Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On an idyllic and quiet December morning, the Farrington family was thrown into chaos by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Their lives would never be the same. The Farringtons, wrapped in the fabric of World War II from its very beginning, saw the conflict through the eyes of a sailor in the Pacific war, a son flying bomber missions over Europe and a young man slogging his way through five major battles in Europe from Omaha Beach to Berlin. The anguish of the home folks never ceased for the Farringtons with constant worry about the boys they had in the American forces. The rigors of dealing with rationing and worry paled in comparison to the violence their family members endured. A generation would be defined by the war. Young boys went to war and, if they came back, returned as men. Experiences in training camps, new cities they passed through, and on the field of battle changed them from the naïve youngsters they had been to the battle veterans they had become.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - It's due time men get it in their heads that they just cannot go around raping women to satisfy their sexual needs. Women must be respected even if they go around half-naked, or naked for that matter. No man has the right to touch them in any way whatsoever.Women, after having been ruthlessly subjugated for so many years, have proven themselves to be much more than sex symbols and if men continue abusing them sexually, then there must be a law to punish them for committing their atrocities. It hurts to be abused, to have something precious wrenched away from you, and then to hear the sexist violator, say you provoked it because your dress or skirt was too short or your décolletage was too open.Men have to understand that this barbaric, animalistic stance has to stop--somebody must put a stopping not only to it but also to the physical and mental bashing inflicted on women. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Bible speaks to this deep longing when it affirms that indeed God created man and woman in His image! And at the heart of that image is a God-shaped vacuum waiting to be filled by the presence of the Creator. Built into our very heartbeat is a yearning to know, to have contact with, the One who made us.This 'breath of God' infused into humankind at the creation (and into each of us at our personal creation) expands to form this vacuum that only God can fill. This vacuum is revealed to each of us through the basic needs which tug at our hearts. The longing for fulfillment of these needs drives our hunger for something more than simple satisfaction of our animal instincts. We are empty, as Saint Augustine articulated, until the vacuum is filled with the presence of God himself. The pull of these needs tugs us toward our Creator. We are 'restless' until these needs finds true fulfillment in a relationship with God. This vacuum tugs us toward God, striving as a vacuum always does, to be filled.Hobbled by darkness, so much of it of our own making, we can only grope for the light. But I can only believe that our yearnings after the light must be a pleasure for God to watch. I can see him saying as we grope, 'Come on, move toward that crack of light there. Reach for it. Put out your hand. I am waiting to pull you to me your Creator, your God, your Father.'.…
