Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hurricane María made landfall in Puerto Rico in September 2017, it left no part of the archipelago unscathed. The hurricane triggered floods and mudslides, washed out roads, destroyed tens of thousands of homes, farms, and businesses, caused the largest blackout in US history, knocked out communications, led to widespread food, drinking water, and gasoline shortages, and caused thousands of deaths. The seventeen oral histories collected in Mi María: Surviving the Storm share stories of surviving the storm and its long aftermath as people waited for relief and aid that rarely arrived. Zaira and her husband floated on a patched air mattress for sixteen hours while floodwaters rose around them. The road washed out in front of Emmanuel as he desperately tried to drive his pregnant wife who had begun labor to the hospital. Luis and his father anxiously counted the days that the dialysis clinic remained closed and lifesaving treatment was unavailable, while Miliana’s mother was sent home from the hospital —undiagnosed— only to fall critically ill in her own home. Weaving together long-form oral histories and shorter testimonios, the book offers a multivocal peoples’ history of disaster that fosters a greater understanding of the failures of governmental disaster response and the correlating perseverance of the people impacted by these failures, highlighting the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Ultimately, the ways in which these oral histories demonstrate the strength of community response to disaster in Puerto Rico are pertinent to other parts of the world that are being impacted by our current climate emergency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lottie I spent months going from one biker club to another, desperately searching for a long-lost brother my mum abandoned. Turning up at the Kings Reapers MC was purely coincidence, but it worked out for the best cos meeting Lake put an end to my search. So why doesn't finding him, stop my pain? I'm a hot mess, that's how a social worker once described me, and poor Lake did nothing to deserve having me as a sister. Then, one day, I cave because the world becomes too much and who turns up to save me but Storm, newest member of the Kings Reapers. Running away from his own demons, the mysterious biker is too much. Too intense. Too hot. Too bossy. Too dangerous. So, of course, I'm attracted to him. Storm London was a fresh start, that's how I sold it to my sister, Taya. Riggs needed more men, and I jumped at the chance to escape cos that's what I do, run. I swore I wouldn't get involved with any woman, especially not Lake's long-lost sister. Lottie is all kinds of messed up and she's a complication I don't fuckin' need. My priority is getting Taya and my son, Seb, settled. That is, until the day I have to collect Lottie from the hospital. Her eyes are screaming pain and they call out to me for help. Because if anyone knows pain, it's me. Separately, we're suffering . . . but together, we're toxic. But I know we met for a reason and I ain't letting her slip away from me. I can fix her, she can fix me, and then we'll live happily ever after, right? Right?

Journey here and discover your own strength." —Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Modern Elder Academy In Surviving Storms, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo explores the art and practice of meeting adversity by using the timeless teachings of the heart. We live in a turbulent time. Storms are everywhere, of every size and shape. And like every generation before us, we must learn the art of surviving them, so we can help each other endure. In order to stand firm against life’s unavoidable storms, we need to know our true self, deepening our roots and solidifying our connection to all Spirit and all life. Then we, like a firmly rooted tree, can endure the force of trials and heartbreak. A profoundly timely resource, Surviving Storms describes the heart’s process of renewal and connection with insight and accuracy. Though we must each map the territories of our souls for ourselves, this spiritually practical book is an indispensable guide, bringing us to common passages and paths and urging us forward on the journey. Once the rubble clears, we, like those before us, are inevitably called to build the world one more time, admitting that we need each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will take you into some deep, passionate, and personal moments of my life and of the lives of some of my family members. You will be able to take a closer look into life of Lucille, Author of the book “A Faith Worth Passing On” and some of her family members. I tell you that with faith and a relationship with God you will have favor that will take you places you cannot imagine. Further it shows how having faith in God will cause mountains to move, walls to crumble and enemies made low. Furthermore, the author entreats you to find purpose within you. Many of the trials in her life will help you understand that when God takes you through different storms, he has already anointed, and appointed you in the area of your affliction so you will be able to minister and help somebody else. Lucille brings witness that the many storms she overcomes are to help minister to and pray someone through. The author submits that she learned early in life to put her trust, (faith and confidence) in God. For each valley, there is a mountain top. It is for sure that no one knows what the future holds, but the one thing for sure we know who holds your tomorrow. You are encouraged throughout the pages to never give up or give out. No matter what happens in life to keep holding on, because there is always light at the end of every tunnel and a rainbow after every storm.

