Book Description
Old-timer physician, Stephen L. DeFelice, with no holds barred, describes to his grandchildren, Olivia and Stephen Carlos, how they are rapidly crossing the bridge from the traditional world into the cold, controlling world of technology. As a result, we are all surrendering our privacy and freedom to others while, puzzlingly, there are few effective leaders to guide and protect us. This book analyzes what people and governments are really like, the dark side of technology and such subjects as our educational system, the media, our hate epidemic, the sexual revolution, evolution and the anti-God movements as well as ways to adjust to this new, unsettling world of technology. He coined an interesting term, The Internet Democracy, as a major cause behind the dynamics fueling our chaotic technological-based cultural explosion. Dr. DeFelice was born of Italian immigrant parents in 1936 in a home without a television or telephone and has had, firsthand, the unique privilege of personally observing and analyzing the power of increasing technology and its impact on our changing cultural values over four generations, an opportunity that future historians will not have. In 1976 he founded FIM, the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, whose mission is to accelerate medical discovery, www.fimdefelice.org.

"But Grandpa....Who Made God?"
Author: Grandpa Henning
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This story tells of actual instances involving Grandpa Henning and (in particular) his grandson Billy, when he was just six years old. One day, the normal conversation occurring during playtime with Billy turned decidedly (by him) to a focused and significantly important topic. More specifically and with Billy being a rather exacting person, very inquisitive and always wondering and searching, he began talking about God, and the result of that memorable day was his asking Grandpa, specifically, "But, Grandpa, who made God?" From that point on, Grandpa's direction was clearly defined and calling for him to provide a well-considered, understandable response. Grandpa gladly accepted that responsibility, and the rest is history, as they say. Perhaps the Lord is now calling you in a similar manner or will be in the future or even perhaps has called you in the past to provide guidance to a family member or a friend and you did not allow yourself to proceed. Perhaps the story revealed in this book is exactly what you need in your life now to either accept the truth about Christ, our Savior, yourself or be a part of the effort to help another come to know the plan God has for their life. Step forward and know the peace and joy that are yours to behold!

Grandpa Jack
Author: Jeff Hampton
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1622951050
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
"Is it time?" Jack asked, already knowing the answer. "Yes, Jack, everyone's waiting for you. The hall is bursting at the seams with your friends. And all the networks have their people in place. All that's missing is you." "What will I say, Billy?" "Just go down there and tell them what's on your mind. Just like always." Jack nodded appreciatively, pulled open the door, and walked into the light and noise. Few people among the hundreds of millions that have populated the United States have stood where Jack Dodger stood on that November night. The odds of anyone getting to that place in time were extremely high-even more so for a man like Jack Dodger. After a lifetime of struggles, Jack Dodger wants nothing more than to spend his retirement playing cards with old friends at the barbershop in East Dallas. But everything changes on New Year's Eve when a burglar bursts through the door and takes Jack into the night at gunpoint. Jack returns safely home the next morning but with a secret and a story that will propel him into the spotlight and onto the biggest stage in America: the race for President of the United States. Will Grandpa Jack win the election? And will he survive the process? What will he learn about himself and his country along the way? Join Grandpa Jack on a journey that takes him from coast to coast and from the depth of disillusionment to the pinnacle of pride.

Shhh, Grown Folks Is Talking
Author: Jacquinita A. Rose
Publisher: Grown Folks' Publishing
ISBN: 0985419911
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
I am “Mom” because of my nurturing parents -- My Grandparents, Leroy and Roberta. I wanted my children to realize that I didn’t start life at 40. The knowledge of how to fairly delegate chores and to regulate video game usage did not happen by osmosis. For my sake and theirs, my children needed to know their family history. So, why not begin with me. As a kid and a teenager, I marveled at how Grandma and Grandpa, although not “proper” English speakers, had a way of explaining things. So, any words from their lips were right and true. Nestled comfortably beneath the sofa, I relished every word. From my world view, as a child, there existed two categories: Grandma and Grandpa and then everybody else. Learn how I fought my way through adolescence, the pains of fitting in and cynicism, with the help and love of my grandparents and some well-organized mischief.

Book Description
Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood. "I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too." Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.
