Book Review - Surviving Hell by Leo Thorsness

Roy Thompson of the British press lord once said: "What makes a hero truly great is that they never despair." Such a man Leo Thorsness, a former Air Force fighter pilot, the six long years of constant torture and mind numbing boredom with unwavering courage and determination to resist is gritty. The experience of this extraordinary man recorded in his recently published book, Hell survived a POW's Journey. On April 19, 1967, Thorsness saved a place in Air Force history when he andhis car back, Harry Johnson came to the rescue of a fellow F-105 crew, since the pitch after a MIG and were surrounded by four or five more hanging in the RPI as their parachutes. In the ensuing battle, Thorsness shot down two MIG and then in a brave act of pure bluff, drove away the rest, although it was ammunition. Years later, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. Meanwhile, Johnson needs to reach and only twelve more missions to the magic numberhundred, which would allow them to return home. But it should be. Less than two weeks later, Thorsness and Johnson attacking a SAM site in North Vietnam and were then shot in captivity.

How many American aircraft was shot down, badly Thorsness during ejection at high velocity injuries. serious damage to both knees and back injuries made it almost impossible to walk when he was captured. But that seemed too little to her captors, who beat to kick the field, andShe half dragged him through the long trip to Hoa Lo prison, otherwise known as the Hanoi Hilton. It was there that his journey through hell really begins. Many of the details of his life in prison that I had read in other books. I knew that the tap code, so the prisoners communicate with each other without speaking, and had different descriptions of dirt, disease, read the inhuman living conditions, and, of course, the brutal torture of North Vietnam subjected their prisoners each day of theirLife.

What struck me about this book, however, as simple and elegant Thorsness told his story. Surviving Hell is a sparse 127 pages, but it fails to describe his experiences in great detail, naming names, if necessary, to define unfamiliar terms when needed and offers vivid descriptions of what he has seen and done as a prisoner of war. At the same time, he did not dwell on the details of his torture yet he was guest of his fellow prisoners. Instead, his attention seemsbe explained how he managed to maintain his dignity and his mind during his torture, especially by prolonged isolation.

Surviving Hell was released in December 2008. Ironically, this is the same month, Jane Fonda, the actress anti-war protesters who once famously declared that American POWs were treated humanely shot was taken in the Museum's California Hall of Fame. The reader will no doubt draw their own conclusions about this incident.Surviving Hell is published by Encounter Books and is available from most good bookshops or online booksellers like Amazon and books meeting barnesandnoble for $ 25.95.

Book Review - Chasing Daylight by Eugene O'Kelly

Find out how a person, hundreds of corporate books, has, in particular, successful entrepreneurs, I have a fair opportunity to review and assess the accounts. I read biographies of Henry Ford Stewart, Richard Branson, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Martha, but have never read a book like Chasing Daylight by Eugene O'Kelly.

Eugene O'Kelly was a success, with down to earth, amazing people. He had two daughters, a woman who was his only true companion in life, and had workedhis way up to CEO of the company billions of dollars, KPMG. The majority of Americans would agree that short of a big family, a much appreciated and well paid, and a lot of friends. But after he was CEO for only two years he started, he said, his health deteriorated. One side of his face was a bit 'flabby and showed signs of paralysis. In addition, headaches that thought, the stress began to worry.

O'Kelly took time out from his program andDays taken to visit his doctors and the head and brain scans. The results were shocking, he had three tumors golf ball companies in three different parts of his brain that had been there so long that the tissue was dead, did not work. Doctors told him that his prognosis was very bad and he should only expect to live another three months. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy options, which could offer him were still could live a couple of months, but would also significantly reducequality of life.

O'Kelly within a few hours after the diagnosis that will make the most of his remaining time realized. Immediately resigned from his role as CEO of KPMG agreement, but remain to provide for a couple of weeks to ensure a smooth transition. While most people would sit down and very depressed and angry, O'Kelly wanted to stay active, and the best possible death to die. Among them, calling all the people in his life that had been closest to him, beginning with thosearound with, but not unbelievable, as his family near. These people including employees, college roommates, family and friends. He knew the chat and conversations with these people could potentially be complicated, since it is so hard to make a final goodbye, but he continued anyway. What he found was that these meetings were very pleasant and provided good fortune in his life that he never expected. He has created hundreds of what he called "perfect moments" when everything seemedCould not be better.

