pokkari
You've waited several days, and finally your physician is on the phone. The results of your biopsy are in. You brace as the words come. "I'm sorry, but it's cancer." Now what? An uncertain journey looms as the dreaded word cancer invades your life. You face a vague new normal - forced to come to grips with an unwelcome sense of vulnerability; lack of control; and undeniable anxiety and fear. Howard, Stanley, and Me explores the author's eight-plus year journey with this dreaded disease. You'll be introduced to Stanley, the name ascribed to this unwelcome intruder by innocent grandchildren. You'll dive deeply into the inner thoughts, struggles, regrets, and victories of the author as cancer causes him to confront the past while an uncertain future unfolds. And you'll meet Howard - the great physician who both heals and redeems. Told from a deeply personal and reflective perspective, this book is for anyone facing a life-altering or life-threatening illness. And it is for all who love and those who treat someone walking that path. The reader will discover that God comes to us not in "pillars of clouds or fire", but in simple acts and words of love. After slogging it out for 30 years in the business world, Bill finally took the plunge to tackle his lifelong writing passions with full force. Since his "reallocation" from Corporate America in 2008, Bill has published four books, Why is the Soft-Side the Hardest Part?; That's in the Bible?; Witch's Stew; and Winston Rabbit. He was contributing author to Yes You Can, published by Insight Publishing, and also authored a full-length feature film screenplay - Out of the Heart - which won Best Thriller feature at the Illinois International Film Festival. Bill is married with five children; seventeen grandchildren; and currently volunteers for the U.S. Naval Academy Admissions Office, Unity Point Health Proctor Hospital, and AARP as a Driver Safety Instructor.

Money and Banking

Money and Banking

William D. Gerdes

Business Expert Press
2017
nidottu
Let's learn about money! Money is a market phenomenon. It originated as a spontaneous social institution, and its use is still inextricably tied to market exchange. Therefore, the analysis of money occurs in a market setting. Use of monetary systems and a market setting as the underlying parameters ideally positions the reader to examine money in its various uses: as a medium of exchange, in credit markets, and as an instrument of monetary policy. Professor Gerdes believes that the study of money should commence at the most general level. Consequently, this book is anchored in the context of monetary systems (commodity, fiduciary, and fiat monies). This gives readers a very broad perspective-helping readers understand, for example, how the money used today differs from money used in the past, or how current money relates to money discovered by anthropologists in isolated subcultures. This book is perfect for courses in traditional money and banking courses, as well as undergraduate courses in monetary theory as well as sourcebook on money for business professionals.

Atmosphere Press

Was there someone you once knew, who you wanted to stay with forever?Being of a certain age, having devoted oneself entirely to someone, if that someone is no longer in the picture, do you stop caring for others? In your desire to meet the emotional and social needs of others, who give reciprocal support, what if you get the chance to revisit old relationships; a chance to find out the 'what if...' of your past? Is it too late? Could you find compatibility, having lived diverse lives? Could joy be a two-way street? Could joy be found, when you felt it was lost?In Life and Living It by William D. Mecham, we experience the possibilities which arise when mature friends meet, lend support in their loss by sharing themselves, and sometimes rekindling forgotten dreams.

