Book Synopsis Hiking Life's Difficult Trails by : Mark Stephen Taylor
Download or read book Hiking Life's Difficult Trails written by Mark Stephen Taylor and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'High Country Hikers Edition' of Hiking Life's Difficult Trails contains the same, life-changing information as the original edition, yet also adds a short but uniquely organized daily devotional at the end of the book, arranged by the author himself. Its purpose is to teach and inspire explicitly those who are partial to the more glorious treks of the high mountains. Hiking Life's Difficult Trails is a spiritual journey--an arduous challenge. This particular journey is better suited to those who have learned to live with remorse--earned through a broad diversity of loss, pain and suffering. There are those who in time develop what it takes to negotiate difficult terrain in life, and there are those who do not. Yet, to have what it takes has only one requirement--humility. We all fail in one way or another each day. Admit it or not, we just can't seem to attain perfection. We usually blame God for our inability to live as we should, but then praise Him when He allows things to get a little better. We just can't seem to find a way to be content in our circumstances, and be thankful for both the good ones and the bad ones. But, the bottom line is, we actually have some profound misunderstandings--about life, about circumstances, and about God Himself. It's time once again to hike along with award-winning author, Mark Stephen Taylor. In this third volume, he takes us back to the Wilderness Trail--not just to hike along its rim, but to explore its depths--to hike up its buttes, among its sharp crags, and into its areas of parched desolation. Mr. Taylor helps us to better understand the difficulties of this earthly life, and leads us along a most profound trail of discovery, illumination, and hope. Hiking is indeed great therapy. So, what are you waiting for? C'mon along--lets do it!
Download or read book Divided written by Brian Cornell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-11-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a person hikes a long trail, they catch the bug, but does it get any easier the second time around? Four years after starting the Appalachian Trail with his brother, Brian takes to the Continental Divide Trail for his second thru-hike in familiar company. However, trail life is not always as rewarding and romantic as the pictures you see or second-hand stories you hear. "Divided" provides an accurate account of life on trail: what hikers ponder, eat, love, loathe, and the questions they tire of answering. Some moments are too short, some are painfully long while others are whisked away unceremoniously with the wind. Follow along on the journey as Brian navigates difficulties, successes and everything between while attempting to walk from Mexico to Canada.

Book Synopsis Mad about Trade by : Daniel T. Griswold
Download or read book Mad about Trade written by Daniel T. Griswold and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2009 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians and pundits can rage against free trade and globalization, but much of what they convey is myth says the author. He argues that free trade is good for the American family. Among the benefits he discusses are import competition that provides lower prices, greater variety, and better quality, especially for poor and middle class families. Driven in part by trade, most new jobs are well-paying service jobs. Foreign investment here has created well-paying jobs, and investment abroad has given United States companies access to millions of new customers. Trade helped expand the global middle class, reducing poverty and child labor while fueling demand for U.S. products. The author also looks at how the past three decades of an open global economy have created a more prosperous, democratic, and peaceful world.
Book Synopsis I Promise Not To Suffer by : Gail Storey
Download or read book I Promise Not To Suffer written by Gail Storey and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Witty, wise, and full of heart, Gail Storey’s winning memoir of her hike on the Pacific Crest Trail at the age of fifty-six is a book for every one who ever dreamed of taking the road less traveled. I Promise Not to Suffer is as inspiring as it is hilarious, as poignant as it is smart. It’s one of those oh-please-don’t-let-it-end books. I’d carry it in my backpack anywhere.”—Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild CLICK HERE to download the first 50 pages from I Promise Not To Suffer (Provide us with a little information and we'll send your download directly to your inbox) With comfortable urban lives in Houston, Texas, and career and life goals mostly accomplished, Gail D. Storey and her husband were in their fifties when they decided it was time to test themselves on a new path—a 2,663-mile path known as the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches from Mexico to Canada. I Promise Not to Suffer is Gail's light-hearted yet heart-felt memoir about her and her husband's adventures and misadventures, deepening marriage, and reflections on being irrevocably changed by life on the trail. She was a novice hiker, while he was an experienced outdoorsman. Removed from their usual routines and living outside in the wilderness for months exposed hidden intricacies in their relationship. Hiking 20 miles a day over mountains, thirsting in the high desert of California, forcing frozen feet into icy socks and boots each morning in the High Sierra, stumbling through lava fields in Oregon—Gail was required to meet the elements on their own tough-love terms. From an encounter with a mountain lion to her mother's battle with cancer at home, she confronts each challenge with wit and brave style. While a dangerous loss of weight forces Gail to leave the PCT after 900 miles, she regains strength and later rejoins her husband on sections until he triumphantly reaches the northern terminus in Canada. Humorous yet honest, this journey of harrowing hilarity and reluctant revelations will be loved by active hikers (appendices include details of their unique ultralight gear and other essential how-to information), fans of female adventure stories, and armchair travelers alike.

Praise for I Promise Not To Suffer: “At times wrenching memoir, at times hilarious, I Promise Not to Suffer pulls no punches and has a wicked sense of fun. Storey reminds me again of what is possible with a big imagination, a dose of scrappy courage, and a lot of love.” --Peter Heller, author of The Dog Stars and Kook “Some have called Gail Storey the Nora Ephron of the wilderness. With her own unique wit, Storey shares Ephron’s commitment to creating and tending a long, nourishing marriage. I Promise Not to Suffer is a portrait of a union that does not fray or break under pressure but is forged, toughened, and tenderized.” --Sara Davidson, author of Leap!, Loose Change, and The December Project “Of the many books that I have read about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, none have captured the trail experience from so many different perspectives.Single hikers, couples, and those who stay behind will all enjoy Gail Storey’s account of the challenges, the beauty, and the PCT community found along the way.” --Liz Bergeron, Executive Director and CEO, Pacific Crest Trail Association Winner of the Nautilus Awards 2014 "Better Books for a Better World" Silver Award! Winner of the Colorado Books Awards 2014 in the Memoir category!

Book Synopsis Keep Moving Forward by : Matt Landry
Download or read book Keep Moving Forward written by Matt Landry and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-27 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature has taught me more about life than I ever thought possible. I found that how we deal with the mountains we climb is how we deal with life itself. We face our fears, adjust our mindset, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. One of the most important lessons I learned is that we all climb mountains. Every. Single. Day. I thought I was just hiking mountains. What I was really doing was learning valuable lessons that I could equate directly to life. Hiking thousands of miles over perhaps hundreds of mountains all over the United States teaches you a lot. With that said, you don't have to be a hiker to enjoy any of these revelations. I'll frame each lesson with a hiking story from the past, but the takeaways are just as important to anyone as they would be to a hiker. In other words, these are not hiker exclusive lessons. These 9 are the most powerful that I've taken from the hikes, the trials, the tribulations, the celebrations, the failures, and the accomplishments. - Do it scared. - The Destination is the journey. - Be grateful and be mindful. - Your attitude determines your altitude. - Find your tribe. - Hike your own hike. - Expect the best. Plan for the worst. - Life is filled with sacrifices. - Keep moving forward. It wasn't until a few years ago that I started to assemble and sort through many of the lessons I had learned. Most we just take for granted. It isn't until we contemplate what we've learned that we can digest and assemble it properly. To climb a mountain is to learn about life. It's all about continually moving forward.
