Hit Me by Lawrence Block Pdf

Bestselling author and grand master Lawrence Block returns to his deadliest hitman. A man named Nicholas Edwards lives in New Orleans renovating houses, doing honest work and making decent money at it. Between his family and his stamp collection, all his spare time is happily accounted for. Sometimes it's hard to remember that he used to kill people for a living. But when the nation's economy tanks, taking the construction business with it, all it takes is one phone call to drag him back into the game. It may say Nicholas Edwards on his driver's license and credit cards, but he's back to being the man he always was: Keller. Keller's work takes him to New York, the former home he hasn't dared revisit, where his target is the abbot of a midtown monastery. Another call puts him on a West Indies cruise, with several interesting fellow passengers -- the government witness, the incandescent young woman keeping the witness company, and, sharing Keller's cabin, his wife, Julia. But the high drama comes in Cheyenne, where a recent widow is looking to sell her husband's stamp collection . . . In Hit Me, legendary Edgar Grandmaster and New York Times bestselling author Lawrence Block returns to one of his most beloved characters. Welcome back, Keller. You've been missed.

I Am In Control by Shacara Thompson Curry Pdf

Do you desire to live your life to your greatest potential? Do you get in your own way because of fear of the unknown? I Am in Control is a book full of tools that I have used to overcome my struggles of self-doubt and self-worth. I realized that God's Word outlined everything I needed to understand the power I have within me, and I want you to understand that you pose that same power. We are people that are already equipped to do the things necessary to fulfill our purpose, yet so many of us do not live to see our greatest potential. Why? Because we doubt God. By doubting ourselves, we are doubting God's work. He tells us many times that we are already equipped. From birth, we were created with a plan. Our lives are not an accident but on purpose. We are not here to just exist. We are here to encourage. We are here to love. We are here to be evidence of God's existence. We are here to impact lives. We are here to do the work that God has assigned us to. I know that we don't always know what that work is initially. God has created us already equipped with a plan, so lean on those instincts that are within you, those gut pulls, those heavy desires on your heart, those visions that are constantly running in your head, those urges to do something amazing. Run with all of that. God has placed it in you. You must believe. You must act on those urges. You must move on those thoughts. You must have faith that God got you. You must know that you are equipped. You have to know that God makes no mistakes. You have to make the choice that you will walk in the promises that God has created for you. Through this book, I share my journey to this realization. I equip you with the tools I used to overcome myself. I pray that this helps you on your journey to living your best life.

The Boy Who Lives Next Door, And All His Friends by DDJ Pdf

Most people are unaware of just how many children there are with special needs. Perhaps the worst part about this is that most of these children do not seem any different from any other kid outwardly. In this book, the author explores her first hand experience with children whose friends, family, and neighbors have no idea just what is going on in the minds of a child with special needs. By having the children write about their own first-hand experiences in their own voice, the author is shedding light on what is for most people, still a taboo and unknown subject. So, come. Meet the boy next door. He’s just like you and me, only a little different.

Spare the Kids by Stacey Patton Pdf

A challenge to the cultural tradition of corporal punishment in Black homes and its connections to racial violence in America Why do so many African Americans have such a special attachment to whupping children? Studies show that nearly 80 percent of black parents see spanking, popping, pinching, and beating as reasonable, effective ways to teach respect and to protect black children from the streets, incarceration, encounters with racism, or worse. However, the consequences of this widely accepted approach to child-rearing are far-reaching and seldom discussed. Dr. Stacey Patton’s extensive research suggests that corporal punishment is a crucial factor in explaining why black folks are subject to disproportionately higher rates of school suspensions and expulsions, criminal prosecutions, improper mental health diagnoses, child abuse cases, and foster care placements, which too often funnel abused and traumatized children into the prison system. Weaving together race, religion, history, popular culture, science, policing, psychology, and personal testimonies, Dr. Patton connects what happens at home to what happens in the streets in a way that is thought-provoking, unforgettable, and deeply sobering. Spare the Kids is not just a book. It is part of a growing national movement to provide positive, nonviolent discipline practices to those rearing, teaching, and caring for children of color.

Bigga Yankee by Big T Pdf

As I tell you my story based on true events, I fill in the blanks with my imagination. I use real-life situations in detail because I have been there. Maybe this story can change some young men or women’s mind about something. This is real. These are the stages I have gone through. I have been there, and I have seen and done too much. It’s only by the grace of God, Allah, or whatever you call him that I’m still here on earth to tell you this story. God has a plan for all of us; pay attention to the signs. I want to show that education is the most important thing. Learn today; earn tomorrow. Appreciate school, trades, and books. Everyone can be successful with legal hard work; we don’t have to steal, rob, or sell drugs. And doing drugs will take our mind, body, money, and freedom if we’re lucky; if not, it will take our lives. All we have to do is have goals and plans and stick with them through thick and thin. We have to try things; we have to be in it to win it.

Narrating a Psychology of Resistance by Shelly Grabe Pdf

The Movimiento Autónomo de Mujeres (Women's Autonomous Movement) in Nicaragua - birthed in part from the Sandinista Revolution of the 1980s - represents one of the largest, most diverse, and most autonomous women's movements in all of Latin America. While it's true that scholars across a wide range of disciplines have written invariably about this social movement (and have been instrumental in arguing that these women are not mere victims, but individuals who have worked hard to resist oppression and fight injustice for decades) what remains missing from this body of work is scholarship aimed at understanding, specifically, the psychology of resistance; in other words, what are the psychological mechanisms and methodologies that emerge from the margins that determine the kind of social action that revolutionizes societies? Investigating the psychosocial processes behind resistance is critical to understanding a commitment to justice and the development of subjectivity necessary for enacting the political activity required for social transformation. Psychology, in particular, as author Shelly Grabe argues, is positioned to engage in a systematic exploration of the links between social and political conditions that determine how, why, and under what circumstances resistance emerges. Narrating a Psychology of Resistance documents the first-hand accounts of the Nicaraguan women's Movimiento: a coordinated mobilization of women that has weathered unremitting power differentials characterized by patriarchy and capitalism. In this collection of testimonios, Grabe gives voice to these extraordinary women and closely examines how psychological processes that emerge in response to sociopolitical oppression can lead to gendered justice and the revolutionizing of societies at large.
