This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An insightful, scholarly resource for dialogue about the symbiotic relationship between the life of the mind and the life of the heart of faculty, and what faculty can do to provide students an education that focuses on meaning and purpose.” —Larry A. Braskamp, professor emeritus, Loyola University Chicago “Among the strengths of this book are Lindholm’s solid research design and data analysis, deft integration of quantitative and qualitative data in presentation of findings and interpretation, and clear writing. Dr. Lindholm makes an important contribution both to higher education literature on faculty, and to religious studies literature, on this dimension of religion and spirituality in colleges and universities.” —Michael D. Waggoner, professor, University of Northern Iowa; editor, Religion & Education “No one understands more thoroughly the roles that spirituality and religion play in higher education today than Jennifer Lindholm, who has spent more than a decade documenting their impact. The Quest for Meaning and Wholeness adds greatly to her earlier findings of how college can enhance the spiritual lives of students.” —Gary Luhr, executive director, Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities “Based on both quantitative and qualitative data, Lindholm’s thoughtful, well-written book opens new ground, addressing a largely ignored topic in the research on faculty lives and work—spirituality, religion, and meaning in academic life. Institutional leaders, faculty members, and students will benefit from the fresh perspectives, careful definitions, issues, and questions discussed in this book.” —Ann E. Austin, professor of higher, adult, and lifelong education, Michigan State University; coauthor of Rethinking Faculty Work: Higher Education’s Strategic Imperative “At last, a book for faculty about faculty on an important, but long-neglected, topic. Jennifer Lindholm provides a cogent, readable analysis of how faculty view spirituality and religion not only in their own lives, but also their role in higher education.” —Peter C. Hill, Rosemead School of Psychology, Biola University

Download or read book Religious Beliefs about Ministerial and Non ministerial Work as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Person environment Fit and College Major Satisfaction written by Michael Peter Benoit and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research sought to examine the influence of religious beliefs on work related behavior among religiously committed college students. Specifically, this research intended to measure the extent to which individuals maintained a belief in the differing significance of ministerial work and non-ministerial work (ordinary work) and the effect of this belief on the relationship between person-environment congruence and college major satisfaction. Anecdotal evidence exists (Schuurman, 2004) that among some committed Christians, there is a subtle devaluation of ordinary work in favor of privileging ministry occupations based on the understanding that God is best served only in the latter. Additionally, there is in the history of Christianity, disagreement about the role of ordinary work and its divine importance (Placher, 2005; Schuurman, 2004; Veith, 2002), which may be taught in a church or educational environment and may influence students' thinking about the value of their intended work. It was therefore hypothesized that for those religiously committed Christian students who were not preparing for the ministry, greater devaluation of ordinary work would result in weaker associations between fit with their college major environment (congruence) and satisfaction with their major. Major congruence was measured by Euclidian distance and angular distance between a student's UNIACT (Swaney, 1995) and ICA-R (Tracey, 2002; Tracey & Ward, 1998) interest inventory scores and the location of their college major on the World of Work Map (Swaney, 1995). College major satisfaction was measured by a modification of Hoppock's Job Satisfaction Blank (1935) and a single-item measure of college major satisfaction. Significant congruence to satisfaction correlations were observed in the sample of men while no support for a congruence to satisfaction relationship was observed in the sample of women. Additionally, no moderation effect was evident for either gender. However, devaluation of ordinary work in relation to ministerial work was found to have a small but significant negative effect on college major satisfaction for both genders. Suggestions for future research and implications for career counseling with a Christian college population are discussed."--Abstract.

Download or read book Influencers of Religious Engagement in the First Year of College written by Harold V. Hartley (III.) and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence a deepening of students' religious engagement in the first year of college. Recent studies have challenged the findings of more than three decades of research that found attending college leads to a decline in students' religious beliefs and practices. This study extends those recent findings by exploring the factors that lead to increased religious engagement. Multiple linear regression was employed to measure predictor effects on three measures of religious engagement in the spring semester, as well as to determine antecedents of religious involvement and strength of religious faith in the fall semester. This study found that religious engagement in high school positively influenced fall religious engagement, which in turn positively influenced spring religious engagement. A proposed theory of religious engagement, rooted in Astin's Theory of Involvement, is advanced. Additional findings, as well as implications for policy and practice are discussed. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
