9 Lives by 35

An Olympic Gymnast's Inspiring Story of Reinvention

By: Mary Sanders

Olympic gymnast and Cirque du Soleil acrobat Mary Sanders shares her incredible story of dedication and personal sacrifice that led to success and reinvention. Mary Sanders was handed an Olympic dream by her father from the moment she was born. Determined to follow in his footsteps, the young gymnast struggled through training setbacks, financial hardships, and personal rivalries, under a cloud of grief, to compete in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. But that achievement was only the beginning for a woman determined to reinvent herself and consistently raise her own standards for success. In this revealing memoir, Mary recounts her journey from Olympian to Cirque du Soleil acrobat to entertainment executive working for Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec while balancing life at home with two children. Through it all, no matter what obstacles are thrown in her path, Mary pushes forward, leaning on her faith, her family, and her enduring optimism to support her in each of her nine lives so far.

Celluloid Saints

Images of Sanctity in Film

By: Theresa Sanders

The book is written with two goals in mind. The first is to give film viewers some background and context for evaluating what they see on screen, By and large. Hollywood is not conversant with theological issues; occasionally, movies reveal an appalling ignorance about religion. More often, however, the approach movies take is simply flat-footed and unsophisticated. Giving readers the tools they need to interpret and critique cinematic portrayals of sanctity is one goal of this book.".

Sanders Family: a Thousand-Year History

A Revised and Expanded Edition of Generations: a Thousand-Year Family History

By: Ralph Sanders, PhD

This book chronicles thirty generations and a thousand years of Sanders (and Saunders) family evolution beginning before Englands earliest days and ending across the Atlantic in colonial Virginia and later Kentucky. Family figures are described in their own distinctive historical contexts, and an extensive genealogy focused on Old World lineage is appended. Nearly a thousand chapter notes on sources and commentaries are furnished to assist readers interested in discovering their own ancestry. This new book revises and expands our earlier edition by extending family history another five generations and two hundred years into the deep past, correcting earlier literature on this subject. For the first time, the family coat of arms is decoded to learn its message. The portrayal of family activity and circumstances before and during the American colonial period are improved, and an appendix of previously unpublished Sanders vital records for the seventeenth century is included.

Disciplining Girls

Understanding the Origins of the Classic Orphan Girl Story

By: Joe Sutliff Sanders

At the heart of some of the most beloved children’s novels is a passionate discussion about discipline, love, and the changing role of girls in the twentieth century. Joe Sutliff Sanders traces this debate as it began in the sentimental tales of the mid-nineteenth century and continued in the classic orphan girl novels of Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L. M. Montgomery, and other writers still popular today. Domestic novels published between 1850 and 1880 argued that a discipline that emphasized love was the most effective and moral form. These were the first best sellers in American fiction, and by reimagining discipline as a technique of the heart—rather than of the whip—they ensured their protagonists a secure, if limited, claim on power. This same ideal was adapted by women authors in the early twentieth century, who transformed the sentimental motifs of domestic novels into the orphan girl story made popular in such novels as Anne of Green Gables and Pollyanna. Through close readings of nine of the most influential orphan girl novels, Sanders provides a seamless historical narrative of American children’s literature and gender from 1850 until 1923. He follows his insightful literary analysis with chapters on sympathy and motherhood, two themes central to both American and children’s literature, and concludes with a discussion of contemporary ideas about discipline, abuse, and gender. Disciplining Girls writes an important chapter in the history of American, women’s, and children’s literature, enriching previous work about the history of discipline in America.

Revelation

By: Ron Sanders

The majority of people today avoid the book of Revelation, saying it is hard if not impossible to understand. We might ask if this is the case, why would a God who has revealed Himself to man and wants us to understand His ways, allow such a book to have been written and preserved through the ages? It is true that Revelation is a difficult book and takes effort to understand, but it is also true that it is understandable to those who make an effort. To those who will make an effort, God even pronounces a blessing. Hopefully this book will help many to better understand this final book and capstone of God’s cannon of His revealed truth for us. It is the goal of this writing to present an account true to scripture that is understandable to the lay reader.

