From the Rearview Mirror by Bill Milliken Pdf

“Bill Milliken is a rare human being who possesses heart, wisdom, and compassion. Read From the Rearview Mirror and relish the goodness of this man.” — Goldie Hawn, entertainer and philanthropist From the Rearview Mirror is the story of Bill Milliken’s journey from an affluent Pittsburgh suburb to the streets of Harlem and the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1960s, on to communal living in Georgia in the 1970s, to working with multiple presidential administrations in Washington, D.C. He struggled with an undiagnosed learning disability in school, believing he was dumb and had nowhere to go. After connecting with the Young Life outreach program at the age of 17, however, he found his calling doing street work with homeless, addicted, and other at-risk teens in the turbulent ’60s. Bill and his colleagues founded what grew into Communities in Schools, a highly effective organization working to bring services to young people and prevent them from dropping out of school. Along the way, Bill struggled with bringing his personal life into alignment with his ideals, coming to terms with organized religion and his own spiritual path, and creating the family and community he’d always longed for.

From the Rearview Mirror by Joseph M. Horvath Pdf

It was September 1983 when Joseph Horvath began questioning whether he belonged at Culver Academies, a boarding-prep-military private school in Indiana. A veteran public school teacher but new to private boarding school life, Horvath struggled to find his niche and embrace the notion that the staff and students were family. Yet it was not long before private lessons with a student led him to realize he did indeed belong. In a candid memoir, Horvath chronicles his thirty-four years teaching at the Culver Academies while offering insights into his experiences both in and out of the classroom. As he details his encounters with students as he guided them through lessons, Horvath shines a light on how educators coach their pupils to greatness and belief in their abilities through patience, time, and gentle encouragement. Throughout his story, Horvath reveals the challenges, and poignant and humorous moments that teachers often face on a daily basis while contemplating those who most influenced him in his own journey. From the Rearview Mirror shares reflections from a seasoned educator as he looks back on his tenure at Culver Academies in Indiana.

Waking Up Slowly by Dave Burchett Pdf

What if we are stubbing our toes on the sacred every day and not realizing it? We are the most connected culture in history but arguably the most disconnected from the awareness of God’s presence. Waking Up Slowly is author Dave Burchett’s personal challenge to live “in the moment” and find the everyday joys he misses in disconnected busyness. What moments of joy do we inadvertently miss as we stare at our screens? What performance idols destroy our ability to appreciate God’s gifts? Dave Burchett sets out to find out how life might look differently if he awoke each morning consciously looking for the easy to miss “postcards from God.” Waking Up Slowly is an intimate, warm, and touching story of discovering how to more fully appreciate living in the moment. During his discovery, the author finds regular reminders of daily joys from his Labrador pal, Maggie. Waking Up Slowly challenges the reader to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the ways that God reveals himself daily. Through regular people, everyday situations, cuddly creatures, and stunning nature, God’s presence is real and discoverable. We just need to wake up to it.
