Download PDF Blinded By Good Intentions eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. What are the keys to success in life? Simply trying hard and having great goals are not enough, says veteran corporate trainer Steve White. "Our best intentions can become our worst enemy when we are blind to why they are not working." White learned this the hard way. As a teen he vowed he'd avoid his parents' mistakes and become the best husband and father. But he failed to see that his efforts to control people and circumstances only condemned him to cycles of anger, misunderstandings, judgment and life failure. Surrounded by the pieces of his broken dreams, he opened himself to learn how God wanted to work through even these things for good. In this collection of personal stories and reflections, White shows how--if we believe and remember how deeply we are loved by God and what He wants for our lives--deep personal change to the good is truly experienced. Our new life in Him can then touch the people around us.

Download PDF Beyond Good Intentions eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Beyond Good Intentions is a book of essays about the joys and risks of raising children adopted internationally. Cheri Register examines ten pitfalls that well-meaning parents like herself can easily slip into: -- Wiping Away Our Children's Past -- Hovering Over Our Troubled Children -- Holding the Lid on Sorrow and Anger -- Parenting on the Defensive -- Believing Race Doesn't Matter -- Keeping Our Children Exotic -- Raising Our Children in Isolation -- Judging Our Country Superior -- Believing Adoption Saves Souls -- Appropriating Our Children's Heritage Each essay opens with an exaggerated version of something an adoptive parent might say, to prompt a fresh, intense look at practices so familiar they are seldom questioned, even though they may not serve the children's and the family's best interests. Register urges readers to bring their own experiences to bear in a candid conversation about internationally adoptive family life.

Book Description
Download PDF Blinded By Humanity eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. How to respond effectively to humanitarian crises is one of the most pressing and seemingly intractable problems facing the United Nations. Martin Barber, for many years a senior UN official and with decades of humanitarian experience, here argues that the explanation for UN 'failures' or only partial successes lies not with any lack of idealism or good intentions but with the constraints placed on aid workers by ill-considered policies and poor practical application - officials are 'blinded by humanity'. Barber presents an inside story based on personal/hands-on/practical experience in Laos, Thailand, Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina and, finally, in Abu Dhabi where he advised the UAE government on its aid programme. He tells of internal struggles at head office and the challenges of working in the field. All the major UN activities - and headaches - are here, including refugee work, coordinating humanitarian aid, peacekeeping, the huge problem of 'de-mining', and the complex internal workings of the UN Secretariat. A personal narrative and lessons drawn from direct experience provide the frame for an examination of major questions concerning the future of humanitarian response - how effectively have international institutions discharged their responsibilities towards people affected by conflict? Specifically, how did the UN perform? And how might the UN better help such people in the 21st century? Barber analyses recent policy developments intended to improve the quality and effectiveness of the UN's work in humanitarian fields, and assesses the extent to which recent reforms are likely to make the UN a more effective partner for countries emerging from conflict. In the final chapter he highlights seven 'blind spots' whose significance has been consistently ignored or overlooked, and in each case suggests a radical new approach. Based on decades of personal experience and 'insider access', this will be essential reading for students of international relations and politics as well as for all those directly or indirectly involved with humanitarian issues.

Download PDF A Blind Corner eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. From the award-winning author of Mrs. and The Fundamentals of Play comes a brilliant and biting short story collection about pride, privilege, and our nagging need to belong. In an era of “hot takes” and easy generalizations, this collection reclaims the absurdities and paradoxes of life as it is actually lived from the American fantasy of “niceness”. In Macy’s world, human desires and fatal blind spots slam headlong into convenient, social-media-driven narratives that would sort us into neat boxes of insider or outsider; good or bad; with us or against us. Time and again, whether at home or in the age-old role of Americans abroad, Macy’s women see their good intentions turn awry. A woman who tries to do a good deed for an underprivileged child sees it go horribly wrong. A wife, attempting to be a good host to a friend’s strange ex-boyfriend, finds herself in a compromised situation. And, in the title story, a newlywed fancies herself a Euro-sophisticate until an accident reminds her just how truly foreign she really is. In tales where shocking and sometimes brutal events disabuse characters of their most cherished beliefs, Macy forgoes easy moralization in favor of uncomfortable truths that reveal the complexity of what it means to be human.

