Lessons Learned on My Way Home by Gloria Lewis-Vaughn Pdf

Lessons Learned on My Way Home is the autobiography of Gloria Lewis Vaughn. Lessons allows the reader to visit some of the rooms of Gloria's life, to experience through her story the joys of childhood once again, to cheer as, like the Phoenix, she rises from the snare of addiction to the heights of redemption, while sharing universal lessons learned along the way. Lessons gives the glory to God, and to the reader valuable glimpses of practical application. From forgiveness, to deliverance, to gratitude and beyond, Lessons holds the mirror and gives not only a look at the author but a glimpse of oneself as well. "Gloria Lewis Vaughn reflects her rich experience growing up in a large family with strong parents. She captivates the reader with her passionate account of a wavering soul who initially resisted God's special calling. Her work is beautiful." -James Patterson Editorial Writer, Indianapolis Star "Vaughn's first work is a sparkling account of one woman's attempt to find her life in the modern urban wilderness. Her memory of family sustains her through great peril, and she engagingly recollects scenes of her home during childhood. With verve and whole-hearted enthusiasm she sets out on the ancient path taken by Augustine, Francis of Assissi, and St. John of the Cross. Vaughn's street-wise savvy gets tangled up with her burning quest for God in ways that are both hilarious and awe-inspiring." -Robert Coalson Editor, Broad Ripple Laser Type

Finding My Way Home by John Houston Pdf

After many years of searching, John Houston found his way home—his true home. Now, he wants to help you do the same. John Houston has spent the past sixteen years building for others what he didn’t always have for himself growing up: a family home. Today, John is one of the premier custom home builders in Texas. Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you see signs proudly presenting “John Houston Custom Homes” that paint a picture of the kind of home life John would have done anything to have as a child. From a young age, home was not a place where John wanted to be. After his parents divorced and his mother moved out, his father remarried and moved in with his new family. John and his older brother struggled to adjust and began living by themselves with little to no adult supervision at the ages of 11 and 15. They helped support themselves financially by working long hours running a lawncare business before and after school. The years that followed were challenging but also marked by God’s protection, even when John didn’t realize it, as he overcame hardships that could have permanently derailed his life. He met and married the woman of his dreams, completed his education and became a respected and successful business owner. And he isn’t confused for one second about who’s ultimately responsible for his success: God. In Finding My Way Home, John Houston reflects on a life of trials, hardships, and painful mistakes through the lens of gratitude for God’s enduring faithfulness. He explains, “God created a story with my life that puts a spotlight on His mercy and grace—a story of my anger and His forgiveness; of the broken family I grew up in and His restoration; of my demanding ‘leadership’ as a husband and father and His model for me to lead with love.”

Let me tell you what I've learned by PJ Pierce Pdf

Barbara Jordan spoke for many Texas women when she told a reporter, "I get from the soil and spirit of Texas the feeling that I, as an individual, can accomplish whatever I want to, and that there are no limits, that you can just keep going, just keep soaring. I like that spirit." Indeed, the sense of limitless possibilities has inspired countless Texas women—sometimes in the face of daunting obstacles—to build lives rich in work, family, friends, faith, and community involvement. In this collection of interviews conducted by PJ Pierce, twenty-five Texas women ranging in age from 53 to 93 share the wisdom they've acquired through living unconventional lives. Responding to the question "What have you found that really matters about life?" they offer keen insights into motherhood, career challenges, being a minority, marriage and widowhood, anger, assertiveness, managing change, persevering, power, speaking out, fashioning success from failure, writing your own job description, loving a younger man, and recognizing opportunities disguised as disaster—to name only a few of their topics. In her introduction, Pierce describes how she came to write the book and how she chose her subjects to represent a cross-section of career paths and ethnic groups and all geographic areas of Texas. A topical index makes it easy to compare several women's views on a given subject.

What the Dogs Have Taught Me by Merrill Markoe Pdf

Award-winning comedy writer Merrill Markoe, the slightly warped mind behind Stupid Pet Tricks, is an old hand with dogs. She knows who’s boss (they are) and the myriad ways a loving pet can make you feel guilty twenty-four hours a day. This new edition of Merrill Markoe’s classic collection of humorous essays gives readers the choicest selections along with brand-new material. In these razor-sharp essays, Markoe recounts her dogs’ phone chats with animal communicators, her search for past lives, and her brief stint as a stun gun saleswoman. She describes the workshop that taught her how to launch an Internet porn business and another that gave proper instruction in the esoteric art of becoming a dominatrix. She shares insight into what it is like to structure your day using only dog rules, how to spot a really horrible restaurant, and what it’s like to have a romantic dinner with Fabio. There’s even a bright side to preparing for the apocalypse: “At last, it is time to forget about fat grams and low cholesterol.” This enchantingly rambunctious and boundlessly enjoyable book gives you Merrill Markoe at her best. You’ll devour it in one sitting (and so may your pet).

My Way Home by Sue Varley Pdf

For millennia, humans have grappled with the mystery of what happens after death. What becomes of our essence? Do we extinguish completely when our physical bodies cease to exist, or is there something beyond the physical; a soul that never dies? Sue Varley shares her experiences with the spiritual world in her memoir My Way Home. From childhood, Sue saw and felt things that were otherwise considered outside the realm of possibility. These paranormal events occurring in her life, pushed her forward on a spiritual journey. This journey eventually led her to become an intuitive reader, a medium, and a Reiki practitioner. As Sue opened her heart, mind, and spirit to the metaphysical world, she gained a clearer understanding of our physical world. We all hope that when our loved ones die, there is a better existence out there for them. Sue’s many experiences show proof of life after death and that the veil between these two worlds is thinner and more accessible than we could ever imagine. Her life’s path helps to ease our concerns about where our loved ones go, and what we can expect when it is our time to return . . . Home.
