Spanning nearly 50 years of family history, the book chronicles the remarkable lives of two creative talents, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a story of father and son set against the backdrop of Hollywood; this narrative is organized around their physical and spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago, Spain, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage path which traverses Galicia. It is the area from which Sheen's father emigrated to the U.S. and to which Estevez's own son has returned. Along the Waywill focus not just on the lives these men have chosen as artists, but also (and most importantly) on the one they have lived together. It is a story of family bonds and artistic advances and setbacks; of good choices and hard choices; of opportunities lost and opportunities found. Sheen and Estevez will share what they have experienced and learned from each other in their forty eight years as father and son, as fathers of sons, as actors and director, as spiritual seekers, and as concerned citizens of the world. Readers will meet them as real people rather than icons, as two men who have accumulated decades of wisdom and insight they are now ready to share.
There are three things we must do to prepare ourselves to be more Christlike: prepare our minds; prepare our hearts; and prepare our hands. Are you ready? Along the Way is the inspiring true story of Trudy Cathy White from her childhood to adulthood, her years in Brazil as a missionary, and the many lessons she’s learned “along the way.” Through a series of devotionals, Trudy invites the reader to grow in their own Christian faith and in their personal relationship with Jesus. Her sweet spirit shines through the pages of this heartwarming (and often funny) book. Ultimately, Trudy’s challenge to readers is to spend a few minutes each day preparing one’s mind, heart, and hands for what God has in store. He is with us in the journey, and longs to pour out untold blessings as we travel together … along the way.

A celebrated jazz writer offers fascinating portraits of friends he's known during a lifetime in jazz For more than half a century, jazz writer and lyricist Gene Lees has been the friend of many in the world of jazz music. In this delightful book he offers minibiographies of fifteen of these friends--some of them jazz greats, some lesser-known figures, and some up-and-comers. Combining conversations and memoirs with critical commentary, Lees's insightful and intimate profiles will captivate jazz fans, performers, and historians alike. The subjects of the book range from the versatile orchestrator and arranger Claus Ogerman to legendary jazz broadcaster Willis Conover, from the gifted young Chinese violinist Yue Deng to undersung pianist Junior Mance. Lees writes about these figures both as musicians and as human beings, and he writes out of a conviction that jazz as an art form represents the highest values of American culture. Inviting us into the lives of these unique individuals, Lees offers an affectionate view of the jazz community that only an insider could provide.
This book is a collection of poems to guide you along your journey with God. No matter where you are, this book has three parts. If you are at the beginning,I have compiled a set titled In the beginning where a worshiper has a new relationship with God and may be unsure and scared. I have a second set titled Along the way for worshipers who know God is there but needs encouragement as they are daily tested. Last but not least I have compiled worship poems titled Praise, which is acknowledging His highness and worshiping our king!
Along the Way speaks of the inner journey of each person reaching for the wisdom of the ages, through any path or teaching, within any culture. The words in this book, divided into bite size pieces, came as seeming responses to the authors questions, struggles, and discoveries and are shared in the hope they will be of some help to others in making their own individual connection with their own source of wisdom.
This is the story of my life's journey. It began with my growing up in a small town in eastern Massachusetts where a caring community surrounded you every day and everywhere. Then on to college and marriage where I began my career. Over the years, our family moved several times to new places in different states. At each stop, we met new people, formed new friendships, and lived through all of the experiences of life, individually and as a family. Everywhere we moved, we were blessed to receive the love and care of God's church through being embraced by and accepted into nurturing and loving faith communities. God's light and love held us together all along the way. We'll share with you some of our true-life accounts of faith, family, and relationships from each of those locations. You'll read about wins and losses, successes and setbacks, challenges and perseverance, and about love-family love shared in some amazing ways-and God's love shared with us every step of the way. Learn about my call from God and how I finally answered it in an amazing sequence of events that unfolded successfully with God's help. I hope you'll find some helpful thoughts from the accounts and reflections in this book that will help you in your journey through life. We live in a time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty. Some say our future is in doubt. I have five amazing grandchildren. Read this book and see if you agree with my assessment: "I'm confident about our future because I'm certain about our children and our grandchildren." I would offer this word to you today: Uplift your family in prayer as you uphold them in God's love. Be there for each other. All of our life's journeys continue. I'd love to hear how yours is going, who have you met, what have you learned, and what will you be sharing with your grandchildren. Contact Jeff at: [email protected]
The Bromley Court Housing Project is a prison without bars where the poor struggle for survival. It is 1967 and the City of Boston is beginning to come apart at the seams. Racial hostility and a preoccupation with the war in Vietnam have brought about the beginnings of dramatic change throughout America. Despite the adversity of the times and their surroundings, a friendship holds fast in Bromley Court. Christopher Conley and Michael McLean are project kids, each attempting to cope with life and its unfairness. Christopher is in his senior year of high school. While on his way to school he sees Lorna, a stunningly beautiful black girl, waiting for the train. After months of observing her from across the expanse of a Boston subway station he summons the courage to speak to her and finally arranges a rendezvous after she gets out of work. Christopher tells Michael of his plans to take Lorna out and to accompany her home. Michael's superior street sense and genuine concern for his best friend cause him to discourage Chris from attempting to take Lorna home, a home located in the heart of Boston's seething black neighborhood. Chris's desire for Lorna outweighs any concerns for personal safety. He is determined to overcome the racial hostility that surrounds them. He has fallen in love with her. Recognizing that Christopher is resolute, Michael insists that he at least take some protection on his venture into a part of the city enclosed by invisible walls of hate and fear. Michael supplies his unwilling friend with a .45 caliber pistol. That night, the lovers meet. A cobblestone street leads the way downward toward the dilapidated brownstone where Lorna lives. Suddenly, Lorna and Chris are attacked by three predators bent upon Christopher's murder and Lorna's rape. During the attack, Christopher retrieves the pistol from his school bag, lying near him in the gutter. With two blasts from the pistol he wounds one of the attackers, saving Lorna and dramatically altering the course of his life. After a tear-filled recitation of the circumstances of the shooting to his devastated mother, and a touching farewell with Michael, Christopher seeks a refuge with his movie actor brother, Jack Conley, amid "the experimental excesses of Hollywood, California." "Paths Along the Way" traces the lives of Christopher and Michael as they unfold against the backdrop of a turbulent yet captivating America. Christopher's path will lead him back to Boston, where he will grow and prosper and ultimately become a prominent trial lawyer, while Michael is bent upon a darker course. He will enlist in the 101st Airborne and become the bravest of the brave as an Army Ranger enduring the horror of the Vietnam War. When he returns home, he becomes a state police detective, wrestling with his demons. Demons that force him to the brink of taking his own life and that of Christopher. On the night of November 2nd, 1991 a Boston Police Detective is brutally murdered during a botched drug raid. A corrupt, Boston Police Detective thereafter orchestrates the elaborate framing of a young black male by the name of Booker Webb as the murderer. Booker is a despised drug addict and the nephew of Lorna, Christopher's long lost love. Lorna then reappears in Christopher's life and implores him to undertake the defense of her flesh and blood. Michael is enlisted as Christopher's investigator. His familiarity with the street leads him to believe in Booker's case. He realizes that Christopher's defense of Booker is his last chance to do something right. In a dramatic confrontation in an Irish neighborhood bar, he brings Christopher back from his wealth and privilege to the window of the hell that he and Booker have known. Christopher's love for Michael and for Lorna cause him to undertake the defense of Booker Webb, while risking all that he has built and hoped for. All the while his only reassurance is to never underestimate the power of the truth.
