Hi, readers. I am Tony “the Tiger” Green. I have written this book, Pick Up Your Own Damn Crutch, for several reasons. It helps me work out mentally, the trials I have been through, allowing me to put in perspective regarding my life. There have been many good times in my life, and humorous times. I also hope my story will help others deal with their life trials, whether it is surgery/pain, mental illness/depression, or relationship/loneliness. I have always said, “Everyone is different, but we all have our strengths”. Respecting yourself is very important. Life can be more joyous if you respect others for who they are and care for their needs. This will always make you feel better about yourself. I believe God, our Creator, put each one of us here to write our own story. We are here in this wonderful world God had given us. We need to appreciate all and take care of the gifts that we have family, friends, and our environment and help lift those who are less fortunate. You might wonder how I named this book. It starts with a trip to McDonald’s with Mom and her best friend Lani Collins. I was 7 years old. Mom and Papa were always telling me to be careful and take care of my things. They would say don’t depend on someone to help you! They were a lot of old people who were there eating too and they kept watching us. When we were eating, Mom told me again to be careful with my crutches and don’t let them fall. After we ate and it was time to go, Mom told me again to get my crutches. When Mom and Lani reached the door, they looked back to make sure I was coming. As they looked, I dropped my crutches and said “Mom”! She yelled loud and everyone heard her say “Pick Up Your Own Damn Crutch!” All the people were shocked and Lani ran out the door because she was embarrassed. Ha ha ha! It has always been one of my favorite stories. I laugh about all the time with my family.

In his major investigation into the nature of humans, Peter Sloterdijk presents a critique of myth - the myth of the return of religion. For it is not religion that is returning; rather, there is something else quite profound that is taking on increasing significance in the present: the human as a practising, training being, one that creates itself through exercises and thereby transcends itself. Rainer Maria Rilke formulated the drive towards such self-training in the early twentieth century in the imperative 'You must change your life'. In making his case for the expansion of the practice zone for individuals and for society as a whole, Sloterdijk develops a fundamental and fundamentally new anthropology. The core of his science of the human being is an insight into the self-formation of all things human. The activity of both individuals and collectives constantly comes back to affect them: work affects the worker, communication the communicator, feelings the feeler. It is those humans who engage expressly in practice that embody this mode of existence most clearly: farmers, workers, warriors, writers, yogis, rhetoricians, musicians or models. By examining their training plans and peak performances, this book offers a panorama of exercises that are necessary to be, and remain, a human being.
Severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering as a boy why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act. He went on to serve as Chairman of the Disability Rights Commission and became a founding commissioner of the subsequent Equality and Human Rights Commission. His extraordinary achievements were recognised by the award of an OBE, then a CBE and finally, in 2007, a knighthood. This is his remarkable and engaging story, completed by his wife Maureen and friends after his death in October 2017.

The definition of success varies widely from person to person and is often influenced by one’s goals, dreams, experiences, and stage in life. Anyone considered to be a public success has survived personal attacks, sabotage, hardships, and disappointments. Nevertheless, neither their survival nor success would be noteworthy apart from the lessons they learned along the way. This book is not intended to be a self-help guide that dictates a prearranged series of steps to success. Rather, by drawing insights from the life of David (who began as a humble shepherd boy and became the most celebrated king in the history of Israel), “Giant Lessons From David” seeks to help you manage your own journey of success. To that end, this book makes a few fundamental presuppositions. First, success is a journey that always entails enemies, experiences, and emotions that must be managed. Second, success is influenced by the providential favor of God. Third, there are valuable lessons to be learned about God, life, and self at every stage of the journey. Practical, uplifting, and relatable, this biblically based book of “Giant Lessons” from the life of David is a must-read for anyone looking to manage the highs and lows of a successful life.
The topic of the book is the focus on rights, which has spread like wildfire above all in the western part of the world since the Second World War and the impact this way of thinking has had on how we see our fellow human beings. The author sees rights focused thinking and neighborly love as opposites and does not think that the two are compatible. They are mutually exclusive. In other words a different way of thinking is called for, and this applies to all the things that we human beings feel we are entitled to and claim, starting with The Declaration of Human Rights and continuing to the right to a roof over one’s head; throughout the chapters of the book the author argues that we human beings do not have any rights at all, and how we instead have to take a closer look at the parts of rights focused thinking that might be justified. What is the interface of human rights and compassion? The various topics are introduced to the reader by a fairytale or a story, which is meant to make the reader reflect on the problem before meeting the author’s point of view the same way Jesus made his followers think about a problem by means of parables. What is a human right? How can we tell whether a proposed human right is really one? How do we establish the content of particular human rights and how do we prevent such rights from harming human relations? These are questions that the author tries to answer.
The author demonstrates to the layperson how he uses various means to advance his own spiritual growth. The means are available to everyone. It is not exhaustive and includes: systematic Bible study, recording quotes from gifted Christian authors' works, exploring contemporary and theological topics with Christian ministries, and keeping a spiritual journal. The author makes the point that although he had been an ardent churchgoer for years and involved in many religious activities, he had never experienced a genuine conversion until his heart was regenerated by the Holy Spirit. By documenting this turning point of his spiritual journey, he stressed that it is crucial for one to ask God to bring about an authentic change in one's life. Given that he had to juggle supporting a family, keeping a job, and finding time for spiritual devotion, he also shows his readers that by recording his day-to-day experiences one can discover how God works in one's life. He then uses such recordings to measure his spiritual progress""steps as well as "missteps"""and place them in a grid framed by the word of God.
