Paperback. Condition: Good. Learning to become a man without a man to show him how. This is the life story of Andre Harrison, pastor, youth advocate and a father of three boys. Millions of children in the world today are growing up without the active presence of a father. Whether it is due to his demanding work schedule, his criminal behavior or his own cowardice, he is absent from the home. Studies have shown that fatherlessness is an epidemic that affects the social and psychological development of children, most particularly male children. In this book, Harrison poses the question: When a young man is raised without a man, how will he learn to become a man? Written from a refreshing, first-person perspective, From a Fatherless Father to his Sons is more than a memoir of Harrison's struggle to achieve manhood for himself in the face of such odds, it is a how-to manual for the fatherless. In it, are life lessons about faith, sex, integrity and many other nuggets of wisdom that all boys should know, but - sadly - most fatherless boys don't. Harrison offers readers practical steps for becoming a man even in the absence of one. Whether you are a young man, single mom or a father trying to rebuild a relationship with your son this book will be a help to you. Charles, Katrina K (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. It is widely known that Charles Dickens gave public readings of his works, and that those readings were enormously popular. Far less well known are the stories themselves; these were not, as is the modern fashion, taken verbatim from the published novels. Instead, Dickens trimmed, reworded, and re-shaped material from the novels to create stories that would be self-contained artistic entities. These concise "performance fictions," shaped in every way to be accessible to a broad audience, are in many ways an ideal introduction to Dickens's work for the modern reader. Four of the most successful of these short works have been selected for this volume, including "The Story of Little Dombey" (perhaps the most emotionally affecting of all the readings, and described by Dickens as his "greatest triumph everywhere") and the violent and suspenseful "Sikes and Nancy" (Dickens's overpowering performances of which were said to have contributed to his death). Provided in the contextual materials is a selection of reviews and contemporary descriptions that comment on Dickens's manner of performance and audience reception. A brief excerpt from Dombey and Son is also included, illustrating the extensive revision process that led to "The Story of Little Dombey.".…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Charles has guided and coached lawyers, television producers, and many celebrities in his "Eat Fat and Get Fit!" principles for reduced body fat, more energy, improved memory, better skin and muscle tone, and enhanced sex drive. In fact, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon recommends Charles' program as an alternative to liposuction. Now, Hunt is shaking up the multi-million dollar diet industry by exposing documented studies that show low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets don't work - and they are actually causing people to gain weight. Why? Because Americans are eating foods that they aren't evolved to eat. Instead of being lean, fit, and healthy, 55% of Americans are unnecessarily overweight, sick, devitalized, impotent and unhappy by struggling to follow an artificially invented "food pyramid". Charles Hunt's Diet Evolution can change all that for you - now. You were born to be lean, healthy and fit. Eat foods like steak, bacon and eggs without fear. Maintain muscle while losing unwanted pounds. Stop counting calories and fat grams. Don't ever weigh or measure anything again. Eat whenever you're hungry.And it's never been easier or simpler than when Charles shows you step-by-step the foods that your body was designed to eat.…