Over time, Eugene spent his days full of friendly matches and the time with her two daughters and his wife Corinne. His vision began to blur and fade and his motor skills had deteriorated. He had the need to relax and find inner peace, and found it one day at a park. The sound of a fountain of water and thoughts of peace allowed the water from one place to another for him, a quiet place. It 'was so peaceful that the daughter boughthim well for his house so he could relax when he wanted. The book also mentions that Eugene would rent a boat and his family all day trips just to relax and enjoy the water.

The way he treated his imminent death Eugene was really amazing. It 'scary to think about the time of your death, but Eugene was able to overcome anxiety and depression and make the most of every day. She traveled with her daughters, she took time to meditate and relax with his wife, and hesaid how much he loved his family and how his brother was a great father. He also had the idea to write a wonderful book to document his transition from the physical to the spiritual world. This book was to demonstrate that knowledge can actually be a blessing to his date of death and allow you to see how good life can be. It was not only able to speculate about his life and death, but the book gave him a final project, working with his wife Corinna.

Corinne wasrepresented as a great woman several times in this book. And 'Eugene obvious that the world thought of them and were really in love. When Eugene was writing the book, and knew he could not continue writing given to the last day of his life, Corinne, to help him write the end. They contributed several sections to close the book to document what we learn from life Eugene O'Kelly and his last days. His wife gives us tips on how to live our lives asto face each moment as it comes and live in the present. Eugene and Corinne discovered that he had a much better life when he stopped worrying about the future and what will happen in six months or a year.

The end of the book is encouraging, but also disturbing. As Corinne writes of her husband last three or four days on life, you begin to realize what a special man he was. O'Kelly was extremely weak and inactive, and was forced to read in the last days of his life. Hefought as long as possible, but eventually realized that die in the next or the next day. Family around him, including his daughter, wife and sister-in-law, when to leave, and died. Corinne points out that, although everyone was very sad to know that it is a joyful time that was in a better place and that his strong faith in God was taking him to heaven.

This book is very emotional and open your eyes to the meaning of life and death. After reading, I felt likeeveryone has the opportunity to be productive and live a better life. One simple step is to call the people you love and tell them so. One of the joys of being human is that we communicate our emotions to each other and bring a smile to the faces of each other. It does not take much to make a phone call to someone who also write or e-mail saying that someone cares about them. If the time to make a call or send an email to take advantage of to do, you will probably find moreoptimistic and perhaps even to smile more often. This book is a book everyone should read. Eugene O'Kelly was spectacular, and so we should all try, the rest of our lives as the three months of his life. This book is a definitive Rated 5 of 5.

Book Review - Theodore Roosevelt on Leadership

No president removes a larger part of the federal government, as Theodore Roosevelt. After being in a number of public offices, including New York Governor and Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt in the public service upon arrival at the White House in 1901 after experiencing the death of President McKinley.

Strock examines Roosevelt's unique approach to managing his life and especially as president. Identified a dozen areas in which primary Rooseveltdemonstrated exceptional leadership skills.

TR, as he was affectionately known, has taken the leadership role, wherever he went. He knew no fear and face every challenge with strength and courage. Roosevelt was a law student all my life all the time. In fact, Roosevelt read a book or two on average per day! He argued that the pace, while the President. He was able to speak due to a problem with people of all types of skills.

It was a team builder. He knewas customer loyalty and maintain. He always had the best on his team. He also knew how to ask and to motivate men and be the best in them. In part he does with his own incredible perseverance and achievements. He set the standard and example for all those who have worked for or with him.

It was a great orator and writer. Long before President Reagan was elected TR was a great communicator.

He was a staunch supporter of personal responsibility and integrity andnever wavered from his loyalty to country and family.

In this book, Strock does a good job of studying the man and the example shows how all these can be burned and effective leadership to achieve more than most presidents before or since.

At the end of each chapter summarizes the principles of leadership head Strock is discussed. His conclusions are often direct quotes or paraphrases from TR. For example, after the first chapter, he lists sevenimportant characteristics of a leader, including a focus on energy looking for information on their conditions and avoid the debt to others, the love of their people to be engaged in the service, to build a service culture of life, that his duty and try to earn success rather than trying to succeed.

This book is a goldmine of the best traits of leadership and philosophy of Roosevelt. In 238 pages is a good book.

Book Review - My Life and Hard Times by James Thurber

Okay, okay, so I know James Thurber is a famous writer and artist who spent most of his career writing for The New Yorker, but that was over 50 years. I really need to start washing my hands of classics such as these, because they are too old. I can understand his talent, but from a point of joy, I just need to attack later, sometimes humorous biographies written by people who are alive and living in or electricity. Even reading Garrison Keillor's LakeWobegon days driving it.

