Finding Sobriety: All My Secrets

Finding sobriety was a long journey for me. My alcoholism started when I was a teenager. I felt its important to share my story to give a perspective of what its like to live this disease. The misunderstanding of what alcoholism and addiction is; a gap getting bigger in today"s world of "lets just take all drugs away and put these people to work" which is an attitude of death to those in addiction. I wanted to show the progression of the disease. My first book is about living the life of alcoholism and addiction how it progressed in my life, and the consequences. The second book is the long journey to go from the end of my first book and how I finally found recovery. I hope my books inspire talk. Talk about hard things between people. I also want to give an inside look at how hard the fight is to recovery and its not an easy fix. I also have theory of the war on drugs being to kill off addicts the way its been handled which is upsetting.

Struggles will come mixed with trouble, But God assured His presence through my visions and my dreams and my life experiences. God has an answer for me and for you if we learn to trust Him. Trust in His Word and hide it in your heart.Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. (Prov. 4:23, KJV)We are to create and to become builders. My faith walk passed through some dark times in my life, and no one was there. But God delivered me from test and trials and being shot at with fiery darts. God was there. I found my safe place in God, peace in God. When everything seems to be going wrong in your life, "But God."

This is the true story of a family who were missionaries in China, Vietnam, and Congo during war, chaos, revolution, and massacre. If it was dangerous, it happened to them. The story includes the capture and years of separation from their parents for two of the young children while they were held in prison camps. For others in the family, life included hiding in caves; seeing dead bodies float down the river; encounters with drug-crazed rebels, starvation, and surviving untreated exotic diseases. It is more than a story of survival. If you don't believe in miracles now, you will.

Between God and Hitler

Between God and Hitler

Doris L. Bergen

Cambridge University Press
2023
sidottu
During the Second World War, approximately 1000 Christian chaplains accompanied Wehrmacht forces wherever they went, from Poland to France, Greece, North Africa, and the Soviet Union. Chaplains were witnesses to atrocity and by their presence helped normalize extreme violence and legitimate its perpetrators. Military chaplains played a key role in propagating a narrative of righteousness that erased Germany's victims and transformed the aggressors into noble figures who suffered but triumphed over their foes. Between God and Hitler is the first book to examine Protestant and Catholic military chaplains in Germany from Hitler's rise to power, to defeat, collapse, and Allied occupation. Drawing on a wide array of sources – chaplains' letters and memoirs, military reports, Jewish testimonies, photographs, and popular culture – this book offers insight into how Christian clergy served the cause of genocide, sometimes eagerly, sometimes reluctantly, even unknowingly, but always loyally.

Independence Training for Visually Handicapped Children
First published in 1981, this book was written to help parents and teachers to participate in child-based mobility programmes, covering the needs of visually-handicapped children from pre-school to adulthood. It gives insight into ways in which these figures can make the world meaningful to young children, as well as making them aware of the special training that is necessary to develop the social skills of daily living that a sighted child acquires through imitation. Travel techniques must be learnt to enable these children to move independently and the book describes various methods that can be used by the blind traveller. It also examines the role of physical education and dance, both of particular importance for the visually-handicapped child at school age.

Queer Tracks: Subversive Strategies in Rock and Pop Music
Queer Tracks describes motifs in popular music that deviate from heterosexual orientation, the binary gender system and fixed identities. This exciting cutting-edge work deals with the key concepts of current gender politics and queer theory in rock and pop music, including irony, parody, camp, mask/masquerade, mimesis/mimicry, cyborg, transsexuality, and dildo. Based on a constructivist concept of gender, Leibetseder asks: ’Which queer-feminist strategies are used in rock and pop music?’ ’How do they function?’ ’Where do they occur?’ Leibetseder's methodological process is to discover subversive strategies in queer theory, which are also used in rock and pop music, without assuming that these tactics were first invented in theory. Furthermore, this book explains where exactly the subversiveness is situated in those strategies and in popular music. With the help of a new kind of knowledge transfer the author combines sociological and cultural theories with practical examples of rock and pop music. The subversive character of these queer motifs is shown in the work of contemporary popular musicians and is at the same time related to classical discourses of the humanities. Queer Tracks is a revised translation of Queere Tracks. Subversive Strategien in Rock- und Popmusik, originally published in German.
When Marx Mattered

When Marx Mattered

Doris Fine; Harold J. Bershady

Routledge
2017

A beautifully written, trenchant, and moving memoir, When Marx Mattered follows Harold J. Bershady's odyssey from childhood through his coming of intellectual age. The wounds and pleasures of his childhood include fear of Nazis, poverty, the joys and constraints of Jewishness, his caring family and love of music, and the confusion surrounding World War II. In this book, Bershady describes his teenage encounter with Marxism and how it provided some understanding of the world and hope for peace.Bershady gives us a serious portrayal of the evolution of scholarly judgment, but also a social history of the second half of the twentieth century, refracted through the author's own experiences in which Jewish Americans played an important but under-appreciated part. Along the way, the author corrects the misapprehension that Jewish or non-Jewish American political radicals only evolve into conservatives. Through his own mistakes and hard-won lessons, Bershady shows the power, importance, and morality that intellectual standards play in enabling an intellectual to achieve sound and fair judgments.Bershady firmly believes that his achievements in the social sciences are grounded in the fact that he also studied philosophy, literature, and history all of which immeasurably deepened his understanding of social life. The generational portrait in this book is both an homage to those who preceded him and a hope for educational broadening of social science in the generation to come.
