Two friends, torn apart by a scheming outsider. Paul and Christalyn are the best of friends from the outset. However, because they are friends so long, it’s difficult for Paul to tell her he’s developed feelings for her. Christalyn doesn’t see a romantic future for them and takes their close-knit relationship for granted. So, when Christalyn meets Harrison Blake on her college campus, she is captivated by his worldly charm. Against her better judgement as a Christian woman, she starts to date the dashing, debonair counselor, with full knowledge Harrison does not share her faith and could possibly lead her astray. Then, Paul and Christalyn’s journey begins through the eye of the storm. There seems no end to their torrential stint. Through tragedy, loss and distress, the couple emerges invincible, as they trust the God of heaven to navigate through the turbulence. It depicts the power of love, as stated in the biblical book of Song of Solomon 8:6, “Love is strong as death.” Through the fire and the rain, they learn a valuable lesson, which is, love’s reward is sweeter, after having partaken in the bitter hardships of life.
Paul and Mary...Tea for Two!" is a memoir of Paul Kennedy and Mary Ryan who met as school children in the 1920's. They eloped to Canada in 1929 and had a family of eight children over 22 years. They survived World War I, The Crash of 1929, The Great Depression, World War II, The Baby Boom, Korean War, the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, and for Mary the New Millennium. They met with historical crises and personal tragedies bolstered by their faith in God, love of Family, and undaunted work ethic. Married for fifty five years they left an indelible mark on this world bequeathing the heart and soul of humanity to their offspring. Do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work will not need a miracle but You shall be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself and the richness of life that comes in you by the grace of God. Phillips Brooks, 1925
The all-new Practicing Under the U.S. Anti-Corruption Laws provides the practical guidance you need to advise your clients on all major U.S. anti-corruption laws in one, easy to use volume. With comprehensive coverage of the representation process from planning the prevention and compliance program through internal and governmental investigation, enforcement, and post-investigation compliance, Practicing Under the U.S. Anti-Corruption Laws includes all the information you need to ensure that your client stays in compliance. In recent years, the DOJ and SEC have ramped up their anti-corruption enforcement efforts dramatically. It is now more important than ever for companies subject to the FCPA to ensure they have robust anti-corruption compliance programs and effective tools for addressing government investigations. The FCPA applies to: All public companies All U.S. companies Many foreign companies U.S. citizens working anywhere in the world Foreign citizens working for U.S. companies Foreign citizens working for foreign companies that trade on a U.S. exchange Third parties that act on behalf of an entity subject to the statute. Moreover, DOJ and SEC have made it a priority to: Pursue criminal and civil charges against individuals as well as companies Pursue foreign companies, even where that company is under investigation by another country (e.g., Siemens) Impose substantial monetary penalties of tens of millions and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars Develop cases without relying on voluntary disclosures; and Target particular industries (e.g., technology and medical device companies, as well as companies participating in the UN Iraq Oil-for-Food Program). This expansion has made anti-corruption compliance a focus of all companies subject to the FCPA and has heightened the need for sound guidance on implementing compliance programs, reporting violations, dealing with government investigations, and conducting adequate due diligence to ensure compliance of target companies in mergers and acquisitions. Only Practicing Under the U.S. Anti-Corruption Laws delivers: Coverage of all U.S. Anti-Corruption laws, with a focus on the FCPA , but also including: SOX, USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC regulations, Travel Act, mail and wire fraud statutes, and anti-money laundering statutes Expert insight into the FCPA's detailed compliance requirements An international chapter that includes activities in China, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia co-authored by Alexandra Wrage, President and Founder, TRACE International Chapters covering SEC enforcement practices and trends, corporate criminal liability principles in the FCPA arena, and FCPA compliance authored by Larry Ellsworth, Andrew Weissmann and Richard Ziegler, who are former SEC lawyers and federal prosecutors and all partners at Jenner & Block LLP
