Book Description
David Pawson was widely regarded as one of the finest Bible teachers of our generation. This is a collection of tributes from around the world of David’s friends. It contains personal stories of their friendships with David as well as how David’s teaching ministry had impacted them and others in the churches in their countries. In these tributes, we see different aspects of David that are not as well known but that have endeared him to his friends. What they say about David Pawson: His life and ministry were well lived and stand as an outstanding example in our day when such things are rare. Along with thousands of others, I thank the Lord for having known David and for the seeds of biblical truth he sowed into my life. Peter Tsukahira A gentle and generous spiritual giant. Dr Daniel Ho I consider him to be one of the finest teachers of the Word of God in our generation. Pastor Yang Tuck Yoong We celebrate his Bible teaching and many OM leaders and others listened way back when they were on tapes that went around the world. The greatest thing I celebrate is that he persevered through many difficulties and challenges. ONLY heaven will tell the story. George Verwer He avoids religious and theological jargon and understates his sharp intellect and scholarship . . . he is only intent on communicating biblical truth and glorifying Christ, not himself . . . his teaching style is gentle yet uncompromising: You are welcome to challenge him, but make sure you have studied all the scripture on the subject before you do. Justice Dr Philip Pillai Whether the angels in heaven will be ready for such a man, I don’t know. I can’t imagine they would have met too many people as passionate about truth as David, nor as gifted in communicating it. Dr Ian Stackhouse

The Woo-Woo
Author: Lindsay Wong
Publisher: arsenal pulp press
ISBN: 1551527375
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
In this jaw-dropping, darkly comedic memoir, a young woman comes of age in a dysfunctional Asian family whose members blamed their woes on ghosts and demons when in fact they should have been on anti-psychotic meds. Lindsay Wong grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic grandmother and a mother who was deeply afraid of the “woo-woo”—Chinese ghosts who come to visit in times of personal turmoil. From a young age, she witnessed the woo-woo’s sinister effects; at the age of six, she found herself living in the food court of her suburban mall, which her mother saw as a safe haven because they could hide there from dead people, and on a camping trip, her mother tried to light Lindsay’s foot on fire to rid her of the woo-woo. The eccentricities take a dark turn, however, when her aunt, suffering from a psychotic breakdown, holds the city of Vancouver hostage for eight hours when she threatens to jump off a bridge. And when Lindsay herself starts to experience symptoms of the woo-woo herself, she wonders whether she will suffer the same fate as her family. On one hand a witty and touching memoir about the Asian immigrant experience, and on the other a harrowing and honest depiction of the vagaries of mental illness, The Woo-Woo is a gut-wrenching and beguiling manual for surviving family, and oneself. This publication meets the EPUB Accessibility requirements and it also meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG-AA). It is screen-reader friendly and is accessible to persons with disabilities. A Simple book with few images, which is defined with accessible structural markup. This book contains various accessibility features such as alternative text for images, table of contents, page-list, landmark, reading order and semantic structure.

Beautiful Old Dogs
Author: David Tabatsky
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250036453
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
A charming, delightfully photographed tribute to the older dog, with essays and poetry. Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way that its animals are treated." How people regard older animals is especially revealing. Beautiful Old Dogs is a heartfelt, emotional, passionate tribute to old dogs. It will inspire many readers to get involved in senior dog rescue and adoption, as it honors our senior best friends and explores their current state of care and custody in an informative appendix. This book features the exquisite photography of the late Garry Gross, a noted fashion photographer during the 60s, 70s and 80s who, after becoming a highly successful dog trainer in New York City, turned his camera lens towards dogs. Gross, along with Victoria Stilwell from Animal Planet's It's Me or the Dog, founded Dog Trainers of New York in 2002, and became devoted to highlighting the plight and value of senior dogs. "The older the better," Gross said. "Dogs with soul in their eyes."David Tabatsky has collected Gross's photographs here, and carefully curated an accompanying selection of moving, insightful, funny, and uplifting essays and short pieces by a range of writers, with contributions from Anna Quindlen, Ally Sheedy, Christopher Durang, Doris Day, Dean Koontz, Marlo Thomas, and many more.
