Bobs loyalty to the Troops was at the highest level. He went where the Troops were and if there was a war going on, Bob became more determined to see us. Bob was like one of us. He was breathing the same air that we were breathing and that mattered. Bob made the Troops the stars, the audience was the Show. Bobs U.S.O. Christmas Shows with the Troops had meaning and is now History. The spirit and the memories of it all should live forever!I wrote about my particular set of circumstances: leading up to the Show, at the Show and then after the Show. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE TROOPS! PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. I have been watching The Bob Hope United Service Organizations (U.S.O.) Christmas Shows with the Troops with my family, since I was about 4 years old. I enjoyed watching the Troops in the audience laughing, having a good time, getting together. The Troops were my Heroes, my Stars. I thought that maybe when I grew up; that one day, I would be in the audience of one of Bobs Christmas Shows. It was inspirational for me to see and hear the people singing Silent Night together at the end of the Show. The Memories Are Priceless!Like we still talk about Remember The Alamo, I think we should say,Remember The Bob Hope Christmas Show, because it was important. It brought us together!I thank my Lord, Jesus Christ, for helping me get to The Bob Hope Christmas Show and in writing this book. At The Bob Hope Christmas Show: the sights, the sounds, living through the moment of it all was the best. Bob, Thanks For The Memories!
Mr. Hatfield with all of his years of experience in marriage, parenting, family, missions and in the Church pulls no punches in calling Christ's Bride to return to His Truth (God's revealed Law-Word) regarding discipleship (men and women of faith and grace) in Manhood and Womanhood, outrageously successful spousal relations, parenting with training in romance, sexual satisfaction, love and marriage! He is calling all believers, especially men, to confession and repentance and to receive, understand and apply these Truths in the Power of the Holy Spirit as the only acceptable response in which God will revive and reform the Family and the Church in the 21st Century! Not for the weak-kneed, weak-minded or humanistically influenced, this is for Christ's Bride as we prepare for and anticipate His return! These applications of God's revealed Law-Word and His uncommon common sense in the lives of America's postmodern Christian culture and especially the promise of duplicating of these successes for love and marriage in our children, is exciting and challenging to the point of precedent setting magnitudes. The reader will experience riveting and exciting challenges to the status quo of our present day Christian culture. "e;Based on interviews with more than 1000 adults nationwide, the survey discovered that less than one out of every five adults believes that children under the age of 13 are being "e;superbly"e; or "e;pretty well"e; prepared for life emotionally, physically, spiritually, intellectually or physically. Fewer than one out of every twenty adults believes that America's youngsters are receiving above average preparation in all five of those areas of life."e; Americans Agree: "e;Kids Are Not Being Prepared for Life,"e; The Barna Group-October 26, 2004 The couples, who discover the answers to the moral morass of our postmodern Christian culture, are those who know that the future of their children is in jeopardy and that we are in a war for the control of that future! Sadly, the statistics of broken homes, divorces, adultery, domestic violence, drugs and promiscuity - to mention only some of the ills of our culture - are almost equally divided between "e;Christian"e; families and non-Christian families. This is unacceptable as a comparison and must change. Consequently, fathers and mothers of faith and grace are those - who are and or who will experience - God's promise of victory over these fruits of our fallen nature and live a marriage experience that captures the best of God's gifts of love, sex and romance in marriage. Daddy's Little Girl and Mommy's Little Boy brings us clear evidence of just how America's Christian couples can have this victory in their marriage and how to duplicate this success in their sons and daughters.

