Book Description
Candid confessions about an Alcoholic father who paved the way for his dejected daughter to encounter 7 different men till she finally met her dream husband. At 6, she was a fearless monk because she recalls firing her toy gun at a cat. When she reached 14, she began to isolate herself from anybody who followed the crowd. From facing racial discrimination as a teen to being called ‘different’ to enduring a public school system that failed to validate her, the hardships were a lot to take on. Kalavathi’s bipolar father and hallucinating mother were abrasive enough to induce horrendous memories while she watched and stayed numb. Finally, her search for peace ended in her 10th grade when she found the blue book. She had to endure public insult for allegedly 'sleeping around' to times when she was forced to quit because she was told she wasn't social enough. Even then, Kalavathi felt the divine holding her hands. After falling in love a million times and being stalked to finally finding her soul mate in the end, she now chooses to leave everything behind as she crosses over 30. Today she stands as a brave boulder. Being an unabashed optimist, she hopes for her readers to connect with her journey to acknowledge that suffering can teach us more than we realize.

Book Description
Bringing The Monster to its Knees: Ben Hogan, Oakland Hills, and the 1951 U.S. Open is the first full-length book on a victory that the four-time U.S. Open champion always maintained was the "most satisfying" of his long and storied Hall of Fame career. It fills an important void in previous books on Hogan's tournament play, books covering his championship quests from Merion in 1950 to the Olympic Club in San Francisco in 1955 to Cherry Hills in 1960. The 1951 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills is unique in that it represents the first time the USGA deliberately altered a course for a championship, a practice that became common in the years that followed and continues to this day. The result was "The Monster," a creation of famed course architect Robert Trent Jones. It remains the most infamous course layout in history and arguably the most torturous test ever presented to golfers anywhere. Overcoming chronic pain that was a vestige of his near-fatal car crash in 1949, a field filled with future Hall of Fame players, and a course so devilish in its design that it was labeled "Oakland Hells," Hogan called his record-setting final round 67 in the '51 Open the "greatest round I have ever played." He then issued one of the most famous quotes in sports history: "I'm glad I brought this course—this monster—to its knees."

Book Description
Contributing to the social justice agenda of redefining what science is and what it means in the lives of real people, this book takes up the challenge of building an approach to science education from the standpoint of the learner. With this orientation to science and scientific literacy, science educators can begin to make inroads into the currently widespread irrelevance of science in the everyday lives of people.

Book Description
From Mother Goose to mentoring, being deserted to deserting, divorce to depression, bitterness to forgiveness, join Jill in her journey across six southern states as she fetches water to quench her thirsty soul. Witness how the Hound of heaven consistently serves her a love-sated ladle of living water, even when her choices seem to spurn His advances. Discovering in the midst of her myriad do-it-yourself schemes that she was being sought, she imputed the revelation that God only uses cracked cisternsand fractured she felt. Because the three Wise Men diligently searched for the promised bright star and readied their gifts amid the worlds busyness, they were the ones enlightened by Jesuss birth. Light is sown like seed only for those girded with the gift of expectation. Dwelling in darkness chains us inside a prison of our own making, but its often more comfortable than freedoms difficulties. Butit is only in falling, and in breaking our crowns, that we tumble into an acute craving for our Maker to truly exercise His uncontestable sovereignty over us. The tough, hard seed corn must be buried and broken before it blossoms. He has granted us choices: Tears or triumph? Mourning or morning? Pitiful or praising? Haphazard or holy? Do-it-yourself or divine design? Come. Bring your empty pail, and don your apron. He will fill them with the finest wheat and honey from the rock. Open your mouth wide. How much do you want?
