What World we live in .... Life is a Story - story.one


Book Description

Look for yourself - here are a few quotes: "We are looking for something binding in a world full of freedom. A free bird looking for a cage? Which image does symbolise this thought?" "Loving someone is a decision you make every day. Start with yourself. Decide to love yourself every day." "I am an open book maybe you don ́t speak my language or have my intellect to understand me." "It is about time me being emotionally aware I am learning to see and to live in color. I see in color now I don ́t live my life in black and white anymore." "I love my body for the story it carries, but to them, it's just the physical form with its flaws and imperfections. They can't see the history behind my stretch marks or scars."




Intentional Living


Book Description

John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

This World We Live in


Book Description

The highly anticipated follow-up to Life As We Knew It and The Dead and the Gone




Dear Friend. Life is a Story - story.one


Book Description

The world is filled with many strangers we pass, yet somehow never forget. At times we smile with our eyes, laugh in our heads, express gratitude with our arms, and connect with our lips. In other cases, we yell from our lungs, drop tears through our lenses and bring a fire with our fists. Nonetheless, one thing must be said: We live in this world together. In "Dear Friend" we will experience the journey of different stages in our lives through letters written for all walks of life. Inspired by the people we have briefly crossed paths with and the Friends we have ever since made. Here, we all become Friends because each letter is written for you. To the Wild Flowers blooming in the dark, the loneliness that sits beneath our hearts, and the Lovers we have found and those we are yet to find. To the World. We express hand in hand with letters what we cannot express in the lapses of time. I hope this book can prove to be The Vessel For Our Thoughts.




Life as We Knew it


Book Description

I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald's still would be open. High school sophomore Miranda's disbelief turns to fear in a split second when an asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth, like "one marble hits another." The result is catastrophic. How can her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis are wiping out the coasts, earthquakes are rocking the continents, and volcanic ash is blocking out the sun? As August turns dark and wintery in northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of a wood-burning stove. Told in a year's worth of journal entries, this heart-pounding story chronicles Miranda's struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world. An extraordinary series debut Susan Beth Pfeffer has written several companion novels to Life As We Knew It, including The Dead and the Gone, This World We Live In, and The Shade of the Moon.
