Growing Up & Facts of Life

In light of everything that happened in my childhood I had some major personal issues to deal with. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Judy Cripps, gave me a small journal (which I have to this day) and told me to write my feelings and thoughts down onto paper, whether they were happy or sad or even angry. In turn my passion for writing began. Mrs. Cripps showed me that it is okay to be upset and angry as long as I did not let it consume me; she showed me a way to channel my emotions, which helped me greatly.

It's 1997 and eighty-eight year old Missouri Pickett is the matriarch of an Appalachian family in Sweetapple, Georgia. This book is about a way of life that is fast disappearing into the modern world of common language, little or no accents, and a motto of "hurry, hurry, hurry!" Certainly a way of life held dear to those who remember. Struggling with death, poverty, alcoholism, and plain ignorance is a difficult life, but Missouri handles it with a little bit of sternness and a whole lot of love in this touching story about women of the south. Mostly fictional, interwoven with true stories the author collected over a period of years from family and friends, this book is an often funny, often sobering, look at the way things were just a few short years ago. The folks inside this book will not soon be forgotten.

If you own a stock portfolio, large or small, and are unfamiliar with options investing, this is the book for you. Owning stocks of sound businesses is an excellent way to invest for the long term. They bring in income and capital gain to ensure your equity portfolio keeps up with, or exceeds, long term  inflation. Equity options play a variety of roles. They enable you to buy stocks at a discount and sell at a price above the current market level. They can protect against losses in falling markets and leverage gains in rising. They pay a premium over and above normal stock dividends. With a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of your stocks, options can increase their return and reduce the risks of owning them. This book is a comprehensive introduction to explain the fundamentals, the terminology and how to buy and sell equity options. It shows how to obtain higher rewards with less risk. It continues with fifteen worked examples of basic calls and puts, spreads, straddles, strangles and collars. It explains how each strategy enables you to generate profits in rising, falling or sideways markets. A major feature is the use of high quality diagrams and graphs for easier understanding. Nine appendices contain a mine of useful information. You could well pay for the cost of this book ten times over with your first option trade. Then you could go on to significantly increase the value of your stock portfolio.

STREET OF SECRETS is the story of a special place in a Northern city where people lived during a time when political correctness was unheard of, and severe prejudices were held about anyone different from one's own race, nationality, and religion. With the advent of World War II and specifically with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the barriers between nationalities and religions began to disappear. Families lived in enclaves of their own nationalities, clinging to the security of the familiar. It usually took several generations for them to venture out of their safety zone. The attack on Pearl Harbor hastened that change, giving rise to the slogan The Great Melting Pot. The story centers on children coming of age when the country was at the brink of war. It's about rebellion, secrets, and forbidden love, as they try to free themselves from their parents' strict control. The attack on Pearl Harbor brings both sacrifice and redemption.

Offering herein are the reflections of Paul E. Ferrier, a native of Haiti who grew up during a time before television was available to entertain and expand horizons of children. During his early childhood, elders of his family and community verbally relayed, often quite expressively and with the exuberant gestures, tales passed down through generations. Although reciting stories to youngsters have been replaced in modern society by multiple media, Paul wishes to keep these stories - so germane to his heritage - alive for future generations. Many years ago, there was a wise man called Kavadlo.  Come with Kavadlo on a spiritual journey filled with wondrous sights both joyful and tragic as he searches for his purpose in the world. You will be glad you did!

This is the story of my wife, Jan, who lived an amazing life. At the age of twelve Jan overheard the doctor tell her parents she had contracted polio and would never walk again, never have children, and never lead a normal life. She broke down in desperation that night in her quarantined hospital bed all alone with her left side completely paralyzed. That night she asked God to heal her and she promised to live for Him the rest of her life. Her desperate cry sparked the beginning of a life long personal relationship with Jan and Jesus. Over a period of eight months, she became a living miracle, she was healed and walked to church on Easter Sunday morning. Later in her life she and I had two wonderful sons and she lived so much more than a normal life. God had truly answered her prayers and gave her so much than she even asked for.In her mid sixties Jan was diagnosed with cancer. She had ten surgeries over the course of ten years. During this time Jan had radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and was treated by the best doctors at MD Anderson. During her struggles with cancer she lost her hip, pelvis, and leg to amputation. This was a brutal, difficult, painful struggle. In her fight against fear and cancer she became a beacon of hope to others in the midst of her personal darkness. In this book you will find excerpts of sixteen years and over three hundred pages of personal conversations with God which she documented without anyone's knowledge. She taught about what a Christ centered marriage looks like, she taught about the Jewish Blessing spoken of in the Torah and the Old Testament and how it is still effective and powerful for today. She taught about rebuking fear, overcoming obstacles, refusing to accept depression, holding on to hope, and intentionally choosing to live in the peace of God while facing your personal giants. Jan prayed with doctors, nurses, medical techs, people in the waiting rooms, and anyone that God put in her path. She was there for help in her life-threatening situation and instead she decided she was there to encourage and to uplift others, offer them hope, and to pray for them in their time of need.This story is about living with disappointment, facing your fears, choosing hope in the darkness, healing and restoration, intentional Biblical life choices (Jan had a list of 30 qualities she wanted in a husband prior to dating which are listed in this book), Christian parenting, and overcoming the worst that the world can give with a smile, grace, and an unshakeable belief in Jesus. This story will inspire and uplift you to see the goodness of the Lord and the hope that He gave Jan and can give to you in order to overcome and live a life of purpose, strength, hope, and joy that will not only have an effect on you, but those around you and even future generations.
