Book Description
"It's All about Saying Thanks" The attacks on New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and a small farm town in rural Pennsylvania shook the American people. Would America survive? Could America survive? The people of Paramus, New Jersey had many relatives and friends who worked in or near the World Trade Center and none of them will ever forget those agonizing hours waiting to hear if their families were safe. Days later, the children of East Brook Middle School responded. They discovered the new American Hero . . . America's First Responders. They organized a community service project called Operation Goody Bag to say thanks to local Fire, Rescue, Ambulance and Police for keeping their families safe. They sent Goody Bags to the United States Armed Forces sacrificing time away from their families to keep us free. In December of 2006, OGB was accepted as a member of America Supports You, a nationwide organization of the Department of Defense comprised of home front groups that support the troops. That's where Joey Rizzolo, a 6th Grader at East Brook Middle School, read about the yearly America Supports You Freedom Walk. Joey wanted to do more to say thanks to those who serve and decided that having a Freedom Walk in Paramus was the way to go. Follow Joey as he turns his dream into a reality. Surely, the 20 Steps to a Freedom Walk will inspire you to organize a Freedom Walk in your town.

Stride Toward Freedom
Author: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807000701
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
MLK’s classic account of the first successful large-scale act of nonviolent resistance in America: the Montgomery bus boycott. A young Dr. King wrote Stride Toward Freedom just 2 years after the successful completion of the boycott. In his memoir about the event, he tells the stories that informed his radical political thinking before, during, and after the boycott—from first witnessing economic injustice as a teenager and watching his parents experience discrimination to his decision to begin working with the NAACP. Throughout, he demonstrates how activism and leadership can come from any experience at any age. Comprehensive and intimate, Stride Toward Freedom emphasizes the collective nature of the movement and includes King’s experiences learning from other activists working on the boycott, including Mrs. Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin. It traces the phenomenal journey of a community and shows how the 28-year-old Dr. King, with his conviction for equality and nonviolence, helped transform the nation and the world.

A Walking Life
Author: Antonia Malchik
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 0738220175
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
For readers of On Trails, this is an incisive, utterly engaging exploration of walking: how it is fundamental to our being human, how we've designed it out of our lives, and how it is essential that we reembrace it. "I'm going for a walk." How often has this phrase been uttered by someone with a heart full of anger or sorrow? Or as an invitation, a precursor to a declaration of love? Our species and its predecessors have been bipedal walkers for at least six million years; by now, we take this seemingly arbitrary motion for granted. Yet how many of us still really walk in our everyday lives? Driven by a combination of a car-centric culture and an insatiable thirst for productivity and efficiency, we're spending more time sedentary and alone than we ever have before. If bipedal walking is truly what makes our species human, as paleoanthropologists claim, what does it mean that we are designing walking right out of our lives? Antonia Malchik asks essential questions at the center of humanity's evolution and social structures: Who gets to walk, and where? How did we lose the right to walk, and what implications does that have for the strength of our communities, the future of democracy, and the pervasive loneliness of individual lives? The loss of walking as an individual and a community act has the potential to destroy our deepest spiritual connections, our democratic society, our neighborhoods, and our freedom. But we can change the course of our mobility. And we need to. Delving into a wealth of science, history, and anecdote -- from our deepest origins as hominins to our first steps as babies, to universal design and social infrastructure, A Walking Life shows exactly how walking is essential, how deeply reliant our brains and bodies are on this simple pedestrian act -- and how we can reclaim it.

Book Description
God wants His children to walk in the freedom purchased for them by Christ at Calvary. Every person has been given the responsibility to make right choices in life—we must choose truth, reject lies and forgive those who hurt us—but God has not left us as orphans to fend for ourselves! The Holy Spirit gives us the power to walk in the freedom that is already ours in Christ. Following these 21 days of select readings will increase the liberating work that God has begun in you through the Steps to Freedom in Christ. Each daily devotional provides three truths—the truth about God, the truth about you and the truth about freedom—as well as recommended Scripture readings that affirm each of the three. As readers begin to hide these truths in their hearts, they will learn how to stand firm in their freedom and build a strong and holy shield against the enemy’s attacks.

The Savvy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom
Author: Susan Hayes
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241962498
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Financial trainer Susan Hayes believes that every woman can and should get to grips with money management. In The Savvy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom she gets to the heart of why you might be having problems and, lIke straight-talking American expert, Suze Orman, she comes up solutions whatever your situation. Think about it ... How many times have you said to yourself, 'This is the year when I finally get to grips with my finances'? But somehow time slips away and twelve months later you are no better off. How many times have you decided to stick to a budget only to see events get in the way and your good intentions frustrated? Do you have a nagging sense that you're not in charge of your money and that your future financial well-being is beyond your control? Even worse, in these challenging economic times, are you so stressed about money that you cannot even begin to see a way out of your situation? Whether you're figuring out how to squeeze enough money from the family budget to save for a much-needed holiday, finally preparing to tackle years of lifestyle debt, or taking a leap of faith and starting your own business, The Savvy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom is brimful of down-to-earth and encouraging advice, and practical user-friendly methods, to show you how to get where you want to go. By following Susan Hayes's guidance you could find that it takes as little as an hour a week to check your financial well-being, to make sure you are on track to accomplish your goals and to achieve ongoing peace of mind about money. Corkwoman Susan Hayes has had a life-long love affair with business (as a little girl she held board meetings with her teddy bears) and went on to get a BSC in Financial Maths and Economics from NUI Galway. She is managing director of the international financial training company Hayes Culleton. Because of her can-do approach to resolving even the stickiest economic questions in her many media appearances (RTÉ, TV3, Today FM, 4FM, Sunday Independent) she has become known as the Positive Economist.
