In a sense, one might believe that to teach our children right from wrong, we are indeed teaching those same lessons to ourselvesas the saying goes, to point a finger only to have three more pointing back at you. Follow Mason Broady, a man long in years and experience, for a weekend while searching for some sort of sustenance from his own days alone. He finds himself now a widower, and routine is losing its flavor. Until by happenstance, he runs into an old from friend from a good while ago who will remind him that he is very much alive. Follow his family, his children, and grandchildren being a reflection of who he is and who he was. They too would have to navigate lifes intricacies, its hills, and valleys with the sort of questioning that would force an individual to either scream for an answer or fall to silence from simply not knowing. Theyll learn its okay not knowing sometimes. But still, in the end, they are a familysometimes loving one another and sometimes not so much. They are still a family.

Pages : 123
Book Description
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming is Henri Nouwen’s most popular book, selling over one million copies since its publication in 1992. What accounts for its ongoing popularity as a spiritual classic? Drawing from extensive research in Nouwen’s archives, author and Chief Archivist for the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust, Gabrielle Earnshaw, provides a detailed account of how the book came to be written, shedding light on Nouwen’s writing process and aspects of his life experience that influenced his insights and ideas. Earnshaw examines Nouwen’s intellectual formation as well as the impact of his family and friends on the shape of the book. Letters, many published here for the first time, give us a privileged look at Henri’s world during the nine years he took to complete the book. Earnshaw considers how it compares to other books published at the same time to place the work and its author in a historical, cultural and religious/spiritual context. Finally, she explores how Nouwen himself was changed by the book and why twenty-three later it continues to touch the hearts and minds of 21st century readers.

Fetch it! Having a dog who will retrieve his ball or frisbee and bring it back to be thrown again, is for many people the essence of a dog walk! But your dog may have other ideas … perhaps he takes the toy and runs off with it, or lies down and chews it, or even shows no interest whatever - leaving you to go and hunt for the toy yourself. This can all be changed! You just need a few key steps to make it all happen. Beverley Courtney has helped many, many dog-owners to turn their frustration with their dog into enjoyment and pure pleasure! Continuing in the same style as the immensely popular Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog series of books, you’ll soon have a dog who not only plays fetch, but also brings you your tv remote, his dog bowl or lead, and your slippers … not to mention searching for your lost car-keys! Through her force-free work with thousands of dogs, Beverley Courtney can show you a new way in these readable, jargon-free books! “My dog is lovely but quite excitable, which made some things really tricky. The advice in Beverley's books is clear and simple to follow, and best of all it teaches your dog to think for itself and make good choices without any commands. Seriously, if you want a nicer, better-behaved and calmer dog, read these books and follow her steps.” 5* review Buy Fetch It! today and transform your reluctant retriever into a fetching fanatic!

A Piece of Me
Author: Arif Ahmad
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781737392903
Category : Cardiologists
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
"I am Dr. Arif Ahmad, a busy cardiologist in Wisconsin, USA, double boarded in Cardiology and Electrophysiology. I am a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a Fellow of Heart Rhythm Society. This book is a labor of love starting with the first writing, The Optimist, in 2013 and gradually accumulating over the years. It is the World during these times from the perspective of a brown Muslim Pakistani American Physician, and then it is some more. My weaving into the American society is a story in itself. Believing in the absolute equality of all people, I claim zero superiority over anyone else based on region, race, religion, or for any other reason. In the same breath, I refuse to become a second-rate citizen. The American society, in its most honest state, lends itself well to these ideals. That I belong to a family of farmers and hunters helped me feel at home in the American Midwest. My farm, my own piece of heaven, completed this transition. Believing that the best societies are the better examples of symbiosis, I know that this cannot be taken for granted. In my view, the act of becoming a good Samaritan is the most essential facet of our existence. In trying and giving you my best, I give myself the best chance of receiving yours in return. This book is my effort at such understanding and fellowship. Then it is some more"-- Page [4] of cover.