Sessions with Exodus

Sessions with Exodus

William D Shiell

Smyth Helwys Publishing, Incorporated
2020
pokkari
Sessions with Exodus is a thirteen-session study unit designed to explore the second book of the Bible and the beginnings of the story of Moses and the people of Israel. William Shiell invites believers on a journey with the Israelites from bondage into the wilderness to worship with God's presence. This study uses the questions that God's children ask throughout Exodus to spark discussion with households and study groups about the life of faith in the wilderness. As churches and faithful followers of God engage a changing world, Sessions with Exodus provides timely application to reimagine ministry as God's pilgrim community. Each session is followed by a thought-provoking page of questions that allow for a deeper experience of the scriptural passages. These resource pages can be used by seminar leaders during preparation and group discussion, as well as in individual Bible study.William D. Shiell is the eleventh President of Northern Seminary, where he also serves as Professor of Pastoral Theology and Preaching. A native of Pensacola, Florida, Dr. Shiell holds degrees from Samford University (B.A.) and Baylor University (M. Div., Ph.D.). Dr. Shiell and his wife Kelly met while in college at Samford. They have two sons, Parker and Drake. Prior to coming to Northern, Dr. Shiell served as a pastor of Baptist churches in Texas (McGregor and San Angelo); Tennessee (Knoxville); and Florida (Tallahassee).Dr. Shiell has published several books, primarily in New Testament. His pioneering work on the book of Acts combines the best of New Testament rhetoric. ancient Greek and Roman art, and oral interpretation for the church. His research interests are in the areas of the oral interpretation of scripture and the interaction of audiences with the speaker. He continues to research and write in the area of Performance Criticism as a member of the Society of Biblical Literature. His new book on Acts is a volume in a sermon-based commentary series called Preaching the Word. Bill's love of scripture can be seen whenever he preaches. He is widely known for his public readings of scripture from memory and has performed the Gospel of Mark in its entirety from memory.

The Life of Levi

The Life of Levi

William D McEachern

Litfire Publishing

sidottu
Levi is a man beset by problems. While he is wealthy, his riches are always being threatened in many different ways. As a Tax Collector for the Roman Empire, he is shunned by his fellow Jews as being ritually impure, and so all Jews want to cheat him out of tax money. Being shunned deeply wounds Levi, because he had once dreamed of being a Rabbi. He had studied in Jerusalem under the great teacher, Gamaliel, but was out-shone by a fellow student, whom he hated, Paul. Compounding things, Levi also knows that the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate, is soon to come to visit him, probably with the intention of charging him much more money to purchase the tax contracts for the toll booth at Capernaum. His brother, James, who is a fisherman, with his partner, Peter, keeps nagging him to come and listen to an itinerant preacher, Jesus, whose message is that the wealthy should give all their riches to the poor. Finally, his wife, Miriam, who loves to spend money on luxury items and dreams of visiting Rome, probably married him only for his wealth and may have a roving eye. Meanwhile, there are bandits, led by Iscariot, in the desert threatening the caravans hauling spices, silk, and other precious luxury goods, which produce the enormous tolls at Levi's toll booth. When his best friend, a Greek merchant named Maes, arrives in Capernaum with his huge caravan, which arrival should have solved most of Levi's problems, everything in Levi's life comes apart. What can put Levi's life together again?

The Trillion Dollar War Machine: How Runaway Military Spending Drives America Into Foreign Wars and Bankrupts Us at Home

The Trillion Dollar War Machine: How Runaway Military Spending Drives America Into Foreign Wars and Bankrupts Us at Home

William D. Hartung; Ben Freeman

Bold Type Books
2025
sidottu
A hard-hitting investigation into how the Pentagon's runaway spending embroils America in foreign wars, squanders its wealth, and enriches a privileged elite America spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on its military. This extraordinary spending not only detracts from our ability to address pressing social problems but compels us into foreign wars to justify our vast arsenal. Sold to us in the name of "security," our military industrial complex actually makes us far less safe. Top policy experts William D. Hartung and Ben Freeman follow the profits of militarism from traditional Pentagon contractors, which receive more than half of the Pentagon's budget, to the upstart high-tech firms that shamelessly promote unproven and destabilizing technologies. They unmask the enablers of the war machine--politicians, lobbyists, the media, Hollywood, think tanks, and so many more--whose work enriches a wealthy elite at the expense of everybody else, spreading conflict around the world and embroiling America in endless wars. A damning tour de force, The Trillion Dollar War Machine shows who is pulling the strings and pushing for war, and offers a blueprint for how we can shut down the war machine and restore American security and prosperity.

If Trees Could Testify...

If Trees Could Testify...

