Book Description
The direction of this book is to cover the years I spent in the world of work and my associated private life at that time. To say that my years working in my career were enjoyable and challenging would be an understatement. My private life was also enjoyable and challenging. My life in these years was in many ways a mystery. As you read, you will see many eventful happenings and energy whose base was my God and Savior. It is my hope that Robert and Many Other Special People will be a book as good as the books People + Me and God Keeps On Giving.

White Fragility
Author: Dr. Robin DiAngelo
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807047422
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Living an Extraordinary Life
Author: Robert White
Publisher: Extraordinary Resources LLC
ISBN: 9780970539106
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Based on intensive work with over one million people worldwide, this personal development and leadership coaching book demonstrates that we all have everything it takes to live an extraordinary life - if we are willing to take charge of our lives and discover the true meaning of personal responsibility. Like diets we don't follow, 'self-help' books have become cliche-ridden shopping lists for what doesn't work. They are as likely to generate a Doonesbury spoof as improvements in people's lives. Often the only thing they improve is the thickness of their authors' wallets. Prescribing solutions is almost always ineffective and self-defeating. Until you are good and ready, you are not going to follow even the most well-meaning advice about personal growth. But if you are truly ready for growth and change, and if your facilitator is gifted, it is possible. The key is insightful coaching and a lot of penetrating questions, heart-to-heart questions that reach deep inside and ask you to address issues you can no longer afford to avoid. In this, Robert White's first book, he says, "I don't have the answers for your life, but I know for certain that you do. There are no rules in these pages, nothing conceptual or theoretical to be mastered or to memorize. It is simply an inquiry into what is possible for each of us in the areas of life we truly care about most: our relationships, career, personal identity, joy in living and connection to spirit.""

Pages : 172
Book Description
Robert Anderson inherited a ‘gift’ from his family which causes him to see the dead. A blow to the head dramatically enhances his ‘gift’ in the form of visions so strong that when he is drawn into those visions, he does not continue to experience the reality around him. His ‘gift’ allows him to witness the actual scene of a death. A serial killer with a thirst for young, innocent women has cruelly murdered several of them. While the police believe the killer committed suicide, families of the victims aren’t convinced and reach out to a Private Investigator who pays Robert to visit and experience their deceased daughters and wife’s deaths to help them identify the real killer. Robert creates death journals that lay out each horrific act and each vision seems to grow stronger. His visions and journals completely debunk the Police’s closed case convincing them to reopen the case. The News Services expose Roberts mission which puts Robert in the spotlight and puts a target on his back, since the serial killer has no plans of stopping any time soon. The female private investigator becomes involved with Robert and begins joining him at each scene to protect him during each vision. An unorthodox philanthropist named Alberto Black is forming a team of experts who can investigate difficult crimes and solve them. He has learned of Roberts skills and offers a place on his team to Robert, if Robert can survive this serial killer’s wrath.
