Download or read book Sacred Parenting written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting is a school for spiritual formation, says author Gary Thomas, and our children are our teachers. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children profoundly alters us forever…even when the journey is sometimes a rough one. Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book on the market. This is not a “how-to” book that teaches readers the ways to discipline their kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of a discussion about how parents change their children, Sacred Parenting turns the tables and demonstrates how God uses children to change their parents. Stepping beyond the overly-tilled soil of method books, parents can learn a whole new side of parenting. They’ll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent—and how their children transformed their relationship with God. The lessons the author writes about are timeless. But in this edition, Thomas adds in some additional insights and stories that he’s learned and lived over the past fifteen years of his own parenting. Gary has found that the lessons have remained much the same but there are new applications for the readers in this generation who are just now coming to his book.

Download or read book Shelby's Folly written by Jason Kelly and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923, not long after oil had started gushing from northern Montana fields, real-estate sales in nearby Shelby were declining, dimming the little town’s prospects of becoming the “Tulsa of the West.” Then the mayor’s son dreamed up a marketing ploy: offer to host heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey’s next fight. What began as a publicity stunt soon spiraled into a civic drama unlike any Montana had ever seen—or ever would again. Shelby’s Folly tells this story in full for the first time. Against the background of boom-and-bust Montana history, the folly of Shelby’s would-be promoters unfolds in colorful detail. It took months to persuade Dempsey’s conniving manager, Jack “Doc” Kearns, to sign a $300,000 contract. With less than two months before the July 4th fight, the town still had no stadium and no accommodations for tens of thousands of expected fans. Jason Kelly describes the promoters’ desperate measures and their disastrous results, from the first inkling of the idea to the bitter end of the fifteen-round boxing match. Shelby residents identified with the underdog challenger, Tommy Gibbons, who went toe-to-toe with the champion in an atmosphere crackling with tension. Nerves were so frayed that a holiday firecracker exploding in the arena sent shockwaves of fear through the crowd. A soap opera of financial intrigue and chicanery, Shelby’s Folly chronicles how Big Sky ambition and the scheming mind of Doc Kearns collided to produce one of the most preposterous series of events in boxing history.

Book Synopsis The Fearless Harry Greb by : Bill Paxton
Download or read book The Fearless Harry Greb written by Bill Paxton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-29 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary Harry Greb stepped into the ring more than 300 times from 1913 to 1926, defeated opponents who outweighed him by more than 30 pounds, held the middleweight and light heavyweight titles and beat every Hall of Fame boxer he ever fought. Dubbed "the Pittsburgh Windmill" because of his manic, freewheeling style in the ring, Greb also crossed racial lines, taking on all comers regardless of color. An injury in the ring led to Greb's gradually going blind in one eye and should have ended his career, but he kept his condition secret and fought on. Tragically, the indomitable fighter would be dead by the age of 32, felled by complications during minor surgery. This biography of one of the toughest boxers of all time includes interviews, family recollections, modern doctors' analyses of Greb's eye injury and more than 120 rare photographs, as well as a complete fight record and round-by-round descriptions of his most famous fights.
Book Synopsis The Bittersweet Science by : Carlo Rotella
Download or read book The Bittersweet Science written by Carlo Rotella and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weighing in with a balance of the visceral and the cerebral, boxing has attracted writers for millennia. Yet few of the writers drawn to it have truly known the sport—and most have never been in the ring. Moving beyond the typical sentimentality, romanticism, or cynicism common to writing on boxing, The Bittersweet Science is a collection of essays about boxing by contributors who are not only skilled writers but also have extensive firsthand experience at ringside and in the gym, the corner, and the ring itself. Editors Carlo Rotella and Michael Ezra have assembled a roster of fresh voices, ones that expand our understanding of the sport’s primal appeal. The contributors to The Bittersweet Science—journalists, fiction writers, fight people, and more—explore the fight world's many aspects, considering boxing as both craft and business, art form and subculture. From manager Charles Farrell’s unsentimental defense of fixing fights to former Golden Glover Sarah Deming’s complex profile of young Olympian Claressa Shields, this collection takes us right into the ring and makes us feel the stories of the people who are drawn to—or sometimes stuck in—the boxing world. We get close-up profiles of marquee attractions like Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr., as well as portraits of rising stars and compelling cornermen, along with first-person, hands-on accounts from fighters’ points of view. We are schooled in not only how to hit and be hit, but why and when to throw in the towel. We experience the intimate immediacy of ringside as well as the dim back rooms where the essentials come together. And we learn that for every champion there’s a regiment of journeymen, dabblers, and anglers for advantage, for every aspiring fighter, a veteran in painful decline. Collectively, the perspectives in The Bittersweet Science offer a powerful in-depth picture of boxing, bobbing and weaving through the desires, delusions, and dreams of boxers, fans, and the cast of managers, trainers, promoters, and hangers-on who make up life in and around the ring. Contributors: Robert Anasi, Brin-Jonathan Butler, Donovan Craig, Sarah Deming, Michael Ezra, Charles Farrell, Rafael Garcia, Gordon Marino, Louis Moore, Gary Lee Moser, Hamilton Nolan, Gabe Oppenheim, Carlo Rotella, Sam Sheridan, and Carl Weingarten.
