Book Description
One man’s journey though his reality of life which is mirrored in millions of Americans. Both addict and non-addict will benefit from Mike’s inspiring words. His poetry was found by his sister ten years after his death. The words were moving, compelling and inspired his sister, Sharon, to put his collection of thoughts into a manuscript. Many subjects Mike covered were life experiences: love lost and found, addiction, depression, relationships, mother and fatherhood, ageing and his own personal demons that led him to the extreme. Mike’s words were touching, thought-provoking, heartbreaking and ultimately tragic! The book portrays the other side of an addict. The saying “don’t judge a book by its cover,” has one meaning ... to go beyond what you see. For the non-addict look past the addiction. Look into the eyes of an addict, which will reveal the pain in their soul. Give yourself an opportunity to get to know the person. Do not judge him/her because you have no idea the roads they’ve travelled. For the addict, don’t sell yourself short. Believe in yourself! Give yourself permission to fulfill your dreams. You too can have an exciting future. If you don’t re-evaluate your future today, you may find yourself mimicking Mike. Any journey begins and ends with you.

My Brother, Muhammad Ali
Author: Rahaman Ali
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538142457
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
“Rahaman has, at last, written the definitive biography on his late brother, which tells the real Ali story.” —Mike Tyson More words have been written about Muhammad Ali than almost anyone else. He was, without doubt, the world’s most-loved sportsman. At the height of his celebrity he was the most famous person in the world. And yet, until now, the one voice missing belonged to the man who knew him best—his only sibling, and best friend, Rahaman Ali. No one was closer to Ali than Rahaman. Born Cassius and Rudolph Arnett Clay, the two brothers grew up together, lived together, trained together, travelled together, and fought together in the street and in the ring. A near-constant fixture in his sibling’s company, Rahaman saw Ali at both his best and his worst: the relentless prankster and the jealous older brother, the outspoken advocate, the husband and father. In My Brother, Muhammad Ali, Rahaman offers an insider's perspective on the well-known stories as well as never-before-told tales, painting a rich and intimate portrait of a proud, relentlessly polarizing, yet often vulnerable man. In this extraordinary, poignant memoir, Rahaman tells a much bigger and more personal story than in any other book on Muhammad Ali—that of two brothers, almost inseparable from birth to death. It is the final and most important perspective on an iconic figure.

My Brother's Keeper
Author: Jeff Riddering
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781726634809
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
"Jeff, I'm going to hell!"So begins the incredible, true story, told by the brother of an unlikely hero, Mike Riddering. A divine series of interruptions, his unexpected conversion and simple obedience carried Mike, his wife, and two daughters, from the fast-paced, Florida, yacht broker lifestyle to the dry, desert heat of Sub-Saharan Africa. My Brother's Keeper is the triumphant story of a man so profoundly transformed by love and faith that the rest of his life would be given to the poorest of the poor in Burkina Faso. It is the story of a modern-day martyr whose life was cut short in a brutal terrorist attack that shocked the nation. An enduring legacy of love-driven global missions speaks directly to the headlines of our day: racism, terrorism, hatred, riots, political divisions, war. Mike's life and death whisper in the midst of rage and retribution the power of love to cover a multitude of sins. In the end, what Mike gave--even to the point of his final sacrifice--can never be taken away. What remains is not the death of a saint, but the life of a servant. My Brother's Keeper will inspire and challenge you to take your place in the great story of God in these final days of history.

Don's Brother
Author: Mike Stephens
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781494753566
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
What did one man do when faced with the unspeakable, untimely loss of his younger brother? He set out on a 2,186-mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Now he shares his journey of healing on the higher road in Don's Brother: A Hike of Hope on the Appalachian Trail. A tribute to faith, family, and personal fortitude, this moving account will captivate outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who is navigating the tough emotional terrain of grief. When the author's younger brother, Don, was diagnosed with ALS, Stephens promised to complete a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. However, the author may not have mentioned his method of doing so. Rather than carrying a full pack every day, he only occasionally slept in the woods, instead often opting for shuttles to nearby “trail towns” and beds. Along the way, he also committed to sharing Don's story, using the trail name “Don's Brother” and raising awareness for ALS. While reflecting on his brother's deep faith, devotion to family, and resolve in the face of his horrendous disease, the author's personal accomplishment and profound healing will move anyone to hit the road and take heart in the boundless capacity of brotherly love.
