Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My Brave Little Man series continues.Terry joins the Navy and finds himself back in the real world, a world far removed from the 'soul modeling community' he had been adopted into at the age of seven. Here, he returns to the world of street fighting. In electronics school alone, he gets into seven fights. And for this, he is promoted.Two weeks after reporting aboard the USS Mahan, Terry disobeys a direct order--resulting, again, in a promotion. With it, a 'sharp mind' emerges to deal with the many emergencies he will face in the Tonkin Gulf as both Surface Watch Supervisor and Radio Talker.Follow Terry as he takes on challenges normally assigned to those higher in rank. See how his actions save the ship from a disaster predicted by the psychic, Jeane Dixon; how he gives last-minute instructions to pilots going in for air strikes and calmly deals with maydays; how some pilots never returned due to decisions made by self-serving higherups.Read about his many adventures in port: About a sailor shoving a gun in Terry's stomach before shooting himself; about taking on a barracks full of Korean marines; and about the day he stopped fighting after coming close to killing someone. To ease the stress, Terry creates what became known as, Degner's Give-A-Shit Button; he quarterbacks the Navy football team--loaded with NFL & AFL draftees--to a championship; he becomes a certified scuba diver; and he takes up acting.Following this, Terry enters college; a bright new world appears, and he begins to grow skin. Until, that is, the weight of the world bears down on him again.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My Brave Little Man continues.Terry was eight when he was adopted, along with his younger sister, to a childless farm couple in western Minnesota. Although he was bright, curious, and fiercely independent, he suffered from emotional neglect due to being separated from his biological family as a toddler, followed by the three years he spent in an orphanage.Terry quickly learns that farm life is tough, but, over time, the long hours and the hard, physical labor have a rewarding side. His new father treats him more as a hired man than a son. But, his new mother, her father, the soul modeling community he finds himself in, a wonderful teacher who turns him into a voracious reader, and the arrival of a fragment of the Eternal Father at the age of twelve, gradually begins to uplift his soul's values. Despite this, however, the road he traveled was an empty highway.To fill the void, Terry channels his energy into sports, where he excels, particularly in fast pitch softball and wrestling. He is tough, self-assured, and he stands out, but he still doesn't fit into the male pecking order.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this trauma-filled childhood memoir, Terry takes you back in time to the years he spent in an orphanage--where conflicts between boys were solved in the basement with boxing gloves. This is a true story that had to be told: It is the clear, unique voice of a survivor of the kind of childhood that is usually the undoing of less hardy souls. With novelist flair and impressive detail, Terry chronicles his first eight years in a rarely visited slice of the country. In 1950, a doctor in Duluth, Minnesota, wrote in his medical file that a four-year-old boy had been admitted to St. Mary's hospital as a 'rather severe behavior problem.' 'This is,' the doctor notes, 'a broken home, and the mother-child relationship is not good.' That boy is Terry. He had been shuffled from one nesting arrangement to another for all of his short life. First, he lived with his grandparents on their rustic farmstead in northern Minnesota, then with his intellectually disabled mother and a mostly absent alcoholic father, and finally with a boorish relative. In spite of this, Terry had been relatively happy. The real problems started when his mother dropped him and his two younger siblings off at an orphanage. A week later, at Terry's urging, the children ran away to find their mother, and Terry ended up in a straight jacket. Thus, began Terry's journey of triumph over multiple misfortunes. Eight years later, while lying on the banks of a river on his adoptive parents' farm, Terry promised God he would do eight things during his lifetime. The My Brave Little Man memoir series is one of those eight. The series continues in Book II: The Weight of the World.…
