Download or read book Our Amazing Journey written by Gary Lee Van and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Amazing Journey is an unforgettable true story filled with life's unexpected twists and turns. You will discover how the love between Kathy and Gary was bonded by God's hand from the beginning and designed to withstand any storm or obstacle life could present. Inseparable from toddlers to teens, these two best friends had an unusual connection, realizing there was something special holding them together, although not actually knowing what it was until later in life. It all began with two nineteen-year-old girls becoming best friends from the first moment they met. These special ladies went on to start families of their own, and not only were the BFFS touched by instant love for each other, the gift was passed on. You will be totally drawn in, as if you are a part of this epic chronicle discovering that a number of so called coincidences are unmistakably divine intervention. Some might say that this story sounds like a magical fairy tale being made into a Hallmark movie, but that's not the intention of sharing it, you be the judge. Once separated as teens, Gary and Kathy didn't have any contact for forty-two years, not knowing what the other was doing. You will experience an array of emotions as they go from elation to deflation, mountain tops of joy to valleys of disappointment. Be prepared to laugh out loud and privately shed a tear as you experience their love and broken hearts. "I invite you now to relax, get comfortable, and prepared to be totally immersed in an unforgettable story of true and inextinguishable love between two souls. I must warn you that once you join us, you will not abandon this journey until you reach the conclusion. Your soul will be stirred, your heart touched, and your outlook on life and love may be forever transformed."

Book excerpt: John McLaren has dedicated his life to rescuing mistreated donkeys. When he finds Pollyanne at a livestock auction - unloved and horribly frail - he knows immediately that if he doesn't take her home to the sanctuary he has made his life's work, she stands little chance of surviving. John soon discovers that despite her terrible start in life, Pollyanne has the X factor: she is destined for more than the local nativity play. The bright lights of the West End beckon and before long, Pollyanne is appearing onstage with opera's biggest stars. She may have hit the animal A-list, but Pollyanne's no diva. When the curtain comes down, there's nowhere she'd rather be than at home with John and her four-legged friends. Sarah Oliver's Pollyanne is a heart-warming true story of unconditional love - and a Little Donkey with star quality.

Book excerpt: With the rise of teacher stressors, new and changing state standards, and high-stakes testing, it is more important than ever to remind literacy teachers and teacher-librarians about the reason that brought them to this profession: the love of story. The Gift of Story: Exploring the Affective Side of the Reading Life, by John Schu (affectionately known as Mr. Schu all over reading communities), invites readers to consider literacy beyond its academic benefits and explore how universal truths found in stories can change us, inspire us, connect us to others, answer our deepest questions, and even help us heal along the way. Using his experience as a teacher, librarian, book lover, and story ambassador, Mr. Schu asks readers to reflect on what it means to share their hearts through stories and how it can connect us to individuals and learning communities. The Gift of Story is presented through a study of five affective elements: Healer, Inspiration, Clarifier, Compassion, and Connector. Along the way, readers will encounter insightful contributions from educators, children's writers, and illustrators, as well as recommendations for sharing the gift of story with learning communities including: treasured book suggestions that stir reflection, engaging tips for celebrating literacy, and heart-growing applications to lift classroom and library practices. Celebrate the way we define and imagine ourselves through literacy by using stories to connect to others, build and strengthen community, and honor the children we were called to teach.
