Where's My Mom and Dad?
Author: Ivanhoe Chaput
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692788042
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Having had many unexplainable brushes with possible tragic results, Ivanhoe's autobiographical journey questions the veracity of fate versus guardian help from the other side. Too many unexplained circumstances impose a belief that our lives are not simple occurrences of happenstance, but rather a supervised experience under the umbrella of a contract made with ourselves prior to our birth. As a young boy his relationship with God was one of innocent, childlike curiosity about where God lived and what he did for people through a Catholic healer named Brother Andre. His relatively religious childhood perpetuated an interest in spirituality, but his faith in secular religion faded into vacillating between atheism and agnostic until he witnessed the painful death of his mother. This is when the "knowing" aspect that she didn't die conflicted with his pragmatic methods of an engineering environment. Recounting three out-of-body experiences and an unexplainable circumstance that allowed him to look into a future event, his engineer thinking was that this is personal and tangible evidence that there's something else going on other than just physical embodiment. Not accepting that Mom was nowhere, he begins an exhaustive search into veridical near death experiences. These are near death experiences that were verifiable through others that did not have the experience. In this sense, stories of tunnels, angels, dead relatives and so on were ignored over doctor's, paramedic's and other people's accounts that the "dead" person was able to see and hear when they were clinically dead. Special attention was given to things they witnessed in places other than where the bodies of the dead were at the time. Ivanhoe makes the argument that God must exist by referencing physicists and others in the scientific community that are conceding to facts that support an intelligent energy for both the existence of the universe and that of intelligent coding within DNA. Also explained are new theories that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but that the mind can be present and conscious outside the brain. This is supported with studies being conducted by physicians documenting cases of consciousness outside the body. A postulate is made of how probabilities in a state where time has no meaning allows one to foresee future events and how those collapse into physical choices. These probabilities that in turn allow for choice are explained by way of the laws of quantum physics. This idea provides a plausible real world answer to the dichotomy that God knows all, however, only one path is ultimately chosen by way of free will. The culmination of his search is a solace for anyone that has lost a loved one.

Mom & Me & Mom
Author: Maya Angelou
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0679645470
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A moving memoir about the legendary author’s relationship with her own mother. Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick! The story of Maya Angelou’s extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother. For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them. Delving into one of her life’s most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights. Praise for Mom & Me & Mom “Mom & Me & Mom is delivered with Angelou’s trademark good humor and fierce optimism. If any resentments linger between these lines, if lives are partially revealed without all the bitter details exposed, well, that is part of Angelou’s forgiving design. As an account of reconciliation, this little book is just revealing enough, and pretty irresistible.”—The Washington Post “Moving . . . a remarkable portrait of two courageous souls.”—People “[The] latest, and most potent, of her serial autobiographies . . . [a] tough-minded, tenderhearted addition to Angelou’s spectacular canon.”—Elle “Mesmerizing . . . Angelou has a way with words that can still dazzle us, and with her mother as a subject, Angelou has a near-perfect muse and mystery woman.”—Essence

How Do You Forgive a Parent Who Has Failed You? One summer, Melissa Cistaro’s mother stepped into her baby-blue Dodge Dart and drove away, leaving behind Melissa and her brothers. Rarely seeing their mother as they were growing up, they blamed themselves for her leaving, turning to each other for support and seeking out often destructive ways to cope with living without their mom. Decades later, with children of her own, Melissa finds herself in Olympia, Washington, as her mother is dying. She has just days to find out what happened that summer and to confront the unthinkable fear that a “leaving gene” might be lying dormant inside of her. She knew she came from a long line of mothers who left their children. But when Melissa stumbles across a folder titled “Letters Never Sent” tucked away in her mother’s filing cabinet, she begins to feel the wreckage of her mother’s painful journey, before and after she abandoned her family. Alternating between Melissa’s tumultuous coming-of-age and her mother’s final days, Without My Mother is a haunting yet ultimately uplifting story of one woman’s quest to discover how our parents’ choices impact our own and how we can survive those choices to forge our own paths.
