STATIONS

Changing Your Life – Changing Your Career

By: Lynda Mubarak

To live a vibrant and successful life, you must embrace two truths: everyone’s life journey is about change, and each phase of life offers opportunities that we often overlook. No matter where you find yourself in life, you have unexplored talent, untapped resources, and the ability to make the most of the station you are occupying at the moment. If you are fully grounded in your religious or spiritual practices, follow all the moral and ethical rules required to build sound character, but your career is not flourishing or rewarding, there may be some personal lifestyle routines, unrealistic expectations, or self-defeating behaviors worth examining. STATIONS is a collection of articles exploring the life lessons many of us encounter as we grow and change in personal and career paths in a world fueled by information and technology. Author Lynda Mubarak shares essays about teaching experiences, personal observations, professional relationships, health, family dynamics, and career transitions. It is a book designed to create hope for those who may be at a crossroads, or need a starting point for discussions about creating a thoughtful, positive path forward while also recognizing the potential that exists wherever you are right now. Inspiring, amusing, compassionate, smart, and caring, STATIONS is an ideal resource for anyone who wants to engage consciously and deeply with life transitions. If you are not where you would like to be, it's time to change STATIONS and only you can do it. Dr. Lynda believes that we all have gifts and many of them are never unwrapped.

A Burning Hunger

One Family’s Struggle Against Apartheid

By: Lynda Schuster

If the Mandelas were the generals in the fight for black liberation, the Mashininis were the foot soldiers. Theirs is a story of exile, imprisonment, torture, and loss, but also of dignity, courage, and strength in the face of appalling adversity. Originally published in Great Britain to critical acclaim, A Burning Hunger: One Family’s Struggle Against Apartheid tells a deeply moving human story and is one of the seminal books about the struggle against apartheid. This family, Joseph and Nomkhitha Mashinini and their thirteen children, became immersed in almost every facet of the liberation struggle—from guerrilla warfare to urban insurrection. Although Joseph and Nomkhitha were peaceful citizens who had never been involved in politics, five of their sons became leaders in the antiapartheid movement. When the students of Soweto rose up in 1976 to protest a new rule making Afrikaans the language of instruction, they were led by charismatic young Tsietsi Mashinini. Scores of students were shot down and hundreds were injured. Tsietsi’s actions on that day set in motion a chain of events that would forever change South Africa, define his family, and transform their lives. A Burning Hunger shows the human catastrophe that plagued generations of black Africans in the powerful story of one religious and law-abiding Soweto family. Basing her narrative on extensive research and interviews, Lynda Schuster richly portrays this remarkable family and in so doing reveals black South Africa during a time of momentous change.

Carver Park

By: Lynda Jones Mubarak

It would seem that growing up in segregated Waco, Texas in the 1950s would be filled with challenges and disappointments for any African-American child, but Lynda Jones learned everything possible about the world beyond segregation due to the influences of her family. Carver Park gives us a view into the life of one child who found that regardless of society's circumstances, the persons in our lives provide us with the knowledge and support needed to learn, survive and progress during a time of great social unrest and historical change"--Page [4] of cover.
