Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge


Book Description

Have you ever had a hard time expressing your feelings and thoughts into words that truly convey your emotions, intentions, and love? Albert Einstein once said, "I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterward." Charlie Hungloe and Samantha "Sam" Sterling, who are two detectives that don't usually carry guns but instead use martial arts to fight and are the main characters in Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge, have similar challenges. Charlie and Sam have at times had trouble expressing through their actions and with words what they really intend to say but rarely do. So why don't Charlie and Sam just say what they mean? Well, maybe they are! Growing relationships are built on more than just faith, trust, patience, physical needs, etc. Relationships often occur when different people are together with the same mind-set but different audio frequencies. When this happens, life can become chaotic, complex, frustrating, and often very, very comical! Like when Charlie gives Sam some instructions, and Sam follows the instructions but on a different thought frequency. Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge is about a relationship that is sometimes set on two different frequencies. Charlie and Sam show us how to overcome the challenge. To overcome this challenge, you will read and feel Charlie's and Sam's heartbeating excitement, fears, love, and faith in each other. Also, how Charlie uses laughter and comedy to both hide and communicate his feelings for Sam. First Corinthians 13:1 says, "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." Angels do exist! And maybe, just maybe, sometimes they are sitting right beside you! Let's find out!

Antoine of Oregon : A Story of the Oregon Trail


Book Description

Antoine of Oregon : A Story of the Oregon Trail The author of this series of stories for children has endeavored simply to show why and how the descendants of the early colonists fought their way through the wilderness in search of new homes. The several narratives deal with the struggles of those adventurous people who forced their way westward, ever westward, whether in hope of gain or in answer to "the call of the wild," and who, in so doing, wrote their names with their blood across this country of ours from the Ohio to the Columbia. To excite in the hearts of the young people of this land a desire to know more regarding the building up of this great nation, and at the same time to entertain in such a manner as may stimulate to noble deeds, is the real aim of these stories. In them there is nothing of romance, but only a careful, truthful record of the part played by children in the great battles with those forces, human as well as natural, which, for so long a time, held a vast 4 portion of this broad land against the advance of home seekers. With the knowledge of what has been done by our own people in our own land, surely there is no reason why one should resort to fiction in order to depict scenes of heroism, daring, and sublime disregard of suffering in nearly every form.

Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa


Book Description

"Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa explores how different masculinities modulate substance use, interpersonal violence, suicidality, and AIDS as well as recovery cross-culturally. With a focus on three male protagonists living in very distinct urban areas of Cape Town, this comparative ethnography shows that men's struggles to become invulnerable increase vulnerability. Through an analysis of masculinities as social assemblages, the study shows how affective health problems are tied to modern individualism rather than African 'tradition' that has become a clichâe in Eurocentric gender studies. Affective health is conceptualized as a balancing act between autonomy and connectivity that after colonialism and apartheid has become compromised through the imperative of self-reliance. This book provides a rare perspective on young men's vulnerability in everyday life that may affect the reader and spark discussion about how masculinities in relationships shape physical and psychological health. Moreover, it shows how men change in the face of distress in ways that may look different than global health and gender transformative approaches envision. Thick descriptions of actual events over the life course make the study accessible to both graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences. Contributing to current debates on mental health and masculinity, the volume will be of interest to scholars from a number of disciplines including anthropology, gender studies, African studies, psychology and global health"--