Book excerpt: *Winner of four national awards for excellence in book publishing.*Superstorm Sandy was an epic storm, the greatest natural disaster in the Jersey Shore's recorded history. Throughout Southern Ocean County it disrupted lives and rearranged neighborhoods. It was a defining moment and, for many, a hard lesson about complacency, natural forces, and building castles on shifting sand.In this full-color book, readers experience the superstorm from its inception through the devastating impact of its tidal surge on the Long Beach Island area. And, like its survivors, you come away shaken but determined, with a new appreciation for the power of nature and the fragility of things we hold dear.This is the first book with a comprehensive narrative story of the storm -- not just photographs and captions. And although it focuses on the Long Beach Island community, that narrative also represents much of the experience of the entire Jersey Shore. Weather experts explore the incredible meteorology of Hurricane Sandy and its metamorphosis into a hybrid superstorm. Residents and first responders share their personal stories -- their fears, their bravery, their fortitude, and, ultimately, their acceptance.Because so few people actually remained on the front lines, these first-hand stories from inside the storm are an extraordinary look at landfall and human response. Each of us was affected by the tribulations our battered shore endured after landfall. And, in the end, the triumph of our spirit defines us all -- how we picked ourselves up, got to work on recovery, and generously helped others by lending a hand, donating, or offering a shoulder to cry on. The stories in Surviving Sandy help guide us to rebuild stronger -- and smarter.This softcover edition includes 256 color photographs from the height of the storm, the aftermath and the recovery; it includes a Foreword and Introduction from Great Storms of the Jersey Shore authors Margaret Thomas Buchholz and Larry Savadove.Winner of four national awards -- including a Gold Medal (Nature & Environment), and three Silver Medals (Political/Current Events; Cover Design; and Regional) -- in the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards.

Book excerpt: Description: Depression and related illnesses threaten to wreck the lives of many teens and their families. Suicide driven by these illnesses is one of the top killers of these young people. How do teens become depressed? What does depression feel like? How can we identify it? What helps depressed teens? What hurts them? How do families cope with teen depression? In A Relentless Hope Gary Nelson uses his experience as a pastor and pastoral counselor to guide the reader through an exploration of these and many other questions about teen depression. Nelson has worked with many teens over the years offering help to those who find themselves confronted by this potentially devastating attacker. The author also uses the story of his own son's journey through depression to weave together insights into the spiritual, emotional, cognitive, biological, and relational dimensions of teen depression. Through careful analysis, candid self-revelation, practical advice, and even humor, this pastor, counselor, and father reminds us that God's light of healing can shine through the darkness of depression and offer hope. A Relentless Hope is written for teens, parents, teachers, pastors, and any who walk with the afflicted through this valley of the shadow of death. Endorsements: ""Whether you are a youth struggling with depression, a family member of a depressed teen, or a pastor, counselor or teacher providing support and help in such circumstances, this book is a must read as the most informative and helpful volume available on the subject."" --Merle R. Jordan Professor of Pastoral Psychology Emeritus, Boston University School of Theology ""This story of a family is an incredible gift of honest reflection. So many families deal with the issue of teen depression. . . As the dean of a theological school I am aware of the numbers of youth that my students deal with who are in this book. Depression, self-medication with alcohol and drugs, self doubt and even considerations of suicide as an answer--all are in our communities and probably in even a small church. This book is about an attitude that avoids denial, attempts to keep a sense of humor, and believes in the miracle of life. Thank you, Tom, for allowing your story to be told."" --Maxine Clarke Beach, Vice President and Dean, Drew Theological School This is a story of amazing grace! I love the challenge Gary gave the reader throughout the book: ""Never give up on loving!"" I was reminded in a very tangible way of the limitless capacity of God who loves us the same way--He never stops! What an incredible mantra for all of us: ""Never give up on loving. . . . Never!"" I wonder how different our world would be if we practiced this command? --Rev. Dale Seley, Pastor Downtown Baptist Church, Alexandria, Virginia About the Contributor(s): Gary E. Nelson, DMin, is a United Methodist minister who for thirty years has worked with teens and their families as a local church pastor and as a pastoral counselor. He currently pastors a church in West Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insane