Get Off Your Knees
Author: John Robinson
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815651287
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Growing up, John Robinson never considered himself an inspiration to others. He was born a congenital amputee and stands three foot eight as an adult. Although he has no extension of his arms or legs, he has not been limited in his career or in his personal life. After graduating from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, he went on to work for NBC affiliates in upstate New York and today is the director of corporate support for WMHT, the public broadcasting television station in Albany. Robinson’s success did not come easily. From learning how to dress himself after going away to college, to making new friends and feeling accepted, he struggled to come to terms with his disability and make a life on his own. Although his journey may not be considered “normal,” he does not see this as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to succeed and to understand the meaning of responsibility. Robinson writes in an honest, personal voice, showing that a disability does not have to get in the way of an education, a career, a family, or one of his favorite hobbies, golf. Get Off Your Knees is a touching story and, as Robinson says, is for “anyone who feels they need inspiration, whether it be an individual with a mental or physical disability, parents of children with disabilities, or someone looking to overcome an obstacle in life.”

On Her Knees
Author: Brenda Marie Davies
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467461180
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
“The problem was, because Purity is an idol (a validated and worshiped idol), I didn’t know who or what I’d be without my totem. My Christianity depended on Purity.” Going to a conservative Christian church when she was young, Brenda Marie Davies heard a consistent message—save yourself for marriage—that instilled in her fear and shame about sex. But after moving to Los Angeles at nineteen and finding herself suddenly exposed to a world far outside her comfort zone, she was forced to wrestle with the power and perversity of Christian purity culture. On Her Knees chronicles Brenda’s spiritual journey over the course of a decade in LA, through marriage, divorce, unlikely friendship, and sexual exploration. Through it all, she began tearing down the false idol of purity while refusing to abandon her faith. Told with raw honesty, sans obligatory shame, this is a story for anyone who wonders if it’s possible to love God without fearing sex, in all its shades of grey.

Up to Our Knees

Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
It is widely recognised that bigotry is a problem in Scotland but nobody wants to tackle the real problem. Ridiculous claims that 'both sides are as bad are each other' actually stop any positive steps being taken. The truth is that it is all one-way and hatred of Catholics is endemic in our society.This hatred of Catholics did not begin with the Reformation; Scotland was actually quite a tolerant place. It was the building of a closer relationship with England that caused anti-Catholicism to become a major issue in Scottish society.This book examines the origins of Scottish anti-Catholic bigotry, why it laid down such strong roots and how it is excused and even justified to the present day.It also looks at anti-Catholicism in the UK, Ireland and the USA, which all help to make bigotry in Scotland seem like a logical path to take. While presenting the evidence in an even-handed manner, Pat Anderson reaches some surprising, although, perhaps not surprising to some, conclusions. Certainly, his findings show that anti-Catholicism even influences the very debate on bigotry in Scotland.While not pretending to be an exhaustive study, Pat Anderson, nonetheless, provides plenty of evidence to back up his conclusions. Not everyone will agree but it would be foolish to ignore Anderson's findings.
