Book Description
Padre Island, Texas, USA. Padre Island National Seashore Tourism. Every March, like clockwork, students cram into cars and head to South Padre Island for spring break fun in the sun and 24-hour beach bashes. While the island is still home to spring breakers for just over a month, the area has seen a rebirth of sorts as a popular family vacation destination. That's because South Padre, or SPI, delivers with wide sandy beaches, sparkling blue water and a mixture of fun activities for kids of all ages. But there's more to SPI than beach revelry. Kiteboarding is a favorite pastime and several sports outfitters offer deep-sea fishing trips and dolphin-watching excursions. The consistently warm weather also seduces northern Texans seeking refuge from the cold. And it's understandable: Just a day's drive from major Texas cities like Houston and Dallas, this seaside paradise is right in the state's own backyard.

Letting Go ... with a Clenched Fist
Author: Noreen Kauffman Fenton
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664250565
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
Sometimes when life doesn’t turn out the way we thought it would, our tendency is to try to fight the feelings of loss, anger, and being out of control. Dreams are dashed, people get sick, promises are broken, deaths occur, life gets messy, and we clench our fists tightly around whatever we can, trying to hold onto our perception of normal. When we learn to loosen our grip, unclench our fists, and grasp God’s hand, a place of rest and healing can begin. His faithfulness becomes our new focus, and our tight knuckles open up and rest in God’s palm of peace. Letting go is possible, because the discovery of God’s faithfulness runs like a smooth salve over the bruised and broken places in our lives. That discovery can be trusted and counted on, beyond our wounded hearts, frayed nerves, and unanswerable questions. The journey is worth the process, and restoration and hope can then replace pain and loss.

Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
ONE OF KIRKUS REVIEWS' BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR “A richly conceived and devastating book about the border.” —Houston Chronicle From a distance, the towns along the U.S.-Mexican border have dangerous reputations, and Brownsville is no different. But to twelve-year-old Orly, it’s simply where his godmother Nina lives—and where he is being forced to stay the summer after his mother’s sudden death. Nina, however, has a secret: she’s providing refuge for a young immigrant boy named Daniel, for whom traveling to America has meant trading one set of dangers for another. Separated from the violent human traffickers who brought him across the border and pursued by the authorities, Daniel must stay completely hidden. And Orly’s arrival threatens to put them all at risk of exposure. Tackling the crisis of U.S. immigration policy from a deeply human angle, Where We Come From explores through an intimate lens the ways that family history shapes us, how secrets can burden us, and how finding compassion and understanding for others can ultimately set us free.
