Drawn from real life, Shattered Dreams at Rainbow's End is the story of a World War II hero, Donald, a foot soldier, who returns from combat, meets the Depression-born Mary, and marries her. They have two children, baby boomers Danny and Deborah, and then a third child, Charles, part of Gen X. Patriarch Donald's dream of having the family all sitting around the fire at Christmas time in the Rainbow's End farmhouse reflected "family values." He died before seeing his dream fulfilled. None of the children, despite apparent successes, end up meeting the parents' expectations. Mary's second husband's brief five-year presence and leadership helped get the family back on the track of family values. Her third husband could do little to promote family values. Despite his affection for Mary, his luxurious lifestyle and personal wealth mattered more than family values. The tragedy of Shattered Dreams is not just the multifaceted emotional drama surrounding Mary's three husbands but the breaking of at least one rule in the patriarch's moral code by each of his children.Informative: psychologically, legally, historically…shows passion and a great will to overcome. - Coach B., English teacher and hall of Fame wrestling coach Very interesting story with spiritual implications like the Bible verse in Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" - Hyrine O.

"From a deep insight of God's creation, and Angelic intervention, to Extraterrestrials visitations to our planet, Augustus Benedignus gives a lot of food for thought."

Considering that the title of the nonfiction, Letters to Lauren: Journal of a Mental Patient is oxymoronic, (no writings can be both letters and journal), the truth of it can only be applicable to one in some form of mental distress. In credit to a civilized society, there's no hard and fast criterion that constitutes insanity, but in this instance, a court with all the facts, committed Arthur L to a mental institution for veterans, and for that they have my applause.Also, in truth, before being committed, Arthur L was walking, talking and socializing with those in his orbit much like the mentally disturb moves around in yours- only he proved less successful at deception, and in that, is the game of it.In other words, Arthur L's a functional individual that misfires with the regularity of one that you'd naturally think to be crazy- that is if you're around him enough see or notice the frequency that he's out of your comfort zone. Then there's the real problem: he prefers himself just the way that he is- the way that put him in a mental institution.We've all heard "there's reason in madness," and step by step, "according to Arthur L," via self- evaluations, he explains the reasons in his madness, and too often, after the explanation, the insanity's even more apparent.Unbeknownst to most, anger's a manifestation of pain, and Arthur L has a lot of anger, consequently, a lot of pain. He's angry that the courts feels he needs restructuring and holds him hostage in a mental institution; he's angry that they're doing it because they think it's the only way that he can be helped; he's angry because he believes they're right, and he's angry that he couldn't get himself right before it became public knowledge that he wasn't. Struggling through nightmares and tears, his fool stances and wild pivots; his irrational convictions and farfetched philosophies; his heinous crimes and unwitting naiveté, convinces Arthur L of the s

Behind the success story of being adopted into a family I had no idea about, being fostered by a white woman in another world, a white man's culture, struggling to be a good wife, mother and becoming a successful career woman lies the pain, sorrow, all the agony, hurt and struggle in life to be oneself, to be who you want to be. To maintain your identity and integrity despite all the shame, situations and circumstances Veronica, the Author made it through. Thus, life is meant to be tough, but God had created you to manage it, one's life more effectively and live the kind of life you want to live, to be who and what you want to be in life. Nobody will change that as the power is in your own hands. And, always remembering that there is an Almighty God who created you and knew you. Therefore, you should always seek God first no matter what to know His will and purpose upon your life. As Jeremiah 1:5 says God formed you, knew you, anointed you and sanctified you to be His prophet like He said to His prophet Jeremiah. This is the true meaning of life when you know God's true will and purpose upon your own individual life. Then, love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22) will be restored upon your life. These are the gifts from God that money cannot buy. Peace be with you and glory be to God.

No amount of background can prepare a person to write a book on "The Power of God". This subject requires more than acquired knowledge. I have approached it from the starting point that the Scriptures as we have them are true and without error: (Mark 12:24) And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? That no outside source, other than the Scriptures, is needed to substantiate this truth. (John 5:39) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 10:35) If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; I therefore submit to you the reader that the Old and New Testaments bring us the revelation of God in Christ Jesus. (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I give no apologies for believing the Scriptures to be divinely inspired and without error.

As memories of the Global Financial Crisis begin to fade, David Rowe's book is a timely reminder of the need to expand risk management beyond purely technical analysis to broader consideration of social, organizational, political and technological issues. -Alan Greenspan, Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board This book is a broad ranging critique of risk management that should be required reading for all Chief Risk Officers and their staff. Whether they are new to their role or seasoned professionals tested by the unexpected, risk managers will gain valuable insights into the science and practice of their chosen field. David Rowe has selected topics drawn from his years in the trenches where he applied his technical expertise and common sense to close potentially dangerous gaps in risk management analytics, assumptions and systems. Every chapter offers real world examples and insights into both the value and the limitations of common risk measures and processes and how some of these contributed to the Global Financial Crisis. The book impresses upon readers the need to broaden their perspective based on experience, healthy skepticism and common sense. -David Martens, Former CRO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco There are many highly technical books that deal with the details of statistical and other analytical tools used in economic and financial analysis. This book is not an attempt to add to that vast body of material. Rather, it encourages readers to step back from the swirling mass of details that often characterize such analysis and ask a more basic question, namely, "What are the assumptions and mental frameworks they should bring to such work, especially to the frustratingly amorphous subject of risk measurement and management?"