The First Christmas Present Ever

A Children's Program

By: Sherry Sanders

Versatile -- "ready-to-use" -- no memorization required. Just what the volunteer ordered. This program is appropriate for Christmas Eve or any Sunday morning in Advent. Involving children of all ages and one adult, it can be used in any size church with a few participants or many. Two versions -- a longer version intended for a full-length service and a shortened version to be used in place of a sermon -- are also included. Symbols of Christmas (a tree, ornaments, candy canes, a crech and more) are combined with biblical readings and brief dialogue to create a greater understanding of Christian traditions. While the narrative dialogue is being read, a silent, active nativity scene is shown to illustrate the first Christmas present ever. (Copying privileges included.) Sherry Sanders holds degrees in arts and education from Victoria College and the University of Houston. She has taught kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade, and reading. She lives in Yorktown, Texas, with her husband, two daughters and son.

Whispers in the Cedars

Port Gibson, Mississippi’s Wintergreen Cemetery

By: William Sanders

Whispers in the Cedars: Port Gibson, Mississippi's Wintergreen Cemetery by William L. Sanders “The purpose of this book is not only to list those laid to rest in this beautiful, historic burial ground, but also to provide an easy and accurate way to locate specific graves, by using the maps and locations referenced within.” In this, author Sanders has admirably succeeded. Thoroughly researched, Whispers in the Cedars provides a systematic guide to this revered resting place in Port Gibson, Mississippi. Wanting “to let the stones speak” for themselves, Mr. Sanders records the information contained on each gravestone. And an extensive Index of Last Names offers ready access to the contents. “It is my sincere wish that the reader will find this book not only valuable as a genealogical reference tool, but may find it entertaining as well. I hope you enjoy it!” Again, a wish fulfilled in this book of remembrance and dedication.

Poems of Reality

By: Charles Monk Sanders

My book, Poems of Reality, has been written based on my living experiences and relationships with those who have surrounded me throughout my life. Guidance from God and encouragement from my wife Carol and my mother have led me to write poems on spiritual blessings, human suffering, love and compassion, education, and politics. Poems on Reality reveals love and concern for those struggling for life and the multitudes suffering from government and corporate greed in America. My wish is that Poems of Reality will encourage readers to apply for the five earthly promises of God found in Psalms 41:13 and become eligible for an eternal home in heaven, listed in Matthew 25:3140.

The God Who Risks

A Theology of Divine Providence

By: John Sanders

If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, can he in any way be vulnerable to his creation? Can God be in control of anything at all if he is not constantly in control of everything? John Sanders says yes to both of these questions. In The God Who Risks defends his answer with a careful and challenging argument. He first builds his case on an in-depth reading of the Old and New Testaments. Then Sanders probes philosophical, historical and systematic theology for further support. And he completes his defense with considerations drawn from practical theology. The God Who Risks is a profound and often inspiring presentation of "relational theism"--an understanding of providence in which "a personal God enters into genuine give-and-take relations with his creatures." With this book Sanders not only contributes to serious theological discussion but also enlightens pastors and laypersons who struggle with questions about suffering, evil and human free will.

Understanding these phases, knowing what to expect, and learning what they can do to help themselves give parents greater assurance and comfort.

Sibling Relationships

Theory and Issues for Practice

By: Robert Sanders

The impact of sibling relationships on how people develop has been dramatically under-emphasised in the literature on child development. Drawing together new and established research, this accessible text shows that these relationships are crucial to professionals' under-standing of the children and the families they work with. Sibling Relationships offers a theoretically grounded and culturally sensitive account of the many complexities of sibling relationships, emphasising the significance of these for practice and the ways in which the effectiveness of work with children and families can be enhanced by promoting positive connections between brothers and sisters. It examines a range of adverse circumstances for children and families - substance abuse, domestic violence, loss, disability and mental illness - considering how sibling relationships are affected by these circumstances, and how relationships with siblings might help to promote resilience in children. Practice notes provide examples of how sibling relationships can become an important focus in the work of professionals. This is the first book to link knowledge of sibling relationships to the practice of working with families. It will be important reading for anyone interested in children and families, including students and professionals in the areas of social work, counselling, applied social studies and childhood studies.
