Dead River to Living Water

My Journey Down this Lifeless River to the Lifegiving Waters of Christ's Redeeming Grace

By: Tommy Poole

Will you love her, honor her, and cherish her for as long as you both shall live?" Tommy assented to this question not once, not twice, but three times. And each time, he stood before the same woman! Follow his story as he journeys from the Dead River swamp of South Georgia through the muddy waters of a sin-filled life as a rebellious teen, a disrespectful son, an arrogant US Marine, an unfaithful husband, and an absent father until, in desperation and on realizing his need for more than human help, he cried out to God! You will be inspired as his story unfolds. Just as the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well received a drink of Jesus's living water, changing everything for her, so it was for Tommy Poole. A life of sin being overcome by God's abundant, amazing grace and love and then the incredible joy of experiencing human forgiveness that comes after, which could only be the fruit of the Savior's example, all lead to a life of service in ministry for his Redeemer! Tommy journals how the voyage from this life's dead river to living water is possible for everyone! Comments from Pastor Gary Moyer, VP for Administration/Executive Secretary of the Caroline Conference "If you need encouragement that God is able to turn your life around for the better, you need to read this book. This is one of those easy, compelling reads I found hard to put down. I've known Tommy for years but never knew the whole, amazing story. Wow!" Comments from Thomas T. Hardy, Director and Speaker of the Layman's Guidepost, LLC. "What an amazing testimony! Absolutely amazing! I love the river/ water allegory and how it remains consistent throughout the book. The opening scene at the kitchen table is incredibly powerful! It drew me in immediately! Your early years were so intensely challenging with so many distinctive experiences. This story is something a lot of people will not be able to put down once they get started. It is almost like a movie! "Your raw honesty is very earthly and real, making your references to the spiritual concepts more voracious for the consumption of the reader. I love it! The impelling motives you give the reader at the end of most chapters kept me wanting more. Yet the horrors of the alcoholic demon that overshadowed your life gave me great insight about and empathy for your struggle, Pastor! "This is good stuff! Both interesting and spiritually compelling, this book grips the reader from the outset with scenes of gritty, fallen humanity inspired and transformed by the living waters cascading from the throne of God! The reader is invited to relive the journey of a man caught in the throes of the fallen nature, being miraculously lifted up by the hands of Jesus Christ from His cross. "Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of reviewing this book! It has been a personal blessing to me in my faith walk, and I am sure that it will be a blessing to every soul who reads it.

Cooking for Jack

By: Tommy Baratta,Marylou Baratta

When Jack Nicholson needed to lose the twenty-five pounds he'd gained to portray the lead character in the film Hoffa in order to star in Wolf, he called on his longtime pal, chef Tommy Baratta. The "Jack Nicholson Diet", now on the menu of Baratta's popular Greenwich Village restaurant, Marylou's, is the basis for the simple, low-fat, yet soul-satisfying recipes in Cooking for Jack. To help Jack slim down, Tommy drew on the philosophy that fine Italian food means fresh ingredients, simply prepared, and he created a powerhouse repertoire of quick, full-flavored dishes that are low in fat and calories. Eating Tommy's way, Jack dropped those extra pounds - and so did Tommy! Cooking for Jack includes more that one hundred of the recipes that keep Jack lean and energized, from breakfasts such as Basic Frittata and No Problem French Toast to his favorite dessert, a luscious but light Rice Pudding with rum-soaked raisins.

Lightning Can Strike Twice

My Life as a Fury

By: Tommy Fury

In his first book professional boxer and social media star, Tommy Fury, reveals what life is like juggling his many identities: boxing champion, TV star, mental health advocate, and father, and navigating the most difficult period of his life in August 2024. "Since writing this book, some things have changed for me. In the last couple of weeks, I have felt like my voice has been taken away from me. I am really proud of my book and I wanted to give it as current an ending as it is possible. We were able to delay the first print run because I do have something to add and where better than here, a place where I can speak freely and feel safe." When Tommy Fury realised as a young boy that he wanted to become a boxer, the odds were stacked against him. His father was sent to prison when Tommy was only nine, casting his family life into chaos. He couldn't afford a bus ticket to the gym to train, so he'd have to walk three hours instead. When he got there, everyone wanted to fight him - guys much older than him and twice his size - to say they could beat a Fury. In Lightning Can Strike Twice, Tommy Fury opens up about his incredible story - defying pressure and triumphing regardless of the weight of expectation on his shoulders - and the many sides to his life. He shares unfiltered stories about his experience on Love Island, candid insight into his life with Molly-Mae and as a father to their daughter Bambi, and a glimpse behind the scenes of what life is like as part of the UK's most popular family - including never-before-seen personal photos. Tommy Fury wasn't supposed to succeed. How could another champion come out of the family that had already produced Tyson Fury? In this open, honest memoir, Tommy shows that lightning can strike twice and that there's more to being a Fury than knowing how to fight.