William D Auman

Booklocker.com
2021
pokkari
IF TREES COULD TESTIFY... is a historical mystery novel based on the true story of Madison County's infamous Gahagan murders. The homicides occurred near the Appalachian mountain town of Marshall, North Carolina, known by some as the "Jewel of the Blue Ridge," but known by locals to be "a block wide, a mile long, sky high and hell deep." The French Broad River bisects the town, which harbors both ghosts from Civil War events and the lore of mermaids.On a quiet summer night in 1983, two elderly siblings were tragically murdered in their colonial, Georgian-style home across from Big Laurel Creek. Known for their distrust of banks and having a collection of antiques, gold, and silver coins, it was naturally assumed that robbery was the principal motive for the double homicide. The murders captivated a close-knit rural community for nearly two decades, as the local family roots of the victims dated all the way back to the early 1800s.During the years that followed the senseless tragedy, a time during which the home was boarded up and abandoned, local folks rumored that they had occasionally seen the house lit up like a Christmas tree at night. There were also stories where the ghost of an elderly woman, walking and swinging a lantern, was reportedly seen along the highway which runs adjacent to the property. Some county residents have further claimed to have seen this apparition standing in a window on the second floor of the home during the time that it was vacant.Suspects came and went as the case investigation spanned three different sheriff administrations. "Who done it" rumors abounded, with theories of involvement ranging from organized crime to outlaw biker gangs to even local family members. Finally, almost eighteen years after the murders, warrants were issued charging a father and two of his sons with having committed the crimes. The defendants maintained their innocence throughout the course of the legal proceedings, which blazed a trail of intrigue with numerous twists and turns along the way.According to Fred Hughes, at the time the publisher and editor of the Madison News-Record and Sentinel, a Hollywood film crew was interested in producing a major motion picture based on the case. As noted in a subsequent editorial, Hughes was "reasonably certain" that the story could have made the silver screen, as it was full of "stranger than life events."This book should be categorized as a fictional mystery novel which is based on the true story of the murders and subsequent prosecution of those accused. Names have been changed to protect the innocent (as well as the potentially guilty), and a haunting tale is told with a focus on the search for justice for both victims and defendants. Colorful characters, including the draft-dodging son of a snake-handling minister, intertwine with more serious undertones as a surprise ending eventually unfolds. The author, William Auman, was the principal defense attorney in the actual case, and provides the reader with a dramatic and informative account of what was otherwise a tragedy to many.

Bridgebuilders

Bridgebuilders

William D. Eggers; Donald F. Kettl

Harvard Business Review Press
2023
sidottu
In the face of ever more complex societal challenges, this book provides an essential new model for transforming the public sector and getting things done.Pandemics. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We face a new generation of complex problems that stretch across the public and private sectors and flow over organizational boundaries. To meet the moment, we need a fresh, new approach that strengthens institutions and government agencies by breaking free from organizational boxes and rigid, top-down leadership.As William D. Eggers, executive director of Deloitte's Center for Government Insights, and Donald F. Kettl, public management scholar, show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders who collaborate with partners—inside and outside government—to get the job done. These leaders manage horizontally instead of vertically; they see their role as connectors; and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the unprecedented problems at hand.Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each bridgebuilding principle to work. The book also includes a special section that helps government leaders create a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.Throughout, Eggers and Kettl tell fascinating and instructive stories about some of today's bridgebuilders—federal, state, and local government leaders who transcend boundaries, partner across sectors, and get stuff done.Trusted and effective government has never been more important than today. Bridgebuilders provides a new model that current government decision makers—as well as young leaders who aspire to public service—can learn from and apply right now to transform government and restore public trust.

sidottu
"Beautifully researched, accessibly presented. I highly recommend American Crisis."Douglas Krugerauthor of Poverty Proof and Political Correctness Does More Harm Than GoodAll Americans know we are in a state of cultural crisis, but how did we get to this point? It has been said, if we seek an actual legal date for the fall of Judeo-Christian culture in America, it would be June 26, 2015, the day the Supreme Court ruled that homosexual marriage was a constitutionally protected right. But according to William D. Howard, the destruction of our country started well before that when states began changing laws and incorporating changes that had lasting repercussions on the culture as a whole. In American Crisis: The Collapse of Christian Culture, Howard takes an in-depth look at civilizations in the past, provides insights on our current culture, and warns of a future that can mean only the destruction of everything we hold dear. But this book is not without hope. Howard uses God's Word to show Christians how we can counter the social and political norms and fight for our country's moral, political, and social outlook. As our moral high ground is being chipped away one corner at a time, we need to take up the call to action and fight against the powers that seek our demise.
