Book Description
Each one of us are fighting our own challenges in our day-to-day lives, aren’t we? But there are some amongst us who brush their shoulders with real-time war, like the Ex-Captain V.H.Makaikar from the Indian Army. Was he born with a silver spoon? Did he aspire for more than what life had to offer him? Did he have to fight other battles in life, other than the army? The veteran nurtured narrative values, like that of courage, perseverance, and self-help. They were key assets for him to achieve his personal and professional goals. The veteran held his values and beliefs close to his chest just the way the Moon held Moondust. He was one such person who never sang his own praises inspite of his towering personality. Hence, his daughter ventured out to sing his unsung song for the readers, while she canvassed his biography in print.

Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
To the modern mind, the concept of poverty is often confused with destitution. But destitution emphatically is not the Gospel ideal. A love-filled sharing frugality is the message, and Happy Are You Poor explains the meaning of this beatitude lived and taught by Jesus himself. But isn't simplicity in lifestyle meant only for nuns and priests? Are not all of us to enjoy the goodness and beauties of our magnificent creation? Are parents to be frugal with the children they love so much? The renowned spiritual writer Dubay gives surprising replies to these questions. He explains how material things are like extensions of our persons and thus of our love. If everyone lived this love there would be no destitution. After presenting the richness of the Gospel message, more beautiful than any other world view, he explains how Gospel frugality is lived in each state of life.

Once upon a time in China, the most beautiful and gifted women were known as "skeleton women"--the ultimate femme fatales who could bring a man to his knees, or to his doom. . . When Camilla, a young orphan girl in Shanghai, is adopted and brought to live in luxury, it seems like a stroke of luck. But as Camilla grows to womanhood, she realizes that her "rescue" was part of gang leader Big Brother Wang's scheme. Camilla is trained in singing, dancing, knife-throwing and contortion--all to attract the attention of Wang's enemy, the ruthless Master Lung. Forced to become Master Lung's mistress, Camilla meets two other intriguing women. Shadow is a magician and rival for Master Lung's affections, while Rainbow Chang dresses like a man and wields power through her incendiary gossip column. Both pose risks to Camilla's safety and status. But an even greater danger comes in the form of Master Lung's eldest son, Jinying, who despises his father's violent lifestyle--but loves Camilla. Only by plotting to eliminate Lung can she make her escape, but at what cost?
