Book excerpt: Enlightening personal read...and an easy, relevant resource for youth, adult and senior study groups...Everyone is welcome at the manger! All of us - even our dopey, sneezy, grumpy selves - are invited to come and see Jesus in the manger. Readers of every age will take away much from this clever, careful look at the birth of Jesus Christ, inspired by Dr. Thurman's Christmas creche and the unlikely figures his little granddaughter added to the scene......Rev. Dr. Jeff Thurman has always loved and collected nativity sets. One day his granddaughter, Dawson, was playing with one of his sets, and when she finished he noticed that there were some unexpected figuresin the scene. Besides the traditional Mary, Joseph, Shepherds, Kings, Donkey, Sheep, and Camels there were now four dwarfs from a kids' meal play set. Sneezy was keeping a respectable distance from the baby Jesus. Doc and Dopey were standing among the three Kings, and Grumpy was by the manger scowling. How appropriate that seemed! At the manger when Jesus was born, both rich and poor (Kings and Shepherds) were present. Folks may not be able to identify with the Kings and Shepherds, but most of us have at one time or another identified with the "Seven Dwarfs." All of us - our dopey, sneezy selves and our uppity selves - are invited to come and see Jesus in the manger. In this book Dr. Thurman looks at each of the figurines in the nativity set, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and at others who historically might also have been present. He gives historical background and then helps to make some implications and applications for everyday life. This is for readers of all ages who want to know more about the characters who were present at the birth of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book A LEAP OF FAITH written by Ellen G. Horovitz and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new book A Leap of Faith: The Call to Art, Horovitz examines the diverse and convergent roles of the therapist as artist, writer, mother, teacher, and clinician. This new book questions what is essential in art therapy and engages authentic positioning in and out of the therapeutic office. This return to art, or the "call to art," changed the author’s identity and efficacy as a therapist. Artwork, fiction, and clinical work transform as insight occurs. The casework throughout the book provides models for integrating the assessment and intuitive features of art therapy educator and clinician. Horovitz' own work and that of her clients is shared without guile. In this book, the myth of clinician neutrality is broken and instead the author's focus is on bringing one's conscious self to work in order to become more authentic with oneself and one’s clients. This state of "elemental play" perpetuates that connection with the patient as another human being on the trajectory towards wellness. The fundamental process of art making that guides personal and professional life is described as "elemental play." Play is seen as the intrinsic element of the art making process that offers directions for resolution of conflicts, the evolution of personal growth, and ultimately 'soulution.' This concept of an artistic "soulution" offers the necessary elements of healing and transformation. For any reader, whether trained in art therapy or not, A Leap of Faith: The Call to Art validates the transcendent aspects of art creativity, and play.

Download or read book Mother of Pearl written by Angela Savage and published by Transit Lounge . This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous and courageous story about the hopes and dreams we all have for our lives and relationships, and the often fraught and unexpected ways they may be realised. Angela Savage draws us masterfully into the lives of Anna, an aid worker trying to settle back into life in Australia after more than a decade in Southeast Asia; Meg, Anna’s sister, who holds out hope for a child despite seven fruitless years of IVF; Meg's husband Nate, and Mukda, a single mother in provincial Thailand who wants to do the right thing by her son and parents. The women and their families' lives become intimately intertwined in the unsettling and extraordinary process of trying to bring a child into the world across borders of class, culture and nationality. Rich in characterisation and feeling, Mother of Pearl, and the timely issues it raises, will generate discussion amongst readers everywhere. ‘This is a story of family and motherhood, and also a story of culture and exploitation that asks us to think through the costs of our insatiable desire in the West to have everything. What I find remarkable about this novel is how it refuses easy and lazy judgement, how it takes seriously questions of loss, longing, and our human need to connect with each other.’ — Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap
