Samuel M. Shoemaker (Author), Carl Palmieri (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 16, 2009

An early Sam Shoemaker book originally published in the 1920s, Children of the Second Birth is filled with stories of men and women who had their lives changed by turning to God; stories of people who, under the guidance of Sam, utilized the Oxford Group principles and found miracles. These men and women came from the depths of desperation and despair to places of happiness and joy. The touching journeys that they went through gave others the hope that they too could have a new life filled with peace and serenity. People today can achieve the same results as the people mentioned in this book. All that is required is to follow what they did. May these true-life accounts help you or your loved ones find the Happiness of God.

About the Author

Carl "Tuchy" Palmieri was born in 1942 in an old mansion belonging to the former mill owner of the factory where his father worked. His family was one of six related families that occupied the mansion. The second son of Italian immigrants, Carl grew up in Westport, Connecticut. After receiving a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Bridgeport he began his career marketing and installing accounting computers for the Burroughs Corporation. Twenty-one years later, in 1987, he started his own computer business. Carl is also the author of a series of self-help books. Today Carl lives with his wife, Susan, in Fairfield, Connecticut. He has three children, two stepchildren, and 12 grandchildren. His nickname, Tuchy, comes from having been one of three Carls in his family. There was a "Big Carl," a "Carl the Twin," and "Carluch," which meant "Little Carl." "Carluch" evolved into "Carlatuch," "Tuch," and finally, "Tuchy."

This review is from: Children Of The Second Birth: What We Used to Be Like, What Happened, and What We Are Like Now (Paperback)

I would like to thank Tuchy Palmieri and Healing-habits.com for finding and republishing Children of the Second Birth by S. M Shoemaker Jr. Since Mr. Shoemaker had originally written and compiled this book it had gone out of print and without this republishing would not be readily available for us to read today. Children of the Second Birth is a collection of 18 testimonials/ histories of how ordinary people have been transformed by bringing Christ into their lives. It also shows us how these changed lives affect and change others lives. Many of these people were good church going people to start out with but had not received the fullness of giving themselves to Christ. The book is easy to read and for those with short time spans available for reading each chapter is a complete story unto itself. Although the book was written back in the 1920's the stories are still relevant and touching today. I hope many more will read and be inspired by this book for years to come.

Carl Tuchy Palmieri has republished a wonderful book of inspiring stories. The stories are based on people looking for something in their lives but are not quite sure what it is, until "it" happens. They are born again in Christ and suddenly things make more sense. The stories are very uplifting, and give the reader a sense of hope that things can get better, and that God will never burden you with more than you can handle. I found this book very inspiring and recommend it to anyone who needs a feel good book to read.

Children of the Second Birth is a book about faith and how God can turn peoples lives around if you have faith. Each chapter is a new uplifting story which will help you renew your relationship with God. Kudos to Palmieri for bring Mr. Shoemakers book out from obscurity and into the spotlight again!!