The incidents described in this book include the 1890 assassination of the New Orleans Chief of Police David Hennessey, the resulting Italian lynchings, and the 1906 murder of the seven-year-old child Walter Lamana. The first two incidents were the impetus for the 1999 HBO movie "Vendetta" and the book The Crescent City Lynchings by Tom Smith. The third incident had the most impact on many of the families documented in this book. The Walter Lamana child-killing story has not resurfaced for over a hundred years, until now.The high profile crimes of the late 1800s and early 1900s typically do not mention the places of origin of the families involved. The majority of those involved came from a small town in Sicily named Chiusa Sclafani, which is near Corleone, situated in the province of Palermo. Chiusa Sclafani is not mentioned in the movie Vendetta, nor the books covering the incidents and families involved.Fifteen years and roughly 60,000 hours of research are included in this book. This is one of most uniquely written books seen in centuries, and embodies a far-reaching and massive amount of documentation.For the most part this book is a reference material. Included are details of ancestor voyages, accounts of major incidents, the impacts those incidents had on these families, and more. There are steamer ship voyages documented for 27 families and for 795 individuals. There are 32 family trees presented. The Index includes 731 unique surnames and 2948 individuals documented in the family trees presented.The early chapters of this book describe the experience of the voyage and American citizenship process for our Sicilian immigrant ancestors, the "incidents" which occurred in New Orleans which caused the massive family dispersions, as well as a short description of Chiusa Sclafani and New Orleans.The middle chapters contain the steamer ship voyages for many of those who left the island of Sicily and entered America. This is the main artery of this book, which connects the present to the past and vice-versa. This chapter will help many people in their research by "jumping the ocean", a peculiar and meaningful genealogy term.The latter chapters of this book include the family descendant trees, which span from the earliest ancestors researched in Sicily, to the present. The first page (sometimes more than one page) of most of the family chapters includes a short dialogue explaining the familys entrance to America, detailing who migrated from Sicily to America, migrations from New Orleans to other places, many surname spelling changes, and more.Because the original research focused on the authors own family, the Palisi family documentation includes 400 years and 12 complete generations. Further, the Palisi chapter contains a heraldry entry found in a document dated from the 1500s, placenames around the globe where the name Palisi is used, and genetic DNA testing results of the Palisi line. Frank Palisi chose to include his own familys genetic DNA testing and results in this book since he was inspired by National Geographics (and their partner IBM) efforts to genetically test the DNA of a sampling of the worlds population to determine how the earth was repopulated after the last Ice Age.As a result of this book, first, second, and third cousins can now find out who and where their relatives are, after being separated over a hundred years ago.This book has attracted and will continue to attract historians, genealogists, mafia enthusiasts, university professors & students, and more!
A Collection of Articles written by Joseph L. Purington which were submitted to, and published by, the Southern Baptist Messenger and Signs of the Times periodicals. While reading these articles, one may learn much history, and will be edified in the most holy faith of God's elect. An unintended side benefit in reading these will be a growing sense of the turbulent religious upheaval of his day, as equal to the extreme religious frenzy now possessing modern so-called churches. The screams, shaking, jumping, racket-making, arm-slinging, madness once noted in Scripture of the followers of Baal at Mt. Carmel, and the present-day Voodooism of the Caribbean somewhat identify the natural religion of this world's adoption, and falsely claim, to be "Christianity". One may compare the quiet, humble, and reverent worship of Zion with that of contemporary American noisy and carnal religion. Stanley C. Phillips
Bringing Religion and Spirituality into Therapy provides a comprehensive and timely model for spirituality-integrated therapy which is truly pluralist and responsive to the ever-evolving World of religion/spirituality. This book presents an algorithmic, process-based model for organizing the abundance of theoretical and practical literature around how psychology, religion and spirituality interact in counseling. Building on a tripartite framework, the book discusses the practical implications of the model and shows how it can be used in the context of assessment and case formulation, research, clinical competence, and education, and the broad framework ties together many strands of scholarship into religion and spirituality in counseling across a number of disciplines. Chapters address the concerns of groups such as the unaffiliated, non-theists, and those with multiple spiritual influences. This approachable book is aimed at mental health students, practitioners, and educators. In it, readers are challenged to develop richer ways of understanding, being, and intervening when religion and spirituality are brought into therapy.
