As you take selfies and look in mirrors, what do you see? For Christians, sometimes it's hard or downright impossible to see yourself as God does. This book will inspire the reader to become more effective in Christian living because it deals with the heart of a person and how you should take on the heart of God.

[ "Fishing & baseball & endless summer vacations . . . the first stirrings of rock 'n' roll on the radio . . . adults quietly and firmly in charge . . . Westphal unspools memory and detail to depict a town that is both the Mayberry of Andy Griffith and the Gibbsville of John O'Hara --- happily, more of the first than the second. We see: A solid, honest community of German immigrants making the most of their lives in a new world; and the half-mad, drought-broken farmers stripped from the land and sent searching for a new resting place. Both meet and thrive in a modest Arkansas town, a free zone where children can run, play, and have their adventures without danger or over-supervision. Family history, childish enthusiasm and an adult's brooding wisdom weave one through the other in this memoir; prose and free verse alternate easily, making a smooth read that is both sharp and elegiac. You will re-enter your own childhood --- with its oceanic feelings; you'll feel the coming of adolescence, with its surges and dislocations and hot tumult. From Larry D. Thomas, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate: \"Rich with personal and historical detail and sparkling with clear and concise diction, the book succeeds in revealing the bygone, small-town life not only of Arkansas but . . . of an earlier and simpler America as well.\" But beyond the pleasures of fact and memory, the book is a celebration of America and a criticism of tragic flaws inherent from the beginning, flaws we can no longer afford to indulge lest they bring us down altogether. If you love to read and savor the sweet, apt, dead-on word --- if you like to mix intelligence with your nostalgia --- then this book is for you." ]

In a genre dominated by action stories, tie-ins, and archetypes, the detailed characters and careful science stand out, creating a science fiction story which could unfold in anyone's small town.", "Twelve-year-old Rosetta has a problem. God speaks to her and fills her life with joy and certainty she longs to share. But on top of the usual problem that no one listens to kids, whenever she tries to talk about God, people send her to \"specialists.\" Worse yet, the latest trip to a specialist went horribly wrong, stranding her in remote Ithaca, New York, far from her home laboratory. So she must search for family in this strange country of lonely people, and despite what kings, priests, and scholars say about her, carry on heeding the voices in her head. But powerful forces stalk Rosie. A high technology firm is desperate to get her back before their rivals get a chance to study her. A government both threatened and tempted by the secrets she embodies needs them to stay secret - one way or another. And a powerful few who take prophesy very seriously are unwilling to let Rosie’s version of God interfere with their implementation of the scriptures. Rosetta’s allies are few. A fire investigator stumped by an eight foot circle of glass burned into concrete, an unhappily retired workaholic, a Pakistani woman on the run from the Taliban, and a restless university professor are all connected by the girl. But when each of them seems unable to cope with their own lives, how will they curb excesses of science, religion, and politics- and save a child?", "A sweeping narrative… Rosetta’s story touches on an array of timely themes, ranging from Christian fundamentalism to genetic engineering to domestic terrorism…A compelling mystery.", "– Kirkus Review" ]

[ "Explosive novel of Italy’s revolutionary 1969 by leading Italian novelist", "It was 1969, and temperatures were rising across the factories of the north as workers demanded better pay and conditions. Soon, discontent would erupt in what became known as Italy’s “Hot Autumn.” A young worker from the impoverished south arrives at Fiat’s Mirafiori factory in Turin, where his darker complexion begins to fade from the fourteen-hour workdays in sweltering industrial heat. He is frequently late for work, and sells his blood when money runs low. He fakes a crushed finger to win sick leave. His bosses try to withhold his wages. Our cynical, dry-witted narrator will not bend to their will. “I want everything, everything that’s owed to me,” he tells them. “Nothing more and nothing less, because you don’t mess with me.” Around him, students are holding secret meetings and union workers begin halting work on the assembly lines, crippling the Mirafiori factory with months of continuous strikes. Before long, barricades line the roads, tear gas wafts into private homes, and the slogan “We Want Everything” is ringing through the streets. Wrought in spare and measured prose, Balestrini’s novel depicts an explosive uprising. Introduced by Rachel Kushner, the author of the best-selling", "The Flamethrowers,", "We Want Everything", "is the incendiary fictional account of events that led to a decade of revolt." ]

Balestrini becomes a channel for the working-class narrator, who stands for all the Southern masses who come north to the car factories to participate in the Italian ‘economic miracle.’ It’s a book which charted a new course for fiction, one that deserves further exploration.”", "—Hari Kunzru, author of", "Gods Without Men", "“We would do well to study how it was that Balestrini made politics and fiction and art, all in once place … one of the most compelling pieces of literature of the entire second half of the twentieth century.”", "—Rachel Kushner,", "New Yorker", "“One of the best novels of 2016 … Nothing could seem further from or more relevant to our historical moment.”", "—", "Chicago Tribune", "“Only Balestrini … has succeeded in reconciling the tragic—epic spirit of the revolutionary movement and the ironic—combinatorial spirit of literary experimentation … [", "We Want Everything", "] is probably the most important Italian literary work of the 1960s.”", "—Franco “Bifo” Berardi, author of", "Heroes", "and", "The Soul at Work", "“", "We Want Everything", "dramatically and ecstatically captures a historical moment.

