Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As if facing the ordinary challenges of adolescence is not enough, twelve-year-old Ton Richford has some other challenges. Among those challenges is that he inputs and outputs information as rhymes. Rhyming in compositions does not meet the school guidelines. Ton feels that it is not necessary to address his concerns as personal problems. He prefers to address them as universal concerns since there may be other kids in the schools with similar problems. Ton feels that being different should not be a barrier to growth and fulfillment. It takes spunk to face the school board. It takes even more spunk to face the challenges of a kidnapping. Is Ton's self-confidence and spunkiness enough to help him survive the escapades that he, partly, becomes responsible for initiating? The question is "What does it take?" What does it take to be heard, to hear, to survive, to stay alive, to grow, to know...? What does it take? What does it take for a young adolescent to begin fulfilling his dreams?

Stenwold and his followers have only a short time to gather what allies they can before the Wasp armies march again, conquering everything in their path.

Book Synopsis Poverty and the Poor in the World's Religious Traditions by : William H. Brackney
Download or read book Poverty and the Poor in the World's Religious Traditions written by William H. Brackney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed book is a resource for students, practitioners, and leaders interested in how the major world religions have understood poverty and responded to the poor. Poverty is a universal phenomenon across history, regardless of country or culture. Today, the demographics of the poor are on the rise globally: it is a critical issue. Religious traditions are another universal aspect of human societies, and nearly all religions include directives on how to respond to the poor and systemic poverty. How do the various religious traditions conceptualize poverty, and what do they view as the proper response to the poor? Poverty and the Poor in the World's Religious Traditions: Religious Responses to the Problem of Poverty brings together specialists on the religions of the world and their diverse viewpoints to identify how different religious traditions interact with poverty and being poor. It also contains excerpts of religious texts that readers can use as primary documents to illustrate themes such as identifying the poor, religious reasons for being poor, and responses (like charity and development) to the existence of poverty. This book serves as a powerful resource for students of subjects like international development, missiology, comparative religion, theology, social ethics, economics, and organizational leadership as well as for any socially concerned clergy of various faiths.
Book Synopsis Conversations with John Gardner by : John Gardner
Download or read book Conversations with John Gardner written by John Gardner and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 1990 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection, selected from more than 140 interviews Gardner granted, presents a wealth of information on the life and art of one of America's foremost novelists. These interviews show him as a novelist, a charismatic teacher of creative writing, and a widely published scholar who has vast knowledge and who generated much literary information in his lectures and interviews. After the publication of such popular and critical successes as Grendel (1971) and The Sunlight Dialogues (1972), this philosophical writer with an enviable talent for storytelling was regarded as ""a major contemporary writer."" After Gardner had demonstrated that he was one of America's most prolific, versatile, and imaginative authors, he became one of its most controversial when he attacked the literary establishment in his book On Moral Fiction and in his interviews. These candid conversations reveal a man of contrasts and contradictions, a writer who, as one of his interviewers remarks, ""brought to everything he did a passion that at times bordered on madness.

The Fleet is humanitys last chance: a multi-world, multi-national task force assembled to hold the line against the aliens overwhelming technology and firepower. Enter Harrison Barlow, who like so many young men of wars past, simply wants to serve his people and partake of the grand adventure of military life. Only, Harrison is not a hot pilot, nor a crack shot with a rifle. What good is a Chaplains Assistant in the interstellar battles which will decide the fate of all? More than he thinks. Because while the mantis insectoids are determined to eliminate the human threat to mantis supremacy, they remember the errors of their past. Is there the slightest chance that humans might have value? Especially since humans seem to have the one thing the mantes explicitly do not: an innate ability to believe in what cannot be proven nor seen God. Captured and stranded behind enemy lines, Barlow must come to grips with the fact that he is not only bargaining for his own life, but the lives of everyone he knows and loves. And so he embarks upon an improbable gambit, determined to alter the course of the entire war. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