spending by past and current administrations has led us into staggering debt. Paying back the loans and interest gathered in the attempt to spend our way out of that debt has become impossible. The demise of the dollar is looming, poised to die in a flaming, downward spiral. When it hits bottom, this nation will fall into chaos like she has never seen before, plunging into a third-world status. Food, gas, and most everything else will become drastically more expensive, coupled with a rise in crime. The "New Normal" for our nation will be upon us as these changes take place. Hollywood has painted an image of this nation's future as an apocalyptic world filled with mutant, "Mad Max"-type biker gangs and zombies-and the masses have bought into it. In this book, the author refutes this and takes examples from history as well as from a Christian, biblical standpoint showing what you can do to prepare. Is your family prepared to Survive The Coming Storm? Ray Gano is the executive director of Prophezine, along with his wife, Trayce. They currently serve over ninety thousand (and growing) people worldwide with weekly newsletters, daily news updates, a community-based website, along with Internet radio shows and YouTube broadcasts. Ray and Tracye live in the middle of the Texas hill country, where they share their home with their family, six dogs, a bunch of chickens, some turkeys, and geese. When Ray is not researching and writing, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and tactical shooting, but most of all he enjoys spending time with his wife. Book jacket.

Meeting him was a game changer for me, in more ways than one. We both liked the same stuff, yah know, in the bedroom. It didn't hurt he was bloody gorgeous. Not my usual type, but with parents like mine, I have to stick to their rules. But Lake, he blew the damn rules right out the window and before I knew it, we were hooking up more often than actual couples in a relationship. I was honest, told him straight I wasn't looking for anything serious, cos I'm not that type of girl, but the universe had other plans. Now, I've got to grow up and take responsibility for the mess I caused. The mess we caused . . . Lake I landed on my feet when I met the female version of me. Sara was kinky, wild, and willing to do anything to annoy her stuck-up parents. It was a bonus that neither of us were looking for a relationship-straight up booty calls were our thing. hen came the bombshell, and I ain't talking the blonde kind. She doesn't expect anything and she's made it clear I'm not on her future plan, but since when did she get to make up the rules? It's not so easy to walk away now I know her secret. All I gotta do is convince her I'm not going anywhere. Not now, not ever . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes storms are predictable, which enables you to prepare and possibly decrease the impact. However, there are other times when a storm blows in suddenly, unexpectedly and wreaks havoc to everyone in its path. There is one thing that is certain and that is that storms of life will come. They will come to destroy, tear down, disrupt, and divide things and people alike. However, there is hope that you can survive the storm. God is able to bring you through any storm, if you just call him. Once you realize this certainty, then you become better equipped to deal with future storms. The Lord is the only one that can prepare us to deal with the stresses of life. He is our helper (Hebrews 13:6). He is our father, teacher, friend, protector, provider, healer and so much more. When we walk close to Him, He will walk close to us. (Scripture, Job 23:10) "But He knows the way that I take, and when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold). He will guide us, through the storms of life. Although we may face difficult situations, if God is with us, we can make it through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid and enlightening oral account of homelessness in the Las Vegas storm drains and the hard work of re-entering mainstream society. Are you aware that hundreds of people live underground in the flood channels of Las Vegas? Few people were until Matthew O'Brien grabbed a flashlight, tape recorder, and expandable baton for protection and explored the storm-drain system in depth. This research resulted in his landmark book Beneath the Neon. Now the drains have been covered by CNN, Fox News, NPR, Dr. Phil, the New York Times, the BBC, Al Jazeera, and many other media outlets. They have even found their way on to popular TV shows, including CSI, Criminal Minds, and into mainstream movies. But the fact that several of these drug- and gambling-addicted tunnel dwellers have clawed their way out of the drains and turned around their lives has received far less attention. Dark Days, Bright Nights shares their harrowing stories and provides a unique perspective on one of America's most fascinating cities. It also paints a larger picture of homelessness and recovery in America. These stories are the happy (though not Hollywood) ending to the infamous tunnel tale. The narrative is complemented by bios and stark, black-and-white images of the survivors, putting a scarred, knowing face to the unblinkingly honest accounts.
