Life is getting harder and more stressful every day. Everywhere we look, we see anger, pain, poverty, and sorrow. We wonder how we are going to make ends meet. People are facing unemployment or working two or even three jobs just to keep their heads above water. I have walked these paths of heartaches, and through my trials, I have learned how to find joy, peace, and contentment even in my darkest hours. In these pages, I have sought to impart the wisdom and insight that I have gained through faith in God as I have overcome many of the trials that we all face in our lives. I hope to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and walk of the water of faith. My goal is to help you identify the sharks that threaten to devour you and keep you from the victory that God has planned for you if you will just step out on that water.

The book is a tool of encouragement to help the reader get over their fear of anything. Based on 2 Timothy 1:7, the book helps you understand that the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, and therefore you can take control of your life.

A group of traders huddles around a pile of dried shark fins on a gleaming white floor in Hong Kong. A Papua New Guinean elder shoves off in his hand-carved canoe, ready to summon a shark with ancient magic. A scientist finds a rare shark in Indonesia and forges a deal with villagers so it and other species can survive. In this eye-opening adventure that spans the globe, Juliet Eilperin investigates the fascinating ways different individuals and cultures relate to the ocean’s top predator. Along the way, she reminds us why, after millions of years, sharks remain among nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures. From Belize to South Africa, from Shanghai to Bimini, we see that sharks are still the object of an obsession that may eventually lead to their extinction. This is why movie stars and professional athletes go shark hunting in Miami and why shark’s fin soup remains a coveted status symbol in China. Yet we also see glimpses of how people and sharks can exist alongside one another: surfers tolerating their presence off Cape Town and ecotourists swimming with sharks that locals in the Yucatán no longer have to hunt. With a reporter’s instinct for a good story and a scientist’s curiosity, Eilperin offers us an up-close understanding of these extraordinary, mysterious creatures in the most entertaining and illuminating shark encounter you’re likely to find outside a steel cage.

Practice Makes Perfect. Scratch That... Practice Makes Permanent —Especially for your Kid. Kids are like a blank space, an empty Microsoft Word document with a blinking cursor. They are waiting for you to write something, to steer the course. They look at what you do, the way you speak —even how you treat the dog. And whatever they learn from you and practice often is going to shape the rest of their lives. They observe and practice a lot of things. At this stage, the blank space is getting filled up with lessons they learned every day, whether good or bad, they become their character, their habit. That is why it's tough to get your kid to stop sucking at his/her thumbs if he or she does it very often.
