The cover states: ‘ "Those were amongst the happiest days of our childhood. We were in a different world, a world where life moved at a slower pace, where the worries of today had not even been imagined. I was sad to leave what I considered to be my real home, the place of my birth, rich with nostalgia and where making the best of a tough and meagre existence was commonplace."
A childhood holiday inspires an exploration into the family history of a ten year old Irish girl. Tales of peculiar neighbours; exploring a deserted cottage; visiting Grandad at work on the Donegal turf moors; ghost stories; turn of the century life in the Inishowen homestead; grasping family members; inoculation; emigrating on the 'Cattle Boat' to 'no dogs, no Irish, no children; lodgings in England; the Irish workmen in England; living in a Halfway house; 1950s convalescence; a convent education and performing in a bagpipe band. This is the true story of a young family's separation from their homeland, precipitated by years of homelessness as they moved between relatives in Donegal and Derry before finally settling in England. Rich in symbolism, the theme is one of a deeply poignant yet often comical perspective of an uncertain Irish childhood against a background of chronic despair yet dogged hope, seen through the eyes of a cheerfully resilient spirited child.'
Publisher’s comment: ‘As Good As I Got is truly a delightfully original tale with a very wide appeal. Candidly told through the eyes of a child, realistically and with naпve humour, it is an easy read. The book lays bare the difficulties faced by a troubled young family whose destiny changed when their original aspirations to make a life in England were dashed with the break out of World War 2. Family history is explored and olden times in Ireland are remembered together with the catholicism of the time. The eccentricities of the many Irish characters are recounted hilariously and an undercurrent of the pursuit of peace in Ireland is symbolised by the challenges faced by a child as she makes post-war England her home. This is a touching, highly moving, sad, funny, highly entertaining story - a perfect gift for friends and family with an interest in historical Irish culture dating from the nineteen century to 1950s England. Cleverly written, each chapter easily stands alone as a short story. Rich in detail, you will be captivated by this book and will want to read it over and over again. Maureen Lafferty really knows how to tell a good Irish story.

Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer, so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits.
The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed.
Holiness is wholeness, and so God wants holy men, men whole-hearted and true, for His service and for the work of praying. .And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. These are the sort of men God wants for leaders of the hosts of Israel, and these are the kind out of which the praying class is formed.
Man is a trinity in one, and yet man is neither a trinity nor a dual creature when he prays, but a unit. Man is one in all the essentials and acts and attitudes of piety. Soul, spirit and body are to unite in all things pertaining to life and godliness.
The body, first of all, engages in prayer, since it assumes the praying attitude in prayer. Prostration of the body becomes us in praying as well as prostration of the soul. The attitude of the body counts much in prayer, although it is true that the heart may be haughty and lifted up, and the mind listless and wandering, and the praying a mere form, even while the knees are bent in prayer.
Daniel knelt upon his knees three times a day in prayer. Solomon knelt in prayer at the dedication of the temple. Our Lord in Gethsemane prostrated Himself in that memorable season of praying just before His betrayal. Where there is earnest and faithful praying the body always takes on the form most suited to the state of the soul at the time. The body, that far, joins the soul in praying.

A complete A - Z guide to 78 of the most commonly used sport supplements with scientific evaluation of effectiveness and safety by an expert medical doctor.
Essential reading for sports people and bodybuilders.
Have you ever wondered how top professional bodybuilders, fitness models and athletes achieve such remarkable results which always seem to elude the rest of us?
Even those professionals who don't use illegal drugs or other such aids to their amazing results seem to have some crucial advantage over 99% of other people who spend hours in the gym and hundreds of dollars on useless supplement after useless supplement.
The secret of their "unfair advantage" is simply knowledge. They have professional trainers, nutritionists and sports doctors with access to scientific research the general public just doesn't hear about. And if not they know someone who does.
These people work in a closely guarded circle of insiders and they don't give out their professional secrets easily because their income depends on it. Put simply they know what works and what doesn't.
For the first time Dr. Peter Griffiths makes this crucial insider information available to the general public. This is like having your own personal doctor to give you a science based opinion on the effectiveness of any supplement before you part with your cash.
If you haven't had the results you wanted in the past perhaps you've already started to realise how much this book could help you. Find out the best anabolic supplements, the best fat loss supplements, which supplements do both, supplements for endurance, what really works for liver protection, testosterone boosters – which ones work and which ones don’t, growth hormone boosters evaluated, the real evidence for herbal diuretics, the evidence for adaptogens, are anti-estrogen supplements effective?.
Professional level supplement information based on three years of research and with nearly 700 fully referenced scientific studies gives you the knowledge you need to get your own “unfair advantage”.