[ "Kakapo is crazy about karate. No student at her dojo tries harder or practices more. She loves the blocks, the strikes, the stances. And she especially loves the super-fast kicks: the running kicks, the jumping kicks, the side kicks ... but no amount of practice can help her conquer the elusive flying kick. You see, kakapos can't fly. Despite this, Kakapo works hard on everything else to perfect her skills. She has earned every belt from yellow to green to blue to red. And now it's time for the most difficult karate challenge of all: the black belt test. Kakapo is ready. After all, she has practiced as much as any bird could and mastered all the moves. Except that one, of course. But surely the senseis won't ask her to do a flying kick. Will they?Loredana Cunti's adorable Kakapo discovers (with a little help from a kind teacher!) that sometimes seeing a problem from a different perspective can help you solve it. It's a wonderful model for children facing obstacles in their own lives, and a great example of a growth mindset. It aligns with social studies lessons on self-awareness and personal development. Award-winning cartoonist Stacy Curtis's illustrations of a kakapo doing karate are hilarious and full of energy, and just might inspire some new students of karate (or other martial arts). The art was reviewed by a karate expert to ensure the moves are accurately portrayed. This playful and funny picture book is perfect for storytime. It also makes a great choice for character education lessons on self-discipline and perseverance." ]

Or foster its return.Richly illustrated with hundreds of photographs, letters, journal entries, competition documents, performance programs, and news-article excerpts spanning 50 years,", "Winterdanse ", "is not just about skiing, but about innovation, discovery, and the influence of contemporary culture on sport and art. It is about finding oneself on a road, a good road but not the right road, only to discern that the right road does not yet exist.

[ "From the Author", "IN", "DANCE MAGAZINE", "in 1982, Eleanor Rachel Luger wrote, \"...the 'ballet' in ballet skiing is adjectival.\" Had skiers esteemed the art of ballet, or had they grasped at least the importance of semantic accuracy, skiing's most creative discipline might have attained the age of majority. Except, as Ms. Luger further observed, \"Rather than evolving into a concert form, ballet skiing, like downhill skiing, evolved into a competitive sport.\"*More to the point: A form that scarcely knew itself was delivered into judgment by an industry that knew even less.Two outcomes were thereafter possible. \"Ballet\" skiing could morph by trial and error into a marketable competitive spectacle requiring participants to adapt to subjective criteria, or it could fizzle into obscurity. It accomplished the former for approximately one generation, then predictably earned the latter. Had its enthusiasts shunned the automaton-producing judges-with-scorecards recipe so plainly contrary to freestyle philosophy, a third outcome would have been possible: maturation into creative self-sufficiency. Whether at the level of a weekender skiing backwards for fun or of an instructor expanding a student's skier-to-snow awareness or of a performer interpreting a nocturne on a snowstage, the form would have—would deserve—life today.", "Winterdanse: The Misplaced Art of Snow Ballet", "contemplates such choices from the perspective of an athlete-artist's quest to present snow skiing's most creative and expressive discipline, simply and purely, as that.* \"Pliés on High Speed Slopes: Snow Dancing and Michael Russell,\"", "Dance Magazine", ", March 1982.", "About the Author", "Michael Russell was inspired by an exuberant mentor in high school to pursue writing and teaching as a dual career, but uninspiring university classes were interrupted by a higher calling.

This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Eaton County, Michigan, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s.

At the time these kits announced the amateurs’ renewed interest in French aircraft during the French Campaign, and the start of the first true series of purely French kits. This book also shows the make’s competitors and all the new boxes brought out under other names. Essential reading for all “plane” modelers." ]

Buddy likes his new surroundings, but he receives unexpected reactions from the animals that already live there: The other cats reject Buddy on the spot. Every time he tries to eat dinner with them, they chase him away. This rejection prompts him to hang out with two dogs, Keegan and Shelby, who generously and lovingly allow Buddy to eat with them and sleep on their bed.

[ "The Birth of a New Consciousness and the Cycles of Time", "The book deals with the development of human consciousness and the God-image through human history. We are at the threshold of a transitional period from the Age of Fishes (Pisces) to the Water-Bearer (Aquarius) Age. What is the role of humans in this New Age? What should we expect from this coming New Era? What are its symbols? What is the fate of human spirituality? What will be the new concepts of God and of religion? What will the new the God-image be? What will the role of organized religions be? When does the Water-Carrier Age start?", "This book attempts to answer these questions based on well researched sources complemented and endorsed by cosmology, archeology, depth psychology, religion, Near East studies, and mythology, among other scientific disciplines. The book also intends to clarify the epistemological terminology of the concepts “constellations” and “zodiacal ages” as well as the confusion created by some fundamentalist Protestant religious leaders and sensationalistic New Age writers, who have misinterpreted the signs of the transitional period as the end of the world. The truth is that there is no such thing as the end of the world, but the end of one world, the end of the Fishes’ Era, and the commencing of a new chapter in human history called the Water-Carrier (Aquarian) dispensation.", "A correct comprehension of the shift of cosmic ages is extremely important for humankind. This book empowers humans to be prepared to confront the psychological upheavals that entail the shift of ages; it gives the reader an accurate perspective regarding the planetary transformations that are currently taking place, and offers hope and inspiration as we approach the Golden Age of Water-Bearer." ]

[ "This magisterial work is a comparative history of three important revolutions in the Americas: the American Revolution in 1776, the 1791 slave revolt in the French colony that became Haiti, and the prolonged Spanish-American struggle for independence that ended a half century later. Lester Langley describes the movements and events that led to these wars of independence, explaining why revolution took one form in one place and a different form in another.Langley examines the political and social tensions reverberating throughout British, French, and Spanish America, pointing out the characteristics that distinguished each upheaval from the others: the impact of place or location on the course of revolution; the dynamics of race and color as well as class; the relation between leaders and followers; the strength of counterrevolutionary movements; and, especially, the way that militarization of society during war affected the new governments in the postrevolutionary era. Langley argues that an understanding of the legacy of the revolutionary age sheds tremendous light on the political condition of the Americas today: virtually every modern political issue―the relationship of the state to the individual, the effectiveness of government, the liberal promise for progress, and the persistence of color as a critical dynamic in social policy―was central to the earlier period." ]
