What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls--is it Nic? the police? the hospital? His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every treatment that might save his son. And he refused to give up on Nic.
"Filled with compelling anecdotes and important insights . . . An eye-opening memoir." -- Washington Post

Did you know that the Sun and the Moon appear the same size in the sky? That's because the Sun is 400 times bigger than the Moon, but also 400 times farther away. It's been called "the great coincidence," but is it really just coincidence? Learn secrets of the Sun and Moon, and get a front-row seat as they line up to show us the amazing eclipse miracle For all ages with 8 page science section. Here's a review from one of the premier eclipse experts in America:
"A wonderful book by Sand Sheff, with great scientific and spiritual content for all ages and backgrounds (with the very] occasional Bible verse being quoted alongside academic references). The message is powerful, the story is great, the science is 100% accurate, and the author has done a masterful job of mixing the scientific facts with the wonderment and special nature of total eclipses. The book is educational, enlightening, and uplifting in a way that is difficult to explain to someone who sees only the mathematics of the event. HIGHLY recommended ---Dan McGlaun Eclipse 2017.org
Eclipse Miracle takes the reader on a trip through the solar system and across the planet to offer inspirational and informative lessons about the sun, moon earth and the phenomenon of solar eclipses.
There is an amazing, yet not widely known, cosmic arrangement visible from Earth. The Sun and the Moon appear the same size in the sky.This occurs because the Sun is both 400 times bigger than the Moon and also 400 times further away This is why we can have perfect solar eclipses like we do. Literally, the moon goes in front of the sun and covers it perfectly. People become excited when they reflect upon this truth, and children really think it's cool. The book credits God for this, but in a non-denominational inclusive way. It also has an 8 page science section in the back which older kids and adults like.
What makes this book different:
Eclipse Miracle focuses on the amazing truth of the sun/moon alignment.
The book is colorful and not dated "2017." It's message and story will continue to be fun and relevant after the eclipse.

Описание: What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3 A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help.
