Book Description
Most of us have our version of simpler days--a bubble-like period when life was easy-going and untroubled. We had no responsibilities, mortgages, or debt, along with healthy bodies and sharp minds. Sunscreen was optional. Good hearing was a given. You could do flips off the diving board at the local public pool whenever you felt like it. Today... the only flip I ever do is the one where I slip on the ice to shovel my sidewalk. So... I challenge you to remember your childhood, pick your own story. We all have one, even if it's buried somewhere deep in the confines of our memories. Simple things... like -- hanging out at the local pizza joint. Playing in the street with all of your friends, memories of little league baseball games and ice skating at the local pond. It's remembering biking across town, playing chase, trying not to get caught by anyone. Not to mention the moment you realized that girls weren't as yucky as you once thought they were. Over the past few years, I looked back on my teenage years and discovered that I still see the footprints I once laid down in my small hometown. These footprints left an indelible mark on my life and these stories of my youth left behind an imprint that I carry to this day. Life is about returning. Returning home. I find myself on a journey to find my way home. My success is now more or less found in being a good man. A good husband. A good father. A good grandfather and a good servant of God. This is where home is for me now. I hope you enjoy more stories of my youth and I hope they inspire you to tell yours.

Gandhi's Footprints
Author: Predrag Cicovacki
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351518224
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Mahatma K. Gandhi's dedication to finding a path of liberation from an epidemic of violence has been well documented before. The central issue and the novelty of this book is its focus on what Gandhi wanted to liberate us for. The book also provides an assessment of how viable his positive vision of humanity is. Gandhi revolutionized the struggle for Indian liberation from Great Britain by convincing his countrymen that they must turn to nonviolence and that India needed to be liberated from its social ills—poverty, unemployment, opium addiction, institution of child marriage, inequality of women, and Hindu-Muslim frictions—even more than it needed political freedom. Although Gandhi's legacy has not been forgotten, it has often been distorted. He is called "Mahatma" and venerated as a saint, but not followed and often misinterpreted. Predrag Cicovacki attempts to de-mythologize Gandhi and take a closer look at his thoughts, aims, and struggles. He invites us to look at the footprints Gandhi left for us, and follow them as carefully and critically as possible. Cicovacki concludes that Gandhi's spiritual vision of humanity and the importance of adherence to truth (satyagraha)are his lasting legacy.

Caesar's Footprints
Author: Bijan Omrani
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 168177612X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
An intellectual adventure through ancient France revealing how Caesar’s conquest of Gaul changed the course of French culture, forever transforming modern Europe. Julius Caesar’s conquests in Gaul in the 50s b.c. were bloody, but the cultural revolution they brought in their wake forever transformed the ancient Celtic culture of that country. After Caesar, the Gauls exchanged their tribal quarrels for Roman values and acquired the paraphernalia of civilized urban life. The Romans also left behind a legacy of language, literature, law, government, religion, architecture, and industry. Each chapter of Caesar’s Footprints is dedicated to a specific journey of exploration through Roman Gaul. From the amphitheatres of Arles and Nîmes to the battlefield of Châlons (where Flavius Aetius defeated Attila the Hun), Bijan Omrani—an exciting and authoritative new voice in Roman history—explores archaeological sites, artifacts, and landscapes to reveal how the imprint of Roman culture shaped Celtic France, and thereby helped to create modern Europe.
