Our Journey by John Lentz Pdf

Our Journey is a true story of how one couple got through the trials and tribulations of dealing with early onset Alzheimer's. When his wife started calling him at work because she was lost while driving around their small town, he started to wonder what was going on. She would always play it off as being tired or she just got turned around. As time went on, this behavior became a much more frequent occurrence. Sometimes he would have to spend thirty to forty minutes on the phone with her, until she was back in their own neighborhood. This went on for over two years before he insisted on her going to see a neurologist at the University of Michigan Hospital. After much testing and waiting for results we finally heard those dreaded words, "your wife has Alzheimer's." This is our story of how at that very moment our lives changed forever. Our family and friends changed forever and mostly not for the better. This is about our struggles in dealing with all of the different phases this disease puts a couple through. This is about my undying love for my wife and how I took care of her for ten long years.

My Journey by Olivia Chow Pdf

Olivia Chow--Member of Parliament, seasoned politician and widow of former New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton--tells her story in this candid memoir What drives Olivia Chow? How did she emerge from a turbulent childhood to become an inspiring political force? What influences and events have shaped her life? And how is she continuing her quest after losing her partner in life and politics? When Olivia was thirteen, her middle-class family moved from Hong Kong to Toronto, but the transition was difficult. Her mother went from having a maid to being a maid. Her father failed to carve out a working life for himself in Canada. Frustrated and bitter, he lashed out at Olivia's mother, and violence darkened their lives. A rebellious yet playful child, Olivia discovered self-discipline and became an excellent student in Canada, studying fine art and philosophy at university. After graduating, Olivia worked for a time as a sculptor. Then, driven by a desire to achieve social change, the artist became an activist, and she launched her political career. As a popular and much-admired school trustee and Toronto city councillor--the first Asian woman in that role--Olivia honed a grassroots approach and crafted progressive programs that enhanced the lives of others, especially children. Strong-willed, focused and passionate, Olivia got things done by bringing together people from all parts of the political spectrum. In the mid-1980s, Olivia met Jack Layton. Their dynamic partnership, unprecedented in Canadian political life, made a powerful impact in Toronto and on the national stage. Together, they forged a strong vision for a better country and for enlightened political change. But when her beloved partner and political soulmate died in the summer of 2011, how did she find the strength to move forward? What might we learn from her inspiring story? Those answers are here, in My Journey.

The Journey by Frenci Sanna Pdf

". . . a wonderful teaching tool for those who are welcoming refugees into their community."—The New York Times With haunting echoes of the current refugee crisis this beautifully illustrated book explores the unimaginable decisions made as a family leave their home and everything they know to escape the turmoil and tragedy brought by war. This book will stay with you long after the last page is turned. From the author: The Journey is actually a story about many journeys, and it began with the story of two girls I met in a refugee center in Italy. After meeting them I realized that behind their journey lay something very powerful. So I began collecting more stories of migration and interviewing many people from many different countries. A few months later, in September 2014, when I started studying a Master of Arts in Illustration at the Academy of Lucerne, I knew I wanted to create a book about these true stories. Almost every day on the news we hear the terms "migrants" and "refugees" but we rarely ever speak to or hear the personal journeys that they have had to take. This book is a collage of all those personal stories and the incredible strength of the people within them.

"Revelation For Today" was written in layman terms explaining each verse, which many have commented that they for the first time have been able to understand the book. A great number of people have shown much interest about what happens to believers after they die. The book was written to explain the sequence of the events that will happen when we die.

