  • von Brandon Harrington
    24,00 €

    In this inspirational story based on true events, Brandon, an ex-convict, takes you on a journey from his childhood dreams of being an NBA star to his choice as a teenager to be the ultimate hustler in the North Carolina streets of Chapel Town. After the unfortunate split of his parents, the allure of the drug game sets in. Determined to be able to provide for his family, Brandon quickly rises in the ranks of the drug game to selling kilos of cocaine at a very young age, all while trying to make his exit from a street hustler to a legit entrepreneur. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. After years of dodging life-ending experiences, corrupt cops, and phony friends, Brandon decides to pursue college for a career in business, but not before his life spirals out of control when he is indicted by the federal government and convicted for a non-violent federal drug conspiracy and sentenced to 188 months in federal prison. After becoming the victim of unfair and unequal punishment due to the federal government's racially biased "100/1 crack versus powder cocaine sentencing disparity," Brandon realizes that the path he had chosen was full of unknown dangers. Still, it wasn't too late to make the right turn. However, his only revenge would be success. After almost 12 years in federal prison, Brandon shares the wisdom and knowledge obtained while incarcerated that led to his immediate release from prison four years early and turned him into a motivated and successful entrepreneur upon his release. After many mistakes, failures, trials, and tribulations, Brandon escapes the allure of the drug game and street life. Through his story, based on actual events, he hopes to deter the next teenager from being another statistic in the legal system. He also gives incarcerated individuals a blueprint for properly preparing themselves for a smooth transition back to society.

    They say that authors write the books they want to read. If so, the poignant memoir 'Choosing Magic' delivers author Karina Pacific much of the insight and guidance she so desperately needed as a child. Born in Mexico to a father she never knew and an overworked, reticent mother, Karina's story unveils a childhood filled with colorful characters, dark secrets of abuse, and a nomadic existence that bounced her all over her native country, eventually leading her to the land of opportunity - America. Armed with inherent optimism, a love for Bruce Springsteen, and a blossoming relationship with God, Karina embraced her new life as an immigrant in the States with gusto, while meeting angels and 'numbnuts' along the way. With each experience she walked away armed with knowledge and lessons that her silent mother was unable to provide her. Learning to choose the magic of love and forgiveness, Karina's touching and funny memoir reveals her journey to reconcile her relationship with God, her mother, and herself.

    In a culture that encourages and applauds the search for perfection in all its exterior manifestations, Surprised by Imperfection is a collection of essays and memoirs that reminds readers of the exquisite beauty in the dappled and imperfect aspects of the vast world, seeks out the sanctity of the ordinary in all its seasons, and invites us back to childhood's grand sense of wonder.In each story, Shari Brand Ray considers the sacredness of the small moments in life. With humor and inordinate love for the everyday, Ray connects readers to the glories of the natural world through a return to close observation. In the spring she finds meaning in watching two dogs run in the warm sunshine along the banks of the spring-swollen Mississippi River, and in autumn she experiences the terrifying beauty of leaving her seven-year-old daughter in a Belgian girls' school where neither she nor her daughter yet speak the language. In winter Ray writes of personal wounding, the moments following a life-threatening head-on collision on a snowy night in Memphis as she waits for the ambulance and contemplates her own unknown future.The lyrical essays in Surprised by Imperfection unfold in humor, wisdom, and love, and reawaken the unexpected glory that comprises our collective imperfection.

As a result of its success, several oral surgery training programs quickly followed suit and established their own mini residencies for jaw deformity correction, catering to practicing surgeons.Fast forward to 2003, the American College of Ob/Gyn expressed their regret at not having similar mini-residency programs for their own surgeons.Dr. Williams has had a remarkable and diverse career. He served as a retired USAF major and senior navigator and is also a licensed private pilot. Additionally, he holds board certifications as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon and anesthesiologist.

    Welcome folks to volume two of 'The North-East Diaries - Batesy's Tale' and I hope you enjoy this ongoing story as much as the first volume. Volume one of 'The North-East Diaries - A Funny Thing Happened in Blyth' covered the early years of the nineteen-sixties. Set predominantly in the mining town of Blyth in Northumberland and following the trials and tribulations of a young lad suddenly thrust into a perplexing Northumbrian environment in the exciting formative years of the sixties. This volume (volume 2) follows the lives of the principal characters as they attempt the precarious straddle between teenage years and adulthood in the late nineteen-sixties and then follows them into the seventies and eighties. Some are successful and some find their attempt at adulthood hugely difficult. You will find many of the characters from volume one re-appear. Sid (Hawky) Brown, Titch Irving, Batesy, Roly, Raisbeck and the surprise re-appearance of Charlie Chuck in Hull of all places. New characters make an entrance too... in particular a funny old codger named Tug from New Deleval and his marras from the lonnen Taps Bob and Mordy. They are all real people and the book is as true as it can possibly be made. This is their story and the complete tale is neither autobiography, memoir nor a work of fiction but a fusion of all three. It draws a picture of the contrast between those years and life as we know it now. A time before mobile phones and the internet. A time when holidays were taken down the beach or at Butlins and not in Ibiza or Corfu. A time when a night out was at the local Working Men's Club or perhaps bingo at the Roxy. A time when Bates pit ruled and coal was king and working men were proud. But most of all a time when music was exciting, innovative and edgy... and bands sang about the ending of wars and the stupidity of life and made us all want to change the world for the better. We didn't of course but it is still a time that I wish the kids of today could experience. If they could then we'd all be 'Working Class Heroes'. Dialogue is written as best as can be remembered and in the vernacular of the day. I hope that if any of my surviving former teachers read this they will forgive the liberties taken with grammar and syntax and refrain from sending back the book covered in red ink and sarcastic comments. Once again names and events have only been changed to protect the innocent.

