these events are devastating, and his vulnerable retelling makes it relatable. The narrative weaves through a series of events, journals, and letters to his daughter while she was in a coma for weeks. However, the lasting message is the one she brings back with her when she awakens and is determined to tell everyone, of the glad tidings sent directly from Jesus to be shared with all the world. The question of God's existence, his plan for us, and where we go after this life are beautifully answered in a captivating way. This is a gift in book form, and is addressed to me, you and everyone, so give a gift that lasts, and Tell Everyone.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Social media is fuelling our human urge to share, affecting the information we depend on to make smart decisions, from choosing politicians to doing business to raising money for charity. Tell Everyone delves into contemporary culture to reveal how social media has become the planet's nervous system—amplifying the power of individuals, informing our choices and shaping how we learn about our world. Writing with journalistic flair but with academic rigour, online news pioneer and social media maven Alfred Hermida lays bare why we feel compelled to share news, gossip and information, and always have. Every day more than 500 million messages are sent on Twitter, 800 million people share four billion stories, links, photographs and videos on Facebook. Every minute, 100 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. And the flow is ever-increasing. In this new era of media saturation, what do we mean by “the news”? Is “the most trusted name in news” today a veteran anchor on television or an undergraduate tweeting from Tahrir Square in Cairo? Tell Everyone spells out how our ability to create and share news is shaping the information we receive and depend on to make informed decisions, from choosing politicians to doing business. Drawing on historical examples, real-world experiences and leading research, Tell Everyone explains how the power of sharing is transforming how we understand and give meaning to world events.

Tell Everyone on This Train I Love Them
Author: Maeve Higgins
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525507442
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Deeply funny, moving, and urgent writing about a country that can feel broken into pieces and the light that shines through the cracks, from Irish comedian Maeve Higgins, author of Maeve in America. As an eternally curious outsider, Maeve Higgins can see that the United States is still an experiment. Some parts work well and others really don’t, but that doesn't stop her from loving the place and the people that make it. With piercing political commentary in a sweet and salty tone, these essays unearth answers to the questions we all have about this country we call home; the beauty of it all and the dark parts too. Maeve attends the 2020 Border Security Expo to better understand the future of our borders, and finds herself at The Alamo surrounded by queso and homemade rifles. A chance encounter with a statue of a teenage horseback rider causes her to interrogate the purpose of monuments, this sends her hurtling through the past, connecting Ireland’s revolutionary history with the struggles of Black Americans today. And after mistaking edibles for innocent candies, Maeve gets way too high at Paper Source. Most of all, Maeve wants to leave this country and this planet better than she found it. That may well be impossible, but it certainly means showing love. Lots of it, even when it's difficult to do so. Threaded through these pieces is love for strangers, love for friends who show up right on time, love for trees, love for Tom Hardy, love for those with differing opinions, love for the glamorous older women of Brighton Beach with tattooed eyeliner and gold jewelry, love for everybody on this train.

Then I had to face one of my biggest struggles, becoming a teen mother. I eventually had to give up friends and graduated after only 3 years of high school.

Unprotected sex is one of the most popular choice a teenager would make without thinking about the affects it would have. In this story, you would see the difficulties as a teenage mom struggling through the drama of dealing with her daughters father and his family. Losing her faith and finding it again. She turns what could have been the most devastating turning point in her life into her motivation to become someone her daughter could look up to and be proud of.

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour
Author: Joshua Ferris
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316329134
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, this big, brilliant, profoundly observed novel by National Book Award Finalist Joshua Ferris explores the absurdities of modern life and one man's search for meaning. Paul O'Rourke is a man made of contradictions: he loves the world, but doesn't know how to live in it. He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God. Then someone begins to impersonate Paul online, and he watches in horror as a website, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account are created in his name. What begins as an outrageous violation of his privacy soon becomes something more soul-frightening: the possibility that the online "Paul" might be a better version of the real thing. As Paul's quest to learn why his identity has been stolen deepens, he is forced to confront his troubled past and his uncertain future in a life disturbingly split between the real and the virtual. At once laugh-out-loud funny about the absurdities of the modern world, and indelibly profound about the eternal questions of the meaning of life, love and truth, To Rise Again at a Decent Hour is a deeply moving and constantly surprising tour de force.

Invariable Snow for the Eskimo ...
Author: B. Johnny Way
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504954076
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
From his birth in August of 1956 until early 1960, author B. Johnny Way lived a pretty normal life, during which time he tried his best to understand the simplest of childhood complexities. And then, somewhere around his fourth birthday, he began to change. In Invariable Snow for the Eskimo, Way shares the account of his early life that included living for almost twenty-four months on Kodiak Island. Way narrates a variety of adventures and experiences including the joys of slicing and gliding around on a huge sheet of ice atop a frozen Alaskan lake, witnessing firsthand the larger-than-life, scary-looking sea creatures from the icy-cold waters of the Gulf of Alaska, and fishing for sockeye salmon in one of the many streams and rivers of Alaska with his homemade fishing pole, made from the wood of a kids toy kite. Invariable Snow for the Eskimo discusses how, Way, as a youngster, quickly learned that helping others was more advantageous and rewarding than first thought and that sharing your time, patience, and knowledge with friends as well as strangers is better than any other kind of reward.
