Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 195 Centre Street: It's summertime, and the kitchen windows are open and a warm, gentle breeze is blowing the spotless white lace curtains into the room. P-51 Mustangs: In my opinion, it's the most perfect airplane ever to take to the skies. And, Me: I never 'wanted to be a writer'. I wanted to be a pilot, and fly P-51 Mustangs like Don Gentile, and Ratsy Preddy. So, I took a flying lesson, and found I really didn't like flying. My Life-Long Dream of Being a Pilot shattered, the next day I wrote my first Award-Winning newspaper column, and, it was published. Yeah, right. I began writing this book in 2015, putting together some ruminations and reflections. I slowly added to it over the years: new things I wrote, old things I discovered I had written, some things that other people wrote that made me laugh out loud, or, knocked my socks off.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Just as reading begins for most of us with Nursery Rhymes, so writing for many of us begins with poetry. Maybe journaling our thoughts. Or writing bits of it in love letters. Composing funny limericks. Sappy valentines. Facebook memes. That was certainly the case for pastor and author, Stan Cosby. Though Pastor Cosby has written a great deal of other kinds of literature-history, fiction, short stories, theological treatise, essay-there will always be a love in his heart for poetry, for in his words 'it was the music of the bard that first cast the spell of language upon me.' A LIFE'S WORTH is a collection of Cosby's poems written over a 55-year period of life, from adolescence to senior adulthood. All types of poetry are represented, on all kinds of subjects. Poems about Christ, his birth, his life, his death and resurrection. Poems about following Christ. Poems about Africa and Ireland. Poems about the Old West, Cowboys and Indians.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - After two fatal airplane accidents, investigators find that a flight control system change made by the plane's manufacturer and concealed from the Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), caused both accidents.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Life is full of untold stories. A perfect life is suddenly thrown into a ditch and the question that ensued is: 'How did we get here' In Talitha Cumi: Near death, Pastor King and First Lady Cecilia Tetteh recounts how tares were sown in their beautiful lives, leading to the near death of Cecilia and how God gave her a chance to life.
