Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book is a passionate presentation of what our society is producing in children. The authors first present a "code blue" alarm for the need of paramedic and ambulance for at-risk children; then they provide some practical suggestions about how to save the children. The book contains statistics and stories with illustrations and hope-filled solutions; calling the reader to become what God has always called the Church to be--a change agent for the spiritually needy in every strata of society. Given the realities of our world--catastrophes on every news broadcast, an epidemic of fragmented families, a severely coarsened society--we can still make a difference in the lives of children by teaching them to value the right things.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Riding with the Wind, Fay Hoh Yin paints an indelible portrait of three generations of her family in China as the imperial era ends and war with Japan begins. Her parents are among the first young people to escape the archaic traditions of foot binding and arranged marriage, then use their newfound freedom to study in the West. They return home in the early 1920s to become pioneering educators and proponents of physical fitness and sports. In lyrical prose, the author recalls scenes from her improbably happy childhood amid bombs and atrocities.Yin later comes to the U.S. herself, marries a fellow foreign student, and starts a family. Tragically, she loses her husband at age thirty-seven, but forges a unique partnership with her widowed mother-in-law that far outlasts either of their marriages. Yin's stories of daring, hardship, and perseverance are deeply personal, yet illuminate the changing roles of women in 20th century China and the United States.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. There is an old Nigerian saying: In the moment of crisis, the wise build bridges and the foolish build dams. The truth of this statement has profoundly impacted my life in the past several years. What bridges do we need? When I look at those bridges that need to be built, one of the most important is the bridge between the generations. Bridges bring unity and we need unity. We need a unity that is not only manifested in words of honor toward one another, but a unity that is functional; a unity that works. There is so much to be accomplished in this important time and it will not happen unless young and old work together. In this book, my goal is to incite a revolution. I want to shake our generations out of their status quo and to help guide us to where we need to be. I want to awaken us to the unique purpose of each generation and to provide hope, vision, and practical steps to journey down the path together. In this book I will be speaking primarily to two groups of people: the older generation and the younger generation. You can find yourself in one of those categories and choose which one you feel you identify with (and I am aware there are many who will probably feel caught in between). The premise of this book is taken out of the interwoven lives of three main characters in the Bible: Samuel, Saul and David. I am going to be looking at the older generation as Samuels and Sauls and the younger generation as Davids. We have come to a moment where all over the world whether in business, economics, technology, fashion or religion, a younger generation has not only come of age, but are in positions of great responsibility and leadership. They are a force to be reckoned with, and have accomplished great things in their short time on the scene, but have also been met with a lot of misunderstanding and frustration. They don't fit anyone's mold and in fact that is the farthest thing from their minds. They want to do things their way and they really don't think they need any help from anyone. All the while the older generation in some cases is handing over the baton to these people who are young enough to be their children and grandchildren and doing so with not a little bit of trepidation. They wonder in many cases what is to become of what they have built on their blood, sweat and tears. Their generation worked hard and sacrificed, but they feel this generation knows nothing of the sort. Many see the younger generations as lazy, undisciplined, arrogant and na ve. There have been countless articles, documentaries and studies done on this subject. I am not an expert in those nor have I tried to become so in this midst of this project. My heart is to point out the God opportunity in the midst of this unique scenario. There is a plan and purpose in the heart of God in all of this that will bring about a synergy of the generations, which will in turn usher in a massive move of God. This will happen because Saul's kingdom is crumbling, Samuel is full of oil and David is ready to be anointed. The orphan shepherd will be transformed into a ruling king--one after God's own heart. The arrogance of his heart will fade away in the lessons that come with the anointing and the Glory will come in the tent he sets up for God. And God will rule and reign from that place of Presence. Let's journey together into this process and witness the transformation.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. To celebrate Oregon's 150th birthday, the Oregon Library Association has chosen one book for all Oregonians to read: Stubborn Twig. Lauren Kessler's award-winning book, the selection for the statewide Oregon Reads program, is a classic story of immigrants making their way in a new land. It is a living work of social history that rings with the power of truth and the drama of fiction, a moving saga about the challenges of becoming an American. Masuo Yasui traveled from Japan across the other Oregon Trail-the one that spanned the Pacific Ocean-in 1903. Like most immigrants, he came with big dreams and empty pockets. Working on the railroads, in a cannery, and as a houseboy before settling in Hood River, Oregon, he opened a store, raised a large family, and became one of the area's most successful orchardists. As Masuo broke the race barrier in the local business community, his American-born children broke it in school, scouts, and sports, excelling in most everything they tried. For the Yasuis' first-born son, the constraints and contradictions of being both Japanese and American led to tragedy. But his seven brothers and sisters prevailed, becoming doctors, lawyers, teachers, and farmers. It was a classic tale of the American dream come true-until December 7, 1941, changed their lives forever. The Yasuis were among the 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry along the West Coast who were forced from their homes and sent to vast inland internment camps. Masuo was arrested as a spy and imprisoned for the rest of the war; his family was shamed and broken. Yet the Yasuis endured, as succeeding generations took up the challenge of finding their identity as Americans. Stubborn Twig is their story-a story at once tragic and triumphant, one that bears eloquent witness to both the promise and the peril of America. Book jacket.…
