Free Download Gary Chapman, "Love is a Verb: Stories of What Happens When Love Comes Alive"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0764206745, 0764207601 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.5 mb
Dr. Gary Chapman has spent his life helping people communicate love more effectively and in turn build more satisfying and lasting relationships. His book The Five Love Languages is a regular on the New York Times bestsellers list-even after being in print for fifteen years-and has made the term "love language" a part of everyday speech. Love Is a Verb takes his teaching to the next level. Rather than a typical relationship self-help book filled with lengthy explanations of principles and techniques, it is a compilation of true stories displaying love in action. These stories-written by everyday people-go straight to the hearts of readers, who often say that illustrations are the most effective parts of a book. Gary Chapman adds a "Love Lesson" to each story, showing readers how they can apply the same principles to their own relationships.

Free Download John Halsted, "Legends and Stories from Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1909302902 | EPUB | pages: 202 | 2.2 mb
VINLAND, Claudia and Cabo de la Arenas have been but a few of the previous names given to Cape Cod. As far back as 985AD the Cape had been visited by the likes of Leif Eiriksson, although this is disputed, Giovanni da Verrazzano (1524AD), Estêvão Gomes (1525AD), Samuel de Champlain (1606AD), Bartholomew Gosnold (1602AD), Henry Hudson (1609AD) and Captain John Smith (1614AD). It was Gosnold who had the honor and privilege of being the final arbiter of the Cape’s name in 1602AD. With such a long history it is therefore not surprising that much has been written and said about Cape Cod. Herein readers will find 23 such stories, collected from various sources, with origins in Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod and Block Island. Stories like THE HEADLESS SKELETON OF SWAMPTOWN, THE CROW AND CAT OF HOPKINSHILL, THE OLD STONE MILL, THE WINDAM FROGS, MOODUS NOISES and many more. Appropriately, the book is commenced with a facsimile of THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT and ends with THE STORY OF KING PHILIP, Grand Sachem and Chief of the Wampanoag Tribe. MARTHA’S VINEYARD, called "Noepe" by the Native Americans, which in their picturesque language means "In the Midst of the Sea," is the largest island on the south-eastern coast of Massachusetts. However, there are those who correctly point out that there is no such place as Martha’s Vineyard, except in geography and common speech. That it’s correct name is Martin Wyngaard’s Island, so was named by Skipper Block, an Albany Dutchman. Sea fog is not uncommon in the area. When a fog started rising the Native Americans would say, "Here comes old Maushope’s smoke"-but you will have to read the book to find out just why they say this.
