Philanthropy has existed in various forms in all cultures and civilizations throughout history, yet most people know little about it and its distinctive place in our lives. Why does philanthropy exist? Why do people so often turn to philanthropy when we want to make the world a better place? In essence, what is philanthropy? These fundamental questions are tackled in this engaging and original book. Written by one of the founding figures in the field of philanthropic studies, Robert L. Payton, and his former student sociologist Michael P. Moody, Understanding Philanthropy presents a new way of thinking about the meaning and mission of philanthropy. Weaving together accessible theoretical explanations with fascinating examples of philanthropic action, this book advances key scholarly debates about philanthropy and offers practitioners a way of explaining the rationale for their nonprofit efforts.
"Poignant . . . Well worth the read." —Wall Street JournalIn December 1944, Frank Sisson deployed to Europe as part of General George S. Patton’s famed Third Army. Over the next six months, as the war in Europe raged, Sisson would participate in many of World War II’s most consequential events, from the Battle of the Bulge to the liberation of Dachau. Now 95 years old, Frank shares his remarkable story of life under General Patton for the first time.Frank Sisson grew up in rural Oklahoma during the Great Depression. His father died when Frank was young, and so in 1944, at age eighteen, Frank, like so many other young men across America, enlisted in the Army and was deployed to France. At a traffic intersection one day, Frank caught his first glimpse of the man who would control the next six months of Frank’s deployment, and whose lessons, and spirit, would shape the rest of Frank’s life. General Patton could be erratic and short-tempered—but he was also a brilliant military tactician and cared deeply for the men who served under him, a credo that gave Frank and his fellow soldiers solace as they faced death every day. In this gritty, intimate account, Frank reveals what life on the ground was really like in the closing days of World War II. After the war, Frank continued to serve in the army as a military police inspector in Berlin. When he finally returned home, he attended college and built a career in business. Like many members of the Greatest Generation, he was often reluctant to share his stories of the war, in all their glory, and terror. He was content to live and work in the nation he had fought to protect, an embodiment of the American Dream. Patton, on the other hand, would not live to see the postwar world he helped create. In December 1945, less than a year after the conclusion of the war, he tragically died following a car accident. Now, seventy-five years later, Frank Sisson’s remarkable reminiscences provide a fresh, unique look at Patton’s leadership, the final days of World War II and its direct aftermath, and the experience of combat on the front lines.

Footprints: Raising Godly Children: The Life and Legacy of Robert L. Hoover Sr.
Robert L. Hoover Jr
Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

nidottu
In his book, FOOTPRINTS: Raising Godly Children, Robert L. Hoover Jr. exposes a lack of godly parenting in America today. His straight forward approach to expressing timeless truths taught in the Bible about parental involvement, discipline and making children accountable are unparalleled in today's society. In today's world and unfortunately, even in the church world, common sense and Biblical correctness is woefully absent in far too many homes. Mr. Hoover has taken his many years of experience in the ministry, combined with his experiences in the business world and now in the public school system to weave what will be to many, a provocative and head scratching account of what it means to be a good dad by Biblical standards. Frankly, the words of this book are against the grain and counter-cultural to all that seems normal by todays standards of parenting and raising godly children. Mr. Hoover digs into the Scripture to look at good dads of the Bible and bad dads. Some will surprise the reader. As the contemporary measuring stick Mr. Hoover uses his own dad, Robert L. Hoover Sr. as the example; and what a measuring stick it is indeed All three of Mr. Hoover Sr.'s children not only are Spirit filled Christians, but they are all in ministry. All twelve of the grandchildren are also Spirit filled Christians with several feeling the call into full time ministry. Mr. Hoover also spins humor and light comedy in his writing as he describes what it was like living in his dads home as a child. Some of the stories will amuse, and entertain you while others will bring a tear or two to your eye. But the bottom line is, that there has never been a time in American History where dads are so badly needed and sadly are too often missing or are not fulfilling their duties. The male reader, if he takes the words of these pages as a standard, will become a better dad. The ladies who read will obviously become better moms and wives and the children who read here will learn to strive to be better mom's and dad's as they approach their adult years.

Thompson, FAIA, is the founder and lead design principal of the Portland-based firm TVA Architects, a firm that has built a foundation of collaboration, innovation, and conservation through beautiful design. He is responsible for the design of many of the most prominent buildings throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. TVA Architects creatively transforms their clients' needs and aspirations into elegantly understated works of meaningful architecture, meticulously detailed and impeccably crafted. The projects documented in this book coincide with the fortieth anniversary of this celebrated architect and his body of work as a designer and innovator. He founded TVA Architects in 1984 and built an internationally recognised practice, starting in the Pacific Northwest. In 1993, at the age of thirty-nine, Thompson was the youngest architect in America to be inducted into the American Institute of Architects’ College of Fellows for his contribution to the profession. Thompson and TVA Architects have been honored with scores of local, national, and international awards for excellence in design. His projects have ranged from major corporate campuses, high-rise office towers and condominium towers, sports and recreational facilities, retail and cultural projects as well as multi- and single-family residences. This lavishly illustrated monograph, filled with full-colour photography and detailed plans, forms a compilation of select work that celebrates Thompson’s influence across architecture over several decades.

Bien qu'il ne soit pas tr s connu de nos jours, Robert Chapman fut l'un des chr tiens les plus respect s de sa g n ration. Son attitude humble et bienveillante a produit un effet consid rable sur les vies d'hommes tels que George M ller, J. Hudson Taylor, John Nelson Darby, et Charles Spurgeon. Ces hommes remarquables s'accordaient dire que Chapman tait un g ant parmi eux.Cet homme exceptionnel servait Dieu dans la petite ville de Barnstaple, en Angleterre, au cours du XIXe si cle. Chapman vita d lib r ment la publicit parce qu'il ne voulait pas attirer sur lui l'attention qui revenait de droit son Seigneur. Pourtant, vers la fin de sa vie, il tait reconnu travers le monde pour sa grande compassion, sa sagesse et son amour. Cette parole le caract risait: Ma t che est d'aimer, sans chercher ce que les autres m'aiment en retour. La vie de Robert Chapman ne peut faire autrement que de mettre le peuple du Seigneur au d fi d'approfondir son attachement Christ et d'aimer les autres avec plus d'abn gation. Nous parlons des cieux, mais Robert Chapman y vit ...] Il vit ce que j'enseigne. - John Nelson Darby

The dramatic battlefield deaths of brother Union Army commanders Robert L. McCook and Daniel McCook, Jr.--members of a prominent Ohio family known as "the Fighting McCooks"--drew the full attention of the news media and a war-weary nation. A veteran of Shiloh and Chickamauga, Colonel Daniel McCook was mortally wounded while leading his brigade in a reckless assault up Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864, on the orders of his friend and former law partner General William Tecumseh Sherman. Brigadier General Robert L. McCook distinguished himself in the western Virginia campaign before he was shot by a Rebel while riding in an ambulance in the summer of 1862. His death, in what was an apparent ambush, set off a firestorm of outrage throughout the North.
