Book Synopsis Faces of Freedom by : Cynthia Mercati
Download or read book Faces of Freedom written by Cynthia Mercati and published by Dramatic Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Faces of Freedom is a vivid theatrical experience, using both an ensemble and monologues, to tell the true stories of the young immigrants of today, and yesterday. Moving fluidly from past to present and back again, the play interweaves Maria's journey to America in 1907, with Tron's escape from death and imprisonment as a Vietnamese boat person in 1978. Against this backdrop, we meet the newest imigrants: Halima, whose family fled the Taliban, Vida, who is trying to find the courage to cross the first city street she has ever seen. We get to know Juana, whose fast-food counter is her passport to a better world, and Carlos, whose skill with a soccer ball is his entry into a new school. Elena and Luis, a sister and brother from Mexico, are each inventing their own ways to cope with a suddenly unfamiliar life, while Semir, a young Bosnian boy, can only find peace of mind at Dunkin' Donuts. In seeing their stories, we see reflected our family's story of coming to America, and we learn--perhaps for the first time--the story of our newest neighbors, all of different cultures, facing risks and challenges, yet all of us united in our search for freedom. All of us Americans."--

Download or read book Faces of Courage written by Mark Tuschman and published by Val de Grace. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Tuschman is a man on a quest. For the past decade, he has journeyed across much of the developing world documenting the travails and triumphs of women living in very difficult circumstances. On a daily basis, millions of these women face crippling poverty, sexual violence, serious health problems for themselves and their children, and often a total denial of even their most basic human rights. In this extraordinary photo expose, Tuschman documents it all, along with the efforts by many international organizations, aid groups, and doctors and nurses to help these women and girls cope, heal, stand up for themselves and become all they can be. This is reality in the raw, but as Tuschman shows us, these women have an almost unbelievable strength and resilience, and theirs are faces of incomparable dignity and courage. The book comes with endorsements from major figures in the world of women's health and human rights.

Book Synopsis Portraits of Courage by : George W. Bush
Download or read book Portraits of Courage written by George W. Bush and published by Crown. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A vibrant collection of oil paintings and stories by President George W. Bush honoring the sacrifice and courage of America’s military veterans. With Forewords by former First Lady Laura Bush and General Peter Pace, 16th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Growing out of President Bush’s own outreach and the ongoing work of the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative, Portraits of Courage brings together sixty-six full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our nation with honor since 9/11—and whom he has come to know personally. Our men and women in uniform have faced down enemies, liberated millions, and in doing so showed the true compassion of our nation. Often, they return home with injuries—both visible and invisible—that intensify the challenges of transitioning into civilian life. In addition to these burdens, research shows a civilian-military divide. Seventy-one percent of Americans say they have little understanding of the issues facing veterans, and veterans agree: eighty-four percent say that the public has "little awareness" of the issues facing them and their families. Each painting in this meticulously produced hardcover volume is accompanied by the inspiring story of the veteran depicted, written by the President. Readers can see the faces of those who answered the nation’s call and learn from their bravery on the battlefield, their journeys to recovery, and the continued leadership and contributions they are making as civilians. It is President Bush’s desire that these stories of courage and resilience will honor our men and women in uniform, highlight their family and caregivers who bear the burden of their sacrifice, and help Americans understand how we can support our veterans and empower them to succeed. President Bush will donate his net author proceeds from PORTRAITS OF COURAGE to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, a non-profit organization whose Military Service Initiative works to ensure that post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life with a focus on gaining meaningful employment and overcoming the invisible wounds of war.

Palmerquickens our instinct to seek the common good and gives us thetools to do it.

In the same compelling, inspiring prose that has made him abestselling author, Palmer explores five "habits of the heart" thatcan help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them inourselves and each other: An understanding that we are all in this together An appreciation of the value of "otherness" An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways A sense of personal voice and agency A capacity to create community Healing the Heart of Democracy is an eloquent andempowering call for "We the People" to reclaim ourdemocracy.

Book excerpt: Understand, confront, and walk in freedom from fear with renowned Bible teacher and New York Times bestselling author, Joyce Meyer. Fear will never entirely disappear from your life, but you can confront and overcome it! Courage isn't the absence of fear; it is moving forward in the presence of fear. Courageous people do what they believe in their hearts they should do, no matter how they feel or what doubts fill their minds. In DO IT AFRAID, Joyce Meyer explains that fear is everywhere and affects everyone. It rules many people, but it doesn't have to be that way. The first portion of this book will help you understand fear and recognize how it works in your life, and the second will help you confront fear. In the third section, you will learn about mindsets that will position you for freedom from some of the most common fears people face. Fear is the devil's favorite tool in the toolbox of schemes he uses to destroy God's good plan for you. He uses it to hold you back and prevent progress in every area of your life. That is why you must take ownership of your problems and open your heart to God. He will help bring light into darkness. If you can understand fear and how it operates, you can be free from it!
