Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people face challenges and problems in their life. In this inspiring account of a Christian couple's race together on the 'track of life', challenges are viewed as "hurdles to jump". One More Hurdle to Jump reveals how Pastor Pat and Lois Thompson overcome life's challenges with faith and hope in the God they love and served together for 33 years. In their third decade together, they faced the death of their oldest son in a car accident; Lois's breast cancer; their daughter's cancer, diagnosed when she was 22 weeks pregnant; and Pat's cancer, which ultimately claimed his death in 2011. The presence and power of God in their lives is undeniable, despite their loss, grief and suffering. Their remarkable story begins with how Pat and Lois meet and are destined by God to run their races in life together. As they face hurdles, Lois shares how they are helped to jump, by their coach, Jesus. The book also highlights the importance of the team in supporting fellow athletes jump whatever hurdles they may face in their race of life. This book is for anyone searching for answers on how to overcome life's challenges, where God is in life's suffering, and how to overcome the hurdles of life, yet come out a winner.

Book excerpt: This true story gives you a glimpse into my tumultuous life from childhood to the present. You will read about my ever-changing life in Europe, my challenges, insecurities, and bad choices, as well as my hopes and dreams that were crushed, then reborn. You will learn how I found courage that came out of suffering and, finally, happiness that came from the knowledge that I had survived. You will read about why I was forced to leave my beloved native country and how I tried to adapt to other countries and cultures. With each challenge, a stronger person emerged. This book is the story of the triumph of my life, while it so easily could have been a sad story with a tragic ending. Each reader will discover a chapter he or she can relate to. Some women who are stuck in unhappy lives might realize that they do not have to stay in that position. Maybe reading my book will empower them. It will let them know they are not alone and there is always a way out. With enough determination, it can be done. There is also something for the men: action, travels, and, yes, a murder . . . But more than that, my story will tell you how a man can have an enormous influence in a woman's life, and how the lack of his love can destroy, but the presence of his love can heal her. It is all about CHOICES. It is my hope that this is a book you cannot put down and that it will make you grateful for the wonderful gift of life. It is up to us to create our own story, no matter what hand life deals us.

Book excerpt: IF IT'S MEANT TO BE… When preacher's daughter Spring Kirkland left snowy Wisconsin for sunny Florida, a rekindled romance was the last thing on her mind. On a mission to save her beloved mother's life, Spring meant to uncover a well-guarded family secret. But in doing so, she unexpectedly unearthed a long-buried yearning…. A decade ago, Marco Da Palma had convinced himself that Spring was beyond his reach. Now here she was, still single—and as alluring as ever. A successful physician, Marco had far more to offer her this time around. If only he dared believe that the one thing that mattered was the one thing he'd had all along: a heart full of love….

Book excerpt: According to the recent United States Census, there are 650,000 same-sex couple households in the U.S., and an estimated one-quarter of those households are raising children. In the past few years, several states across the nation have passed Freedom to Marry bills for same-sex couples. But even with the rise in recognition of LGBTQ families, acceptance has not necessarily followed. Unfortunately, young adults in LGBTQ families encounter many challenges, from derision by their peers to the embarrassment of being perceived as different. LGBTQ Families: The Ultimate Teen Guide focuses on the difficulties young people face as members of households in which one or more members are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, or queer/questioning. This book offers encouragement, insights, and resources to help them cope with and embrace the uniqueness of their family life. Teens and adults from LGBTQ families—and teens who identify as LGBTQ themselves—tell their personal stories and share strategies they use to deal with a sometimes unaccepting society. Topics discussed include politics, religion, media, and bullying. Aimed at young adults with LGBTQ parents, teens who identify as LGBTQ, those who support LGBTQs, and anyone wanting to educate themselves on the topic, this book will broaden understanding and enable teens and their peers to embrace the diversity of the modern family.

