As a child growing up in primarily Catholic Dublin, Ireland, Methodist-raised Olive Speidel always knew the Lord had blessed her with wonderful parents. They provided well for Olive and her seven siblings and taught them successful parenting techniques in the process. Through the years, however, Olive realized that not all children grew up as fortunate as she had. Believing she should record her childhood memories to provide hope for those who had not been given the same blessings, she chose to chronicle her experiences in Safe Place to Grow. From Wednesday family picnics to emigrating from Ireland to the United States, the Speidels are a model of family togetherness. While reading this warm and amusing memoir, you will laugh and be encouraged as you discover the simple principles by which Olive's parents raised their large, close-knit family. If you are looking for ways to promote family bonding with your children or are interested in Irish culture, Safe Place to Grow provides the answer. While parenting her own two daughters, Olive figured out that the wisest path to take was to mete out love and law in equal measure and to provide for children a Safe Place to Grow.

A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Life is all about a journey. Everybody is on some kind of journey in his life knowingly or unknowingly. For every journey, there is a starting point; in other words, to start a journey, everybody needs a foundation which determines his final destination. If the foundation is wrong, then the whole journey will also be in the wrong direction, and nothing is worse than travelling in the wrong direction throughout your life. If you miss the real root you cant bear the real fruit for your root determines your fruit. In the spiritual world, so many people are fake passport holders. They claim to inherit the kingdom of God but they can never inherit it until they accept this truth. The only truth is if Christ is your foundation, then heaven is your destination. Jesus Christ is the only way who can guide you throughout the journey, from the foundation to the final destination. By using the journey of the Israelites for forty years as a model in my book Keep Your Eternal Passport in a Safe Place, we will see how to finish successfully the journey of life from the foundation to the final destination.
