Book Description
Ten percent of the population is affected by a learning disability, but few of us understand what being learning disabled (LD) is really like. When he was fourteen, Bradlee was diagnosed with Velo-Cardio-Facial-Syndrome (VCFS), a wide-spread, little-understood disorder that is expressed through a wide range of physical ailments and learning disabilities. In this funny, moving, and often irreverent book, Bradlee tells his own inspirational story of growing up as an LD kid -- and of doing so as the child of larger-than-life, formidably accomplished parents: long-time Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee and bestselling author Sally Quinn. From his difficulties reading social cues, to his cringe-worthy loss of sexual innocence, Bradlee describes the challenges and joys of living "a different life" with disarming candor and humor. By the end of A Different Life he will have become, if not your best friend, one of your favorite people.

Book Description
It's time you knew the truth about leadership, and that is exactly what Richard Allen unveils in The Genesis Principle of Leadership. Through careful examination of original intent, Richard Allen silences the age-old argument of nature versus nurture. He concludes leaders are not born! Leaders are not made! Leaders are created-in God's image that is. The capacity for great leadership is an inherent, created aptitude within each of us. Not only did God equip us to lead, He also commands us to lead. The Genesis Principle of Leadership reminds us of our unique personhood, designed specifically for effective leadership and aids in reclaiming and cultivating this created capacity. Don't be fooled! You do have the right stuff for leadership! You can be the leader God has called you to be!

Book Description
Stories to Share with My Partner Book 2 is my second compilation of short stories and poems written in 2019 and 2020. The main reason for publishing these stories and poems is to again try, and I mean try, to make you smile and laugh at the outlandish storylines and to bring you a few minutes of fun. Once again, these stories should take you no longer than four minutes to read, so sit back and enjoy some very easy reading. From the first story, MY FIRST BOOK, which really got the whole idea of publishing in my mind to its fruition to SISTER KATE, based on a mostly true story in my youth. Ending with THE HAPPY VALLEY AGENCY FOR TIME TRAVEL, all these stories sprung from my mind during one of the many writing meetings I took part with a remarkable group of inspiring authors. Not to say that the story RETIREMENT PLAN did not cross my mind in my youth. Tell who you know that does not want an easier life if he/she can get away with it. My heroes in my youth arrive in my story SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF THE FUTURE. How I would love to have something like this happen in real life. Thank goodness for the imagination we humans have! My years at the orphanage are in some stories, for example, THE GREAT BATTLE and THE GREAT ESCAPE and THE MOST UNUSUAL JOB I EVER HAD actually happened but names have been change to protect many of those involved but if they purchase the book, they will see themselves and laugh. During my many trips into the city, the sounds of THE TRAIN JOURNEY came alive in my mind, so I had to put them down on paper. Going back to my youth, I based the story LISTEN TO YOUR HEART on a bullying moment that happen to me and stayed in my heart and soul ever since. Finally, the poem TWO OF ME reflects what many immigrants feel as they embrace their new lives. Once again, all these stories and poems are my attempts at the entertainment writing world. Do I succeed? Only you will know after reading the stories. Please shoot me a quick email at [email protected] and give me your thoughts. Thank you for your purchase and your support.

Book Description
Make the Most of Your Time with Your Children On the day of their baby dedication, Eryn and her husband were given a jar of 936 pennies. The jar contained a penny for every week they would raise their child until graduation, and they were instructed to remove one penny each Sunday as a reminder, placing it into another jar as an investment. At some point every parent realizes time is moving swiftly, and they ask themselves, How am I investing in my child? Through personal stories and biblical examples, 936 Pennies will help you discover how to capture time and use it to its fullest potential, replacing guilt and regrets with freedom. Meanwhile, your kids will see how simple choices, like putting the cell phone down and going on a family hike, will make all the difference. Together you will stretch time and make it richer. Craft a family legacy in tune with God's heartbeat as you capture a new vision for your children and learn the best ways to spend your pennies.