Our Journal Our Journey - Vol. 2 by Tammy Bimrose Pdf

The journey continues with more laughter, more thrill and Michael being typical Michael. This journey has many twists and turns and one twist I have found to be spiritually captivating, not just for me, but all who call this planet home. This journey started with the first volume where it opened our minds to fathom that there is in fact an afterlife. I have been informed by Jesus that time is of the essence and now is the most important period of our lives, where all Religious beliefs, all Prophecies, and Mythology converge. It is time to allow yourself to further open your minds, and accept the reality that is contained within. "In your hands is hope for a better tomorrow. If you are willing, we are here to give you wings so you can learn to soar the skies, as yesterday has come and gone, today you hold hope for a better tomorrow. So if you dare to rise up, we will be alongside you.”- Michael Jackson in spirit. God, Jesus, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, Meher Baba and Michael Jackson have their say… Are you ready to listen? What have you got to lose? A foreshadowing that you should not ignore…

THE PROCESS OF DYING AND OUR JOURNEY BEYOND by Dieter G. Gedeik Pdf

THE PROCESS OF DYING AND OUR JOURNEY BEYOND What really happens when we shed our physical body! By Dieter G. Gedeik Why should you care? What would you do if your manager at work tells you that she is sending you to a foreign country next month to open a new branch? Would you immediately start preparing for this? Would you quickly check on? Visa and inoculation requirements, transportation, currency, prices, local & labor laws, housing, etc. Of course, you would! Whether you shed your physical body tomorrow or in 60 years, you will go to a place you might, right now, know little about. This book sheds some badly needed light on what really happens to various types of people as they discard their physical bodies and their journey through the astral and mental planes, until all that is good merges into the Soul. Look at the book's content page for the many topics addressed in this important writing. For two thousand years the Westerner has relied solely upon his faith in Christian teachings that man survives beyond the grave. For many of us the words “Faith” and “Believe” are no longer good enough. They imply “not knowing” whereas younger people, born into the age of Aquarius demand to know and to experience. The search for the purpose of life and the very important subject of life after death has been with the author since the age of nine. Much research was done and plenty of personal experience recalled to make this little book possible. May this information encourage you to research further and bring desperately needed Light and Love to this planet.

The Journey Home by Radhanath Swami Pdf

The story of one man’s journey from his youth in suburban Chicago to an adult in spiritual India and a world of mystics, yogis, and gurus. Within this extraordinary memoir, Radhanath Swami weaves a colorful tapestry of adventure, mysticism, and love. Readers follow Richard Slavin from the suburbs of Chicago to the caves of the Himalayas as he transforms from young seeker to renowned spiritual guide. The Journey Home is an intimate account of the steps to self-awareness and also a penetrating glimpse into the heart of mystic traditions and the challenges that all souls must face on the road to inner harmony and a union with the Divine. Through near-death encounters, apprenticeships with advanced yogis, and years of travel along the pilgrim’s path, Radhanath Swami eventually reaches the inner sanctum of India’s mystic culture and finds the love he has been seeking. It is a tale told with rare candor, immersing the reader in a journey that is at once engaging, humorous, and heartwarming. Praise for The Journey Home “Here is an inspiring chapter of “our story” of spiritual pilgrimage to the East. It shows the inner journey of awakening in a fascinating and spellbinding way.” —Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now “He tells his story with remarkable honest—the temptations of the 1970s, his doubts, hopes, and disappointments, the culture shock, and the friendships found and lost . . . Add a zest of danger, suspense, and surprise, and Radhanath Swami’s story is a deep, genuine memoir that reads like a novel.” —Brigitte Sion, assistant professor of Religious Studies, New York University

Standing Tall by Spencer West Pdf

Spencer West is many things. Accomplished speaker. University graduate. Natural prankster. Former cheerleader. And a young man without legs—something that has never held him back. Spencer was born without the use of his legs. When he was five, doctors decided to amputate below his pelvis to better help him get around. It didn’t bother him; he was Superman and nothing would ever get in his way. Or so he thought. Navigating through life on his hands, Spencer has always lived with purpose. But he wanted more out of life than just a paycheque and material possessions. He wanted to make an impact but wasn’t always sure how. That was until he had the epiphany: He was different for a reason. Infused with humour and humility, Spencer has never lost the hope or courage he needed to tackle personal obstacles—bullying, isolation, failure, or pride. His secret? Always standing tall.
