  In the years after the Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland, a new independence movement had emerged, and in 1918-19 the political party Sinn Féin and its paramilitary partner, the Irish Republican Army, began a political struggle and an armed uprising against British rule. By 1922 the United Kingdom had lost a very substantial portion of its territory, as the Irish Free State came into being amid a brutal civil war. At the same time Ireland was partitioned and a new, unionist government was established in what was now Northern Ireland.

  A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man is the story of a man who rose above all odds stacked against him. The Great Depression, divorced parents, living in poverty, World War II, the death of a child, divorce, etc.—commonly known occurrences many individuals in American history have faced. Many people would have been bitter having lived through such tragedies. But not Duard Vinson Gillum! He not only survived but he thrived through his faith in God to become a wonderful family man with a successful career in the aeronautics industry, even working on the Apollo moon landing project and the space shuttle project. 
   
  This biography follows Tiny’s autobiography, Recollections of a Common Man (Xlibris, 2011), self-published before his death with a final chapter and additional photos documenting Mr. Gillum’s life. 
   
  Reared in Ashland, KY, during the Great Depression, Mr. Gillum's extended family of 11 occupied a three-room shack located next to the city dump. After the Depression, his family experienced the Great Flood of 1937, where many locales along the Ohio River, including Ashland, faced much devastation. When WWII started he had only completed a ninth-grade education before joining the navy, lying about his age. 
   
  Following his honorable discharge from the navy after WWII ended, with only his ninth-grade education, Mr. Gillum became a well-accomplished career man in the aeronautics field while also volunteering in his community as a baseball coach for 18 years; that also included coaching his son. 
   
  Referring to Mr. Gillum as a mere survivor is an understatement, to say the least. He thrived in the midst of adversity to overcome much tragedy while maintaining an optimistic attitude that reflected to others around him. No doubt Mr. Gillum touched a lot of lives. He also left a lot of life lessons that many individuals in today's society will glean from listening to A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man.

  'Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.'
  
  A collection of profound meditations on morality, life and death, from one of the primary proponents of ancient Stoic philosophy: Seneca.
  
  Despite having been written at the turn of the earliest millennium, Seneca's 'On' essays remain extraordinary in their offer of insightful wisdom and practical advice on how to live a life worth living. Including writings on anger, providence, peace of mind, the shortness of life, grief and more, Seneca's words are unparalleled in their perceptiveness – so much so that they remain relevant even today. This audiobook edition is beautifully narrated by Malk Williams.
  Seneca (4 – 65 AD) was a Stoic philosopher, dramatist and statesman. Trained in rhetoric and philosophy, he became advisor to Roman emperor, Nero, until he was accused of plotting to assassinate him. He was executed via forced suicide, but his literary works – largely considered staple texts for ancient Stoicism – still live on today.

  A New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller!
  What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?
  In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.
  Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.
  The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:
  
  - learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
  - heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
  - overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
  - conquer limiting or negative thinking
  - break old habits and create new ones
  - build resilience and wellbeing
  - become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing
  With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.
