The Sun Does Shine (Young Readers Edition)
Author: Anthony Ray Hinton
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN: 1250817374
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times, now adapted for younger readers, with a revised foreword by Just Mercy author Bryan Stevenson. In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. But with a criminal justice system with the cards stacked against Black men, Hinton was sentenced to death . He spent his first three years on Death Row in despairing silence—angry and full of hatred for all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon—transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015. With themes both timely and timeless, Hinton’s memoir tells his dramatic 30-year journey and shows how you can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.

The Sunshine Principle
Author: Melody Lyons
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781953644008
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The Sunshine Principle is this: that the greatest potential for healing occurs when we align our behaviors with God's natural, biological, and spiritual laws. We see this play out repeatedly in the Church's teachings, Sacred Scripture, and Sacred Tradition. Once the gimmicks, verbiage, and misunderstandings related to natural wellness are stripped away, we are left with a simple formula based on God's design for creation and His great love for us. Every detail of daily living-from what we eat to how we pray-is broken down to this principle, making healing possible, accessible, and joyful! This book is a testimony to the truth of God's love and attentiveness through His natural gifts, and a bridge for the seeker who wants to explore pharmaceutical alternatives without falling into the errors of New Age earth and body worship. It presents a simple plan to help gently restore an individual, familial, and cultural vision to that which God intended for His beloved people. The enemies of God want us sick, depressed, oppressed, anxious, numbed, confused, and defeated. Let us reject those things which dull the senses and make the body ill and the intellect more inclined to despair. Let us fight for joy, strength, hope, and clarity. God created this body to serve Him. Serviam!

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Set in the northern Minnesota wilderness, a timeless novel about a boy and his imaginary dog explores the legacy of guilt and blame—and what really constitutes a family.

Since as far back as Ben can remember, it’s been him, his devoted dad, and Sunshine—Ben’s little dog, who rarely leaves Ben’s side. It was Mom who did the leaving, and Ben’s about to spend a whole week with his suddenly present mother in the wilds of northern Minnesota. On the remote island she calls home, Ben will learn to canoe, weather the elements, and weigh a burning question: when will she come back to where she belongs? A must-read for dog lovers, children of divorce, and the imaginative and outdoorsy, Sunshine is a poignant, ultimately hopeful story about self-discovery, facing big realities, and finally, forgiving the things—and people—you can’t forget.