The Homunculi Approach to Social and Emotional Wellbeing

A Flexible CBT Programme for Young People on the Autism Spectrum or with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

She Had a Treasure and She Threw It Away is about a dedicated godly husband who loved his wife like God loves the church. How a wife allowed Satan to trick her into taking a bite of the forbidden fruit (his lies).

Cautious, A Boat Adrift

By: Tommy Sissons

As a failing journalist cares for his alcoholic grandfather, remnants of the elderly man’s long-buried stories resurface and drive him to an obsessional search for truth. “The land of men is an untouched one. It is the companionship of quiet. It is so many darkened boats, heading their own way, in the night.” Leeds, 2017. Disaffected journalist Fred Whitby and his mother visit Grandad Norman following the death of his callous second wife, Brenda. Norman has relapsed into alcoholism. Brenda’s daughter and her husband have invaded the house. Whilst writing a diary in attempt to revive his creativity, Fred finds himself cast adrift in his family history, trying frantically to piece together the fragmented memories, half-truths, secrets and mythologies that lie therein. Disappearances. Post-war protection rackets. An IRA bomb plot. Romantic rivalries. The kidnap of a traitorous miner. As spectres of the past meet with the looming presence of a post-truth future, Fred must navigate the illogical and unprovable stories of his grandfather and come to terms with the absence of irrecoverable voices in his quest for whatever truth and meaning remains.

Union County is a paramount of Southern hospitality and Appalachian charm. A true picture of scenic beauty, this mountainous haven enjoys the overwhelming presence of nature, as manifested in its abundant forests, native animals, flowing streams, and waterfalls.

The images in this pictorial volume illustrate such accomplishments, while also paying tribute to the county's military tradition, sports, area attractions, and distinguished individuals. Union County: 1970-2003 includes highlights of the area's natural beauty, while also providing a glimpse of the lasting contributions of local residents over the last 30 years of the 20th century.

In Spirit and in Truth

Rediscovering the Message of Jesus

By: Tommy E. Smith Jr.

In Spirit and In Truth Rediscovering the Message of Jesus Two thousand years ago, a Jewish carpenter with a small band of followers introduced ideas and concepts that shook the religious world down to its very foundations. Two thousand years later, the two-billion-person, multibillion-dollar religious infrastructure it spawned impacts the entire globe, but seems to have lost touch with many of the core ideas introduced by Jesus in the days when he and his disciples walked around Galilee. This book seeks to help readers rediscover the warmth, comfort, and relevance of Jesus by encouraging its readers to take another closer look at his essential message.

American Dreamer

My Life in Fashion & Business

By: Tommy Hilfiger,Peter Knobler

In this tale of grit and glamour, setbacks and comebacks, business and pop culture icon Tommy Hilfiger shares his extraordinary life story for the first time. Few designers have stayed on top of changing trends the way Tommy Hilfiger has. Fewer still have left such an indelible mark on global culture. Since designing his first collection of “classics with a twist” three decades ago, Tommy Hilfiger has been synonymous with all-American style—but his destiny wasn’t always so clear. Growing up one of nine children in a working-class family in Elmira, New York, Tommy suffered from dyslexia, flunked sophomore year of high school, and found himself constantly at odds with his father. Nevertheless, this self-described dreamer had a vision and the relentless will to make it a reality. At eighteen he opened his own clothing store, parlaying his uncanny instinct for style into a budding career as a fashion designer. Through decades of triumph and turmoil, Tommy remained doggedly optimistic. To this day, his approach to commerce is rooted in his positive view of the world. American Dreamer brims with anecdotes that cover Tommy’s years as a club kid and scrappy entrepreneur in 1970s New York as well as unique insights into the exclusive A-list personalities with whom he’s collaborated and interacted, from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. But this is more than just a fashion icon’s memoir—it’s a road map for building a brand, both professionally and personally. Tommy takes us behind the scenes of every decision—and every mistake—he’s ever made, offering advice on leadership, business, team-building, and creativity. This is the story of a true American original, told for the first time in his own words, with honesty, humor, and the insatiable appetite for life and style that proves that sometimes you have to dream big to make it big. Praise for American Dreamer “A unique look into the fashion world . . . an honest, straightforward, mostly entertaining autobiography of the man who created a classic yet hip line of clothing.”—Kirkus Reviews “Fashionistas and business gurus alike will glean important lessons from Hilfiger’s rags-to-riches rag-trade story.”—Booklist “Tommy burst onto the fashion scene at the height of hip-hop and was instantly taken up by rappers and rockers alike. Since then, year after year he has been ahead of the curve with his elegant and stylish looks. His creative energy has always been an inspiration to me. He’s really himself in American Dreamer.”—Mick Jagger "In American Dreamer Tommy shows how he has taken the (rock) stars and the (preppy) stripes and come up with a look—and a label—that are recognized globally as being quintessentially American, as well as a brand that constantly keeps time with pop music.”—Anna Wintour “Tommy is an inspiration to many people. American Dreamer shows how he has managed to be successful in business and done so with integrity.”—David Beckham “Tommy is one of the most genuine people I know! In American Dreamer you can feel his passion pour through everything he does: fashion, fatherhood, family, and friendship!”—Alicia Keys “Tommy Hilfiger is an American icon who was able to transcend fashion and blend it with pop culture and take it to a worldwide audience. American Dreamer documents how, unlike any other designer, Tommy was able to tap into music, its subculture, and its influence on society.”—Tommy Mottola