Download or read book Ramblin On written by Clyde Rosser and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was prepared by Clyde and Wenogene Rosser, for our children and any other people that might have an interest in reading it. RAMBLIN ON was chosen for the name because that is just what we are doing. The book is in no order. We collected, over a fifty-year period, many items we thought to be of interest to people in all walks of life. At first our idea was to write a sales manual. We later decided to include something for everyone. For the page header my wife thought, "A PATTERN FOR LIVING" would be appropriate. You need a pattern to make a dress, a quilt, and a birdhouse. In fact you need a pattern to do a good job making almost anything. A blue print is a pattern for building a home. Why not a pattern for living which is the most important thing we do? We believe we have in our book many ideas that will help you build a good, strong, prosperous, happy, healthy and enjoyable life. We know it will answer most all the problems you may have. The book is based on belief and the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude. We know it is important to live every minute, every hour and every day with positive expectancy. We believe your attitude controls not only your successful living but also your health. We are supported in our belief by many prominent people who have been leaders in our time and also most of the great men and women history has recorded for a few thousand years. They have contributed many fine ideas that have been proven successful for them and many others who have made good use of them. We know you will enjoy reading and benefiting from these thoughts. Just one idea could give you the extra lift, or push, or belief that will cause you to reach your dream goals. The book is filled with motivational thoughts. It is designed to be opened at any page and read. This will lead you to investigate the other pages. Also you will find an index by page number. The index is not in any order as it follows the book. This is intentional and we think and we hope you will enjoy it this way. We feel certain you will find many things you can relate to. If you feel a lot of it is sales oriented remember sixty percent of the people depend totally or partially on sales for their livelihood and that it is Many topics are covered from how to get along with people to weight control. We hope this material will benefit you. We know it will if you use it. You will find quotes from people such as the following we will list plus others not listed here. We quote, Disraeli, Bovee, Arostle, Corbett, Ford, Edison, Johnson, Lincoln, Schweitzer, Emerson, Plato, Socrates, Apostle Paul, Jesus, Thoreau, Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, King Solomon, Burbank, Kettering, Omar Kahyyam, William James, Galileo, Mark Twain, Kaiser, Voltaire, Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Hugo, Pasteur, Confucius, Dr Oyle, Carlyle, Darwin and Vandyke. This book will be very helpful in rearing children. It will be helpful for anyone in a negotiating position such as union officials, diplomats, managers, salesman, homemakers or business people in any vocation. Successfully Yours, Clyde E. Rosser Wenogene Rosser
Book Synopsis Historic Photos of Lake Michigan by :
Download or read book Historic Photos of Lake Michigan written by and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast lingering remnant of an ice age that came to a close more than 10,000 years ago, Lake Michigan has shaped the history of the settlements along its surrounding shores for centuries. Its storied waters have seen schooners, luxury steamships, and modern freighters, its lakeshores the rise of the railroads that helped to carve a way of life into the surrounding wooded wilderness for the Americans who called the region home. Through high times and lean, the lake’s 1,640 miles of coastline have clung to their untamed beauty even as bustling harbor hamlets and booming cities like Chicago and Milwaukee rose in their midst. Historic Photos of Lake Michigan chronicles portions of two centuries on and around Lake Michigan—the only great lake entirely within United States borders, the third-largest of the five Great Lakes, and the fifth-largest freshwater lake in the world—showcasing the ever-changing life and landscape along its quartz crystal coast.