My Life and Hard Times, a very short little book is to tell funny little stories of James Thurber's childhood, youth and student. I've heard this type of "When I was young, we walked 20 miles uphill to school in the snow" stories about a billion times, and although this book may have been at an earlier point in time have, is definitely not for me . My Life and Hard Times is not terrible or bad writing, but that gets pretty boring and I wassleep.

My favorite is the chapter "University Days". Thurber tells of his frustration in science class trying to get the microscope without being engaged. His invective to see or see the dust particles right eyeball is weird because I totally relate!

Although the book is 106 pages long, I would definitely recommend taking a modern biography of fun, if you are looking for light entertainment and fun. David Sedaris is very fruitful in humorMemory of the World, and many successful comedians like Sarah Silverman and Wanda Sykes have their books.

Finding Grace - A True Story "about losing your way in life, and found it again - a review

Finding Grace is not the story I thought it would. I saw photos of a child and a child on the cover and thought it was a story about how some parents raised a child named Grace. I think I should say that was not entirely wrong, because finally a child named Grace. However, this is not entirely of grace in the title, but more the grace that is finally Vanli Donna, as she lives her life to finding solutions to problems that you think has the answersfor.

The "grace" that woman Vanli to write in a fascinating way, often thoughtful, and fun, by the grace in her life, or inspiration from God or faith or any number of ways one chooses to look. Vanli writes about her life and how he tried so far has been spent, first life, he thought it was planned in his head, only to discover that there is a different level in Serbia for them as they thought they knew.

Women Vanliexperienced fear, guilt, shame, and fight with sexually abused them as a very young child. Your search for happiness in life, the all-American dream of a husband and children with the white picket fence, not really achieve what is Donna with the wind, at least not in the traditional way. But the reader must not despair, because this is a sad story, but one of great compassion and hope, as in everything in his life, but only traveled along anotherPath of what they thought it would take.

The gift of appreciation of the good things and miracles in his life is often just a way of pain and despair. The ability to tackle its problems to find answers and forgiveness are often achieved after a lot of understanding. Vanli woman discovers that by the grace of God and his love in his life, he finds himself to be a better person and stronger than they ever dreamed of being.

Womentells stories of his childhood, which was a lot about the adults they are told. Often, their humor is reflected in these stories, as they shared not only the short horror of sexual abuse, but also the many stories of love and good times and enjoy their family when she was born and raised in a simple life remembered Ohio. When he met and fell in love with Troy, the man who was then her husband, once again Donna does not know that I am not the normal marriage, she always dreamedabout.

It 'hard to see if both are healthy and happy and had so much love to give a child to tear your heart. If you're not disappointing people looking through the various steps that need to go get pregnant, suffering through miscarriages, using fertility drugs, doctors, exams and tests will appreciate more happy. Yet, a part of me says, "lived" is all she and Donna Troy went though and how it happened, that littleGrace, her first daughter was born, and finally in his life was almost envious of the joy in the final realization of this dream. The well-written words and descriptions contained in this document can rip your heart in one minute and the next tickle your funny bone. attain the joy and hope that the name of a child is Grace, and the journey of this blessing, to do what Donna Vanli find grace is a travel story exciting, warm and welcoming to a woman for mercy and peace in theirLife.

Review As an empire on an orange crate of Honest Ed Mirvish Build

I'm always interested in rags-to-riches stories of how people get to discover the personal and professional success.

They return to their communities? I would like to study them, as Napoleon Hill studied his advisor invisible. What kind of invisible mentors would? They are unique itemswe can learn by studying them?

I have never met Ed Mirvish, but I participated in theatrical performances at his theater - The Lion King, andSound music - and I ate at his restaurant. Every holiday season he was made of turkey, and many would be in line to get their Turkey. He also had special offers Crasher port and many customers have been open, save rain snake, or the sun for the Honest Ed This man returned to his community.

I went on a trip recently and photographed the companies that helped make very rich Ed. I created a little slide show for the sake of it.

Yes, Ed Mirvish was very happy, and admitted that in his autobiography, but it deserves much respect, and we can really learn from him. In the book you see these fearless, entrepreneurial, business-savvy manis ready to go against the grain. What he does often defies logic, and what we have learned - just go to a store that we know. He went to a restaurant and the theater company who knew nothing, and drew them.

