Geronimo

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Geronimo's Story of His Life," the renowned Apache leader shares his gripping memoir, offering an unprecedented perspective on the tumultuous period of the American Southwest during the late 19th century. Written in collaboration with historian S. M. Barrett, this narrative combines vivid personal anecdotes with a powerful oral tradition, capturing Geronimo's experiences of resistance against American encroachment and his relentless fight for the survival of his people. The text juxtaposes his cultural heritage with the violent realities of assimilation, encapsulating the struggle of Indigenous peoples through emotionally charged prose and poignant reflections, all ensconced within the broader context of Native American history and colonial expansion. Geronimo, born Goyahkla, became a symbol of indigenous resistance after his significant role in the Apache Wars. His leadership stemmed from a deep cultural heritage and personal tragedy, including the loss of family members to settler violence. Having experienced both his people's suffering and the complexities of negotiating peace, Geronimo's account is enriched by personal conviction, making it not just a memoir, but a vital historical document. This book is essential for readers interested in Indigenous narratives, American history, and the complexities of cultural survival. Geronimo's voice resonates with authenticity, providing insights into a narrative often overlooked, inviting readers to empathize with the resilience of those fighting for identity and freedom.

Willpower: Rediscovering the...

Vines Graener

What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
What Is Willpower? 
Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
Why Does It Matter? 
From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.

Fleecy Clouds - One Woman's...

Gail Champion Barber, Alice...

Gail's family was poor but rich with love. When her mother was in the hospital giving birth to the youngest child, their house burned. Before leaving the hospital, Gail’s mother was diagnosed with cancer.  
When her mother died, Gail and her siblings went to stay with their family, eventually living at her grandmother's house. Although warned that this was not a good decision, Gail’s father felt it was his only option. However, it was nearly fatal for little Gail. Her father—her hero—saved her in the nick of time.  
The Welfare Department soon removed Gail and her two younger siblings and placed them in foster homes. They were ultimately placed at Childhaven, an orphanage for fortunate children. 
Despite great sadness and pain in their early years, Gail and her siblings grew up to be strong, loving, and faith-filled adults. But those early traumatic childhood events weighed on Gail’s body, mind, and spirit until she was in her forties. Finally agreeing to seek help, she started seeing a Christian counselor. That was the beginning of her healing journey. 
No matter how much hurt you’ve endured, there’s always a path to healing and wholeness. In Fleecy Clouds: One Woman’s Story of Surviving and Thriving after Childhood Abuse, Gail’s story is evidence of the resiliency of the human spirit, the power of love, and the never-ending mercies of a loving Father.
