Описание: You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll know you've been told the truth in this memoir of Laura Shepperd's quest for sobriety via rehab. This is no harrowing drunk tale, but rather a gritty, hope-filled story told in a voice so authentic it leaves the reader thinking maybe they've known her all along. Rehab takes her hundreds of miles from her rural East Texas town and worlds away from her life as a wife, mother and school secretary. What could she possibly have in common with a bunch of alcoholics, heroin addicts and Xanax housewives? At first, nothing. And then, everything.
Описание: "Ah Jeeeze, not another book about Autism." But this one is different It's not all rainbows, unicorns and blessings. The Dark Side of Autism puts raising a child with special needs into perspective with no sugar coating of the reality. With firsthand experience raising a nonverbal child with autism and epilepsy, Angela talks openly and honestly about the true challenges parents face raising a child on the spectrum. With contentious opinions and candid observations, The Dark Side of Autism tells the truth about a dark and difficult subject people don't like to talk about while fostering awareness for this sometimes debilitating and mostly unknown neurological disorder. This offhanded, direct and vulnerable parenting chronicle will give you a new appreciation for the simple things taken for granted with neuro-typical kids like taking a trip to Disneyland, a full night's sleep and haircuts. Angela often says things people only think to themselves in fear of offending someone. Autism has a dark side---it's learning to cope with the darkness that can lift you up. If you are a parent with a child with special needs this book may read your mind. Angela is spot on with her darkly funny observations in the world of special needs---from the taunting beeping of a short bus to mastering IEPs with a reoccurring "don't ask, don't tell" theme. If you know someone, and chances are you do, caring for a child with special needs, you will gain new insight on what it must be like for them. This book can be easily used as a guide to the stupid things NOT to say to a parent with a mentally or physically challenged child---without checking your "foot in the mouth meter" first. The Dark Side of Autism can help you be a kinder, more compassionate friend, parent, spouse and human.

Описание:
In this book Candy(the Crane) shares a story about her pals Panic(the Panda) and Ronda(the red panda) learning about other types of rainbows besides the ones you see in the day sky. Meanwhile, CoCo(the Koala) is their other friend who uses his big imagination to spice up their story with a funny version of his own.
This book is not just a funny story for kids, but it is meant to teach kids some cool things in nature that even some adults may not know.
I hope you all get inspired to learn more about the topics in this book and want to explore even more "rainbows all around you".

Описание:
As a medical professional, she spends her days in a world rich with science and skepticism. But for Prudence Ann Smith, MD, FACR, the mysteries of life have always taken on a deeper meaning.
Inspired by her grandmother, a psychic medium, and involved in the Pentecostal Church, Smith has found herself on a lifelong journey to explain the unexplained. Along the way, she's consulted top experts, countless books, and religious texts in a heartfelt search for the truth regarding the afterlife and the spiritual realm.
In Making Rainbows, Smith reveals the story of this fascinating search for answers, including her meetings with a number of renowned psychic mediums including James Van Praagh, Lisa Williams, and Hollister Rand. As she reveals the evolution of her own mediumship, Smith shares valuable advice for readers hoping to grow more in tune with their own psychic abilities and open up to the spirit world.
Peppered with personal anecdotes, touching tales, and humorous moments, this memoir and spiritual self-help guide addresses many of life's greatest questions, from whether our deaths are predetermined to how much our deceased loved ones really know about our lives after they pass away.
Our world has been divided into two distinct eras, the pre-coronavirus era and the post-coronavirus era. In the post-coronavirus era, everything is changing about how we live, think, work, study, travel, worship, do business and socialize. Our dispositions to the changes will determine what the post-coronavirus world will look like for us. Rigidity will be a great undoing for many in the days to come. We all have to prepare to learn, unlearn and relearn new skills in order to survive the impact of the pandemic. The church in Africa, and, indeed, ECWA is not immune to the changes taking place. If the church in Africa and beyond is to survive and be of impact in this new-normal era of the world, then it must be like the men of Issachar, 'who understood the times and knew what Israel should do . . .' (1 Chronicles 12:32). This book examines the effects of the coronavirus lockdown on corporate worship in ECWA. It discusses the response of ECWA to the same and extrapolates the implications to the church in Africa. These implications are important for the future of evangelical Christianity in Africa so the church can strategise to minister in the face of the new realities introduced by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Why you have the right to resist unjust government
The economist Albert O. Hirschman famously argued that citizens of democracies have only three possible responses to injustice or wrongdoing by their government: we may leave, complain, or comply. But in When All Else Fails, Jason Brennan argues that there is fourth option. When governments violate our rights, we may resist. We may even have a moral duty to do so.
For centuries, almost everyone has believed that we must allow the government and its representatives to act without interference, no matter how they behave. We may complain, protest, sue, or vote officials out, but we can't fight back. But Brennan makes the case that we have no duty to allow the state or its agents to commit injustice. We have every right to react with acts of "uncivil disobedience." We may resist arrest for violation of unjust laws. We may disobey orders, sabotage government property, or reveal classified information. We may deceive ignorant, irrational, or malicious voters. We may even use force in self-defense or to defend others.
The result is a provocative challenge to long-held beliefs about how citizens may respond when government officials behave unjustly or abuse their power.
