Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is my personal walk with Christ and the experiences that I encountered. Everyone's walk is not the same and it is not easy. The walk comes with a commitment and accountability to God. In some instances I found myself looking back at the things in my past and thought that life was better before I decided to walk with Christ. I quickly realized that is not the case. It is by the grace of God that I am still standing today, thankful that I am anchored in God and not some addiction to get me through the night-thankful that I am not walking around aimlessly but now have a purpose. I am filled with peace and joy that only God can give in the midst of a storm. It is a journey that promises to lead to an exciting and fulfilling life, but I have to keep walking.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is a very different kind of a book about cancer. It is a bold declaration of faith in the power of words to instruct and to heal and it is also a primer in the ways in which physicians often misuse language and how it can and does adversely affect their patients. The story is a bit of a romp because the author is feisty and stubborn in her belief that no word is ever the last word and that physicians may treat an illness but only God can heal. Readers will come away with a renewed faith in their right 'to choose' their own road to health. It is also the story of a woman who falls through a looking glass of medical jargon into a world where the same prescribed cure-all seems to exist for everyone and who finds that the real trip is the journey into oneself where one can learn to believe that hope itself can heal. 'Reading for the cure' is realizing that you can stop, face fear first and make informed decisions about your own treatment by searching your soul and getting information before you are forced by fear to 'act.' This book is both at turns humorous and poignant and would be a wonderful boost to anyone's immune system who either has now, or who may greatly fear disease, or its recurrence. Recommended for anyone who needs to apply hope: a powerful antidote to the disease of fear.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Embers of a Greater Fire is Robert Hanington's first published work. He has been writing years since the age of eleven. He is currently a middle school teacher as well as a college professor living in New York. At the present time he is working on a personal memoir and a Science Fiction novel titled 'Crystal Shards of Darkness'; a futuristic novel about the end of humanity. Aside from poetry he likes to spend his time playing with his young son and competing in weightlifting competitions. Robert's life long love of literature and his difficult childhood have encouraged him to tunnel his experiences into his poetry. This poetry collection is really a labor of love for me. Most of the individual works have a specific meaning from moments in my life when I witnessed the worst side of human nature. Acts of betrayal, abuse and self-loathing are evident in many of the works. While most are of the negative sides of human nature I believe they are a vitally important insight into the human spirit. For a young child (starting at age seven for me) to witness the worst of human nature and still turn out to be a productive member of society shows the strength of the human spirit. I look at all of these works as the building blocks of my personality. I would not be able to appreciate my life as much and not be able to fight for what I want without knowing exactly how lucky I am to be alive.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Four-hundred-twenty-five books are reviewed in this superb collection. A Second Look, Native Americans in Children's Books gives a thorough examination of the books as a guide for parents, teachers, librarians, and administrators interested in books for children. Anyone involved in selecting books will find this guide useful in working through the maze of available materials. Andie Peterson, one of the few women to be awarded an Eagle Feather, has provided a meaningful criteria to help in judging books. She outlines ways for objectively studying books to draw conclusions as to the suitability for the reader. She writes candidly about books filled with stereotypes, hurtful images, and damaging text and illustrations. She writes eloquent, glowing reviews of the books that 'are real treasures'. She writes: 'On a daily basis, children must face the hidden curriculum that lets them know where they fit in, whether they can achieve their goals, whether they even dare to dream. An overwhelming part of that hidden curriculum begins with books that are more narrative and illustrations; they are books that carry a message of politics and values.' Andie advises that in selecting Native American books, the non-Native child must be considered, also. She counsels that hurtful books 'set in motion attitudes of prejudice that persist for years.' She states that she has reviewed books with older copyrights because they are still on the shelves in libraries and available via the Internet. She says reading the older books helps 'to understand how adults have formed ideas about Native people.' She says: 'After all, if it's in a book in the library, people believe it to be true. It's time to disturb the peace and end the ritual of damage.' A Second Look, Native Americans in Children's BooksBy Andie Peterson.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Letter writing would seem to be a lost art today, but in the 1880's and 1890's, the young people of Greenbrier County, West Virginia found much pleasure in exchanging personal correspondence. In West Virginia, public education began only after the end of the Civil War, and these people were enthusiastically using their new writing skills.

And, of course, romance plays a prominent role in their affairs. Janie received many touching and ardent letters from her suitors. These letters are a wonderful historical artifact that will transport the reader to another time and place.…