Living in Color: What's Funny About Me

Stories from In Living Color, Pop Culture, and the Stand-Up Comedy Scene of the 80s & 90s

By: Tommy Davidson

“Tommy Davidson is a journeyman performer. He knows the how and the what and his timing is off the hook. He's one of my favorite performers. Oh and did I mention he's funny, REALLY funny.” —Whoopi Goldberg In this revealing memoir, Tommy Davidson shares his unique perspective on making it in Hollywood, being an integral part of television history, on fame and family, and on living a life that has never been black and white—just funny and true . . . Abandoned as an infant on the streets of Greenville, Mississippi, and rescued by a loving white family, Tommy Davidson spent most of his childhood unaware that he was different from his brother and sister. All that changed as he came of age in a society of racial barriers—ones that he was soon to help break. On a fledgling network, Tommy joined the cast of In Living Color, alongside other relative newcomers all united by an ingenious throng of Wayans siblings, poised to break new ground. Now Tommy gives readers the never-before-told behind-the-scenes story of the first show born of the Hip Hop Nation: from its incredible rise, to his own creation of such unforgettable characters as Sweet Tooth Jones and dead-on impressions of Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson, M.C. Hammer and Sugar Ray Leonard, and appearing in such classic sketches as “Homie The Clown,” the “Hey Mon, family,” and the “Ugly Woman,” through guest-star skirmishes (and black eyes) to backstage tensions and the eventual fall of this pop-culture touchstone. He reveals his own nascent career on the stand-up circuit, as well as reflections on working with Spike Lee, Halle Berry, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett Smith. He also shares his very personal story of living with—and being inspired and empowered by—two distinct family histories. Told with humor and hard-won honesty, Living in Color is a bracing, illuminating, and remarkable success story.

Masculinity in the Golden Age of Swedish Cinema

A Cultural Analysis of 1920s Films

By: Tommy Gustafsson

Swedish society underwent great changes during the first decades of the 1900s and the new consumption and entertainment culture came under fire. Children and youth--but also women and the working classes--become symbols of the forces breaking down traditional structures and values. These groups were also identified as the principal audience for the new film medium. Hence, during the silent era, film culture interacted with society at large, filling the screen with contradictory images of diverging masculinities and gender/ethnic relations. In fact, film culture became one of the most important arenas where new gender relations could be articulated. This book covers Swedish film culture throughout the 1920s. It is the first in-depth exploration of Swedish silent film culture that goes beyond the small number of canonized films of the "Swedish Golden Age" that have been discussed as "art" for nearly 100 years. The study is based on extensive research and takes all Swedish feature films produced in the 1920s into consideration, together with a large number of source materials that include fan and trade magazines, manuscripts, censorship records, government reports and some 900 film reviews.

Local Action

The New Paradigm in Climate Change Policy

By: Tommy Linstroth,Ryan Bell

While traditionally framed as a national and international problem, climate change is also an important local issue. For the past fifteen years, while nations have fought over the terms of emissions reductions and the Kyoto Protocol, local governments and communities have been enacting innovative measures that not only prevent emissions of significant quantities of greenhouse gases but also reduce air pollution, save money, and improve the overall quality of life. In the absence of a serious national policy that addresses global warming, these grassroots efforts can and have made a difference. Since 1993, when fourteen pioneering local governments first began to develop programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a national and international movement has formed to fight global climate change through concerted local action. These communities are having a significant effect. A handful of jurisdictions in the United States are preventing over twenty million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually and have saved over four hundred million dollars in the process. These initiatives include greening the local building codes, creating commercial waste reduction programs, encouraging water conservation, promoting bicycling and fuel-efficient vehicles, upgrading city buildings, advocating for the use of biodiesel for municipal transportation, and designing innovative systems and policies for reduced paper use. Two in-depth case studies-- Fort Collins, Colorado, and Portland, Oregon--demonstrate how two cities have created and implemented climate-friendly and environmentally sound habitats. While most books on global warming focus on national and international implications and policy approaches or serve as guides to help individuals live in an ecologically sound manner, Linstroth and Bell provide a blueprint for local governments to follow. Combining an analysis of existing federal policy with examples of successful local policy, they provide practical examples of measures that can be implemented by communities and local governments across the United States.
