This book was originally intended to be used as a daily devotional; however, it is not a typical devotional book. Rather, it is a book of personal stories and Biblical truths learned over 56 years of marriage and ministry. In Genesis 28:10-22, there is a story where the children of Israel piled stones and called them ‘stones of remembrance.’ These were intended as a memorial to the Lord, marking places where God supernaturally intervened in their lives. The stories in this book are Dick and Jeri’s ‘stones of remembrance,’ showing how God led them, provided for them, protected them and intervened in supernatural ways. The stories are shared in the hopes of inspiring and encouraging every reader to believe that God will do the same for them. God is no respecter of persons, for what He has done for one, He will do for others.
An inspiring collection of thoughts to take with us on the paths we travel in life. For all the roads we choose to travel, and even those we don't, Fred Rogers has an observation, a story, some insights to share. Whether you're facing graduation, a new job, a new baby, marriage, any change in your life--expected or not--the wisdom that Mister Rogers offers can contribute mightily to the grace with which you handle the change. With sections titled Who You Are Right Now, Loving and Being Loved, and Guided Drift, Fred addresses the scope of human transitions. It all comes down to knowing we're valuable, and that we're worthy of that value. As Fred would say, "You don't have to be anything more than who you are right now." In her foreword, Joanne Rogers shares the Fred she knew. With stories from their life together, the joys as well as the struggles, Joanne shows how Fred looked at life as a journey--with the ups and downs and in-betweens.

This poem book is very unique. The writer, Connie Coleman, is seventy years old and has been composing poems since age twelve. We have almost sixty years of poetry: that is sixty years with changes in life and thinking and, with this author, many changes of environments. Yes, this is a book to own and to read. It may help you or someone you know. Poetry has a reason. Some of the Bible is even poetic. Yes, this book is worth buying. What we have here is a gifted writer. A writer watched and often directed from above. That reason alone enables her poems to inspire!
Life is a struggle. Life is a journey. Life is healing. Does life have you down? Are things just not how you wish they were? Are you struggling to see the light on the end of the dark and narrow tunnel? Life is not always sweet gumdrops and beautiful roses. It can be downright weary and troublesome, but it can also be amazing. It is up to us, each individual person, how we break through the ups and downs on this journey called life. We control our perceptions. We control our attitudes and our outlooks on each and everything that happens throughout this journey. Many times in life, our journey may take us down an unexpected path. It may be a smooth, fresh paved path, or it may be a path full of potholes. Even the path full of potholes can be smooth if you go around them. At times, some holes are unable to be avoided, so you need to find a way to keep driving that path without breaking the shocks of your car. It can be done with patience, understanding, prayer, and a little faith. Every moment in life can be used for good. Every moment can be a learning moment, an inspirational moment. It is your choice, but I will say that even through dark times, finding joy can be done if you only allow that joy in. Embrace life’s journey and shine your bright light for all to see.
This book is based on true events. It reveals a life's journey of a person who grew up in a corrupt third-world country, in one of the most popular families there. Despite that, he took a solid stand against the corruption that took over his country, including human rights violations, and destroyed everything beautiful there. And no matter the danger he faced and how hard his life became, his principles and determination motivated him along the way. The sacrifices he made throughout his life were huge, but still, no one or nothing was about to stop him from winning the fight. The names of the people and places in the story changed to names from the writer's imagination for safety reasons.
This hardcover book is a compilation of different poems from the author's life experiences, those of his family members and friends, as well as his hopes, dreams and perceptions about life and love.He writes passionately about love, heartbreak, and hope.

You will share the laughter at the ridiculous and cry with the tragedies and relate to each in turn as you take a journey through the rich tapestry of life woven into the prose, songs, and short stories that break from the traditional chronological order and instead focus on feelings, emotions, and thoughts laid bare over a lifetime and beyond. The tapestry woven into the poems, song lyrics, and short stories tell a tale of their own.
The book is a memoir of Lucjan Krause, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Windsor in Canada. Born in Poznań in 1928, as a scout and Home Army soldier, he took part in the Warsaw Uprising and after its failure was sent to a POW camp in Germany. The first part of the book focuses on this period in his life and presents a vivid description of many dramatic events from an eyewitness perspective. In 1951, after graduating from the University of London, Lucjan Krause emigrated to Canada and was awarded his PhD in Physics at the University of Toronto. Afterwards he created a vibrant experimental centre for atomic and molecular physics at the University of Windsor. In the past fifty years numerous physicists from Toruń and other Polish scientific centres have participated in research conducted there as postdoctoral fellows. It was possible thanks to the cooperation initiated in 1963 by Lucjan Krause and Aleksander Jabłoński, the Head of the Physics Department of Nicolaus Copernicus University. The second part of Lucjan Krause’s book presents his account of this cooperation which allowed many Polish physicists to conduct experiments with the use of advanced equipment, not available in Poland at that time. In this way, Professor Lucjan Krause contributed significantly to the development of physics in Poland. Thus, Professor Lucjan Krause’s memoir represents not only an essential contribution to the history of the development of atomic physics in the last four decades of the 20th century in Canada and Poland, but also provides insight into Polish-Canadian scientific relations.