Download PDF Hello Darkness eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Hello Darkness is the true story of a young man who at the peak of his college career loses his eyesight and is plunged into total darkness. Once, Sandy Greenberg had dreamed of being a lawyer, maybe even president. Now, he’s told he must walk cautiously through life. But that’s not how this story unfolds. Love, friendship, and his own iron determination write an entirely different end to this exceptionally inspiring story. Imagine you are back home from college. It’s a beautiful summer evening, and you’re pitching in a baseball game when suddenly you can’t see the batter, your catcher, the mound beneath your feet. Sandy Greenberg recovered from that moment, but six months later, in the middle of a final exam, he went blind for good, and forevermore. A junior at Columbia University on a full scholarship, Sandy had just started to see the world open up to him. But instead of his plans for a bright future, he now faces a new reality, one defined by a cane, a companion dog, jobs limited to his blindness. In the depth of his new darkness, Sandy faces a choice—to play it “safe” or return to Columbia to pursue his dreams. With the loving devotion of his girlfriend (and now wife) Sue and the selflessness of his best friend, Art Garfunkel, and through his own unyielding determination, Sandy breaks the chains of blindness, graduates as president of his class, and forges a life of exceptional achievement. The message of this book is simple: Sandy did it, and you can, too. Or put even more directly: Never give up.

In the not-too-distant future, the globalized world, which has become increasingly complex, frightening and confusing for many, is transformed into a simpler, clearly arranged place in which small city-states emerge, each of them home to not more than a few million people. Societies remake themselves, containing their people, knowledge and technology within well-guarded borders. One of these places is a domain.state in the south of what was once the United States of America. Life is great there, the weather's fine, everyone has the latest technology and everything runs in accordance with rules and laws based on values reflecting the spirit of the Almighty. But, even when things appear to become simpler at first glance, they in fact become more complicated - and if more and more characters and their stories intersect in various places and times, it's possible that a higher authority may become necessary to close the circle in the end...

But when she gets a frantic call from an old friend, she embarks on an investigation that will put her to a test she's never faced before: survival. Jonathan Bowman, a loving husband and father, has disappeared, and his wife fears the worst. Was the high-ranking casino employee an innocent victim? Or had he been involved in something illegal—and murdered for it? When a charred body is discovered halfway across the country and identified as the missing man, Kelly suspects it's a setup. But the question is why? Philadelphia cop Nick McBride suspects the same thing, and believes there's a connection between the death of his own father—also a former employee of the casino—and Jonathan's disappearance. Reluctantly Kelly and Nick start to work together. But their suspicions are about to lure them into a desperate, dangerous game where blind faith leads straight into terror…and into the trap of a waiting killer.

Download PDF Color Me Blind eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Color Me Blind is a quote coloring book focusing on anti-racism. The many different quotes about diversity, equality, and peace are outlined by different designs. Each picture is duplicated so that all family members (kids of all ages) are able to enjoy coloring together. LaLa Roo is a grandma and grandson team who are deeply saddened by the racial divide in our country and want to do something (anything) no matter how small to try and help. Although the book itself is simple the issues surrounding race are not - and we in no way want to mitigate the importance of finding a solution to reunite our country. Obviously, coloring a picture and discussing a quote isn't going to solve our problems but we need to start somewhere and it seems sensible that beginning at home is a good place to start. Let's face it, talking about race can be uncomfortable. It is a sensitive topic and it can be difficult for some people to discuss. Often times we just don't know how to bring up the topic of race to our kids and grandkids. Many of us might even struggle having the conversation with ourselves. Nobody likes to be uncomfortable - but it's necessary we start talking and listening more than ever before. Who knows, maybe something as simple as a quote will open up an important dialogue that will benefit your family greatly. It starts with you - then your family and then your community. It is never too late and we can all do better. We all deserve the best of our country has to offer and that can't possibly happen until there is true liberty and justice for all! Each coloring page is duplicated so that "the 'grown-ups' can color their own pictures". This book was made with love and good intentions

In a drowned city on the edge of the sea lives a girl in a tower. Cole is nobody. One more haunted drone among the grey, spiritless masses. She knows better than to dream of a better life. But death doesn't care about good intentions. "It was the dead man's expression that drew me . . ." First, there's the rebellious ghost who won't stop pestering her. Then, a mesmerizing, golden-eyed stranger with a dangerously tempting proposition. And to cap it all off, a shattered corpse that sends her spiralling into the middle of a deadly conspiracy.
