Book Description
Semi Serious invites you along for the ride as the author recounts the sudden change in direction that her life took, from teaching middle school to getting behind the wheel of an eighteen-wheeler. She opens up about the initial decision, training, and challenging rookie year in the first few chapters and incorporates Bible verses and some of her personal poems throughout. After gaining experience and a certain level of comfort, more attention could be paid to the freedom and adventure of the open road, the sights of nature, and encounters with people she would otherwise never have met. As the pages keep turning, the journey evolves from highway miles to a spiritual journey that may surprise you as much as it did the author. While not included in the list of employee benefits, the solitude and vast time for reflection and connection with God prove to be one of the best perks of trucking. Semi Serious seems like a unique experience, but perhaps not. Setting aside the specifics, the courage to “Step out in faith” has guided countless people to act on God’s inspiration and find priceless rewards. Semi Serious is for those at every stage of their own spiritual journey, since there are as many different roads to faith as there are people in this world. “Semi Serious is one woman’s journey of stepping outside of the box while climbing into the cab of a big rig and always holding the hand of God. Thought provoking and insightful, this compilation of stories and poems is for anyone contemplating a new route in their faith journey. With humor and an attention to detail, Char Stone candidly shares God’s guidance in her life as she travels, literally, the highways of life!” —Jean S. Graff, MS, NCC, LCPC

How About Never—Is Never Good for You?
Author: Bob Mankoff
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0805095918
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
Memoir in cartoons by the longtime cartoon editor of The New Yorker People tell Bob Mankoff that as the cartoon editor of The New Yorker he has the best job in the world. Never one to beat around the bush, he explains to us, in the opening of this singular, delightfully eccentric book, that because he is also a cartoonist at the magazine he actually has two of the best jobs in the world. With the help of myriad images and his funniest, most beloved cartoons, he traces his love of the craft all the way back to his childhood, when he started doing funny drawings at the age of eight. After meeting his mother, we follow his unlikely stints as a high-school basketball star, draft dodger, and sociology grad student. Though Mankoff abandoned the study of psychology in the seventies to become a cartoonist, he recently realized that the field he abandoned could help him better understand the field he was in, and here he takes up the psychology of cartooning, analyzing why some cartoons make us laugh and others don't. He allows us into the hallowed halls of The New Yorker to show us the soup-to-nuts process of cartoon creation, giving us a detailed look not only at his own work, but that of the other talented cartoonists who keep us laughing week after week. For desert, he reveals the secrets to winning the magazine's caption contest. Throughout How About Never--Is Never Good for You?, we see his commitment to the motto "Anything worth saying is worth saying funny."
