I grew up on the south side of Chicago in an area known as Morgan Park. MP is a real community that flourishes because of the closeness that you can easily describe as family. Morgan Park is where a married couple from the south would begin an upbringing of a household that was like no other. I have encountered many people and have heard many stories, and yet my life remains unique. This book is my story, along with memoirs of others that have experienced growth from the same lenses as myself. Every day a child is taken from their birth parents and put into a hideous system that is best known as the Department of Children and Family Services. For the most part, a good majority of these children will lose complete contact with their biological families. These children will eventually become foster children before being adopted, or they will just remain in long-term foster care. Nonetheless, these children will face many obstacles and challenges, mostly mental. This book is where I begin my quest in trying to not only shed light on a problem that has affected many families but an issue that continues to impact many individuals. Hopefully, this book will help. You are not alone, but you only have one option, and that is to make it!

What's a family to do when parents get in trouble and run away from home? That's the problem the Kramars faced. The whole family had decided to follow the way of the Spirit Flyers. But Mom and Dad turned against them and joined the powerful and sinister Goliath Industries- who were taking over not only Centerville, but the country and the world as well.Would they come back? Would the children be able to forgive them? Would Grandfather Kramar? Would the runaway parents be able to forgive themselves? Here's a fast-paced adventure with an enduring message.

When Grandfather Kramar was a boy, he couldn't stand his cousins. They teased him and called him names. But with his mom and dad both overseas because of World War II, John Adam was sent to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins on a farm near Centerville. He hated his life there. He wished his parents would come back. He wished he were home again- or anyplace else. Then John Adam got his wish. He went on a journey like none other he had ever had in his entire life. Here is the amazing story of the first encounters between Spirit Flyers and the dark powers of the Deeper World, years before Goliath Industries ever arrived in Centerville.

What would happen if someone decided to trick a whole town -- by giving them toys? But not just any toys, you understand. Toys that had a powerful and sinister effect on their owners. And what if only two children knew the evil plot was in the works? The magic continues as John and Susan Kramar speed through this book of mystery and adventure. As July the Fourth approaches, they know some scheme is brewing. Armed only with bicycles that possess wonderful powers, their job is to find how what the plan is and to stop it.

Everyone wants to be Number One- the fastest, the smartest, the best looking. That's the way it was in Centerville. And the local toy store, run by Mrs. Happy, was all too willing to help by keeping track of all your points so everyone would know who was really on top. It was, after all, the only game in town. But Daniel found himself at the bottom of this game. He was new in town and he had a limp. With two strikes like that against him, there was no way he could win. No way, that is, until Mrs. Happy offered to make him the envy of every kid in town. Would he accept, or would he follow the Spirit Flyer bicycles of John and Susan Kramar? Would he win the game and lose the biggest prize of all?

Writing about the Christian life, the Apostle Paul uses the metaphor of running in a race. Athletes all around the world appreciate the value of personal coaching. The same applies to each of us in the game of life with its challenges and uncompromising demands. As Christians our life is centered by our relationship with Jesus Christ and His Spirit within us. God the Father has given each of us strengths to equip us to fulfill our life purpose and callings. If we are to excel and be the best we can be, we cannot escape the need for the training and coaching in the critical aspects of our life. We are most grateful for the many people who invested in coaching us through challenges and various stages of life. Without their investment we could not have played our coaching roles or provided the thoughts in this booklet. We have written these pages through our own experience and the experience of clients we have served over the past many years. This booklet is written to encourage and foster coaching relationships in the church and community. Dr. Albert Winseman, pastor, author and Senior Executive says, "Everyone needs a coach and every one can coach." The Bible tells us that "as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17. Christ Centered Coaching is at the heart of making disciples of Jesus Christ. He has set the model for us. We have just provided some simple tools.

For the majority of the past twenty-seven years, Johnny Miles has lived in a one-person cell on San Quentin's death row, among hundreds of others convicted of first-degree murder. Johnny Miles has had to find a measure of acceptance to continue living on death row. He has not chosen suicide or to use hard drugs. Neither has he been a victim of a fatal attack by other inmates. Johnny Miles has chosen to live while under the sentence of death. Johnny Miles is the primary author of the book: THE JOHNNY D. MILES LEARNING CURVE: An Introduction to (Death Row Inmate) Johnny D. Miles' Collage Art, Poetry & Mind.The Learning Curve is fine art in that patient informed perception is required for a fuller imbuing of Johnny Mile's artistic intent and subterranean self-expression. The Learning Curve is meant for the learned: a person that can separate flair from meaning; a person able to perceive thematic repetition and aberration; more or less an investigative and curious art enthusiast and/or enjoyer of abstract poetry.Johnny Mile's collaging and poetry exist within the solitary confinement of his own sense of rhyme and rhythm, concept, tone, and intrigue. His work is a soliloquy in the effort to find meaning and transmit meaning. All reading of his work should occur with the background knowledge of his minimal formal education for Johnny dropped out of school in the 10th grade.The word psychopath denoted is clinical while in general parlance communicates pure evil. The word "psychopathy" connotes less negativity to the labeled while still bordering on insult. Basketball great Michael Jordan has been called psychopathic as has the sitting American President, Donald Trump. British psychologist Kevin Dutton in his so-called, "Great British Psychopath Survey" found many eminently valued professions, such as clergy, filled in great proportions by psychopaths. Due to my own lack of credentials and my genuine relationship with Johnny Miles I cannot label him. However, Johnny Mile's art and poetic expressions are a step toward Johnny Miles exposing himself to the world as he is.Johnny Mile's collage art is the diamond produced through nearly twenty-seven years of impaction by a solitary cell on death row, his own thoughts, and perceptions of self, and his character and propensities. Death row shaped Johnny Miles into a collage artist. Inspiration struck his person in the form of an adolescent's after-school letter to a death row inmate; he tried collaging and it worked for him. Since that day in 2003, Johnny Miles has been dedicated to the art form. Search for the My Crime Series on Amazon and Audible, biographies written by inmates on inmates. The My Crime series "candidly communicates the upbringing, life experience, character, and motivations of the incarcerated." Such communication is to grant the broader public an understanding of the men and women in California prisons (www.crimebios.com)
