Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.
In this unique and readable study, Jon Finson views the mores and values of nineteenth-century Americans as they appear in their popular songs. The author sets forth lyricists' and composers' notions of courtship, technology, death, African Americans, Native Americans, and European ethnicity by grouping songs topically. He goes on to explore the interaction between musical style and lyrics within each topic. The lyrics and changing musical styles present a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century America. The composers discussed in the book range from Henry Russell ("Woodman, Spare That Tree"), Stephen Foster ("Oh! Susanna"), and Dan Emmett ("I Wish I Was in Dixie's Land"), to George M. Cohan and Maude Nugent ("Sweet Rosie O'Grady"), and Gussie Lord Davis ("In the Baggage Coach Ahead"). Readers will recognize songs like "Pop Goes the Weasel," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Fountain in the Park," "After the Ball," "A Bicycle Built for Two," and many others which gain significance by being placed in the larger context of American history.

What makes an ordinary man, husband, coach, or restaurant owner suddenly wake up one morning and wonder about God. David Stevens was just a regular guy making a living and providing for his wife and family and who loved to spend his weekends with friends having drinks, dancing, and sleeping in on Sunday morning. Dave figured he had plenty of time left to get things right, until the night he had the dream that made him realize that his life could end at any moment before he got things right with God. Daves search brought him to the realization that his life was not about Dave, but it was about God. Dave discovered that God had not just a plan for him but a calling on Daves life to go and tell people about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Dave went from just an ordinary man to an extraordinary man of God who preaches and teaches about the salvation we can all receive through Jesus Christ. Through the incredible teachings of Christ in the Bible and the testimonies of other godly men, Daves life was transformed from a man centered on what the world said was acceptable to a man who desired on what God said was acceptable. He met men and women whose lives had been changed because of their interaction with Christ through dreams, through life experiences, or through the revelation of Christ. Pastor Dave, as he is now known, shares his journey of coming to Christ through his own experience of meeting the Savior. As he was mentored by other men of God, Pastor Dave began to see the urgent need to share the love, mercy, and grace of surrendering ones life to Christ and sharing that message with his friends and family and finally to others. Minister Bonetta J. Hutson
