Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
An autobiography, this is a first-hand account of a troubled teen who had way more than his fair share of misfortune. Born bald and innocent, Bobby was just three years old when his father died. The sun rose and set many times before his hair grew long and trouble came knocking at his door. Following in his father's footsteps, a guy who never learned to slow down and who died young, Bobby makes his first trip to reform school at age fourteen, quickly learning that he is as tough or tougher than the other young outlaws on the block. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are all part of his personality, and the girls think he is pretty cool. After a terrible motorcycle crash in 1981, Bobby is paralyzed from his chest to the tips of his toes. He is lucky to be alive and he knows it. This troubled teen develops into a man who hopes his story will help turn other people "from their evil ways." Bobby Fordham says, "I am a T-4 paraplegic, which put an abrupt end to my criminal career and fist fighting days."

The Hero's Journey Toward a Second American Century
Author: Michael E. Salla
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313075646
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The hero's journey is a process of (re)discovery of the principles that make up the national identity of a country. These principles must then be applied in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. For the seventh time in its history, America has discovered a grand synthesis of power and morality in projecting its resources and principles into the global arena. This makes possible a more assertive, moral foreign policy course in responding to a range of foreign policy challenges. Of these challenges, Salla asserts, the most profound in terms of the scale of human suffering around the planet is that concerning violations of the rights of ethnic minorities. Ethnic conflicts and the humanitarian crises and massive human rights violations they generate form a foreign policy challenge that will preoccupy the minds of policy makers for much of the 21st century. NATO's intervention in the Kosovo crisis is the high water mark for America's seventh hero's journey. The intervention sends a decisive signal to all governments that the U.S. and its allies will no longer remain inactive in the face of states attempting to militarily repress the aspirations of their ethnic minorities. This moral interventionism can safely be extended well into the 21st century if policy makers wisely combine the moral principles and foreign policy challenges that make up both the Second American Century and America's (Seventh) Hero's journey. This provocative analysis will be of interest to all scholars, students, and researchers involved with the development of American foreign policy.

The Second American Revolutionary War for Independence
Author: David Pedri
Publisher: Inspiring Voices
ISBN: 1462412866
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
The Second American Revolutionary War for Independence is Book II of my Trilogy, The Indivisible Light. It tells the story of a resourceful and heroic American patriot, David, Angela, his wife, and his right hand man, Michael, who come to know the diabolically inspired and directed Enemy, a vast array of fronts and tactics designed to mask their evil intention of destroying Christian civilization, especially America, the last bastion of liberty. With a determined confidence in God, the men lead the average, big hearted Americans in forming a militia that achieves victory with private arms, sharp wits and courage born of Faith. The reader is invited to fight alongside David in spirit and in imagination as our unflinching hero meets seemingly impossible odds that are, unfortunately, a frighteningly realistic projection of what America will face in less than a decade of this writing. Every woman will weep with Angela as she watches her husband and father of their children entering into harm’s way. They will pray with her for his return to life after news reports of his certain death are made public. This is the story of war, its logistics and the fear of death, but most of all it is the story of hope, the necessary foundation of courage and daring, emotions of the irascible appetite, often accompanied by anger, their companion in facing arduous opposition.
