These Old Shoes
Author: Barry Amacker
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1619963663
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
These Old Shoes was inspired by a farewell message that I presented at Fountain of Life Church in Saraland, Alabama on May 15, 2011. It was not a typical farewell message, because I was stepping out of my old shoes as music director and my daughter, Alisa, was stepping into them. On this day, during the choir's final song, I stepped out of my shoes and she stepped into them. My wife, Kathy, and I draped my prayer shawl (Elijah's mantel) around Alisa's shoulders and walked off of the platform. These Old Shoes is intended to remind Alisa, and all of us that no matter where our path may lead, God has given us the shoes we need to press on to victory! Barry Amacker is currently the Superintendent of Education of the Jackson County School District in Mississippi and currently lives in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Previously, he has served as a band director, assistant principal, and principal in the Mobile County Public School System in Mobile, Alabama, and as a principal, and assistant superintendent in the Jackson County School District. After graduation from Moss Point High School, he attended the University of South Alabama and earned a bachelor of science in music education. Later he earned a master's in education from the University of South Alabama and a doctorate in education from Nova Southeastern University. Along with maintaining his professional career in education, Barry has served as minister of music at various churches throughout the years. He was also a part of the Gospel Four, a family group with various other musicians. While in the Gospel Four, Barry wrote several songs that were recorded by the group. Barry and Kathy have a daily radio program, Power to Press On, covering the southern counties of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Those Shoes
Author: Maribeth Boelts
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763691488
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

The Wild Vine
Author: Todd Kliman
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307409376
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A rich romp through untold American history featuring fabulous characters, The Wild Vine is the tale of a little-known American grape that rocked the fine-wine world of the nineteenth century and is poised to do so again today. Author Todd Kliman sets out on an epic quest to unravel the mystery behind Norton, a grape used to make a Missouri wine that claimed a prestigious gold medal at an international exhibition in Vienna in 1873. At a time when the vineyards of France were being ravaged by phylloxera, this grape seemed to promise a bright future for a truly American brand of wine-making, earthy and wild. And then Norton all but vanished. What happened? The narrative begins more than a hundred years before California wines were thought to have put America on the map as a wine-making nation and weaves together the lives of a fascinating cast of renegades. We encounter the suicidal Dr. Daniel Norton, tinkering in his experimental garden in 1820s Richmond, Virginia. Half on purpose and half by chance, he creates a hybrid grape that can withstand the harsh New World climate and produce good, drinkable wine, thus succeeding where so many others had failed so fantastically before, from the Jamestown colonists to Thomas Jefferson himself. Thanks to an influential Long Island, New York, seed catalog, the grape moves west, where it is picked up in Missouri by German immigrants who craft the historic 1873 bottling. Prohibition sees these vineyards burned to the ground by government order, but bootleggers keep the grape alive in hidden backwoods plots. Generations later, retired Air Force pilot Dennis Horton, who grew up playing in the abandoned wine caves of the very winery that produced the 1873 Norton, brings cuttings of the grape back home to Virginia. Here, dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner Jenni McCloud, on an improbable journey of her own, becomes Norton’s ultimate champion, deciding, against all odds, to stake her entire reputation on the outsider grape. Brilliant and provocative, The Wild Vine shares with readers a great American secret, resuscitating the Norton grape and its elusive, inky drink and forever changing the way we look at wine, America, and long-cherished notions of identity and reinvention.