It's not surprising that the more one gets to know George Gipp, the less like a hero he seems. A high school drop-out, he spent much of his time at Notre Dame cutting class, playing semi-pro ball under assumed names, hustling pool, and engaging in high-stakes gambling. Cavanaugh organizes his research well and says what he can about Gipp's personal life, but rightly focuses on the young man's astounding athleticism. Nearly a century on, Gipp still holds the Notre Dame record for most yards per carry in a season, most career total yards for a non-quarterback, and the longest field goal; he never allowed a pass to be completed to the man he was covering (though as teams tended to have few passes per game in those days, this is less impressive than it might seem), and is regarded by most historians as the school's best all-around player. His death in 1920 at the age of 25 (having never completely recovered from the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918) leaves Cavanaugh to fill out his effort with stories of Coach Rockne and Notre Dame's colorful early football days, all placed into the larger context of a country dealing with great tragedies.

The Marley surname perpetuates Jamaican royalty, resonates from worldwide recognition and represents the pioneer of a cultural, political and social revolution.
In the near-thirty years since the death of the world's greatest reggae-music icon, music lovers, truth seekers, and a new generation of social-activists alike have flocked to the musical catalog of Bob Marley like new believers on a pilgrimage for soul inspiration. Though Marley's iconic life was cut short before his time, his legacy lives on as vibrantly as it did when he walked among us. This is not only true because of his timeless music, but because of the musical genius of the extraordinary children he left behind.
Born in Falmouth, Jamaica in 1976 as the tenth son of legendary reggae icon Bob Marley, Ky-Mani Marley discovered his musical talents late in life, rising to become an international music artist and film actor. Ky-Mani has not only written and performed songs of redemption around the world, like his famous father, but has lived and survived to recant his own personally redemptive story in the face of some very stark urban realities unbefitting any human, let alone a 'Marley.'
Dear Dad, is an arresting narrative of a son locked out of his iconic father's shelter for the first half of his life and forced to survive the poverty-stricken, predator-infested streets of one of Miami's most violent ghettos, Liberty City. Initially estranged from his siblings and cut off from any financial benefit of the Marley Estate, young Ky-Mani's gritty ascent from a bullet-riddled life to the world stages he now commands as a Grammy-nominated recording artist are chronicled in this gripping biography.
Today a dedicated father and family man traveling to all corners of the world, performing no less than 100 shows per year, Marley knew he№d reached a plateau of transformation in his life when he was named 'Philanthropist of the Year' by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Better World Awards.
His life is truly a 'redemption song.'

There are few more exciting or inspiring events in history than the American
Revolution. In this fascinating volume, you'll read about the events leading up
to the Revolution in General Washington's own journals. You'll discover Benjamin
Franklin's plan for the Union, accounts of great battles by Washington and other
generals, Washington's correspondence with Lafayette, contemporary accounts of
the Boston Tea Party, Benedict Arnold's treachery and more. What could surpass
Thomas Jefferson's own story of writing the Declaration of Independence, or the
intimate personal letters of John Adams telling how he maneuvred Jefferson into
writing it? Or Daniel Boone's own account of his migration to Kentucky, Paul
Revere's own story of his midnight ride, General Cornwallis's account of the
Battle of Yorktown? There are accounts here from American, British and French
sources, for you to weigh up and reach your own conclusions, based on the best
original sources, about these epoch-making events.
Introduction To The Series
"After you've heard two eyewitness accounts of an auto accident, you begin to
worry about history." This observation, attributed to the comedian Henny
Youngman, summarizes the dilemma you face when you want to find out what really
happened in the past. When you read a history book, the "facts" are actually the
author's own interpretation, often colored by a conscious or unconscious wish to
have you share a particular point of view. You're one step (or many steps)
removed from the original source material.
That's why the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States compiled this 12-
volume collection of writings of people who actually witnessed the key events in
American history - the actual actors in the events or contemporary observers of
them. Past historians have spent decades locating, studying and consulting vast
amounts of material such as this. This meticulously chosen selection brings you
the essence of history as originally recorded by those who participated in it.
You'll be reading mostly eye-witness accounts, by people contemporary with the
events they describe, including many significant historical figures themselves.
So you can make your own assessments, draw your own conclusions and gain an
understanding of past events undistorted by the prejudices, assumptions and
selectivity of professional historians. In some instances where there aren't
reliable or easily accessible eye-witness accounts, the compilers have chosen
extracts from objective, authoritative historians of past generations such as
Francis Parkman whose judgements have stood the test of time.
The extracts chosen aren't dry as dust: they provide an exciting, highly
readable narrative from the living past. They're part of the primary source
material on which all historical research is based - and these e-books bring
this original, classic reporting to you directly. Through these accounts, your
knowledge of American history will be immeasurably greater, your understanding
of the key events in the building of the nation immensely increased.
Founded in 1899, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) is a
nonprofit organization dedicated to foster camaderie among United States
veterans of overseas conflicts, from the Spanish-American War to Iraq and
Afghanistan, and to ensure that they receive due respect and entitlements for
the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of the nation. With
this mission, the VFW has a natural desire to encourage a broad understanding
and appreciation of American history, and this essential collection of
historical documents makes a huge contribution to that aim.
This reissue was scanned, formatted and converted to e-book format by
Library4Science.com with the permission and encouragement of the VFW, to make
the series more accessible to a wider public. The VFW receives 50% of all
