Her curiosity led her to embark on an entire year of intensive research, observation, and writing about the milestones on the religious calendar. Whether in search of a roadmap for Jewish life or a challenging probe into the architecture of Jewish tradition, readers will be captivated, educated and inspired by Abigail Pogrebin’s My Jewish Year.

Book excerpt: A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special edition of The Templeton Twins Have an Idea: Book One also includes a sneak preview of The Templeton Twins Make a Scene: Book Two and a Q&A with the author. Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John and Abigail Templeton. Let's say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their father was a brilliant, if sometimes confused, inventor. And suppose that another set of twins—adults—named Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, kidnapped the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to turn over one of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, I said kidnapped. Wouldn't it be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Luckily for you, this is just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and funny (just like the twins), and enjoy reading adventurous stories (who doesn't?!).

This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment Hugh Dermott O'Connor""later to become Francis Joel Smith""was conceived, God's perfect plans for his life were already in motion. Born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the formation of the face during the first trimester of pregnancy, Infant Hugh's face was so severely deformed emergency surgery was performed moments after his birth just so he could breathe. Soon thereafter, he was deemed deaf and retarded. If Infant Hugh survived, it was believed he was destined to live out his life inside the walls of an institution. Yet his medical team fought valiantly to save this helpless infant's life. The LORD had other plans. Decades earlier, his God-fearing, God-loving adopted parents""Bob and Betty Smith""were divinely brought together and prepared and placed exactly where they needed to be in order to take this struggling, suffering child who battled for survival into their home, just as they already had with ten other challenged and rejected children they adopted before him. His foster mother, Mrs. Lillian Collins""a loving Christian woman""fought to sustain him and meet his immediate needs that included his first hearing aid and hefty doses of prayer. At two and a half years old, he was seamlessly integrated into the Smith household where daily scripture readings and prayer nourished him spiritually, and relentless ongoing tube feedings nourished him physically. Above all, Bob and Betty taught their children to love the LORD no matter what and to never give into their challenges. The LORD steadily provided for their needs, and through prayer and loving guidance, every challenge was met head-on. Today, Dr. Francis Joel Smith is a PhD medical researcher in craniofacial development and is a world-renowned speaker, musician, and advocate for those who suffer from craniofacial anomalies as he has.

Download or read book Parental Experiences of Unschooling written by Khara Schonfeld-Karan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores unschooling as a growing phenomenon within the broader field of home education and considers the unique position of parents who engage in this self-directed form of education with their children. Drawing on an in-depth hermeneutic phenomenological study, the volume investigates the double consciousness of parents as they balance the costs/benefits of unschooling and navigate the roles of leading/following and parenting/teaching in the education and upbringing of their children. The author conceptualizes unschooling in the context of curriculum theory and situates it within the larger home education movement. By highlighting the fluctuating, (un)divided position that parents assume, the volume examines how learning and living are rendered inseparable in unschooling, thereby revealing unschoolers’ experience of a curriculum of learning-through-living. This book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduates working across the fields of curriculum studies, parenting and family studies, and the sociology of education.

Download or read book Remix Judaism written by Roberta Rosenthal Kwall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remix Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World offers an eloquent and thoughtful new vision for all Jews seeking a sense of belonging in a changing world, regardless of their current level of observance. Kwall sets out a process of selection, rejection, and modification of rituals that allow for a focus on Jewish tradition rather than on the technicalities of Jewish law. Her goal is not to sell her own religious practices to readers but, rather, to encourage them to find their own personal meaning in Judaism outside the dictates of Commandment by broadening their understanding of how law, culture and tradition fit together. In Remix Judaism, Kwall inspires her audience to be intentional and mindful about the space they allocate for these elements in defining their individual Jewish journeys and identities.
