In the Garden of Eden, as soon as God buried Vegetables in the ground, and put Fruits on trees and vines, the Fruits began to argue among themselves. "I am hardiest,” said Apple. "I am sweetest," said Grape. "Enough!" said God, sending two caretakers to the Garden. "Eat me!" the Fruits called to the caretakers. "Listen to the Fruits," the snake hissed. Wanting things to be easy was the first real problem in the Garden. It was much easier for the caretakers to pick the Fruits than to dig up the Vegetables, so the caretakers listened to the snake. One of the lessons of this story: Growing food begins with hard work.Mostra libro
For Griffin Furlong, the odds were against him. Death, homelessness, and fear of his future loomed early in his childhood. According to the National School Board Association, students experiencing homelessness are 87 percent more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers, and without a high school diploma, youth are 4.5 times more likely to experience homelessness later in life. But through the power of growing his perspective and mindset, Griffin transformed his perception of his situation and turned it into something worthwhile. In Boundless, he shares his astonishing childhood story and major themes he learned along the way to defy the odds set against him. His story is a testament that no matter the obstacles, no matter the difficulties that lie ahead, and no matter the lack of resources, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Griffin believes anyone can apply the principles in this book to create the future they dream of.Mostra libro

When chasing an animal for his dinner, he discovered a different world outside his territory- a small village with a mission church and orphanage.

A shot by a villager grazed Rovi's back. Rovi became very angry and decided to return the next evening to get revenge. The madder he got, the brighter his eyes shined until they became bright as coals of fire. On the path, his attention was drawn to a happy sound in the sky. Santa Claus was happy to see Rovi's eyes and asked him to guide him through the jungle. Anger left him and he was happy to run to the village. Santa introduced him to the villagers who welcomed him. His life changed when he became friends with Manbir, a young orphan boy, and they heard the story of the first Christmas from the missionary. As Rovi left the village, he roared and the villagers understood that he said, "Think Love!" In Rovi's next book, Rovi and Manbir have Christmas dinner with the village and share fun times.Mostra libro

Now, with his father away fighting in World War II and his mother about to have a new baby, Danny relies on Jack’s friendship and guidance more than ever. So when Jack goes missing without a trace from their small Appalachian town, Danny is determined to find him.