Isaiah's day off school promises nice weather, so he chooses to gofishing and ends up on an incredible adventure with a very happy ending. It was a day off from school. A day where anything could happen. Isaiah sat on the side of his bed wondering how it might turn out,realizing that it would all depend on the weather. Best to go check. The skies looked bright and clear, which made him think that instead of a lazy day watching videos or playing some old video game he'd alreadybeaten a bunch of times, he might get to do something he enjoyed morethan anything else. He hopped off his bed and went to his closet. Opening it up he grabbed the main thing hed need to have a great day. His fishing pole!Now, happy he'd decided how he was going to spend his day, it wastime to go grab some breakfast . Gotta fill up and make sure I have themost time for fishing, he thought. In the kitchen he saw his littlesister, Jaelyn, just staring at her cereal. She was normally singingthe latest commercial jingle from the TV or chattering merrily aboutanything and everything. This morning she was very quiet. Isaiahgrabbed a bowl from the cupboard, threw in some cereal, and splashed insome milk. In between mouthfuls he asked his sister what was up. Shetook so long to answer he knew it must be very serious. She told him,sniffling sadly, that she'd lost her three-wheeler. Wow, he thought,she loves that thing! Not wanting to hold up his trip too much, hepromised to help look for it later that day and raced out into themorning. "e;You be careful, take something to eat, and take a jacket justin case!"e; hollered his Mom as he grabbed his bike. "e;I will Mom"e;, hehollered back as he adjusted his backpack, balanced his fishing pole inone hand, and climbed aboard his bike. The day becomes exceptional when Isaiah discoverers a hidden flyingcraft and has a fantastic adventure with its owners.
"e;Michael's stories have the same combination of clarity and intuitive richness as his music. A fine,contemplative guide to the artist's dedicated life."e;David Whyte poet,lecturerauthor of The Heart Aroused and Crossing the Unknown SeaMichael Jones' inspiring and award winning book about his life at the piano offers many rich insights to help the reader find this story for themselves. "e;Who will play your music if you don't?"e; He asks. "e;What is emerging at the periphery of your awareness now? When do you feel that you are fully living your own 'signature in creation' - a place to which you often long to return?"e;Too often we focus on building our careers, based upon an identity crafted from our trained skills and abilities - an identity that does not accurately reflect our primary strengths, wants or needs. Michael suggests an alternative - through personal narratives that burst with wonder and magic - he offers vivid portrayals of how, through seemingly ordinary people and events, we can discover clues for living a fulfilling and imaginative life. Each story builds upon another as Michael reveals his journey toward creating a life that feels whole and complete. Throughout he offers others an invitation to reconnect with the essence of who they truly are. To begin he suggests that we learn to trust that there is a dimension of life behind life, one that lives through us and brings with it a renewed sense of dignity and grace each time we do what we love, feel what we feel and simply be ourselves. Virtually every page of this truly beautiful book provides wise and wonderful clues for allowing the creative impulse within us to emerge. Throw out your books of creativity exercises and read this book instead!
Bryan Webster started out his 10,000+ hour flying career by taking a ride in a two-seat single engine Cessna 150 and ending up inverted in the silty Fraser River beneath a large unmarked power line span east of Vancouver, BC, Canada. This experience left a lasting impression which 25 years later was the foundation for a new training concept for pilots of light aircraft, Aviation Egress Systems. (More at www.dunkyou.com). During Bryan's many years as a pilot he witnessed other aviators in the industry and recreational flyers with no predetermined escape strategy succumb needlessly to drowning while unable to egress from an inverted aircraft forced to ditch in water. Understanding personally the perils of egressing from a ditched aircraft he designed and built equipment to be used in aquatic centers simulating the challenges of disorientation and panic. After witnessing thousands of students in a controlled situation, many of which who had great difficulty coping with the inverted underwater experience he felt compelled to document behavioural strategies in a book form to reach the flying public and educate them on the importance of this not well documented subject. This books content teaches pilots and passengers what to think about and how to react to successfully escape from a downed aircraft and then survive the after effects regarding life vests, life rafts and hypothermia. Designed to be educational on the technical aspects of ditching an aircraft mixed with real life experience and a bit of humour for an informative, useful guide to help pilots and passengers understand and respect the hazards of light aircraft ditchings world wide.
