Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A Journey: An Attempt (and Sometimes Struggle) at Being Real in This World is a story of a person's profoundly diverse and undeservedly blessed sixty-plus years of life on this planet. From growing up in the sixties and seventies, traveling as a young man in Europe and the Middle East (with a return trip to and fourteen-month stay in Israel), memoirs about military service, married and family life, work as a paramedic firefighter and as a nurse, wonderful opportunities to serve on medical teams to Kurdistan, Iraq; West Darfur, Sudan; and Banda Aceh, Indonesia; and everything in between. It really has been a blast. (Oh, and there was that little trip to Vietnam with Carol and our three kids when I was trying to make the case for our family living and working in Southeast Asia.) Through it all, good times and bad, smart decisions and some not so very clever, there has always been the undeniable realization that the Creator of the Universe, the Lord of heaven and earth, was right there with me and actually cared about the finest details of what was going on in my and my family's lives. Through it all, I have also come to believe that this same Chief Architect of the cosmos who cares about me and my family also truly cares about you and the finest, most intimate details of your life. He loves you. It's crazy, but it's true. Although the roads we have traveled are quite different, I was very motivated to write A Journey after reading Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Hope you enjoy the trip. Christian memoirs books, books about faith and service, travel memoirs books, books about finding God, inspirational memoirs books, and real life journey books, all of these themes are woven throughout this honest and heartfelt story.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Tony Capadora was in big trouble. He had been charged with the shooting murder of pop singer/songwriter Filip Beron, and the evidence against Tony appeared to be overwhelming. To start, Tony had publicly accused Filip of taking credit for writing a hit song that Tony had actually composed. Then, the murder weapon had been found buried in Tony's backyard. Finally, Filip had been able to write, in his loose-leaf, the first four letters of Tony's last name, just before he died. Tony was innocent, but he had no alibi and very little hope of avoiding decades in prison. Then, superstar detective Amy Bell was hired to try to clear Tony and find the real killer. With the encouragement and assistance of her husband, Jeremy, Amy slowly but surely uncovered various aspects of Filip's dark side. She identified many people who had reason to wish that Filip were dead. But it would take more than just finding other possible suspects to save Tony from the nearly airtight case against him. A police detective told Amy she was pursuing a ten-million-to-one long shot. But the vivacious and witty Amy was not one to give up, regardless of the odds. Author David Schwinger, when not writing Amy Bell mysteries--there are now eleven--enjoys composing songs, playing pickleball, and traveling the world with his wife, Sherryl. He first met Sherryl when she was his student in a mathematics class he taught at City College of New York. Their secret romance became the inspiration for his first Amy Bell mystery, The Teacher's Pet Murders.…

Discover the missing link of productivity Why is it that, no matter how many time-management books you read and productivity workshops you attend, your life feels busier than ever? It's because everyone knows the importance of saying no, but no one ever talks about when to say yes. Don Khouri has spent decades studying productivity as a PhD in human and organizational systems, corporate VP, and executive coach. In his quest to understand the secrets of the most productive people, he discovered the missing link in current productivity systems: they tell you how to manage projects and to-do lists, but don't show you how to determine what gets put on your plate in the first place. In this revolutionary approach to productivity, you'll discover how to successfully triage the requests coming your way so you can stop bleeding time. You'll learn the importance of being purposely productive rather than constantly busy, and vanquish your to-do list for good. Drawing on human psychology, case studies, and personal stories, Khouri reveals the secrets to reclaiming your time, and shares the Five Steps for evaluating and prioritizing requests from bosses, colleagues, friends, family-and even yourself. With powerful exercises on goal setting, prioritizing, and delegating, you'll master the Five Steps and integrate them into a cohesive system that can help you conquer that biggest time-sink of all: email. Let's face it, multitasking is an illusion that leads to feeling overwhelmed. By being purposely productive instead you can create the world you want-and excel.…
