Book Description
Flights of Faith is the autobiography of a Christian airline pilot who shares his experiences during his career as an airline pilot and as a reverend minister, and where he encourages others to commit their ways to the Lord. This book talks about the experiences of Rev. Capt (retired) Emmanuel Odoi Woolley, who in the skies of the unseen trusted God in all his aerial journeys. There were rough times where he trusted God, and there were joyful moments as well--especially his last flight after forty-plus years of flying safely around the world. In all this he did not see himself as having achieved something by his own feat, but instead by the grace of God. Others never had it this way. "The lesson in this book echoes the prophet Micah's exhortation in Micah 6:8: He has told you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and walk humbly with your God. (ESV)" - Rev. Samuel Kofi Osabutey

Flight of Faith
Author: Frederick Berretta
Publisher: TAN Books
ISBN: 1935302922
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Plunged into the icy waters of the Hudson...God spared Frederick Berretta's life in an instant -- and changed his heart forever. Frederick Berretta was an amateur pilot himself, so when U.S. Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of geese and lost both engines, minutes after takeoff from Laguardia Airport on that fateful afternoon of January 15, 2009, he knew before most of his fellow passengers that something was seriously wrong. As the roar of the jets quieted and the aircraft ceased to climb, as the pilot guided the powerless plane towards a desperate crash landing and announced, "Brace for impact," Berretta fingered the prayer book in his pocket and tried to prepare himself for death. A multitude of thoughts flooded his mind all at once. He reminded himself that the odds of surviving a water landing were slim to none. He thought of his wife and his four children, and how they would miss him. He remembered he had just been to confession and to Mass, and he wondered if his soul would be ready to meet the Lord. And he knew he had to pray. "God, please be merciful to us, for the sake of your Son," he whispered. "Please spare us. I trust in you. Jesus, I trust in you. Mother of God, please pray for us." At that very instant, Berretta felt a "push" or "nudge" on his conscience; a state of awareness he'd never before experienced; and a keen realization that he had to do something. But what? Then God's voice sounded strong and clear in the depths of his soul: Are you going to accept My will for your life? For Frederick Berretta, the events of that fateful January day were the crystallizing moment of a lifetime of conversion. This story tells how he lost his childhood faith and as a young adult embraced a selfish, worldly life, how he suffered through family turmoil and the death of a child, and how by God's grace he slowly returned to the Church, humbled and grateful. God used the "Miracle on the Hudson" to confirm him in his faith and set him on fire to share it with others. Flight of Faith is the inspiring true story of how God works in our lives in simple and extraordinary ways. Read more at the Flight of Faith website.

Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith
Author: Cindy Dell Clark
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226107787
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Through the mysteries and myths of Christmas and Easter, families balance the values of receiving and giving, of growth and sacrifice. Each aspect of the Santa myth, from his slide down a chimney to his big red suit, plays a part in a child's imagination. Through their offerings of milk and cookies and their letter writing, children bring their relationship to Santa into developing attitudes toward giving and receiving gifts. The Easter Bunny story, with its ritual egg hunt and baskets of brightly colored candy, is explored in terms of life and its possibility of growth. In these examples, Clark shows how children play an active role in constructing family rituals and cultural reality, since their willingness to make the stories their own helps to renew the traditions.

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462034535
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
For all accounts and purposes the life of one dog shouldn't make that much of a difference, but this life did. Faith's life began without hope and without love. Having been rescued by Reuben Stringfellow at the age of three weeks, Faith's life took a dramatic turn. Completely unable to function as a normal dog, it was up to the Stringfellow family to create in Faith a means to function as best she could. This is the definitive book on the life of Faith the Dog. Her life story is one for the history books. In fact, her story appears in scholastic text books in several countries! Courage, perseverance, dogged-determination, and a generally great disposition is what it took for Faith to become who and what she is today: "A Modern Day Miracle".
