Book excerpt: Edgar is caught up in a nightmare he never imagined possible when his bus is stopped by the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army, in northern Uganda. Along with other passengers, most of them students, Edgar is abducted and taken on a long journey to the rebel headquarters in the bush. Things turn even worse when, instead of being forced to become a soldier, he is sold into slavery. His life is changed forever. Edgar 's friends learn of his fate and embark on a daring and difficult rescue attempt. With the help of a fellow captive, Edgar attempts a daring and dangerous escape, knowing that his re-capture would end in a fate worse than death. But will he succeed? The dramatic finale awaits you as you follow Edgar while he is being chased down by warlords whose mission is to return him to the slave owners and collect a large reward. The story gives the reader an insight into the pain and suffering that Edgar endures, and his unshakable faith and hope of eventually being free. Looking collectively at the people who are involved in Edgar 's captivity and the ones who assist him, we are reminded that people are capable of good or evil, regardless of their color or creed. Through Edgar 's story, the reader will come to understand the resilience that human beings can exhibit under extreme circumstances, the power of faith and the meaning of true friendship.
Download or read book A Way Up written by Paula Engborg and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a Seattle urban legend about something rare and unusual in the snow at 14,000 feet — not a Sasquatch but a booted, nude woman atop Mt. Rainier. This is the story behind the legend. Paula Engborg is an energetic, 41-year-old divorced mom in search of Prince Charming when one day she finds a new sport: The Climb. Paula has barely ascended a stepladder, so why the desire to climb mountains? Unlike other books about climbing, A WAY UP isn’t about the highest mountains, famous climbers, or exotic locations. Instead, it’s the experiences of the feisty author, who, in middle-aged, finds a new rush. Here, the mountains in the Pacific NW and rock walls in the Southwest come alive. You’ll feel the bitter cold, the rigours of training, and share Paula’s dream of making it to the top. Along the way this self-proclaimed “climb-aholic” defies the odds to become a member of Mountain Rescue, makes and breaks friends, and falls in love with Clint, a man with a penchant for motorcycle rallies. Paula’s story is a literal tale of hard knocks, told with warmth and unflinching detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rising from the Rubble, the reader is infused into the fateful day of January 12th 2010 and its aftermath.The story focuses on the earthquake's devastation and the story of one man's struggles and his recovery. Dr. Duval, an accomplished professional and a consummate family man achieved all of his dreams and was very pleased of all of his intellectual and material acquisitions. Dr. Duval experienced pain and loss along with his nation. This memoir is a saga that recounts the events surrounding a man's near-death experience, agony and eventual triumph over adversity.

Book excerpt: One of Oprah Daily's Best Fall Nonfiction Books of 2022 An empowering, unabashedly bold memoir by the Atlantic journalist and former ESPN SportsCenter coanchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life’s battles might be. Jemele Hill’s world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need—a calling—to break her family’s cycle of intergenerational trauma. Born in the middle of a lively routine Friday night Monopoly game to a teen mother and a heroin-addicted father, Hill constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of not only her own childhood but the inherited generational pain of her mother and grandmother. Her escape was writing. Hill’s mother was less than impressed with the brassy and bold free expression of her diary, but Hill never stopped discovering and amplifying her voice. Through hard work and a constant willingness to learn, Hill rose from newspaper reporter to columnist to new heights as the coanchor for ESPN’s revered SportsCenter. Soon, she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence, as well as a reputation as a trusted journalist who speaks her mind with truth and conviction. In Jemele Hill’s journey Uphill, she shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in an unapologetic, character-rich, and eloquent memoir.

Praise for SELENA: “Greg Barth cooked up something mean and served it up and I hope none of you choke on it because it’s mighty tasty.” —Eryk Pruitt, author of Hashtag and Dirtbags “It’s like the wildest of the men’s adventure novels of the ’70s, updated for the new millennium.

