This book covers photography from a minimalist perspective, proving that it is possible to take very good photographs with relatively cheap equipment. The minimalist process emphasizes the importance of first knowing what you want to achieve as a photographer and then choosing the most effective equipment, subject matter, and general approach to meet your goals. The minimalist photographer works with the idea that the brain and the eye are far more important than the camera. Author Steve Johnson begins by asking you, the reader, to look inward and make the connections between your nature and your photography. Why do you want to take photographs and what subject matter are you attracted to? What type of photographer are you now and what type of photographer would you like to become? These are important questions to consider when deciding what approach works best for you. In subsequent chapters, you'll learn about the equipment and workflow of a minimalist photographer as Johnson discusses the strengths and weaknesses of various types of cameras and explains why the biggest or most expensive piece of equipment is not always the best. He also addresses the importance of lighting and teaches you how to achieve effective lighting without spending a lot of money. Also included are discussions about aesthetics and composition, as well as a brief history of photography and the future of the art form.

I am telling my story. You're holding the first of three planned memoirs covering three roughly 25-year portions of my life. Everyone has a story. Everyone has something to share and something to teach. I'll admit I'm not famous. I have not set records, cured diseases, or helped establish a country. I'm just an ordinary guy who loves God, raised a family, traveled around the world, and has tried, with mixed results, to live a Christian life.There's nothing wrong with living an honorable life and leaving behind another name and set of dates in a long line of family history. I hope to leave something more.This is my story.

London 1939. With a global conflict on the horizon, 19-year-old waitress, Charlotte Reid meets 21-year-old fighter pilot Tom Hammond. They soon realise that they have something special and after a short engagement, they marry, just after war with Germany is declared. The fall of France puts the Luftwaffe within striking range, and Tom in the thick of the action during the Battle of Britain. Both he and his young wife are taken through every nerve-shredding emotion as the fight for air superiority intensifies. If the Germans achieve their goal of totally destroying the RAF, then invasion would be the likely outcome. With fighter pilot casualty rates so high will Tom Hammond be one of the lucky ones or will the future he has planned with Charlotte literally go up in smoke? If that were to happen, how would she cope with grief at such a young age? Could she cope? War asks some tough questions of love. Is it stronger than fear? Stronger than hate? Stronger than death even? As the bloodiest conflict in history got underway, millions of people, including Tom and Charlotte, didn't know the answers. But they were about to find out.

The true purpose of management is a mystery. As far as most American workers can tell, their primary function is making signs. The value of these signs to the continued operation and profitability of the company, much like the value of management itself, is unclear, but the signs themselves can be fascinating. Sometimes they're incomprehensibly bizarre, sometimes they provide insight into the almost alien attitudes that management has towards the rank-and-file employees, and sometimes they're unintentionally hilarious. Dispatches From The MGT.: Curious Signs from the American Workplace collects some of the strangest workplace signs from all across this great nation.

If your ancestors could speak to you, what godly advice would they share? Two decades ago, Steve Johnson began receiving old Bibles of deceased relatives. As family deaths mounted, so did his collection of these weathered heirlooms. One day he opened the Bibles and uncovered page after page worn not just by time, but by notes recorded in the margins. He realized he had stumbled upon a treasure trove of accumulated family wisdom and insights on God's Word. Motivated by this discovery, he went searching for notes from 15 family Bibles spanning 5 generations and nearly a century. The result: an inspiring 365-day devotional book like none other.

Long before psychotherapy many of the mental health issues were handled informally within families, in churches and synagogues, and through reading and meditating on the wisdom found in great literature. The poetry of Emily Dickinson is filled with wisdom in so many different areas of life-nature, death, love, faith, the self, and emotions. Her poetry deeply touches the soul in its terse verses that contain so much wisdom packed into few words. It is therapy in verse and can help move each of us beyond our self-defeating thoughts and unhealthy emotions to a place of peace amid life's problems, even the gnawing questions about eternity. I had originally hoped to have one snippet of poetry for each of the fifty-three weeks in a year, but the final count was just shy. I chose only to select those short verses that jumped out at me with their significance. It is not that other verses weren't powerful, but they didn't move me in the same ways these verses did. I hope you find the wisdom of Emily Dickinson as contained in these snippets relevant to your life such that you will want to share them and discuss them with others, who like you have a desire to live the deep life.