    This fast moving and sometimes disturbing book starts at the point where Brian is about to be arrested for smuggling a kilogram of cocaine into the country in 1995 worth a police estimate of one and a half million pounds, earning him a prison sentence of 12 years.The book continues by telling how he arrived at that point - his disadvantaged life, growing up in Wales in impoverished circumstances with a number of brothers and sisters, all with the same mother but several different fathers. He tells of his first experience with drugs at the tender age of 16, and how by the time he was 19 he had met a Dutch girl and moved to Holland. The book continues to chart his descent into drugs and drug dealing, and how after his break-up with the Dutch girl, he decides to go to Sri Lanka to start a new life, only to get involved in drug smuggling between Sri Lanka and India, whilst living with a poor fisherman and his family who showed him great kindness.He describes life as a dealer and the many smuggling trips to and from different countries, before he was finally arrested in Swansea, the point at which the book starts.The rest of the book deals with his Christian conversion, and the difficulties experienced by him and other prisoners who tried to live out their Christian lives in a harsh and hostile prison environment, and how, in spite of the pressures temptations and setbacks, including seeing fellow believers take their own lives whilst in prison or very shortly after release, because of good behavior his prison term is vastly reduced, and he is finally released. He starts to train to help others overcome the horror which drug involvement brings into a persons life, showing them how they can receive new life in Jesus. Although the book deals with very real and sometimes harrowing situations it is not without a wry humour.The book will appeal to all those who have ever wondered what life is really like in some of Britain's best known high security jails, those who have loved ones who are still dependent on drugs, those who want to better understand why people are attracted to drugs in the first place, and those who enjoy a good story, well told, with all the emotional highs and lows that one would expect from such a tale.

    ¿¿ Wir alle haben keine Gedanken. Alles ist ein Schrei ¿ ein Schrei der Ohnmacht.Lass Bilder kommen! Sie betäuben mich. Ich möchte das Leben in die Hand nehmen und es dauernd bewegen ¿ einmal hierhin, einmal dorthin. Die Kinder tun es ähnlich. Sie schaufeln den Sand und sie kletternauf den Baum. Sie kriechen in Schlupfwinkel und sind ganz erfüllt. Sie träumen von der Kraft ihres Lebens. Und wir?- Es ist ein wilder Schrei, der sich selbst erstickt. Du musst beten, du darfst nicht schreien! Bewundere deine Welt, spüre sie auf, beschreibe das! Das musst du tun, nicht aufsässig sein!Ich höre dich und ich höre den Fluch meiner Seele. Was treibt den Keil in die Harmonie? Wie kommen Fluch und Andacht zusammen? Rätselhaft, wie alles geht. Aber es geht. Spiralen drehtmein Herz, tönende Spiralen.¿-In seinem dritten Lebensjahrzehnt, wo er Gott und die Welt kritisierte und anzweifelte, nahm der Autor im Rahmen seiner Tagebuchführung unbewusst Verbindung zu geistigen Welten auf.In Dialogen erfährt er seelischen Beistand, und es wird ihm, ohne dass er dieses Geschehen begreift , unter anderem der Vorgang der Inspiration erklärt. In den Gesprächen, in welchen auch niedere Geistwesen mit entsprechenden Absichten zu Wort kommen, bedient er sich oft der Traumsymbolsprache, die ihm damals noch völlig unbekannt war.

    It was 2020, and I was looking for something to ease the self-enforced quarantine of the COVID-19 lockdown. An attractive brochure from Hutton House Lectures arrived in the mail. I signed up for a ZOOM course called Write a Chapter of Your Life, given by Lisa Pulitzer. Writing for that course stirred so many memories of the 90 years of my life that I decided to extend the chapter into a book. Those memories saw me grow and develop from a depression baby born in 1933, into a naïve bride just out of high school. Suddenly, I was a housewife and mother of four children, born over five short years, and then widowed at age 39. I began as a girl with virtually no knowledge of how the world worked, and eventually became an independent woman with a curiosity about life. I have traveled to many wonderful places on five continents. Then, at age 84, I entered into a new way of life with a second marriage. Our combined family of 60 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are very important to both of us. In this memoir I have set forth some of the memories of my life's journey in hopes that a reader might get a glimpse of me as a growing, evolving woman, and appreciate some of the experiences and observations I have been able to recall.
