Us Merchant Mariner's Ww Ii Diary: a Small Window of Tens of Thousands
Author: Harry G. Pierson Jr.
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512725579
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The WW II Diary of a US Merchant Mariner brings to light previously untold WW II sea action and the wartime experiences of a few seagoing men, their ships, and their voyages. The diary includes high-seas action, drama, and a bizarre event that needs to be told for posterity. The story opens another small door into the lives of the seamen whose stories had heretofore rested dormant and gathered dust. The men of the Merchant Marine and the Navy Armed Guard, who comprise a forgotten gray area, forged a strong chain, and proved an indispensable team in the course of WW II. The narration here gathers together personal significant events of maritime shipboard action, and will provide insight and resources for future generations concerning how the US fought the way to victory. Based upon the WW II wartime voyages of the merchant ships listed in the introduction, the story also relates the daily activities recorded within the ships log books, several forms which were consulted for this book. A ships secret log book is maintained by the ships master, and subsequently is administered by the US Navy. The secret log, a wealth of information, contains voyage routes, ports of call, ship events, and records of longitude, latitude, and enemy action. In addition, the Naval Armed Guard commander also kept a daily log book of the armed guard service activities. And last, the official log book for ship activities and the merchant crews welfare and affairs, was kept by the ships chief mate. It was required by federal law and provided by the US Coast Guard. These and other records can be found shelved at the Naval District US Government Archived Files.

No Greater Service
Author: Alvin J. Hower
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489727566
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
March 1, 2021, Peace Corps turns sixty. Its mission—to teach a skill and to spread the Peace Corps brand of goodwill around the world—still resonates. In No Greater Service, author Alvin J. Hower highlights its relevance yesterday, today, and the years to come. This memoir offers a stirring, personal, vivid, and action-packed account of a Peace Corps volunteer’s remarkable life in the underserved areas of the southern Philippines. With curiosity, empathy, and wry humor, Hower creates a distinct Peace Corps photo memoir. An avid photographer, he produced more than 5,000 images of everyday people and the awe-inspiring beauty of a nation of 7,641 islands. He was a teacher and social worker in General Santos City, and a management consultant for a mission school in the remote mountains of Lake Sebu, Surallah, working and living with the indigenous T’boli people featured in the August 1971 National Geographic Magazine. No Greater Service also serves as a history of his host country, providing information about its complex customs and traditions as well as the notable stories of Filipinos he met and their fascinating updates fifty years later. At times hilarious, others sad and grim, it also shares a love story of his romantic alliance with a Filipina girl.

Book Description
Social Work with the Aged and Their Families presents the functional-age model (FAM) of intergenerational treatment, an integrative theoretical framework for social workers practicing with older adults and their families.

This volume, augmented with recent concepts related to successful aging, spirituality, and resiliency, presents the major converging conceptual trends that constitute a model for twenty-first century social work practice in the field of aging. It is an indispensable text for those training in social work practice with the elderly, or those currently in practice.

I Choose to Sing
Author: Bethany McClurg
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973616440
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
What happens when a young woman promises God everything and he takes it? With an unquenchable passion to glorify her Savior at nineteen years old, Bethany McClurg was on the cusp of following her dreams into a life of music and ministry. Suddenly diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia just two weeks after resolutely committing to follow God wherever he would lead, she was thrown into a journey that would draw her farther from her own dreams and closer to her God than she ever could have imagined. In this honest and inspiring account of her battle with a life-threatening disease and its ensuing complications, Bethany stands bravely behind the shield of faith to confront the far more wearisome battles of unbridled fear, despair, and discouragement. The cornerstone of her very existence is altered as the cross becomes her beacon and strength, taking the place of broken dreams and shattered trust. Then like a songbird on wings of grace, she emerges from the valley of the shadow of death, beckoning others to choose to sing of his love once again and forever.
