In the year 2000 I thought I had life pretty much figured out, at least for a guy who had spent the last 16 years paralyzed and permanently confined to a wheelchair. As the survivor of a horrific car accident at age 19, I had rolled through some pretty rough territory, enduring not only hostile physical landscapes, but hostile attitudes of those around me as well. I was tougher than most, or so I thought; but all of that changed the day I became a step parent. It is the year 2000, and I have become the Master of my disabled realm: I can pop up and down steep curbs in my wheelchair and make it look like childs play. I can disassemble and pack my wheelchair into my car in under 30 seconds flat. I can swim 1000 yards non-stop in under thirty minutes using only my arms for propulsion. I can push on these wheels longer and harder than anybody, all day long, for as long as I need to without uttering a single complaint. Yet how in the world am I going to change the diaper of this kicking, screaming two year old that Ive been left alone with for the first time? How on earth am I supposed to chase this tender Kindergartener up the stairs after he has just made off with my $200 pair of Oakley sunglasses? And what will I do the day they figure out that they can take me out of action completely by tipping me over backwards in my wheelchair? They Call Me Wheels is my story, how I fell in love with my future wife Elizabeth and virtually overnight became a wheelchair-bound stepparent to her two young sons, Josh and Ben; embarking upon the most arduous, terrifying, and at the same time the most extraordinary and satisfying adventure Ive had yet to experience. Wheels (the nickname given to me by the cocky, disbelieving cronies of Elizabeths ex husband) chronicles a three year span where I literally roll slap-dash and headlong into the unknown; at times Im frustrated, foiled and ready to throw in the towel, but in the end I am actually beginning to believe that I just might be making a difference in the lives of my newly acquired family - that is, until its my turn to give Josh the dreaded Puberty Talk.

Iliad, my main character who suffers from amnesia after being shot by a pervert, is now pursued by another. Toerch is his name a man who will go to any extreme to get his way and his sights are on Iliad. So far she' managed to best him at every encounter they've had. But with every set-back, he's found new ways of retaliating. The last incident was especially hurtful for Iliad because the man shot two of her friends. One of them was Diana's brother, a policeman from California visiting her. The other was Trixie, a friend, who in the ensuing death struggle managed to put them both in the river. The raging waters separate the struggling duo and Toerch is picked up by Mahogany, an acquaintance of his. She takes him to the nearest hospital, but when he realizes she's done, getting out of there becomes a priority. He devices a clever plan and with her help, he's gone long before the law discover his whereabouts. Every officer in Athens wants to get their hands on Toerch, as does Iliad.

They Call Me Carpenter written by Upton Sinclair and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1922 with California categories.
By using Jesus, or Carpenter as Sinclair calls him, as a literary figure, Sinclair exposes the new and upcoming culture of 1920's Southern California, namely Hollywood. The story takes place in the fictional city of Western City, and begins with a man named Billy being attacked by a mob outside of a theater after watching a German film. Billy then stumbles into a church and is visited by Carpenter, a.k.a. Jesus, who walks out of a stained glass window. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by the upper-class culture. The story then roughly follows the biblical account of the Ministry of Jesus Christ. In the end, Carpenter decides to escape the corroded culture by jumping back into the stained glass window from whence he came.

Have you ever danced on a dead mans chest or peeked into a crypt at a dead mans face? Have you ever soared over a valley like an eagle, only without wings; or watched an Indian Chief in full warriors dress thunder towards you on a great white stallion? How about proving without a doubt that Santa Claus is real, or maybe you have played with a live pacific coast rattle snake with your bare hands? Everyone has their own adventures and experiences to remember as they grow older, and most probably look back upon those memories with fondness. Bubbins was blessed with being born at a time and place in the world where his freedom of movement was virtually wide open, and with parents and a society who allowed such freedom with very few restrictions. When you peer into a mirror-smooth pond, you discover someone there looking back at you. Is it you? Is it who you were-or is it who you are now? Perhaps it might be who you will become. Take this journey with me; let us peer into the Reflections of Time and discover for ourselves the answers to those questions.

This book is designed to help you raise your vibration. It is my second book my first is titled The Three Temples. I have tried as best as possible to make it universal so anyone at any level can appreciate it and learn something from it. It can help with weight loss, addictions, rehabilitation and at the same time also help enlighten you. All though I was very spiritual in the beginning I eventually had to overcome these challenges myself. It teaches contentment, I say state of mind is everything and I call contentment the ultimate cure. This is the 5th edition and I have added 10 interesting chapters. This book is especially for the rehabilitation of prisoners and people with poor mental health to assist in recovering. It could also be useful in educating kids about the dangers of drugs leading to addiction, mental illness then possibly crime and therefore doing time and then having to recover. It could help them avoid similar fates and wasting a lot of money and part of their lives. Be warned the devil can use drugs and alcohol to try and destroy you. I originally created this book for Covid to help people cope with lockdown which was easy for me after spending many years in prison hospitals and institutions. Some of the principles and concepts are based on experiences I’ve had and learnt in a long recovery. It teaches “Total Contentment”, a very high level of consciousness which is a very beautiful experience. Finding Total Contentment is how you then become An Azure Warrior a good spiritual healer and enlightened most of the time. This book can help you become more content. At times you may be so content and high that you may feel like you don’t need anything being hardly even hungry, that is, if you ascend to that level of consciousness. I generally only eat one meal a day now, it's good for cell health, weight loss, well-being and longevity. Buddhist monks have been practicing this lifestyle for millennia and they find contentment and few ailments. Fasting can be healing and enlightening. This is an evolution and another step for humanity to find total contentment and become a higher power yourself. Anyone can benefit from reading this book you don’t have to be struggling. It’s quite insightful. All the best on your quest!!! Sweet up I say!!! wwwazurewarriors.com

In And Out Of This World written by Stephen C. Finley and has been published by Duke University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-10-24 with Religion categories.
With In and Out of This World Stephen C. Finley examines the religious practices and discourses that have shaped the Nation of Islam (NOI) in America. Drawing on the speeches and writing of figures such as Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Warith Deen Mohammad, and Louis Farrakhan, Finley shows that the NOI and its leaders used multiple religious symbols, rituals, and mythologies meant to recast the meaning of the cosmos and create new transcendent and immanent black bodies whose meaning cannot be reduced to products of racism. Whether examining how the myth of Yakub helped Elijah Muhammad explain the violence directed at black bodies, how Malcolm X made black bodies in the NOI publicly visible, or the ways Farrakhan’s discourses on his experiences with the Mother Wheel UFO organize his interpretation of black bodies, Finley demonstrates that the NOI intended to retrieve, reclaim, and reform black bodies in a context of antiblack violence.
