Book Synopsis Faith, Family and Fortitude by : Thomas a Speciale II
Download or read book Faith, Family and Fortitude written by Thomas a Speciale II and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of scars. Tom didn't write this book as a telling of how awesome he is. Nor is it a book about all the awesome stuff he did. This is a story of learning from mistakes, overcoming them and making better decisions. It's a story of a man's faith and family whom he credits with all his achievements. Unlike other stories, Tom pulls out all his skeletons. This is not the story of a man who made all the right choices and never made a mistake. This is a story about a real person. Faith, Family and Fortitude is a story of a man's journey across the American landscape from modest beginnings, to jail, to Ground Zero in New York, through relationship pitfalls, and across the mountains of Afghanistan to finally come to rest in the United States intelligence community and ultimately as a candidate for United States Senate running for office against one of the richest most powerful Senators ever to sit in office. Faith, Family and Fortitude is a story of not giving up on yourself and every day taking one small step forward or as his father says, "Working one square foot at a time," to achieve your dreams. Working one square foot at a time Tom's goal is to reclaim the American Dream for our children.
Book Synopsis Strength of a Champion by : O.J. Brigance
Download or read book Strength of a Champion written by O.J. Brigance and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Baltimore Ravens made their improbable march to victory in Super Bowl XLVII, they turned to their senior advisor of player development, O.J. Brigance, for inspiration each and every Sunday. Following a stellar twelve-year career as a linebacker, including a Super Bowl win with Baltimore in 2000, O.J.Juice Brigance joined the Ravens front office. But in 2007, O.J. was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and told he had only three to five years to live. As a player, he'd battled hundreds of injuries and setbacks. None of them prepared him to face ALS. With faith and determination in his heart and his wife, Chanda, praying by his side, O.J. fought back against the debilitating disease, even as ALS robbed him of the ability to walk and speak. He kept working, smiling, and touching his players lives all the way through their remarkable Super Bowl run more than five years after his diagnosis. Now, O.J. shares his incredible story, offering lessons in resilience and reflecting on the championship team that inspired him in turn. Along with his own journey, O.J. recounts the struggles and successes of Ravens players, including Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco, and Torrey Smith, as well as the strength of head coach John Harbaugh. Having watched their season from the best seat in the house, O.J. highlights their perseverance, confidence, and leadership, and the best that sports can bring out in people. Full of profound revelations and never-before-told anecdotes, Strength of a Champion is a celebration of the human spirit from a man who left everything on the field. O.J. Brigance never asked to be a hero. That's what makes his story so courageous.
Book Synopsis My Beloved Journey by : Dr Margaret Matson Norris
Download or read book My Beloved Journey written by Dr Margaret Matson Norris and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age thirty-seven, Margaret's world crashed, and a seed of resentment drew her into an abyss of darkness and chaos. A harsh, cruel reality blindsided her. Her husband of twelve years had given his heart to another -- a family acquaintance. Riddled with pain and anger, Margaret wrestled with marital disillusionment and waning self-confidence to determine how to reckon with both. MY BELOVED JOURNEY: Faith, Family, Fortitude will take you through the valley of Margaret's sojourn. Regardless of the path, her most urgent concern was for her three sons, Marcus, Brandon, and Jonathan, ages eight, nine, and ten. If she were to become a single parent, how could she raise them to become men of integrity in the face of their father's indiscretion? Additionally, the image and plight of Black men during the 1980's were under attack due to the events of that era--the era that Nixon had declared the war on drugs. Crack cocaine had spread throughout major cities of America in epidemic proportions, resulting in the incarceration and/or deaths of Black males before the age of 25. Myths countering a woman's ability to raise boys to become men were pervasive. Media reports supported and supplanted the idea that boys being raised by a single mother had problems adapting to societal norms. Margaret doubted that she could fulfill a mission that was counter to her heart's desire of being a wife and mother. She loved her husband and wanted the best outcome for her sons. She also knew that she was haunted by decades of unreconciled trauma from situations with men who had tried to rape and sexually exploit her. Would her sons pay the price for the sins of the men who had hurt her? Cloaked in rage and depression, Margaret thought about the unfairness of it all, and amid excruciating pain, considered the unfathomable: suicide. How did she ascend from resentment to reconciliation? MY BELOVED JOURNEY: Faith, Family, Fortitude illustrates how she prevailed. It is a must-read for anyone who has past or present struggles with life's challenges. This memoir can become your sojourn companion toward your destiny of all things possible: HOPE.

Book Synopsis A Life Untold by : Dr. Lamar D. Lee Jr.
Download or read book A Life Untold written by Dr. Lamar D. Lee Jr. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compelling reality of the dwindling horizon line before me only serves to remind me of the blessed road traveled from behind. When I think of those seemingly unrelated, though reoccurring, reminders of God's providential movement in my life, I'm deeply broken by God's long-suffering and His steadfast love toward me. From the worn linoleum floor coverings beneath that dimly-lit kitchen table in the front room to the marvelously clad halls of Pasvar Pavilion at the University of Pittsburgh, I can look back and see the footprints of the Nazarene as He's carried me now for more than seventy-two years. He has secured me in the midst of life's challenges, cradling me in the stability of a loving, Christ-centered family, establishing me in the communal confines of a time when the whole village was, in fact, raising children, and calling me as a neophyte in ordained ministry while having stabilized my marriage and family to survive its rigors.
