Book excerpt: Women and men are equally capable as leaders, but women have been trained to be nice. Being nice can take us only so far then it trips us up. To be effective, we need to reach inside ourselves and realize that just as mothers would walk in front of a bus to save their child, so we each can find a similar passion and commitment that pushes us onward removing fear and doubt so we simply do what we know to be right.Do you have to be born a leader? Have a title? Be a man? A certain age? The answer is: no. Each of us has leadership potential within and when we do our inner work, we can be the leader of our family, company, or community.Failure and mistakes are not generally accepted as the road to success, but they are often our most powerful tools to growth. Read how others, including Abraham Lincoln, used failed attempts to spur them on.Read stories of leaders and find out their secrets. Learn to recognize mercenaries and real leaders, and decide which you want to be.

The list is endless."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique and captivating story about the abduction of a royal prince of Africa who finds himself enslaved by men whose lust for wealth have caused them to deny his humanity and indeed his royalty, and pack him like cargo, and haul him thousands of miles across the Atlantic. This poetically-woven masterpiece brings to the forefront not only the story of slavery but also the little-known reality of the enslaving of the Irish and Scottish on the sugar plantations of Barbados. What makes this story unique is the unexpected twist and explosion into the secret of how freedom cannot be taken from one who is truly free. This is a story that will make you look differently at every person you meet and re-examine your own belief system. Once you read this poem . . . something inside you will change forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without clear direction, without understanding of one's past, without heroes (including women) and positive role models, without family, without connections to neighbors and a viable community, without social tranquility or firm rootedness, without at least one parent who can be at home to parent, without community control, power, and influence, without a reference group with whom to identify, without stability of one's personal world, without clearly designated leaders, without hope and a clear vision of life's expectancies and survival prospects, without a spiritual and moral centeredness, there is chaos. Where there is chaos and lack of vision, the people perish. Without economic opportunity and outlets to release despair and anger, without a feeling of safety and security, without an unlimited future, without controls on the use of drugs, violence (including gun violence), and sexual promiscuity, without responsibility and consequences for inappropriate behavior, without responsibility as well as rights, without commonly agreed upon expectations for structure and discipline, without religious, family, and personal values to help connect people, without concern for the collective as well as the individual, without nurture, without a circle of support from a responsible, caring parent, coach, teacher, grandparent, minister, neighbor, or community member, without someone who will take the time to reach out to make one feel special and valued, the children suffer and the people are dysfunctional. Where there is dysfunction, the people are a threat to themselves and the institution of family and society. How do you promote ways to shape success out of circumstances, so as, to empower future generations to come? The expression of music, especially in African American spiritual and gospel tradition provides insight into how trials, threats, and traditions have sustained us over the generations. Whether we are talking about our personal storms, or our family, societal, or global threats, the first stanza of an old gospel hymn, written fifty years ago by Ruth Caye Jones, entitled, "In Times Like These" rings true, inspires, and calls out to each generation still today: "In times like these, we need a Savior, We need an anchor; In times like these We need a friend; Be very sure, be very sure, Your anchor holds and grips a Solid Rock."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a legal career spanning 26 years, advocate Glynnis Breytenbach earned a reputation as one of the country’s most formidable state prosecutors, her infamous stare piercing the defences of many. Now a member of parliament and the Democratic Alliance’s shadow minister for justice, Glynnis finally shares how her life in and out of court shaped her into the outspoken, sometimes hard-headed, always principled woman she is, and the public figure she never wanted to be. In Rule of Law, Glynnis provides personal commentary on the evolution and importance of an independent judiciary in South Africa, and explains why the rule of law is critical to the foundation and the future of the country. Her account offers fascinating insights, a critical analysis of some of South Africa’s recent legal and political cliffhangers, and a suggestion as to how the law can help us find a way forward as a country.

In this modern retelling of a classic fairy tale, Jacqueline shows everyone that there's nothing to be afraid of after all. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with worry-busting strategies and calming tools. From the Note to Parents and Caregivers So how can we manage worries? Did you notice we used the word “manage”? That’s because humans are wired to experience worry, so aiming for zero just isn’t realistic. But keeping worry to a level where it doesn’t get in the way of everyday life is very realistic. Here are some strategies to try. Keep as many of them as possible in your worry busting backpack so you’ll be ready to help your child when worries arise! Explain that everyone worries. Examine body cues. Calm physical sensations. Shift attention. Work on problem solving. Think differently. Face fears. Avoid giving excessive reassurance. Reduce other stresses. Take care of yourself. Seek support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas the Terrible Tomcat has a tough life and a bad reputation. Small animals fear him and bigger ones beat him up and blinded his one eye. He lives near a garbage can behind Sully’s Sammies, a small eatery. Whenever Sully sees Thomas, he brings out tasty leftover treats from his restaurant. Sully even names Thomas “the Terrible Tomcat” in the hopes that the bigger cats will leave him alone. Sadly, Thomas is friendless and lonely. He wants a friend to have fun with, but that’s hard to do since he has to act as fierce as he can so other cats will stop picking on him. One day a discouraged Thomas leaves his home and heads far into the forest to be alone. He rests behind a log when along comes Fiona, a friendly and feisty fox who keeps nudging Thomas. Fiona wants to play, and this enthusiastic fox unexpectedly befriends the lonely tomcat. She eventually introduces Thomas to other forest friends who aren’t deterred by outward appearances like the cats back by Sully’s. Thomas has spent so much of his life being picked on, laughed at, and judged solely because of the way he looks, so this is a pleasant surprise. However, when danger strikes, will newly found friendships hold tight?

