In life, we all have two choices: be the ominous cloud that people avoid and run from, or be the warm light that manages to peek through to be a guiding force for the world. That light reveals lifes infinite possibilities and assures them that no matter what, The Sun Is Always Shining. Escaping the darkness is no easy feat. It takes every bit of courage one can muster upthrough faith. DeAntwann Johnson takes us on a riveting, fact-based journey about Jeremy Deon Allen, a youth whose childhood, rampant with abandonment, rejection, abuse, instability, and the perils of the child welfare system, threatens to push him into a life of crime, years in prisonand possibly an early death. Learn how Jeremy harnessed all of his painful events and lessons, climbed out of the darkness, and chose to shine. By embracing a life upheld with strong Christian values, and making a conscious decision to tear down the wall of constraint that endangered his future, he stepped into a life of victory, purpose, and service. See how Jeremys story encourages youth, whose worlds are rife with chaos, to bravely weather their storms, seek the sun in their hearts, and win in their lives.

Popular culture is invariably a vehicle for the dominant ideas of its age. Never was this more true than in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when it reflected the nationalist and imperialist ideologies current throughout Europe. When they were being entertained or educated the British basked in their imperial glory and developed a powerful notion of their own superiority. This book examines the various media through which nationalist ideas were conveyed in late Victorian and Edwardian times--in the theatre, "ethnic" shows, juvenile literature, education, and the iconography of popular art. Several chapters look beyond the first world war when the most popular media, cinema and broadcasting, continued to convey an essentially late nineteenth-century world view, while government agencies like the Empire Marketing Board sought to convince the public of the economic value of empire. Youth organizations, which had propagated imperialist and militarist attitudes before the war, struggled to adapt to the new internationalist climate.

The smile is the icon of our childhood. When we are kids, we always smile, we laugh for no reason out of all the little aspects of our lives, we feel free and we transform everything into a game. Even when we are serious, our hearts are clean, and laughter and smiles are a second away. But as we grow up and mature, life installs in with its usual problems, difficult situations, and sometimes unwanted circumstances, and smiling becomes a hard thing to do. This book is created for those of us that forgot how it feels to smile, those who need to be reminded that nothing heals more our hearts and minds than a simple and sincere smile.I will guide you throughout the book on a journey where we can remember together the importance of the smile, and where we will see which practices we can do to bring back our smiles and rejoice in its tremendous power to make us whole, again.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE FEATURED IN THE OBSERVER'S SPORTS WRITERS' BOOKS OF THE YEAR On 15 April 1989, 96 people were fatally injured on a football terrace at an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield. The Hillsborough disaster was broadcast live on the BBC; it left millions of people traumatised, and English football in ruins. And the Sun Shines Now is not a book about Hillsborough. It is a book about what arrived in the wake of unquestionably the most controversial tragedy in the post-war era of Britain's history. The Taylor Report. Italia 90. Gazza's tears. All seater stadia. Murdoch. Sky. Nick Hornby. The Premier League. The transformation of a game that once connected club to community to individual into a global business so rapacious the true fans have been forgotten, disenfranchised. In powerful polemical prose, against a backbone of rigorous research and interviews, Adrian Tempany deconstructs the past quarter century of English football and examines its place in the world. How did Hillsborough and the death of 96 Liverpool fans come to change the national game beyond recognition? And is there any hope that clubs can reconnect with a new generation of fans when you consider the startling statistic that the average age of season ticket holder here is 41, compared to Germany's 21? Perhaps the most honest account of the relationship between the football and the state yet written, And the Sun Shines Now is a brutal assessment of the modern game.