Download or read book Soul Surfer written by Bethany Hamilton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-25 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the tremendous passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing - not even the loss of her arm in a horrific shark attack - could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii Bethany responded to the shark's stealth with a calmness beyond belief. Pushing pain and panic aside, she immediately thought: 'Get to the beach...' Rushed to the hospital, where her father, Ted Hamilton, was about to undergo knee surgery, Bethany found herself taking his spot in the operating theatre. When the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was 'When can I surf again?' it became clear that her unfaltering spirit and determination were part of a greater story - a tale of courage and faith that this modest and soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world.
Book Synopsis Faith of My Fathers by : John McCain
Download or read book Faith of My Fathers written by John McCain and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Senator John McCain’s deeply moving memoir is the story of three generations of warriors and the ways that sons are shaped and enriched by their fathers. John McCain’s grandfather, a four-star admiral and one of the navy’s greatest commanders, led the strongest aircraft carrier force of the Third Fleet during World War II. McCain’s father, also a four-star admiral, served as commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific during the Vietnam War. It was in Vietnam that John McCain III faced the most difficult challenge of his life. A naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967. Recognized as the son of a top commander, McCain was tortured and imprisoned for five and a half years. Despite this, he refused Vietnamese offers of an early release. What McCain learned from his grandfather and father enabled him to survive those hard years. A testament to the power of human endurance, Faith of My Fathers is the story of three men who fought for their country with courage and emerged with their honor intact. Praise for Faith of My Fathers “A thoughtful first-person take on survival, both physical and psychological . . . hard to top and impossible to read without being moved.”—USA Today “A candid, moving, and entertaining memoir . . . impressive and inspiring, the story of a man touched and molded by fire who loved and served his country in a time of great trouble, suffering, and challenge.”—Kirkus Reviews “A serious, utterly gripping account of faith, fathers, and the military.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Faith of My Fathers may also appeal to those who flocked to Saving Private Ryan and kept Brokaw's The Greatest Generation near the top of the bestseller lists.”—Library Journal “Faith of My Fathers is the powerful story of a war hero. In it we learn much of what matters most. As prisoner (and later Senator) McCain instructs us: Glory is not an end in itself, but rather a reward for valor and faith. And the greatest freedom and human fulfillment comes from engaging in a noble enterprise larger than oneself. Faith of My Fathers teaches deep truths that are valid in any age but that warrant special attention in our own.”—William J. Bennett

Book Synopsis Strength of Heart by : C. I. M. Carver
Download or read book Strength of Heart written by C. I. M. Carver and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you own your life? It's an unusual question, but how you answer it is the primary determinant of your life's happiness and fulfillment.When you consciously choose to own your life, you become free--free from feeling controlled, free from the paralyzing fear of the unknown, free to chart your own course, free to feel peace and happiness, and free to hope and dream again. When you own your life, you go from challenge to challenge with a smile on your face; not because you enjoy tough times, but because you know you can do hard things and reap the benefits that come from pushing through them.Sounds good, right?That's because it is. It's a fundamental principle that supports success in anything worth accomplishing. But, living this way isn't easy for a lot of people. It requires persistent work and conscious discipline. It is a great prize that is won through purposeful, consistent effort--which is why most people don't do it. Why is that? Why would someone deny themselves such a valuable prize?Unfortunately, my experience has been that most people have been unintentionally taught and conditioned to think 'dependently.' Whether they have previously been rewarded for people-pleasing behavior, or, they have been taught to believe that dreaming big, taking risks, and standing out is irresponsible, most people are relentlessly coached through their lives to play small. These life experiences and influences shape the belief that there is security in embracing mediocrity, and in feeling a sense of safety and assuredness in the crowd.And the crowd does feel safe; it feels comfortable. But it only feels that way because it never requires you to grow. Instead, it encourages you to give up ownership of your life and just let it happen to you--instead of you happening to life. And living that way seems easier, but it's a well-traveled path to a life unlived, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied.Life's journey isn't about waiting for someone else to tell you what to do, it's about you asking yourself: "What do I want to do? Who do I want to become?" and, "How can I be the best I can be?" Then, it's about aligning your choices and actions accordingly--especially when obstacles and challenges try to push you in a different direction.That is what this book is about; how to take ownership of your life as you work your way through it by understanding five simple principles. I've seen the application of these principles change people and how they live almost overnight. They're empowering and ennobling. They're easily understood and mastered over time with each step forward bringing greater light and satisfaction into your life.I'll explain these five principles as I share a personal journey of self-discovery that happened as I navigated the challenge of finding out my children had special needs. As cliche as it sounds, my most sincere wish is that you will come away from reading this book with greater clarity for yourself, and with the courage to do whatever it takes to live on your own terms--to own your life.Cim (author)