As I further broke down in a cold sweat, tears uncontrollably rolled down my face. All I knew was pain. It didn’t stop coming; it never did anyway. Grappling with the suffocating and tormenting screams deep inside was exhausting enough. I didn’t need any more. I closed my eyes. I could no longer see a future. I saw the end. That was when I knew what Fear really was. “ For the past 18 years of her life, Emelyne had been facing multiple horrific medical diagnoses that kept surging at her one after another, nonstop. Fear, has weighed her treacherous life journey down even more over the years, forcing her to put up countless bone-crushing fights against it. As she embarks on a new journey to becoming Fearless, she continues to be struck with numerous unforgiving tragedies and tribulations that unabatingly haul her deeper into the abyss of misery, sorrow and despondency. The Journey To Becoming Fearless: A Story of Hope, Courage & Strength not only unveils to us her bravery and fortitude as she steps foot into this new journey, but also her gradual discovery of the genuine meaning of acceptance, embracement and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the development of the King Arthur story in the late Middle Ages, this book explores Arthur's depiction as a wilderness figure, the descendant of the northern Romano-British hunter/warrior god. The earliest Arthur was a warrior but in the 11th century Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen, he is less a warrior and more a leader of a band of rogue heroes. The story of Arthur was popularized by Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his Latin History of the Kings of Britain, and was translated into Middle English in Layamon's Brut and the later alliterative Alliterative Morte Arthure. Both owed much to the epic poem "Beowulf," which draws on the Anglo-Saxon fascination with the wilderness. The most famous Arthurian tale is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in which the wilderness and themes from Beowulf play a leading role. Three Arthurian tales set in Inglewood Forest place Arthur and Gawain in a wilderness setting, and link Arthur to medieval Robin Hood tales.

This book was released on 2008-11-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic story that inspired the film starring Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander “A medieval romance…but also an outlandish ghost story, a gripping morality tale and a weird thriller.… I couldn’t put down Simon Armitage’s compulsively readable...energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version.” — Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review One of the founding stories of English literature, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight narrates the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse who rudely interrupts Camelot’s Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and decapitates the intruder with his own axe. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. The following Yuletide, Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dreamlike castle, a dire challenge answered—and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing. Preserved on a single surviving manuscript dating from around 1400, composed by an anonymous master, this Arthurian epic was rediscovered only two hundred years ago and published for the first time in 1839. Following in the tradition of Ted Hughes, Marie Borroff, and J.R.R. Tolkien, Simon Armitage—one of England’s leading poets—has produced an inventive translation that resounds with both clarity and spirit. His work, presented here with facing original text and a note by Harvard scholar James Simpson, is meticulously responsible to the sophistication of the original but succeeds equally in its ambition to be read as a totally new poem. It is as if two poets, six hundred years apart, set out on a journey through the same mesmerizing landscapes—acoustic, physical, and metaphorical—to share in and double the pleasure of this enchanting classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most fans don’t know how far the Jewish presence in baseball extends beyond a few famous players such as Greenberg, Rosen, Koufax, Holtzman, Green, Ausmus, Youkilis, Braun, and Kinsler. In fact, that presence extends to the baseball commissioner Bud Selig, labor leaders Marvin Miller and Don Fehr, owners Jerry Reinsdorf and Stuart Sternberg, officials Theo Epstein and Mark Shapiro, sportswriters Murray Chass, Ross Newhan, Ira Berkow, and Roger Kahn, and even famous Jewish baseball fans like Alan Dershowitz and Barney Frank. The life stories of these and many others, on and off the field, have been compiled from nearly fifty in-depth interviews and arranged by decade in this edifying and entertaining work of oral and cultural history. In American Jews and America’s Game each person talks about growing up Jewish and dealing with Jewish identity, assimilation, intermarriage, future viability, religious observance, anti-Semitism, and Israel. Each tells about being in the midst of the colorful pantheon of players who, over the past seventy-five years or more, have made baseball what it is. Their stories tell, as no previous book has, the history of the larger-than-life role of Jews in America’s pastime.

Then one day, walking in L.A., Sarah’s heart catches at the sight of a young homeless mother and toddler, and saving them becomes her secret, obsessive mission. When tragedy threatens them, Sarah discovers she is capable of deceptions and transgressions she never imagined. Her lies unleash a downward spiral that will threaten her marriage, family, and her sanity.
