This book tells the hundred-year history of Three Rivers, California, from the 1850s to the 1950s. Three Rivers has always been a special place, one of rolling wooded hills, nestled close to the High Sierra mountains. Those mountains feed the rivers that give the place its name. It was an ideal place for the pioneers of this story to settle.The book is divided into two basic parts. The first tells the story of events and places, what life was like for those hardy souls who homesteaded in these hills. The second part relates stories and histories about individual people and their families: when they came to Three Rivers, when they arrived, and how their lives and the lives of their families were impacted by living here. Did they thrive? Did they go elsewhere to search for their dream? The author has endeavored to answer these questions.

I have witnessed the slow crawl of history, from the joy of one decade to the agony of the next, from the fear of one decade to the fantasy of the next; I have seen the ashes of what once mattered and shared the dream of what might be.This book is based on my experience of the past 80 years, from just before WWII to the present. As an advocate for conscious aging and a creative writer, I am fascinated with how we remember and story our lives, often to our own disadvantage. Now, in these later years, I've set about the transformative task of unraveling my own fragmented journey - a constant struggle for survival, through the re-invention of one self after another. This is how I faced the painful truth that if I could not own all my experiences, especially those in my shadow, I could not begin to forgive or love myself enough to even dream of becoming a whole person.The 71 stand alone (yet integrated) short stories in this book are drawn from more than 20 years writing, from meaning-making autobiography to revelations of conscious aging; from embracing the wisdom of vulnerability to learning to think with both the head and the heart.
A young, Black girl looks into a mirror and imagines what it would take to create the perfect version of herself. Will her physical changes lead to the perfection she seeks, or will perfection find her in a more remarkable way?
Este libro analiza las varias corrientes filosóficas, ambas políticas y religiosas, examina los hechos y datos lógicamente y resuelve las siguientes interrogantes: ¿Cuál es el sistema político más benéfico para la mayoría de la gente? ¿Qué sistema político ha fallado cada vez que se ha probado? ¿Por qué hay una separación de la iglesia del estado? ¿Es posible discutir sobre religión? ¿Cuáles son las escrituras religiosas que afirman ser de Dios? ¿Es posible discernir entre estas escrituras cuál es la verdadera? ¿Qué es la verdad? ¿Qué es lo que dice la verdadera Palabra de Dios? ¿Qué es lo que dice la Palabra de Dios acerca de nuestra historia y de nuestro futuro?Este libro presenta claramente los hechos sobre política y religión. Comienza presentado las escuelas de pensamientos filosóficos a través de nuestra historia, las que engendraron las diferentes doctrinas políticas y religiosas. La discusión luego se centra en las ideologías políticas de hoy, tales como comunismo, socialismo, liberalismo, libertarios, y libre mercado. Luego escoge algunos países como representantes de cada una de estas ideologías y las pasa por un simple análisis. El análisis consiste en comparar la riqueza, las libertades, y los deseos por parte de la población mundial de inmigrar a ese país. Los resultados de este análisis sorprenderán a muchos.La discusión luego se centra en el concepto de religión. A través de una progresión lógica, se concluye que cuando mencionamos religión, realmente queremos decir las escrituras sobre Dios. Pero entonces estaremos en una disyuntiva porque por lógica debe haber un sólo Dios, sin embargo, existen muchas escrituras sobre Dios. Entonces, lo que sigue es un análisis de todas las escrituras que alegan ser la Palabra de Dios. ¿Acaso tienen respuesta a cómo se creó todo? ¿De la razón por la que pecamos? Ya que el pecado nos separa de Dios, ¿acaso nos indican qué debemos de hacer para volver a la gracia de Dios? Para comprobar la Verdadera Palabra de Dios, debemos preguntarnos; ¿cuál es la más convincente? ¿Cuál es la más sensata? ¿En cuál de ellas depositaría mi fe?La siguiente pregunta que este libro trata de responder es esta: ¿acaso la política y Dios nunca convergen? Usa el argumento de "la separación de iglesia y estado" como una ilustración de cómo el cambio de valores con el tiempo termina afectando las libertades que algún día eran los bastiones venerados en el mundo entero.¿Qué hay de los que no creen en Dios? Bueno, el libro se ocupa de esto en una larga pero informativa discusión sobre los argumentos basados en la ciencia que apuntan a la creación como argumento factible. También presenta los argumentos desde el punto de vista Budista encontrando puntos débiles en su lógica.¿Como serán las cosas en el fin del mundo según la Palabra de Dios? La Palabra de Dios es muy conocida por sus profecías. Este libro toma claves predicciones del futuro de diferentes profetas para darnos una idea de lo que se viene. También traduce gran parte del libro del Apocalipsis y su simbología en términos simples. Se sorprenderán cuando se enteren de lo que dice.

When you visited Yellowstone National Park, did you think to yourself, this does not look like a Volcano? In this research, twenty-nine pieces of evidence suggest Yellowstone is not a volcano. There is an asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, correct? Do you believe the book of Genesis is history? Scientific and geological evidence come together to confirm what Genesis has said all along. Have you ever wondered what made it possible to rain on earth for forty days and forty nights as mentioned in Genesis 7:12? Biblical, scientific and geological evidence combined tells us how and when global flooding happened. Five catastrophic events occurred in the year 2,348 B.C.E.Have you ever wondered why there are so many underwater cities found all around the world? Are you aware that mass changes gravity? Biblical evidence, Genesis 19:23-25, states mass came onto earth out of a clear blue sky and buried the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Many unexplained mysteries are now explained. Things like: Why does the Coconino sandstone show evidence of vertical deposition? Where did the Coconino sandstone come from? Why is the Earth axis tilted to 23.5 degrees? Why are there no marine fossils above the KT boundary? How did the fountains of the great deep burst forth? Why are dinosaurs drowned and buried in clean mudstone on hill tops in Montana? Scientific evidence proves Genesis is a geological and historical account of our world's past. Scientific evidence supports that dinosaurs were wiped out less than 5,000 years ago.

Like theories outlined in such books as VanDonikin's 'Chariots of the Gods', Watts presents compelling arguments in support of an alternative view of several of nature's mysteries, including the creation of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. While raising as many questions as it endeavors to answer, The 'Watts Theory' is an intriguing and credible explanation of many natural anomalies that remain largely unanswered by pure academic science. I would recommend that anyone interested in geological history, read the 'Watts Theory', with an open mind. It is well researched, documented and thought provoking."PDX Author 5.0 out of 5 stars A Viable Alternative To An Old ParadigmReviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019 Verified Purchase"Years and years to a common set of beliefs related to landform evolution, and finally now, something different.
