I am attempting to share with the world the most important existence in our lives, in my opinion—making our moments blend together as family, friends, love, prayers, and faith—creating an unbreakable bond. Weep with tears of joy, hope, and faith. Live today for the hope of an awesome tomorrow.
Hope is like a light shining in the distance where once laid darkness. In faith, though doubting and crying out to a God of love, hope springs up and grows increasingly with trust until the light bursts through the small opening in the trees. Now when you see clearly, life takes on new meaning. In Railroad Crossings to Restoration: Looking Back and Pressing Forward, Larene speaks from the heart in truth and love, remembering the journey she had traveled in the darkest moments of her life. This journey would not be like the last. It was not one where she knew the landmarks and where God would show her the paths to take to get there, filling in the blank spaces between. No. This journey was different. With no landmarks on the map and no knowledge of where she was going, she would need to trust God as He took her uncertain hand and made this new journey a mystery, an adventure, a venture into a newfound land of faith.
Johnny is a mischievous little fella. His intentions are good, but are often taken the wrong way. His way of doing things are sure to catch the eye of those around. It has always been said that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. His mother, bless her heart, has her hands full. Unknowing to her, she is a story all of her own. Together they are like two peas in a pod. Amherst County will never be the same.
Kojo Baffoe embodies what it is to be a contemporary African man. Of Ghanaian and German heritage, he was raised in Lesotho and moved to South Africa at the age of 27. Forever curious, Kojo has the enviable ability to simultaneously experience moments intimately and engage people (and their views) sincerely, while remaining detached enough to think through his experiences critically. He has earned a reputation as a thinker, someone who lives outside the box and free of the labels that society seeks to place on us. Listen to Your Footsteps is an honest and, at times, raw collection of essays from a son, a father, a husband, a brother and a man deeply committed to doing the internal work. Kojo reflects on losing his mother as a toddler, being raised by his father, forming an identity, living as an immigrant, his tussles with substance abuse, as well as his experiences of fatherhood, marriage and making a career in a fickle industry. He gives an extended glimpse into the experiences that make boys become men, and the battles that make men discover what they are made of, all the while questioning what it means to be ‘a man’.
In the summer of 2006, Christina Nordstrom met Bob Wright, known as Homeless Bob, Homeless by Fire, who sat on a milk crate on the sidewalk outside Park Street Church in Boston. Walking to work one morning, rather than avoiding eye contact, she overcame her fear, crossed the street, and greeted him. She learned how to constructively help him and, with friends Sue Straley and Jonathan Margolis, helped facilitate his progress from Park Street to a permanent home. The story charts their evolving friendship as formerly Homeless Bob adjusted to his new home, and about his death and how he is remembered.
A humorous short story collection about the lives of people living across Southern Alberta. Our hopes, our dreams, our failures. From a young mans dream to one day compete in a Mr. Fitness pageant to a father who uses Tiger to teach his daughter how to be a winner on the golf course. From a trip to the supermarket treated as though it is a big game hunt in Africa to a short passionate romance in Cancun Mexico on Spring break. With a tone inspired by Stephen Leacocks Sunshine Sketches of a Small Town and a style inspired by Hemingway, these stories show the lives of small town people with dreams and feelings as big as in any major city in the world.
