Book excerpt: ". . .Miss Emma, he doesn't have to be worthy to listen and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. All he has to do is be willing. If we could only get him to listen and let us talk to him." "There were only three noticeable and important differences he could immediately observe about north Florida. First, the lush-green countryside was filled with trees, such as would never grow in the arid climate of Colorado. The second was the lilting, often difficult-to-understand, sometimes heavily-accented, language spoken by the true native in the area. It was perceptible as English, but was laced with colloquialisms never heard before by the farm-boy-turned-missionary. The third was the impossible humidity which left a man sweating and drained of energy before 10:00 a.m. each day during the six-month-long summer. But, Elder Butters thought, he would be able to adjust, and he had begun to come out of his shell after a month or two. That is, until he was transferred as his second assignment to the newly-formed Dixie Ward and met "that old curmudgeon."

Download or read book The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead written by Charles Murray and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those starting out in their careers—and those who wish to advance more quickly—this is a delightfully fussy guide to the hidden rules of the road in the workplace and in life. As bestselling author and social historian Charles Murray explains, at senior levels of an organization there are curmudgeons everywhere, judging your every move. Yet it is their good opinion you need to win if you hope to get ahead. Among the curmudgeon’s day-to-day tips for the workplace: • Excise the word “like” from your spoken English • Don’t suck up • Stop “reaching out” and “sharing” • Rid yourself of piercings, tattoos, and weird hair colors • Make strong language count His larger career advice includes: • What to do if you have a bad boss • Coming to grips with the difference between being nice and being good • How to write when you don’t know what to say • Being judgmental (it’s good, and you don’t have a choice anyway) And on the great topics of life, the curmudgeon urges us to leave home no matter what, get real jobs (not internships), put ourselves in scary situations, and watch Groundhog Day repeatedly (he’ll explain). Witty, wise, and pulling no punches, The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Getting Ahead is an indispensable sourcebook for living an adult life.

Book excerpt: An affecting memoir from one of America's most provocative humorists Over the past two decades, Joe Queenan has established himself as a scourge of everything that is half-baked, half-witted, and halfhearted in American culture. In Closing Time, Queenan turns his sights on a more serious and a more personal topic: his childhood in a Philadelphia housing project in the early 1960s. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Closing Time recounts Queenan's Irish Catholic upbringing in a family dominated by his erratic, alcoholic father, and his long flight away from the dismal confines of his neighborhood into the greater, wide world. A story about salvation and escape, Closing Time has at its heart the makings of a classic American autobiography.
Download or read book Borrowed Magic written by Shari Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a three-year siege, Lord Kern, the dark mage, is dead. Magic has left Tredare, and life is almost back to normal. For everyone except Maren, that is. Before the siege, an attack by Lord Kern left Maren near death and with a sliver of magic buried deep inside her. Now, for reasons Maren doesn't understand, that magic has been triggered, giving her the ability to "see" the truth: that her world is nothing more than a magical façade; and that the kingdom's hero may not be a hero at all. But this gift of sight comes at a high cost. Maren is in constant pain, and fears her own death is imminent. Plus, no one believes her suspicions that another Dark Mage has risen, and that Tredare may be in just as much danger as it was when Kern was alive. With the country's future in the hands of a man who's vowed revenge on its king, Maren must convince someone else of the truth. Unfortunately, the only person powerful enough to help is also the one man she can't trust; the man she almost married; the man who abandoned her and disappeared for three years: Kern's son. As Tredare crumbles around them, Maren must persuade him to help - before the king is murdered by the very hero he reveres; and before the same magic that gives Maren the gift of sight also takes her life.