And used this information to itsAdvantage. Since the girls had money to spend freely, and allowed to buy on credit, while other retailers only accept cash.

And sold contracts for the discounted fee Businesses Mutual. When the girls came in on Friday to make payments, said to them, but I did not care to have their payments, but theseallowed him to sell more if they saw all the new clothes.

Finally joined other retailers allow these girls to buy on credit, and Ed turned into money, because at that time the war was over, and many of these girls job no more, and probably would default on their payments - he had great foresight. The powerful lesson here is what happens looking at your environment, and "the devil is in the details."

Stolen Fields by Jean Boggio - Book Review

Colerith Press (2008)
ISBN 9780979933042

"Fields stolen" is a story of the American Dream gone wrong. It 's a story of hatred, resentment, ambition and greed. There is also a story of "What If" and "If Only". What if expropriation had not taken ownership of Cole? If only Cole's grandfather was able to build his business thriving?

Jean tells of growing up as a descendant of a strong will and a family living Cole. In the early chapters gives the reader aUnderstanding of the historical and Coles hard working conditions and the economic success of fertile farm Neville Island near Pittsburgh. The Cole Farm Neville Iceland was known as a "market basket of Pittsburgh."

Jean Boggio consistently and equitably divided the two sides of a story. I was tied to the family, as I have heard stories shared by Jean cheerful gossip passed on from one generation to another, rather than reporting on two completely different perspectivesthe facts collected.

Between 1918 and 1919 towards the end of World War II was the U.S. government with a plan to rival the German plants, provided the ammunition for the German giant Krupp. Neville Iceland was chosen for the location of the project. Government officials have called the process of expropriation, the property for public use to take. The project had just begun when the armistice was signed. the country's government is no longer necessary. It 'was put onpublic auction.

The Cole family devastated by the loss of the house, was in the family for over a century ago, in an attempt to negotiate a fair market price instead. After the fear of harassment and arson, were forced to accept the price fixed by the government.

newspaper accounts of his family and the sources of historical research and their own memories courtesy Jean Boggio the material on behalf of this remarkable Iceland and the Coles of NevilleImpact of expropriation on the dreams of their parents, their children and, finally, to the generations that follow. Although there are feelings of hatred, bitterness and members of the Cole family, theirs is a journey that resonates with a sense of accomplishment, pride and promise.

This is a nice nostalgic trip back in time. Jean vivid descriptions draw the reader into the experience of being a part of his childhood farm in Sandy Lake. It has theamazing ability to transform everyday circumstances and events in an entertaining, often funny stories that resonate with simplicity, warmth and reality. Jean uses flashbacks of his childhood. It reveals details of his relationship with his sister, his parents, grandparents, Aunt Gladys, Uncle Robert, Uncle Ned, and their cousins. These colorful characters provide dramatic word pictures bringing an enthusiasm for life otherwise routine for the Coles of Neville Iceland.The family photos can be illustrated by the whole book for events. These pictures add another dimension and a sense of connection with the Cole family.

I particularly liked the opening Jean relations college and her first experiences in New York City. As an aspiring actress, was in tune with the culture beatnik. I appreciate your letter positive in the light of the love story gone wrong, gone amok family relationships and personal goals not achieved. Jean won a largeRange of experience working in offices in the field of education and, finally, in the medical field as a nurse.

Strong writing, thorough research and an objective look at the greed that often accompanies the process of expropriation "Stolen Fields" a significant contribution to the history and future of the restructuring process is often misunderstood and misused.

As a writer, memoir by Jean Boggio is a talented storyteller. Your vivid descriptions and characterizationsensure that the enjoyment of his writing still linger long after reading the last chapter. "Fields stolen" is a rich and enjoyable reading experience.

Book Review - Eat, Pray, Love

"There's a reason we refer to the" leap of faith "- because the decision of any notion of divinity, a mighty leap from the consent of the rational is unknowable, and I do not care how diligently scholars of every religion tries to share. Check with the stack of books and other written proof, their faith is rational, in fact, is not whether faith was rational, it is not - by definition faith -. "

Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth tells bits DetailedGilbert's sabbatical from their familiar world to one year of his life in travel and soul searching paid. Gilbert, the author is jumping out of the rules when their marriages end in divorce is decided to leave work and travel in three different countries to come to terms with himself.

Incidentally, these three countries all start with "I" - Italy, India and Indonesia. For four months in each country, Elizabeth tried to learn new things. In Italy she learned the joy of eatingand speak Italian. In India, they themselves become a meditation camp, where he found his own narrow definition of prayer. Finally, Indonesia has sought to strike a balance between the land and the divine.

