The Other Side of the Story Growing up, I didn’t have the best relationship with my Father. It’s ironic to me...how writing this book came about. When I was a child, I couldn’t see, in my “little eyes” the love my father had for his children. I could only see a Father that wanted to “keep us from life”. Listening to his side of the story helps me to realize that it wasn’t “life” that he was keeping us from but the “world” and “worldly things”. My Father wasn’t much of a talker back then, as a matter of fact, there was very little talk, especially when it came to “who he was and what he had done in life”. Writing his story gave me a lot of information and answers to questions I had. The “why...what...where...when...and how” was answered and explained. One of the things I admired most of his story was how...if he could do it again...he would do some of the things he done differently. He saw/sees his mistakes. We all have those moments where we wished we could “turn back the hands of time”. Most of all, what I like about his story is...where he gave his life to the Lord. I see old men on the street daily. I think...”that could have been my Father”. How I am grateful that my Father accepted Jesus and his “Lord” and “Savior”. I now understand in my “big eyes” my Father might not have been “this” or “that” but he was the “main” thing...A FATHER. I’m proud of my Father and Mother and I’m blessed to have had BOTH of them in my life. Doris C. Smith

The experiences we had and endured along the way while making memories that would last a lifetime.

Author: Evan Osnos

Publisher: Random House

ISBN: 1448190606

Category: Political Science

Page: 416

*WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2014* A young army captain who risked execution to swim from free-market Taiwan to Communist China. A barber who made $150 million in the gambling dens of Macau. The richest woman in China, a recycling tycoon known as the ‘Wastepaper Queen’. Age of Ambition describes some of the billion individual lives that make up China’s story – one that unfolds on remote farms, in glittering mansions, and in the halls of power of the world’s largest authoritarian regime. Together they describe the defining clash taking place today: between the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control. Here is a China infused with a sense of boundless possibility and teeming romance. Yet it is also riven by contradictions. It is the world’s largest buyer of Rolls Royces and Ferraris yet the word ‘luxury’ is banned from billboards. It has more Christians than members of the Communist Party. And why does a government that has lifted more people from poverty than any other so strictly restrain freedom of expression? Based on years of research, Age of Ambition is a stunning narrative that reveals China as we have never understood it before.

Due to the economic crisis, organizations are accelerating the dramatic changes they're making in the way they run their businesses. Employees, faced with these rapid and often undesirable changes, need help — and so do the organizations they work for. If change is going to be a constant in people’s lives and the number and type of changes are going to happen faster, it is imperative that people develop the ability to live in this constantly changing world without feeling like victims, but rather like partners in the changes they face. Change Better is about how to develop the critical skills and tools necessary to cope with change at work and in one's personal life. These skills and the tools that go with them help people gain control over the changes in their lives. Jeanenne LaMarsh shows the ways in which readers can help themselves to change and the ways in which they will be able to accept, deal with, and maximize change with the greatest speed and least pain.

Author: Mattia Harris-Bolton

Publisher: AuthorHouse

Category: Biography & Autobiography

Page: 268

Mattia was born on the 14th day of February. At birth she was given the name Mattia LaJuan Harris. As a very young child, she walked in the supernatural. Soon she realized that she was very different from others in her family. Actually; she wasn't like anyone that she knew. Mattia saw things that others didn't see with their natural eyes. She was always talking to spiritual beings that she later learned were angels. Not having many people understand her; she found herself lost in the things of the church. Mattia had no true knowledge of who the GOD of the church really was, because of these experiences. When Mattia tried to gain an understanding of her experiences by confiding in church members and clergy ; out of ignorance they shunned her and treated her as a throw away. Mattia began to believe that she didn't belong to the same GOD that they belonged to, because they had no knowledge of her spiritual experiences. In her eyes; they had no knowledge of her GOD . When Mattia became a teenager she walked away from the church to find her true spiritual identity. While on this journey for spiritual truth, she became a faithful member of a well known occult. Things began to change drastically for her when she was introduced, rescued and befriended by a spirit being that later revealed himself to her as the Holy Spirit. The rescue took place one evening while she was attending a spiritual class. This class was being held at an occult compound on Shady Dale Rd in Eatonton Ga. Mattia began to be taught the ways of the LORD by the Holy Spirit. Mattia later learned that this process came at a very high price. She learned that Lucifer's grip was deeper than she realized. Come and walk through this process of how she went from a life in spiritual darkness and confusion to a life of salvation through Jesus the Christ. My friend, your deliverance is available only through Christ Jesus.

Writer's Nightmare

2000-10-14 Literary Criticism

Author: R K Narayan

Publisher: Penguin UK

ISBN: 8184750765

Category: Literary Criticism

Page: 240

The pick of thirty years of essays from R.K. Narayan, India's greatest English language novelist. R.K. Narayan is perhaps better known as a novelist, but his essays are as delightful and enchanting as his stories and novels. Introducing this selection of essays, Narayan writes, 'I have always been drawn to the personal essay in which you see something of the author himself apart from the theme...the scope for such a composition is unlimited—the mood may be sombre, hilarious or satirical and the theme may range from what the author notices from his window to what he sees in his waste-paper basket to a world cataclysm.' A Writer's Nightmare is the marvellous result of Narayan's liking for the personal essay. In the book, he tackles subjects such as weddings, mathematics, coffee, umbrellas, teachers, newspapers, architecture, monkeys, the caste system, lovers—all sorts of topics, simple and not so simple, which reveal the very essence of India.
