Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Particular Friendships: A Convent Memoir offers a rare glimpse inside the walls of a Roman Catholic convent in the late 1960s. The young narrator arrives with gentle visions spawned by The Sound of Music, only to encounter the harshness of life in this secretive society. Her wit, compassion, and mus…icality foment a rebellion against rules forbidding expressions of joy and intimacy, as she struggles between allegiance to the heart and her vow of blind obedience to flawed and abusive superiors. Recently filed lawsuits against the Church suggest that the timing could not be better for an ex-nun's memoir. Part mystery, part coming of age story, this narrative seeks neither to damn nor to exonerate but to uncover the truth.

Whether your attitude is positive or negative or somewhere in between, the tools that are given to you in this book will allow you to move forward, no matt…er where you are in life or what position you are in presently. Always remember, there is light at the end of tunnel. This book will show you how to take control of your life, and unleash your incredible potential. It's fi lled with inspiring stories and easy-to-understand success principles. Steven H. Lewis presents this book with sincerity, clarity, and impact in a way that will inspire you to develop your skills to their full potential and bring out the greatness that's within you. You'll begin to see new possibilities. You'll take action to develop your unique talents, and you will achieve extraordinary results. Eighty-fi ve percent of anything that you do begins with a good attitude; it doesn't matter what it is. Initially, this book was going to be centered on what it takes to become a professional athlete. After discussing this topic with my literary agent in a fi ve-hour phone conversation, playing battle of the wits, he won and gave me a new and better idea for writing this book. First of all, I want to thank Mark Pavlovich for giving me the vision to be able to reach everyone in the world. It doesn't matter what your goals are, this book pertains to everyone. I feel sure that you will fi nd what is written here extremely powerful and intriguing. This book will give you an insight into and the motivation for selfdevelopment through personal improvement. Through the guidelines that are presented here, you will obtain your personal goals. This book will give the information essential to reach your ultimate goals. This book is not pertaining to becoming a professional athlete; the tools that you are given throughout 18 FOCUSING ON YOUR DREAMS the contents of this book will apply in anything you do in life. This book is about self-improvement and it will give you simple, clear guidelines on how to obtain your goals. This book includes three different personalities and three directions in life; the fi nal outcome will be the same. With determination, dedication, desire, and passion we got to where we are now. We lived through traumas and devastations. I have integrated into this book the importance of knowing where you have been in your life. Life appeals to everyone, and it matters how you handle it-how you start and how you fi nish. It doesn't matter what your goals in life are. You have a starting point and a fi nish line. In order to complete each task, it is imperative to stay focused on your goal. Please don't misinterpret this book as just being about professional athletes; we only are sharing our own personal experiences. I hated my past; however, I couldn't allow my past to affect my future. It enhances what I am doing today because I am now able to refl ect on the many setbacks that I'd had to go through in my life. My past only gave me the opportunity to move on to the next level. Progress is not based on how people view you. Rather, it is based on how you see yourself as an example. When you are in the last place and your expectations are not very high, you can't lose focus. But when you fi nish the season and you go to the fi nals and you do your best and have high expectations but lose anyway, then at least you know in your heart you did your best. This is what you call fulfi lling success. So again it doesn't matter where you end up, what counts is that you gave it your all. Sometimes you have to give up things in order to pursue where you want be. You have to be creative when setting goals for yourself and see beyond your fi nger next to your nose; however, your fi nger is your vision, your creativity goes beyond what is in front of you. By being creative, y.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Adirondack is an adventure suspense tale of murder and survival in the mountains of upstate New York. Most of the action occurs near the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks- a land beautiful and terrifying, a wild place that can bring out the best and the worst in people; darkly intimidating and da…ngerous at times, yet strangely electrifying and inspiring. It is a primeval land that asks nothing of you but will take all that you have, and in return will give you hope and love of life and strength of spirit.A ten year old lad and a young woman flee for their lives, unprepared, as it were, for survival in the wilderness and with little more than their wits to guide them. All the while, they are being pursued by a psychotic killer and his partner, both of whom are determined to kill them because they know too much about their criminal plans. The boy's father and the young lady's former boyfriend, a cop from Allentown, Pennsylvania, join the Kentville Police on a dangerous search in the northern woods. The story weaves together an unlikely collection of characters into a spellbinding chase through the mountains, with episodes of high risk rock-climbing, angry and deadly confrontations, and horrifying deaths for some of the searchers.The novel begins with the early years of two hoodlum brothers in 1940's Brooklyn, and eventually has them forming a dangerous alliance with a former cellmate, a vicious and cold-blooded killer with no compunctions for killing. The time then shifts to the late 1950's when the old alliance reforms. The plot involves a diamond smuggling deal which was to be consummated in a rendezvous at an upstate New York lake. The plan falls apart when a series of unexpected events occur, including the kidnapping of a young lad from Ithaca, who overhears the brothers talking, and the subsequent murder of five innocent townspeople by the brothers' psychotic partner. The disillusioned girlfriend of one of the kidnappers escapes with the lad into a harrowing adventure in the Adirondack mountains, where death may be imminent and survival is a matter of will to live.It is a coming of age story whereby the boy changes from a lad of low self-esteem to one inspired to heroic deeds. It is also a story which shows how the wilderness changes people; where a frightened and self-serving young woman becomes compassionate and courageous in the presence of constant danger; where the young boy's father, searching for his son, changes from a stuffy white-collar gentleman to a competent mountain climber and a wilderness survivor; and finally, where a psychotic ex-con becomes motivated by a crazed and sadistic need to hunt and kill the boy and his lady companion.In writing Adirondack, I have drawn upon my hiking and climbing experiences in the Adirondack mountains. I've been inspired by the vastness of these mountains, the superb majesty of the great peaks, the deep gorges, immense forests, and numerous lakes. It is a land I hope will remain forever wild.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'WHAT cruel twist of tectonic irony caused the deepest scar on the earth's surface across the face of that continent that would also suffer the most appalling of human tragedies 'So begins a narrative set against the backdrop of the timeless mountain called in Zulu uKhahlamba, 'the Barrier of Spears….' Yet the story is not uniquely South African; it is not about apartheid, or about Blacks, or Whites. Rather, it is about the countless 'gray' people, ordinary individuals who become trapped in the consummation of historical inevitabilities that are neither of their doing, nor of their choosing.In a tragic series of events two friends will discover what sacrifices are exacted from those who would dwell in the no man's land of the summit, where fog often obscures the vision and deprivation dulls the senses until it becomes all too easy to drift into hostile territory or stumble into the jaws of the precipice.But they will also learn that barriers are not always what they seem. In that hauntingly beautiful land it is never merely about survival, but about the things that make it truly worthwhile, such as friendship, loyalty, and honor, regardless of the price.
