  In One of A Kind: Making Things Happen, Tony Moore shares the remarkable true story of a life shaped by hardship, unexpected change, and the determination to rise above every challenge. Born in Northampton, England, Tony’s early life was, marked by the death of his mother, childhood illness, foster care, children’s homes, boarding school, loss, and uncertainty. Yet through every painful turn, he learned how to adapt, survive, and make the most of the hand life had dealt him.With honesty, warmth, and unmistakable British humor, Tony reflects on the people who shaped him, especially the unforgettable “Auntie,” the guardian angel figure who gave him love, stability, and strength when he needed it most. From England in the 50s and 60s filled with childhood adventures to business, friendship, faith, personal reinvention, and hard-earned wisdom, this memoir is more than one man’s life story. It is a reminder that even ordinary people can live extraordinary lives when they refuse to give up.Perfect for readers who enjoy inspirational memoirs, true-life stories, business life lessons, personal transformation, British autobiography, and stories of overcoming adversity.

It is especially valuable for Sikhs and anyone interested in learning about the global national movements.

  When I wrote this story, I never imagined that my lifelong fishing partner and I would find ourselves in the Caribbean. I also never thought I would have false teeth, but here we are. Even more surprising, I never thought any of our crew, my partner, or I would be holding automatic rifles. But there we were, facing thieves who had forty or more of our lobster traps stacked on their deck.
  Their boat looked like a refuge from the storm, but when I saw a barrel emerge from a broken window, I knew it was time to pull the trigger. Three men crawled up onto the boat's roof, rifles in hand. I opened fire with my AR-15. The first guy dropped his rifle, and it clattered to the deck.
  I fired a burst straight up and shouted, "Start the engine and throw our traps over the side, and maybe this boat will get you home!"

  You have two extremely active individuals, mid-60s, looking to many more years of future travel, boating, loyal companionship and retirement. How things can change! Not feeling well in one instance, forgetting what one did with the car keys in the other.
   
  A routine unconcerned visit to the GP, subsequent referral to a specialist and in 48 hours your life is in turmoil.
   
  “You have dementia Mrs Mclean, it’s in the early stages and in your case the CT scans have identified Alzheimer’s. No, there is presently no cure.”
   
  We then roll the dice once more. “You have a carcinoid tumour Mr Mclean. Its metastatic and barely noticeable. However, we have made an appointment for you to see a leading professor of oncology who may put you on trial for a new form of tumour suppressant.”
   
  It’s the two words that everyone fears dementia and cancer.
   
  This, therefore, is a deadly personal journey dealing with the many and varied implications of dementia. In this instance it meant caring for my best friend, confidant, advisor, lover and wife of 50 years, whilst fighting my own diagnosis.Misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, misunderstood and often denied, this killer with no conscience, now mainstream, leaves but an empty shell as a memory.
   
  If you know anyone with dementia, have been diagnosed in the early stages of dementia or if you are caring for a person with dementia, then you should definitely read this story of love, loyalty, passion and patience. A tale of never-ending belief in the future.

  Crowned with Glory - How...

  Jasmine L. Holmes

  America was founded on the concept of the innate and inalienable rights of humankind. Many Christians see an echo of the imago Dei—that every human being carries the image of God—within those ideals. Yet these rights were systemically withheld from the Black and enslaved residents of this country for centuries. Through it all, Black people have proclaimed the truth of their dignity and personhood in powerful and profound ways. 
   
   
   
  Crowned with Glory collects many of the writings of these men and women, both familiar and lesser-known, to shine a light on what has always been there: an enormous movement of Black Americans demanding the liberty they were promised and deserved. With moving and insightful reflections on these oft-forgotten or suppressed voices, author Jasmine L. Holmes offers a hopeful and encouraging testament to the power of unrelenting cries for justice that will strike a chord with anyone looking for a robust Christian history of resistance.
