Book Description
Many people dismiss the world of the paranormal as impossible. Others, based on their own unsatisfactory experiences, conclude that all claims of profound intuitiveness amount to fakery. Fictionalized images of sorcerers and soothsayers consorting with unholy forces linger among us, while media exposés of pseudo-psychics leave little room for the voices of genuinely gifted extrasensory consultants to be heard and fairly judged. When God Taps You On The Shoulder is a response to these common negative connotations. It is the testimony of Lillian Cosby, a woman whose supernatural gifts were evident from early childhood, but who did not accept her abilities until her early thirties. In service to those who seek her, Lillian Cosby's biography ranges from city neighbors, schoolchildren, and high national government officials, to the glitter of the entertainment world, corporate Tokyo, and beyond. Beneath the brilliance of her own star status, however, Lillian remains grounded in Spirit. When God Taps You On The Shoulder offers wisdom born of experience as well as concrete spiritual techniques to move us towards a deeper relationship with the Divine.

Little Taps on the Shoulder from God
Author: Mary Hollingsworth
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449413250
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
A touch can mean so much--friends who reach out to comfort one another, parents who offer a reassuring hand, even strangers who extend a silent sign of consolation. But when that comforting caress comes from a higher power, it carries even more meaning. It's God's way of letting us know he is with us, watching over us, protecting us, helping us through life's adversities.What better time than now for a book like Little Taps on the Shoulder from God, an inspirational volume that provides a place of quiet refuge amidst the world's chaos, war, and terrorism. Through wonderful anecdotes interspersed with touching quotations, inspirational writings, and thought-provoking scripture, Little Taps on the Shoulder from God gives evidence that we are loved. Take the story of Missouri senator Thomas Benton, who narrowly missed an instant death in 1844 when he turned to speak to a friend who'd laid a hand on his shoulder. He was so moved by his escape that he revamped his entire life. Or the graduate student who felt an unmistakable hand on her shoulder while driving alone through a bitter storm. The experience gave her a calm that's lasted more than 20 years. As Little Taps on the Shoulder from God proves, the almighty doesn't always need drama to get our attention. Instead, he often comes softly, like a snowflake or a rainbow or a tap on the shoulder. With this beautifully illustrated book, readers will find reassurance that God is present in their everyday lives.

Not My First Rodeo
Author: Kristi Noem
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 1538707071
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
South Dakota governor Kristi Noem tells her rough and tumble story of growing up on a ranch, and how a blessed life of true grit taught her how to lead. “We don’t complain about things, Kristi. We fix them.” Taking her father’s words to heart, South Dakota's first woman governor Kristi Noem shares heartfelt – and heartbreaking – lessons on making things right in the world, from her childhood on a farm in the vastness of rural America, to the marbled halls of Congress, to the national spotlight amid a global pandemic. From humorous barnyard battles with feisty cattle and rodeo horses, to the tragic and untimely death of her larger-than-life father, to her decision to her decision to return and run the farm and ranch with her family, Noem invites readers into a life defined by work, faith, and helping others. Noem's reflections are offered in the familiar, unvarnished voice of a woman who later defied Washington’s most powerful politicians and led the people of her small, hardscrabble state through natural disasters, the pain of a global pandemic, and the fear and turmoil that gripped the nation after. While filled with plenty of candid observations and refreshingly frank assessments of the country's leading figures, the memoir's most powerful moments nevertheless come from honest glimpses into marriage, motherhood, and leadership in an unpredictable time. Far from a book about politics, Not My First Rodeo is the story of a life lived so far – with characters as richly textured as the Black Hills, and reflections as gentle and powerful as America itself.

If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name
Author: Heather Lende
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1565126564
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
“Part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott, essayist and NPR commentator Heather Lende introduces readers to life in the town of Haines, Alaska . . . subtly reminding readers to embrace each day, each opportunity, each life that touches our own and to note the beauty of it all.” —The Los Angeles Times Tiny Haines, Alaska, is ninety miles north of Juneau, accessible mainly by water or air—and only when the weather is good. There's no traffic light and no mail delivery; people can vanish without a trace and funerals are a community affair. Heather Lende posts both the obituaries and the social column for her local newspaper. If anyone knows the going-on in this close-knit town—from births to weddings to funerals—she does. Whether contemplating the mysterious death of eccentric Speedy Joe, who wore nothing but a red union suit and a hat he never took off, not even for a haircut; researching the details of a one-legged lady gold miner's adventurous life; worrying about her son's first goat-hunting expedition; observing the awe-inspiring Chilkat Bald Eagle Festival; or ice skating in the shadow of glacier-studded mountains, Lende's warmhearted style brings us inside her small-town life. We meet her husband, Chip, who owns the local lumber yard; their five children; and a colorful assortment of quirky friends and neighbors, including aging hippies, salty fishermen, native Tlingit Indians, and volunteer undertakers—as well as the moose, eagles, sea lions, and bears with whom they share this wild and perilous land. Like Bailey White's tales of Southern life or Garrison Keillor's reports from the Midwest, NPR commentator Heather Lende's take on her offbeat Alaskan hometown celebrates life in a dangerous and breathtakingly beautiful place. Heather Lende's new book, Of Bears and Ballots: An Alaskan Adventure in Small-Town Politics is available now.

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Middle school can be full of half-real friends. Meet Faith Seymour. She's new to Creekland Middle School. Faith had to leave her best friend, Caitlin, behind in the old neighborhood. She had been at her old school since kindergarten. This year would be a year of change and challenges. She was on a mission to find a real live genuine friend. Little did she know the year would be full of many missions, many lessons, and many question-filled moments. Faith was familiar with questioning. She'd been questioning since she was born or at least since she could talk, "What does my name mean?" When she was three-years-old, her little brother was born, and his arrival brought more questions because her family found out Jacob (that's her brother) was profoundly deaf. Later, they were told he has Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) too. He was diagnosed to go blind by the time he turned ten-years-old. Faith would face questions that would force her to grapple with and grab hold of the true definition of her name.
