Author Sally-Anne Hurley has written her first book with the objective to share her stories on how she has attempted to sustain a positive outlook on life with others.

If "game day" is played in the stadium and preparation is done on the practice field, then Preparing To Prepare is what is done in the locker room to properly get ready for both. In other words, Preparing To Prepare is like the underground foundation of a skyscraper building and the base upon which that foundation rests. This foundation and base are required regardless of what career a child enters as well as in having good relations with and behaviors towards other people.

The Dirty Sheet: A Story of Transformation"""I don't care what they think" was my favorite line to say. Rebellious, prideful, and determined to control every situation and event in my life, I left my father's house at the age of seventeen to attend college""brokenhearted, angry, and full of rage. You see, my childhood was one of abuse, incest, domestic violence, and an inner rage that would one day lead to suicide or homicide or both! The children in the families we grew up with were suffering the same torment, so I thought this was normal. To witness beatings, violence, pain, and anguish was my norm. Silence was the pattern of behavior that was taught to me and my siblings. "Don't let anybody know" what was happening behind our four walls. These walls closed in around my heart and life in the years to come. After college, I joined the military. "I was an adult now." I told myself as I began years of drinking and seducing whomever I chose. I was Navy all the way""a man in every port, and I don't care what they think. The next twenty plus years would not be any better as I went from relationship to relationship looking for something, but what was I looking for? Why was my heart so hard and cold? Why did I keep doing the same things? Finally, the deep pain, despair, and heartache along with a probable addiction to alcohol led to thoughts of suicide; was this the answer I was seeking? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, or if this story and struggle sounds vaguely familiar, then read this book to understand the answers I found in Jesus Christ. May this story be used to bring all glory to God and freedom for all who dare to read, and be transformed!
Using the journals of W. Norman Rudolf (1835-1886), a Victorian merchant, Evangelical Balance Sheet: Character, Family, and Business in Mid-Victorian Nova Scotia explores the important role of character ideals and evangelicalism in mid-Victorian culture. Rudolf’s diary, with its daily weather observations, its account of family matters, of social and business happenings, and of his own experiences, as well as occasional literary or naturalistic forays, attempts to follow a disciplined regime of writing, but also has elements of a Bildungsroman. The diary reveals an obvious and significant tension between his inner, spiritual search for meaning in his life (evangelical inwardness) and his outward stewardship duties. Rudolf’s concept of character, then, involved a type of balance sheet of his evangelical service record, to his God, his family, his business, and his community. Needing God’s help to transform his will and to interpret the world in a constructive, rational manner, the underlying intent of his daily journal writing was to keep his commitment to an ethic of benevolence and of the affirmation of the goodness of human beings. Wood elucidates the cultivation of civic-minded masculinity in the context of Victorian Maritime Canada, analyzing the multiple facets of the character ideal and emphasizing its important role in Victorians’ understanding of their life experiences. In the process Wood reveals many underlying assumptions about social change and about civic discourse. The book also describes how the tremendous economic upheavals experienced by many entrepreneurs in the late 1860s to 1880s tempered their evangelical zeal and made it increasingly difficult for them to achieve a balanced and humane perspective on their own lives. Evangelical Balance Sheet will appeal to a broad audience interested in social history, imperial studies, gender studies (especially changing ideas of masculinity and manhood), Atlantic Canada studies, and local history of the Pictou region.
