One Small Pebble . . . A Thousand Ripples by Les Gee Pdf

Ravaged by political instability and famine, 1930s' southern China offered very little hope for a fatherless young boy gathering pig dung for fertilizer. Follow his odyssey as a "paper son" immigrant to Gum Shan ("Golden Mountain"⸺America) in pursuit of a better destiny for himself and his future family. Experience his challenges in assimilating to Western culture, his obstacles imposed by the Chinese Exclusion Act, and his seven-year separation from his new bride and daughter, left behind amidst World War II. Cheer him on as he reunites with and brings his wife "home to America" and builds an unimaginably successful business in the Bay Area of Northern California. Through this business, he not only provided abundance for his wife and their six children, but also sponsored more than fifty immigrant families in their own quests for a better future. Embrace the powerful human instinct of "paying it forward."

Understanding Chinese GDP by Xuguang Song Pdf

This book provides in-depth analyses on accounting methods of GDP, statistic calibers and comparative perspectives on Chinese GDP. Beginning with an exploration of international comparisons of GDP, the book introduces the theoretical backgrounds, data sources, algorithms of the exchange rate method and the purchasing power parity method and discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and the latest developments in the two methods. This book further elaborates on the reasons for the imperfections of the Chinese GDP data including limitations of current statistical techniques and the accounting system, as well as the relatively confusing statistics for the service industry. The authors then make suggestions for improvement. Finally, the authors emphasize that evaluation of a country’s economy and social development should not be solely limited to GDP, but should focus more on indicators of the comprehensive national power, national welfare, and the people’s livelihood. This book will be of interest to economists, China-watchers, and scholars of geopolitics.

Dancing with the Impossible by David F. Nixon Pdf

If you are willing to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless, you just might hear God say, “You can do something about that!” David F. Nixon, a church leader and passionate Gospel preacher for over four decades, urges the readers of this book to start doing instead of dreaming. He emphasizes that bystanders watch change happen; participants make it happen. Fortunately, for believers, God specializes in the impossible—and we get to be on His team. Find out how faith, obedience, and a willingness to act can help you: Assist those who are less fortunate; Change the world with seemingly small acts of kindness; Be a better parent to your children; Appreciate the value and significance of mission work. Throughout the book, the author shares his own experience as a missionary, explaining how he’s lived life to the fullest by putting on his dance shoes—the Gospel of peace--and clothing himself with his Jesus jersey— compassion—and doing the next right thing.

House of a Thousand Eyes by Katia Lief Pdf

KILLING EVE meets THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD A Cold War spy’s deceits rise through time to haunt his American son, in a dual narrative split between postwar Berlin and early twentieth century New York City. Past becomes prologue as a father’s secret life and untimely death begin to make treacherous sense before delivering one final surprise. Skilled and capable, Con Mathis works for the New York District Attorney’s office. He’s movie-star handsome, charming, well educated, haunted by his expat German father’s suicide, and devoted to his mother Ruth and sister Sophie. Having completed an undercover assignment investigating the Wall Street money laundering operation of a Russian kingpin, he unwinds at a Manhattan bar, drinks too much and meets Emmy, a compelling German woman he thinks could be his soul mate. The next day, hungover and foggy, he realizes that he lost his keys and wallet at her place and needs to go back, but he can’t remember exactly where she lives. By the time he finds her, the woman he felt so drawn to turns out to be unstable, even dangerous. Far from a stranger, Emmy is a missive from his late father’s Cold War past. In meeting Emmy, Con’s search for meaning in his father’s long ago suicide collides with his hidden life as a Stasi agent in Cold War Berlin. As the discoveries become more troubling, Con launches an investigation that inadvertently puts his beloved American mother and sister at risk.

It is a story of powerful friendship and hope beyond the depths of despair.