Sailing on the winds of a dream. "People are much more fun than museums." That's really not to commit any blasphemy against the museums of this earth, great as they are. But it sums up in one short sentence just why a former Medinan, experienced civil engineer, father of ten daughters, would slice two years out of the center of his life and - as they say - "chuck it all" for the wanderlust life of a seafaring traveler. Why he would become head of a six-person family group making its way across the Atlantic, wandering the heaths and hedges of England, entering the Dutch canal system, lazily wandering through the French wine country to the Mediterranean, crossing to Malta for an end-of-year docking. J. Thomas Forrestel, native of Akron, NY, long-time resident of Shelby Center, turned this corner in life with a firm decision: "I knew if I was ever going to do it, it would have to be now." At 49, Forrestel just felt that way - and that was the way it was going to be. There are hardly any among the great legion of working people who spend eight hours a day at desk or machine, who have not silently wished, in a "Walter Mitty" moment, for some refreshment in their routine - a total change. Be a beach bum? Join the pro golf tour? Shoot the Colorado rapids? Live by a cool lake in northern Canada in a spot far from the real world? This odyssey of Mr. Forrestel and half his immediate family was really not the product of some magic wand which suddenly transported him from reality to the open sea. Far from it. It began when he was a boy of less than a half dozen years. "I spent the first 15 summers of my life on lakes," Forrestel told a Journal-Register interviewer. "My father taught us to sail as little kids with a catboat on Loon Lake (near Hornell). " For Tom Forrestel the boating interest was later transferred to ownership of two 16-foot day sailing boats of the snipe class. In 1963, he and his shipmate wife, Jo Payjack Forrestel, got their

Faith, focus and follow through. What does this mean, and how can we use these three simple steps in moment by moment interactions. My prayer is that this book will make a fundamental difference in the way our black community is perceived. With everything we have going on today, how do we get back to being as one? When you look at the civil rights movement in the 1950's and 60's and how we as a people struggled for equal rights for African Americans in this country, one could say we made changes because we had a great leader in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. but it was the church, Dr. King's faith in God and guidance as a leader. As a community of believers, we as a people all had faith. We were committed to the movement to affect change, through our faith in God we followed-through. We prayed as a people, we organized, we gave each other rides to work during the bus boycotts, we held each other up. We helped each other get jobs; we didn't allow someone else's child to act up or to not respect an adult or an elder. We had respect for our pastors and leaders. We didn't know more than they did! It was a time when it wasn't all about me and what can "I have or get," or "he or she" has more than I do. We were all about what can I do to serve others so that I can get my Crowns in Heaven? We need to go back to the past, in essence we need to go blackwards to take back our communities and change our brand.

There is one constant that reaches across relationships, religion, race, politics, the news, business, world affairs, and medicine-and this common thread is called a threat. A threat can strike fear, motivate, inspire change, crush, and rally people to do and act in ways that are not always predictable. Animals respond to threats physically, through noises, chemical releases, and physical changes in the body, driving a behavioral change in the animal. People who feel threatened are often driven toward action. So...are threats good or bad? Are they needed to drive certain behaviors? Are we stagnant or complacent without threats? Are we lawless without threats? Do we plan our lives around the promises of the future or around threats toward the future? Are our future and hopes dashed and drowned out by uncertainty and anxiety? One has to wonder if threats are essential to sustaining continual progress by mankind. Learn how the various sectors of society are affected by threats in this unique and thought-provoking study.

In his mid fifties, Helmut Schroeder was diagnosed with Behçet's Disease [BD], a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blood vessel inflammation throughout the body. This disease is painfully disabling and potentially fatal. Behçet's Disease is not contagious and is classified as a Chronic Disease, which is a condition lasting three months or longer, by the definition of the U.S. National Center of Health Statistics. Schroeder's physicians told him there is no cure for this disease and recommended managing it with drugs as the only option available. So he went on those drug treatments for a period of time and had severe allergic reactions from them. Not only did his health not improve - it actually worsened, progressively. Yet, his physicians offered no other treatment options. The other alternative was a diet change; but, his physicians did not support that idea. At that point, he realized that he had to find his own answers for his health issues. He eased out of the drug treatments and stopped eating the Standard American Diet [SAD]. He began his new diet of mainly white rice with selective plant-based whole foods. This kind of diet is recommended by a group of physicians who practice Lifestyle Medicine. With his positive attitude, he researched and found out about most of the foods that aggravate his BD. Almost thirty years later, he is still in good health, maintains an active lifestyle, and remains nearly BD free. This is his story. In this book, he describes the trials and errors he encountered. He also describes how he learned to avoid most of the allergy-causing foods that aggravate his BD, and how he restored his health. With his life-affirming attitude, he shows you how to become healthier and more positive, as well as challenge yourself to change.
