Book Synopsis There Are No Shortcuts by : Rafe Esquith
Download or read book There Are No Shortcuts written by Rafe Esquith and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Year after year, Rafe Esquith’s fifth-grade students excel. They read passionately, far above their grade level; tackle algebra; and stage Shakespeare so professionally that they often wow the great Shakespearen actor himself, Sir Ian McKellen. Yet Esquith teaches at an L.A. innercity school known as the Jungle, where few of his students speak English at home, and many are from poor or troubled families. What’s his winning recipe? A diet of intensive learning mixed with a lot of kindness and fun. His kids attend class from 6:30 A.M. until well after 4:00 P.M., right through most of their vacations. They take field trips to Europe and Yosemite. They play rock and roll. Mediocrity has no place in their classroom. And the results follow them for life, as they go on to colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford. Possessed by a fierce idealism, Esquith works even harder than his students. As an outspoken maverick of public education (his heroes include Huck Finn and Atticus Finch), he admits to significant mistakes and heated fights with administrators and colleagues. We all—teachers, parents, citizens—have much to learn from his candor and uncompromising vision.

If we too want to deliver the love of God to the numerous dying souls in the world, we have to realize this spiritual love and practice it.
Book Synopsis Dealing with and Overcoming the Trials and Tribulations of Life by : Dr. Rodwell Rillen
Download or read book Dealing with and Overcoming the Trials and Tribulations of Life written by Dr. Rodwell Rillen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information in the book is intended to enlighten young people about the trials and tribulations in one’s life and how to deal with them by learning from the experiences of others to be successful in life and, when the chips are down, to continue to focus on one’s career goal/s to uplift oneself and keep going until that goal is met. Too many of our young people want too many things too fast in life without putting in the hard work. Corruption is the word of today, and young people have to believe in themselves to go down the straight and narrow road in life but with the help from others and some type of spiritual belief to receive that help. It is for them to understand that the devil is a busy guy and loves to see bad things happen to people, even though such things can turn out to be lucrative but they never last and just make one’s life miserable.

Download or read book Angel's Gate written by p.g. sturges and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest novel in the acclaimed Shortcut Man series is a rousing tale of sex, sleaze, and salvation in the City of Angels that’s “filled with enough dark humor and shady characters to satisfy the most rabid noir fan” (Associated Press). Our hero Dick Henry—aka the Shortcut Man—becomes involved in a case featuring an aging but still amorous Los Angeles movie mogul named Howard Hogue who keeps a stable of young starlets available for his highly ritualized attentions. Retained by the sister of a young woman who has gone missing, Henry becomes friendly with Connie Cielo, the “housemother” to the starlets. Despite Connie’s morally questionable responsibilities, she is willing to help (and enjoy the company of) the Shortcut Man. After Hogue’s star director assaults one of these women in a drug-fueled romp, Henry is drawn into a deeper mystery from years past involving a mysterious death on a boat and a missing screenplay written by what appears to be a homeless man. As he peels back layer upon layer of sordid Hollywood history, Dick Henry must contend with crazed drug dealers, Hogue’s personal doctor, crooked cops, private security henchmen, and Hogue himself—who is so powerful and bunkered in his movie-biz millions that he is unfazed by the resourceful Henry. A wry and rollicking read, Vexations of the Shortcut Man proves that p.g. sturges is “one of the cleverest and funniest new writers to grace the mystery genre in quite some time” (BookPage.com).