Tired of that sore, scratchy throat? Wondering what you can do? Over the years I've collected old home remedy recipes and books listing what helps make a sore throat feel better. Some of these books list dangerous ingredients that are now banned from use. I've carefully edited out mentions of home remedies that appear to contain toxic ingredients. With this book you get 26 natural concoctions that can be made from basic foods and cooking items found in every kitchen - natural treatments made from natural ingredients. Some organic ingredients will only be found at a health food store. Like I mentioned above, some ingredients will be found in your garage or at the hardware store, so you have to take care when using these items or you'll do more harm to your health than good. If you want to learn vintage natural treatments and find out how to ease the pain of a sore throat, I've included these recipes too. Although many sore throat irritations are treated with simple remedies that you'll find in this book, if you suffer chronic sore throat pain always remember to seek out professional healthcare treatments from a trusted family physician if your sore throat persists after trying home treatments, especially if it lasts 7 days.

The outdoors inspires. Being Out There lends itself to creation, exploration, discovery, and sometime just the plain ol' accidental fun of getting lost in the woods and finding a whole new world. Never is this more evident and influential than to the curious and tireless mind of a kid. This book series celebrates those carefree moments in a fun and engaging presentation, with brother and sister main characters embarking on an adventure into a host of outdoor locales of different personalities, like a northern bog forest, high alpine mountains, coastal rainforest, or desert. Along the way they meet resident critters or perhaps a wise and storied local resident, and the kids learn about different habitats, life highlights of wildlife, the ins and outs of area flora, and much more. The story actively engages young readers with a tale of exploration and unique ways to learn and experience the place they're in, and the kids' own place within it all. A 'What We Learned' page closes the story, with some key moments and terms, and their definitions, readers might not have known before, along with some that stretch their knowledge base just enough to motivate them to discover the answers. This book invites and encourages kids to get out there and see the world around them, and provides an entertaining and effective approach to learning about what's right out the door.

You know all about Son House and Muddy Waters, but have you ever heard of Eraserhead Morgan? Lester "Proudfoot" Jackson? Hootin' Jack Wilson? Probably not, because technically they never existed. The fact that they're imaginary does not mean that their stories aren't worth sharing. Obscure Early Bluesmen (Who Never Existed) helps to fill in the gaps left by music historians who refuse to acknowledge the important role played by fictional performers. Inside this book, you'll find accounts of seventeen entertainers who, had they existed, may very well have had some impact on modern music.

Alone and brain-addled, the Rev. Ezra Pounders walks along a country road in the dead of night. He's wearing dark clothing, but he's confident the Lord will protect him. Two seconds later, a fast-moving pickup truck tops the hill and knocks him ten feet into the air. On his death bed, Preacher Pounders wrestles with one gnawing regret. He never preached one last sermon. The one he really wanted to preach - but the one that would have cost his job. The one that would shake religion's foundation to its core - but the one the world deserves to hear. Now his all-important message may die with him. His only hope of keeping it alive is the coon hunter who ran over him. Guilt-ridden and holding a bedside vigil, Kelby Merak has the means to reach people. He's an outdoor sales rep and a part-time newspaper columnist - gifted with as much raw writing talent as the scribes of old. Time's running out to recruit him, as Brother Ezra slips in and out of consciousness and draws what could be his last few breaths. What exactly is in The Last Sermon and why is it so important that Kelby pass the message along to the unsuspecting masses? Scroll up and find out now with just one click.

You may know all the famous barbecue joints of Kansas City and Memphis, but have you ever visited Amoral Abattoir? Pork By the Pound? UnderArby's? Have you ever sampled the decadent delicacy known as the Bar-B-Cone? No, you haven't, because technically they don't exist; but no matter, because this guidebook will tell you everything you need to know about them, and other absurd, esoteric, and idiosyncratic barbecue joints across this great nation. Steve Johnson (Obscure Early Bluesmen Who Never Existed, So You've Decided To Run a Role-Playing Game) and Leighton Connor (The Rosamund Trap, The Flaxman's Anomaly) have joined forces to lovingly craft this travelogue of imaginary barbecue joints that is frequently hilarious, usually dumb, and always entertaining.