Book excerpt: There is a pressing need for a balanced account outlining what DeFi actually means for investors, banks and the finance industry. Why DeFi Matters cuts through the jargon and the hype to help people make more informed decisions in this space. It examines the evolution of DeFi and cryptocurrencies, analysing what it means for investors and the future of finance. It also outlines the developments that truly matter, distinguishing between longer-term trends and fads, and is a must-read for finance professionals, organizations and investors interested in moving into DeFi. Why DeFi Matters explores the rise of DeFi and provides focused, balanced analysis about this alternative financial system that is being built and how it will coexist with banks, institutions and traditional finance. It examines the aspects of DeFi that will materially change financial systems and how they will alter the nature of purchasing, lending, insurance and banking; the role of web3 and the metaverse in the new era of finance; and its role in the democratization of finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is less than a "who done it" and more of "why did he do it" and "where did he get it." Why would an 83-year-old Catholic bookkeeper leave a fortune to a Jewish Synagogue? Where did he get the millions he left? Where is his family? This book shows that the drama of a civil lawsuit is every bit as dramatic as any criminal trial, and that people will fight for money every bit as hard as they will fight for freedom or for their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1939, a ten-year-old Igor Golomstock accompanied his mother, a medical doctor, to the vast network of labour camps in the Russian Far East. While she tended patients, he was minded by assorted 'trusty' prisoners – hardened criminals – and returned to Moscow an almost feral adolescent, fluent in obscene prison jargon but intellectually ignorant. Despite this dubious start he became a leading art historian and co-author (with his close friend Andrey Sinyavsky) of the first, deeply controversial, monograph on Picasso published in the Soviet Union. His writings on his 43 years in the Soviet Union offer a rare insight into life as a quietly subversive art historian and the post-Stalin dissident community. In vivid prose Golomstock shows the difficulties of publishing, curating and talking about Western art in Soviet Russia and, with self-deprecating humour, the absurd tragicomedy of life for the Moscow intelligentsia during Khruschev's thaw and Brezhnev's stagnation. He also offers a unique personal perspective on the 1966 trial of Sinyavsky and Yuri Daniel, widely considered the end of Khruschev's liberalism and the spark that ignited the Soviet dissident movement. In 1972 he was given 'permission' to leave the Soviet Union, but only after paying a 'ransom' of more than 25 years' salary, nominally intended to reimburse the state for his education. A remarkable collection of artists, scholars and intellectuals in Russia and the West, including Roland Penrose, came together to help him pay this astronomical sum. His memoirs of life once in the UK offer an insider's view of the BBC Russian Service and a penetrating analysis of the notorious feud between Sinyavsky and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Nominated for the Russian Booker Prize on its publication in Russian in 2014, The Ransomed Dissident opens a window onto the life of a remarkable man: a dissident of uncompromising moral integrity and with an outstanding gift for friendship.

Book excerpt: Jacks Journey is one mans story of the surprising discovery of grace in the mistakes, failures, and heartaches of life. Jack tells of a ten-year journey of self-discovery and healing in the everyday and sacred places of grace. Soon after his fortieth birthday, his happy world crumbled into a sea of heartache and disappointment, which escalated in spite of every endeavor he made to get things right again. Mistake followed mistake, one failure leading to another. Eventually he came to terms with the grief all around him and accepted his misfortune as an opportunity to re-order his life. He discovered the resources he needed to heal in four places of grace: By interpreting and understanding the adverse circumstances of his life through the experiences of an initiation and ancient rites of passage. By re-identifying with the grief, heartache, disappointment, and failure of the great men and women of God, as told in the Old and New Testament stories. By working through the vigorous discipline required by the church and by experiencing amazing unconditional love and acceptance through the church. By experiencing the loyalty and love of family and friends. The road to healing and wholeness is long and winding, with many unexpected twists and turns. All too often, the wind was blowing, not from behind but into Jacks face, and the journey was a long and painful one. His story is a testimony that despite the difficulty and longevity of emotional healing, grace to heal abounds; that the very things that have gone wrong become the seeds of the new life to come; and that the secret of love, which is joy, is discovered in the depths of ones suffering and despair.
