Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mateo Delgado is a community writing teacher and published author in New Britain, Connecticut, founder of the Write to Rise workshop, an organizer with HAT Force, and a man who built a whole life out of a promise he made himself at seventeen. Ten years ago, he watched Jakub Nowak, the boy he loved, disappear from his life without warning. He has never quite stopped thinking about him. Then, on an ordinary Tuesday night, Jakub walks back through the door of the LEAD Community Center, older, quieter, carrying a decade he never meant to spend three states away. His father had called him home to Chicago to help run the family bakery; three months became a life he never chose. Now he's back, and neither man can pretend the last ten years erased anything. Book One: The First Draft follows Mateo and Jakub as they cautiously find their way back to each other, a library reading, a walk that turns into a confession, coffee that turns into forgiveness. As they reconnect, they also rebuild the writing partnership that first brought them together as teenagers: trading drafts, running workshops side by side, and relearning how to be honest on the page and off it. Book Two: Revisions deepens the relationship as old wounds resurface. Jakub reckons with his fear of being truly seen, comes out to his family a second time as an adult, and faces the fallout of choosing a life in New Britain, and with Mateo, over the one his father expected of him. The two men fight, break, and choose each other again, learning that love, like good writing, survives revision. Book Three: The Published Edition carries them into a shared future: reconciliation, a proposal, a wedding planned amid community chaos, and vows exchanged in front of the city that raised them both. In the final chapters, Mateo and Jakub found the Write to Rise Fellowship together, turning their own story into a program for the next generation of New Britain writers, closing, ten years later, on the same hillside where their story first began.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. My Journey with Jesus** is a two-part testimony of survival and faith.Part One tells the true story of Louise Patterson, born in New Haven, Connecticut, with medical struggles she didn't choose and a childhood marked by abandonment and abuse. From a father figure who taught her what love could feel like, to the man who exploited her family's trust, to the courage of a twelve-year-old who built a case against her own abusers, to the hospital stay, the foster home in Shelton, and the long, unglamorous work of becoming a mother, a grandmother, and a voice for others - this is a memoir that does not look away from the truth, because Louise learned long ago that silence is its own kind of prison.Part Two carries that testimony forward into a 23-chapter devotional journey, walking through the seasons every believer eventually faces: hope in difficult circumstances, trust through unresolved trials, healing after brokenness, the discipline of forgiveness, the practice of prayer, and a faith that chooses to walk by trust rather than by sight. Each of the book's thirty-eight chapters closes with a Scripture verse and a personal reflection, turning one woman's story into a companion for anyone still finding their own way through the dark toward morning.Together, the two halves of this book form a single message: no one is too broken, too forgotten, or too far gone to be met by God and made new.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Synopsis of THE GAME I WROTE: Slick Rick THE GAME I WROTE: A Slick Rick Story is an urban fiction novel that tells the powerful story of redemption, resilience, and community leadership through the life of Slick Rick-a man who leaves behind a life of crime to become a champion for his community. After losing a loved one to street violence, Slick Rick makes the life-changing decision to turn away from his past. He dedicates himself to education, community service, and founding HAT Force, a nonprofit organization committed to helping families in need. When he decides to run for the New Britain, Connecticut City Council, his past resurfaces. Political opponents attempt to discredit him by exposing his former life on the streets and attacking his sexual orientation, hoping to cast doubt on his ability to lead. Despite these challenges, Slick Rick faces every obstacle with honesty and determination, supported by mentors, faith leaders, loyal friends, and a new romantic relationship that reminds him he is worthy of love and happiness. As his campaign gains momentum, the threats against him intensify, culminating in a brutal hate-motivated attack that nearly claims his life. During his recovery, he comes to realize the profound impact he has made on his community, receiving overwhelming support from the many people whose lives have been transformed by his compassion, service, and leadership. More than a political story, THE GAME I WROTE is an inspiring novel about second chances, perseverance, love, faith, and the power of rewriting your own story. It delivers a timeless message of hope: your past does not define your future, and anyone can change their life by choosing to serve others with courage, integrity, and purpose.…