This book is the first in a series on REBT and Christian growth. This particular volume sets forth a simple but effective model for helping many Christians overcome obstacles to spiritual growth. It is appropriate for secular counselors who treat Christian clients, Christian counselors, clergy, and lay leaders who offer spiritual support and care for fellow believers. Individual Christians may also find it helpful for their own spiritual growth. The book is not just theoretical, but offers simple, straightforward, but effective steps for spiritual growth. It helps individuals use traditional Christian resources, such as prayer, scripture, fasting, and a Christian form of meditation informed by a powerful counseling model that is evidence-based and has thousands of studies demonstrating its effectiveness for a wide array of life problems. For a counseling model to be useful for Christians, it must be thoroughly consistent with scripture and be proven to work in one's actual spiritual life, not just in a research setting. We trust that this model passes both these tests. [This book combined with another book entitled, Dynamic Prayer to Heal Your Deeply Painful Emotions and Reach Your Spiritual Goals, is available in print version under the title, Counseling Christians for Mental, Emotional, Behavioral, and Spiritual Health.]

This is an exciting story of a Japanese war criminal in Singapore in 1942, and a fictional Dutch family in Palembang, whose lives intertwine over the years.This book asks many questions and suggests some answers about JFK's assassination in Dallas and Whitlam's dismissal in Australia.How did the CIA manipulate history from the Congo to Cuba and beyond?What if the bullet that changed history in Dallas had missed its target?What's the real story behind the 'dismissal' of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam? If Australian Governor-General Sir John Kerr had not been "our man" as the CIA claimed he was, would the Canberra conspiracy have escalated to assassination as it had in Dallas?"Remember, the facts are not the truth. They only indicate where the truth may lie." C. W. BarronGripping historical fiction based on the real life exploits of a Japanese war criminal, Masanobu Tsuji and his involvement with a Dutch family. Known as the God of Operations, Tsuji headed the Japanese army's charge down the Malay Peninsula to take Singapore in February 1942. Tsuji later worked with the MacArthur administration in post war Japan and became a successful politician. Tsuji's history combines with that of the CIA in its early days. The immense power of the Dulles Brothers, Secretary of State, John Foster and CIA Director Allen, enabled them to carry out covert operations in many countries. Many activities were funded by loot often referred to as "Yamashita's gold", plundered by the Japanese from the countries they invaded before and during World War II. The fictional Dutch van der Laan family lived in Palembang and Luuk ran the main oil refinery producing aviation gasoline which the Japanese desperately needed. His resistance made him a marked man and he had to arrange for his family to escape without him.Luuk's wife, Mila, and two children Pieter and Anouk landed via flying boat in Broome, Western Australia in 1942. Not knowing what happened to Luuk, Mila, Anouk and Pieter begin anew. How the family coped with the dislocation and upheaval of life as the world "resettled" and decolonized is graphically illustrated. Eventually Mila remarries and later becomes a Labor backbencher and works hard as a socialist and feminist in "white Australia" during the 1950s and 60's. Luuk's son Pieter serves in the Australian Navy then flies for Air America in the "secret war" in Laos. After meeting Li, a beautiful Singaporean Chinese girl, Pieter discovers his father's fate was the same as her father's. Pieter pursues Tsuji knowing he is responsible for what happened to Luuk. Tsuji, hailed a war hero in Japan and now a successful politician, is involved with the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) and the CIA and travels often to the Golden Triangle. On the trail of Tsuji, Pieter and Li arrive in Dallas in November 1963. The book discovers the real motives for JFK's assassination and the conspirators behind it and offers an alternative ending.The reader will find out how the Queen of Australia and her Governor General, along with MI6, the CIA and others conspired to bring about the removal of the elected Prime Minister in 1975. This 'dismissal' is given an alternative scenario in Steve Johnson's story.Historical fiction or feel good fantasy? You be the judge!
