An Atomic Fairy Tale of Youth and Love "Randolph didn''t know if her hand was warm or not. Because up until that moment, he had never touched another human being. But the skin of her hand was very smooth and soft, like it was made to be held." When the powerplant opened, lives were changed and destroyed forever. And the only boy to have survived its nuclear wrath is now cursed to a life of lonely exile. But when Randolph befriends a strange girl one day, he learns there may be hope for happiness after all, and he''ll do everything he can for them both to have it.

A lively story about dying, a mind-bending thriller and a pitch-black comedy. "The message is why you keep the gun under your pillow. Everyday you become more accustomed to the lump. You are glad when you survive your sneezes. But one time, a cough destroys the lamp on the nightstand." You are a nobody, just another somebody. So why does an odd stranger approach you one day with a peculiar and ominous message? Is it a misunderstanding? A warning? A dire threat? The world seems as normal as ever, so why can you not shake the feeling that you are now locked in a dark countdown to your own horrific doom?

A Classic Tale of Adventure and Terror“You have entered a world of death, but do not want to die. No treasure on earth is worth facing the Yeti.”In the year 1850, a British caravan crossing the Himalayan Mountains from India into China has vanished, along with its priceless treasure. Now the race is on to reclaim the lost fortune as a pair of intrepid soldiers - a virtuous African private and a daring British corporal - spearhead their own mission to seize the prize by betraying their fellow troops. On this epic adventure, each man''s will, character and fortitude will be challenged to survive the perilous quest as they battle the wrath of the vengeful English army, the fury of the native bandits, the greed of their cutthroat accomplices, and the harsh, frozen hell of the alpine peaks. And the only other obstacle to their success is a savage beast of mythical power.

This book provides a brief introduction to what is variously called "faith-based," "congregation-based," and "institution-based" community organizing. Grounded in a composite case study of an actual organizing effort, it shows how local communities can be organized for power. Key organizing concepts and strategies are illustrated with stories of real encounters with leaders, communities, and powerful opposition figures. In the approach described here, civic and religious institutions come together to give the community a collective voice. Organizers help a community build a powerful organization rooted in core values of democracy and the social justice teachings of the world''s great religious traditions. Saul Alinsky developed the foundations of the tradition of organizing described here, an approach that remains dominant in the U.S. today. Alinsky rooted power deeply in the lives, relationships and institutions of marginalized and oppressed people. In his early organizing days, his organizations brought together a wide range of institutions: religious congregations and labor unions, as well as mutual aid, self-help, athletic, sororal and fraternal, neighborhood and other voluntary associations. By the late 1970s, as non-congregational neighborhood associations fell into decline, organizers in the Alinsky tradition started looking more carefully at how to sustain the vibrancy of the religious institutions that remained. Organizers sought to help congregation members become co-creators, rather than consumers, of the life of their churches, and worked to help members connect their faith more directly to action in the world. In this way, they helped make both faith and the action more meaningful. This little book tells the story of one congregation that was a member of a "broadly-based community organization," and how a community organizer assisted its development as a true community.

The difficult places and distressing conditions we encounter in life can seem to be unmanageable, overwhelming & even life threatening. Why then did Jesus tell us "Be of Good Cheer" in the face of all these things? How is that possible when presented with a prognosis of death or destruction? In this book, you will discover that Jesus has already been to each and every place you will ever be and has preconditioned each circumstance to provide you with a favorable outcome. He has indeed FINISHED the work! "Let not your heart be troubled - neither let it be afraid" - John 14:27

Acrostics - many think of the puzzle, clues, answered in numbers spaces, transferred to a grid, resulting in a message. Well, Acrostic Poems are different.

Or read the first letter of each word in the following sentence: Any Challenge Requires Outside Study To Inform Completely.

In his final year of college at Middle State University, senior Chris Warren finds that the courses he needs to graduate are not offered and he will have to return to school for an extra year. As he and Dr. Brumley, a sympathetic instructor, try to remedy the situation, they confront the indifference and increasing hostility of the university administration, whose members, as well as most of Brumley''s colleagues at Middle State, are committed largely to their careers and to rising in the university hierarchy. Or as one student has it, to kicking ass from a swivel chair. In their year-long attempt to find justice, Warren and Brumley encounter most of the follies and perversions of modern academia. Collect athletics, the current lunacy of literary studies, student apathy and inability, the menace of particular biological and physical science research, corporate influence in higher education, the dominance of computers - all are targets of Middle State''s satire. But behind them is the larger issue: What is an education for?

"The rise and fall of the multi-issue Mission Coalition Organization is recounted in [this book], a richly detailed story of people power set in San Francisco''s predominantly Latino Mission District. ... [T]he organization defeated urban renewal, negotiated jobs for the unemployed, and protected low-income tenants from exorbitant rents until it was ultimately weakened by federal "Model Cities" funding. Embodying the concept ... that "change comes from below" and combining colorful stories, lessons on organizaing for social and economic justice, public policy analysis, a keen eye for American politics, and reflection on democratic theory, this is a thoughtful and hopeful antidote to cynicism, apathy, and powerlessness."--Back cover.