Book Synopsis Fifty Miles Wide by : Julian Sayarer
Download or read book Fifty Miles Wide written by Julian Sayarer and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BY THE AUTHOR OF INTERSTATE, WINNER OF THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR Ten years after breaking a world record for cycling around the world, award-winning travel writer Julian Sayarer returns to two wheels on the roads of Israel and occupied Palestine. His route weaves from the ancient hills of Galilee, along the blockaded walls of the Gaza Strip and down to the Bedouin villages of the Naqab Desert. He speaks with Palestinian hip-hop artists who wonder if music can change their world, Israelis hoping that kibbutz life can, and Palestinian cycling clubs determined to keep on riding despite the army checkpoints and settlers that bar their way. Pedalling through a military occupation, in the chance encounters of the roadside, a bicycle becomes a vehicle of more than just travel, and cuts through the tension to find a few simple truths, and some hope. As the miles pass, the journey becomes a meditation on making change - how people in dark times keep their spirit, and go on believing that a different world is possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the idea of “eating more and weighing less” sounds appealing to YOU, you’re at the right page – so keep reading, my friend. If the idea of “eating more and weighing less” sounds ludicrous and downright unbelievable to you – – well, you’re still at the right place – – although you’re wrong and you’ll soon find out why. If the idea of burning – nay, incinerating body fat off yourself quicker than lard off a greasy pork chop on a George Foreman grill sounds appealing – – well – – READ ON! And yes – you read the “quicker” part right. These routines will literally start to melt fat off your body as you DO the actual exercises. You’ll literally see your body “changing shape” before your very eyes as you huff, puff and pant like NEVER before. The sweat will start pouring within the space of a few seconds – – and the heart will start pounding like a runaway sledgehammer on speed. Your ENTIRE body will shake from head to toe after about 10 seconds or so of doing some of these routines at the right cadence – – and a minute – – or 2 minutes? Well, let’s just say that even advanced BODYWEIGHT trainees will fall flat on their faces the first time they attempt some of the stuff I’m outlining here. And the average gym goer – – well, he (or she) will be doing good to simply get into some of the positions mentioned here in let alone actually “go” for any period of time in terms of the exercises. And amidst all this you’ll lose weight – – OODLES of it, and FAST! Most importantly though, you'll learn about the secret keys to burning fat off quickly -- and boatloads of it at that - - within the space of a few minutes (or seconds when you first start out). Hint – it’s not long drawn out routines at the gym - - and no - it’s NOT sessions on the treadmill – – and it certainly isn’t “pounding the pavement” for hours until your bones, joints and muscles literally CREAK with exhaustion. Here are but SOME of the benefits you WILL get from following these exercises/routines - - The secret KEY(S) that will enable you to blast fat off your frame quicker than every before. And guess what, though this works the best on hills, you can certainly incorporate these keys into flat ground training as well. Overall core strength from Cain and a solid, chiseled midsection that will be the envy of onlookers. The ability to literally “see” and “feel” fat melting off your frame – -specifically, your midsection as you do these exercises! And you will know what I mean once you cast a downward eye at your midsection as your gasping for AIR after a tough set of some of this! A solid upper body workout and powerful wrists, forearms, shoulders and upper back – – all WITHOUT doing a single pushup or pull-up. Slim, yet powerful thighs and toned, strong calves with that diamond “bursting out” shape you’ve always wanted, yet never been able to get! You’ll be BUZZING with energy – – literally all day long – – after a few minutes of doing these exercises!Rid yourself of irritable bowel syndrome (the bane of modern day living it seems), a bloated “Buddha Belly” that seems to “bulge in all the wrong areas” (if you get my drift), constipation (another modern day malady) – – and a host of other digestive issues that have likely been plaguing you for a while now. You’ll be loose and limber all day long after just a few SECONDS of these exercises, and will feel like a trillion bucks as well. Again, that energy will just RADIATE from you – – onlookers will be amazed at the change in your “internal” energy levels and YOU will be left stunned at the ease and speed with which you tackle projects which previously took you forever (or never) to finish! Sample workouts that will get the blood ROARING and the fat burning incinerator in your body going FULL BLAST – – but guess what? These are but a few workouts. The SKY and your imagination are the limit here in terms of the sheer number of workouts you can put together using these movements.

Book Synopsis Pasta Punctures & Perseverence! by : Howard Ashton
Download or read book Pasta Punctures & Perseverence! written by Howard Ashton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 1227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why cycle fast when you can cycle slowly, (often very slowly, as dictated by terrain, topography and the weather). Intrepid explorer W.H.Tilman saw the merits of such an attitude when he remarked that all travel is dull exactly in proportion to its rapidity. Howard adopted Tilmans attitude as he adventured, over many years, across the world on two self-propelled wheels, that incredibly efficient machine for personal transport - a bicycle! Born affected by cerebral palsy, it was through the therapeutic effects of much massage and manipulations of his limbs that, by the age of 3, his legs had enough strength to push pedals, if not allowing him to stand and walk! And pushing pedals is what he has been doing almost daily for the past 65 years! From trundling down the garden path on a bright red Gresham Flyer trike, his competence and confidence quickly built, as did muscle strength and tone. This simple activity allowed him to overcome the physical limitations which life had imposed upon him. Since those very early days, countless bicycles have carried him tens of thousands of miles. Very short journeys, just down the road to primary school,were gradually extended over the following decades. Pedal power became Howards passport to personal freedom. Almost always solo, and camping wild, the range and magnitude of these cycling adventures inexorably expanded, from roaming both Scottish and Irish by-ways, to the high roads (but mostly) back roads of more than sixty countries across the world. Here he shares a selection of the diaries written along the way, recounting the experiences and interactions which are the, seemingly inevitable, consequence of this slowly and lowly method of travel. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to SCOPE, the UK charity supporting those affected by cerebral palsy and their families.
