Book excerpt: Every day, all over the world from the United States to Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, we experience an interesting phenomenon. People of all cultures, races, ages and stages of life have children. Children with an array of eye color. Children with varied hair color. Children who are short in stature, and those who are toall. Children who are scale tippers; and those who barely register any weight at all. All a wonderful mystery until they travel from the womb into the world, and then onto stages of life. But what if people could choose the family which they are birthed into. Like we choose who to marry, where to live or work, and even when to accept Chirst. Most choices we make have exit strategies in the event it doesnt work as planned. Why not a family?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appreciation, what is it? Is it synonymous with wisdom? Job 28:34 says, 'where is the place of wisdom, man knows not the place thereof' could this be the same definition of appreciation? Many of us have coined the cliché 'I appreciate you' - so what are we truly saying...umh! It causes one to think -- if I've included this phrase in my list of clichés then I need to know what it really means when I use it. The Webster Dictionary defines appreciation as - adding value. How would you define appreciation? Then, how do you add value to someone or something? What are you bringing to the table that would add additional value to a person or event? We make many statements that we have no application for. How do we appreciate? Is there a formula for appreciation? Is it a desire, or is it something we say just to sound nice? The questions are endless. This book is not designed to be limited to only understanding appreciation, but also to trigger your thinking about quoting and re-quoting clichés that are never backed up with action. There are several practical exercises included in this book that are designed to build your life in this area. Does the ability to appreciate at 'Eye-Level' exist? Are we appreciating at 'Eye-Level' with future thoughts in mind? What is the potential of the moment or event? You can't add value for a future event without acknowledging the moment that currently exists. Let's look further...

This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Edward W. Wynkoop arrived in Colorado Territory during the 1858 gold rush, he was one of many ambitious newcomers seeking wealth in a promising land mostly inhabited by American Indians. After he worked as a miner, sheriff, bartender, and land speculator, Wynkoop’s life drastically changed after he joined the First Colorado Volunteers to fight for the Union during the Civil War. This sympathetic but critical biography centers on his subsequent efforts to prevent war with Indians during the volatile 1860s. A central theme of Louis Kraft’s engaging narrative is Wynkoop’s daring in standing up to Anglo-Americans and attempting to end the 1864 Indian war. The Indians may have been dangerous enemies obstructing “progress,” but they were also human beings. Many whites thought otherwise, and at daybreak on November 29, 1864, the Colorado Volunteers attacked Black Kettle’s sleeping camp. Upon learning of the disaster now known as the Sand Creek Massacre, Wynkoop was appalled and spoke out vehemently against the action. Many of his contemporaries damned his views, but Wynkoop devoted the rest of his career as a soldier and then as a U.S. Indian agent to helping Cheyennes and Arapahos to survive. The tribes’ lifeways still centered on the dwindling herds of buffalo, but now they needed guns to hunt. Kraft reveals how hard Wynkoop worked to persuade the Indian Bureau to provide the tribes with firearms along with their allotments of food and clothing—a hard sell to a government bent on protecting white settlers and paving the way for American expansion. In the wake of Sand Creek, Wynkoop strove to prevent General Winfield Scott Hancock from destroying a Cheyenne-Sioux village in 1867, only to have the general ignore him and start a war. Fearing more innocent people would die, Wynkoop resigned from the Indian Bureau but, not long thereafter, receded into obscurity. Now, thanks to Louis Kraft, we may appreciate Wynkoop as a man of conscience who dared to walk between Indians and Anglo-Americans but was often powerless to prevent the tragic consequences of their conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece of linguistics scholarship, at once erudite and entertaining, confronts the thorny question of how—and whether—culture shapes language and language, culture Linguistics has long shied away from claiming any link between a language and the culture of its speakers: too much simplistic (even bigoted) chatter about the romance of Italian and the goose-stepping orderliness of German has made serious thinkers wary of the entire subject. But now, acclaimed linguist Guy Deutscher has dared to reopen the issue. Can culture influence language—and vice versa? Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts? Could our experience of the world depend on whether our language has a word for "blue"? Challenging the consensus that the fundaments of language are hard-wired in our genes and thus universal, Deutscher argues that the answer to all these questions is—yes. In thrilling fashion, he takes us from Homer to Darwin, from Yale to the Amazon, from how to name the rainbow to why Russian water—a "she"—becomes a "he" once you dip a tea bag into her, demonstrating that language does in fact reflect culture in ways that are anything but trivial. Audacious, delightful, and field-changing, Through the Language Glass is a classic of intellectual discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columba Marmion believes that Christian discipleship means imitating Christ the Monk no matter your walk or way of life. Christ is the divine model presented by God himself , the ideal of all holiness. By faith, we accept this holiness into our lives—but we must also allow Christ Jesus to become “the very life of our souls.” This book, an abridged edition of the original, explores how this is possible by examining the writings of St. Paul and St. John in the light of the Gospels and, offering spiritual understanding to any Christian’s religious life. Christ, the Ideal of the Monk sold 100,000 copies when it was published 90 years ago, one of many bestselling books written by the popular Irish-born monk, Columba Marmion, OSB, (1858-1923). He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000.
