Book Description
At a time when many boys are in crisis, a much-needed roadmap for helping boys grow into strong and compassionate men Over the past two decades there has been an explosion of new studies that have expanded our knowledge of how boys think and feel. In How to Raise a Boy, psychologist Michael Reichert draws on his decades of research to challenge age-old conventions about how boys become men. Reichert explains how the paradigms about boys needing to be stoic and "man like" can actually cause them to shut down, leading to anger, isolation, and disrespectful or even destructive behaviors. The key to changing the culture lies in how parents, educators, and mentors help boys develop socially and emotionally. Reichert offers readers step-by-step guidance in doing just this by: Listening and observing, without judgment, so that boys know they're being heard. Helping them develop strong connections with teachers, coaches, and other role models Encouraging them to talk about their feelings about the opposite sex and stressing the importance of respecting women Letting them know that they don't have to "be a man" or "suck it up," when they are experiencing physical or emotional pain. Featuring the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, How to Raise a Boy will help those who care for young boys and teenagers build a boyhood that will enable them to grow into confident, accomplished and kind men.

One October night in 1975 Richard, aged five, was alone in the house with his three sisters. It was 3am and their mother hadn't come home yet. Next morning, the police arrived to take the children away. Their mother had become the first victim of a serial killer soon to become known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'.

Whilst Richard tried to handle the terror of his violent upbringing, his sister struggled to deal with memories of sexual abuse. Without love or support they spiralled away from help or happiness. Then one day Richard McCann, having reached suicidal rock bottom, decided no one was going to rescue their lives but him. It was the beginning of an inspirational transformation. Now he is able to tell the story of how the forgotten children of violence suffer, and how they can heal. A heartbreaking, uplifting story of survival and hope.

Book Description
When life is funny, make some jokes about it. Billy Plimpton has a big dream: to become a famous comedian when he grows up. He already knows a lot of jokes, but thinks he has one big problem standing in his way: his stutter. At first, Billy thinks the best way to deal with this is to . . . never say a word. That way, the kids in his new school won’t hear him stammer. But soon he finds out this is NOT the best way to deal with things. (For one thing, it’s very hard to tell a joke without getting a word out.) As Billy makes his way toward the spotlight, a lot of funny things (and some less funny things) happen to him. In the end, the whole school will know -- If you think you can hold Billy Plimpton back, be warned: The joke will soon be on you!

Book Description
A Village Boy's Life and Rare Experience is a luminous memoir about an extraordinary phenomenon that the village of Mukulu experienced when Ezzillogazin departed from Bello mountain.They could not believe what they were seeing. It was the Ark of Ezzillogazin, the oval of God (divenora in the Mukulu vernacular). They had worshipped and venerated it for generations, and it provided them with clean drinking water and varieties of edible fruits. It had protected them from enemies.The object emerged from the shadow of the moon on top of Mount Bello. It was followed by a big sound, a bang! A bright light shone on the whole Mukulu village such that the village could witness. It sat there for a second, and then the diamond ball began rolling down the mountain, leaving the creek in its midst. The creek was later filled with fish so that people no longer had to travel far to fish in the big river. They caught fish in the creek near the village.People began screaming from inside their huts, saying. "We are innocent! Why are you leaving us?" Others said, "Don't take all. Leave us some." At that moment, I wanted young people to know that their parents lived lavishly under the protection of Ark Ezzillogazin. Also, I wanted the world to know that Mukulu was a hidden paradise, where people grew up for generations under the protection of Ezzillogazin.That event took place when I was five years old, and I can still remember it vividly at seventy-two. For me, it's as if it happened yesterday. It was so powerful that it was hard to forget. Another thing is that before the departure of Ezzillogazin, the whole village was shut in by torrential rain for six days, so people couldn't go to the farm. It kept raining off and on. Creeks around the village were flooded, and then on the seventh day, the block of diamond emerged, followed by the powerful bang. It happened just as people were eating their dinner, so that both old and young could bear witness to it.The second part of the book deals with my adventures to the city of Fort-Lamy at age eleven. Today, it is called N'Djamena. Driven by hardship and in search of better opportunities in the city, I hoped to find work to help myself. However, because I was underage, I could not find work, and I became a burden to my aunt. Aged fifteen and expecting[LH1], the novelty soon wore off.I left Tchad and followed my friend to Sudan. In Sudan, I spent close to six years struggling trying to get into school, but I proved to be a failure. I decided to change my nationality to become a refugee from Angola. I registered at UNHCR, and my status as a refugee from Angola was recognized. I asked for education, and they took me to Rumbek Secondary School. I finished and got a scholarship from Sudan Council of Churches to study theology.The word theology sounded like zoology, and I was excited that I was going to study zoology, but it turned out to be theology. I had never come across the word theology or knew what it meant. But I had learned zoology in geography class.I was sent to Saint Paul Unity Theological College in Limuru, Kenya. I spent four years there finishing my studies. Giffin Bible College in Doleib Hill in Malakal Sudan (now South Sudan) offered me a teaching position. There I met William Bill, the principal director, and his wife, Lois, his assistant.I taught for three years. Based on the merits of my behavior, teaching performance, and relationship with my students, they offered me a scholarship to the Interdenominational Theological Center in the United States of America.