How many of us could really make? If I can summarize this book in one word, I'd say it's all a matter of faith. And it is not only great faith in a transcendent being, but in my opinion, even more faith in himself against all forms of rationality.

I am foreverlooking for my God, I can trust and depend on. To my disappointment, I have a very passive traveler in this temporary world. So, is the main reason why I am totally taken from the book by Elizabeth Gilbert Eat, Pray, Love. You do not want to wait for all the great and dramatic changes in themselves instead changed their lives by small and rather boring first.

Elizabeth Gilbert has enchanted me with his story very open that I have only heard stories on the other hand feltreading. I loved his honesty as 23 pounds, because all the food in Italy played to their physical sex, not a dead end. Perhaps their only honesty of its strengths is that it has led to a very great change. After all, it all begins with the acceptance of uncertainty and concern.

By the way, Eat Pray Love is now a film. And 'being shown at this year's Julia Roberts.

Book Review - Never Surrender by LTG (Ret) William G Boykin

Ok, here's another good book that I just plowed in one day. I think I read that thing in about 7 hours with 368 pages. wow! So if this gives you an indication of how interesting this book was, so take note. My overall impression was that Boykin, a special operations hero who has sacrificed a lot for this country. And after all that he has and what he has lived at the end took a group of journalists who wanted to take a cheap shot at the Bush administration has screwed byBoykin and attacking his religious beliefs. And they succeeded.

Boys was a religious man, and that's what the media has decided with his dagger and twist-stick. Just because you wear a uniform does not mean that your right to religious freedom goes out the door. And guys have to be after I'm done with him as a crusader. And to take this hit piece of cyberspace, then all hell broke loose. He and his family were threatened by some Muslim extremists PagesIt 'been fired from his job in DC, and his good name was dragged through the mud.

Now I personally do not so religious. But I respect the religious convictions of a person are, and for some soldiers and contractors, is the belief in God, what is all day. I have no problem with that, but do not be pushed into the neck. But I must say that I am a believer in the concept that there is no such thing as an atheist in the trenches. God, and all forms of GodThe cult, it is through the times when there are no answers to the really bad situations and get down in life. As you read this book, you can see exactly how much life of faith Boykin as an operator and leader of Delta, and how ridiculous and wrong, the media had influenced their opinion of a man.

I do not want to give away the whole book, but I will give you a taste of some of the really cool stuff. Boykin was a member of the original group of young Delta. He was aVietnam veteran, Ranger, air, you name it, and it was in those early days of Charlie Beckwith (founder of Delta) trained. The book describes Boykin, as it was in those early days of the group and goes to some of the details and logic behind the selection process. (What I found very interesting)

As you progress through the book, he goes on with his life in the world Special Operations. He was involved with the mission of the hostages in Iran, Grenada, Operation JustCause and rescue of Kurt Muse, Somalia, hunting war criminals in Bosnia, Wacko and the Branch Davidian incident, hunting and Pablo Escobar. He also talks about his injuries, leaving behind a .50 cal around the arm and shrapnel of Grenada in Somalia. All the while, he remained faithful to his people, country and God

One last thing to bring only get an idea of the type of material in this book. Children often tells the true story behind all these great events of our recentThe story since Vietnam. Puts the rumors about the commitment idiot Wacko Delta and the death of Pablo Escobar is not alone. He goes into detail why they consider rock music actually used during Operation Just Cause / Noriega and the negotiations behind the scenes to save the Kurt Muse. He talks about how Mike Durrant (the pilot in Somalia, who was captured) to the face with the severed limb of one of his fallen comrades beaten by his captors. These are the kinds of data, you can expect fromthis book, and it was a page turner for me.

His insights and stories of significant influences from some of the people he met in bus stations,Yard, shelters for the homeless, the missions of the church and employment centers.

I understand Robert's open and honest approach in his feelings. He is vulnerable. His story is to create questions and lead you to seek the answers. His diaries are a model of family, friends, acquaintances and friends, challenging his atheism as he filled their Christian message in question. The book is for Christians and non Christians alike stimulating.

As Robert experienced the wonders of redeeming love of God, after twenty years of racing, he first gave to God and then to the authorities.

This is an extraordinary story of transformation. An angry atheist criminals was new to a man with a "compassion for the poor, love for people in need,Patience for the stupid and laughing with the innocent. "
