Download or read book Bullies and Saints written by John Dickson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the world better off without Christianity? Combining narrative with keen critique of contemporary debates, author and historian John Dickson gives an honest account of 2,000 years of Christian history that helps us understand what Christianity is and what it's meant to be. To say that the Christian Church has an "image problem" doesn't quite capture it. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to the racism and abuse present in today's Church--both in Catholic and Protestant traditions--the institution that Christ established on earth has a lot to answer for. But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings--from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. For defenders of the faith, it's important to be able to recognize the good and bad in the church's history and be inspired to live aligned with Christ. For skeptics, this book is a thought-provoking introduction to the idea that Christianity is, despite all, an essential foundation of our civilization. Bullies and Saints will take you on a big-picture journey from the Sermon on the Mount to the modern church: Giving contextual accounts of infamous chapters of Christian history, such as the Crusades, and acknowledging their darkness. Outlining the great movements of the faith and defending its heroes and saints, some of whom are not commonly recognized. Examining the Church beside the teachings and life of Jesus and how it has succeeded in its mission to imitate Christ.

I want to live but how? –Seventh-grade student Unfortunately, stories like that of this middle school student are all too common.

This book offer strategies as to what to do if one should find themselves as a victim of bullying behavior as well as if you happen to be the bully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do bullies have free rein in our churches? Who are the bullies? What is scapegoating? Is it possible to practice the mercy and forgiveness demanded by Gospel ethics while also protecting people from emotional and professional damage? These are some of the questions that Stephen Finlan seeks to answer, looking for an ethic of behavior that is both spiritually valid and psychologically wise. He seeks responses to bullying that are both "wise" and "harmless" (Matt 10:16), that do not leave people helpless against the cruelty of church bullies. Bullying has become a major concern in schools and workplaces, but the church sometimes lags behind the secular workplace in its ethics.

Download or read book Standing Like an Oak written by Sheryl M. Allen and published by . This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second grader Sherry feels she is rich with the many "treasures" that her life brings, until one day in class she is teased by Mary Jane, the most popular girl in the class. At first, Sherry wants to retaliate by 'getting even'. She imagines unleashing her pain and anger by hitting the bully, Mary Jane, until she promises to stop the teasing. Realizing that will never happen, Sherry tells her mama, "I have to have more clothes, and not just more, but better; better clothes like Mary Jane to make the teasing stop. If I had clothes like Mary Jane, I would be special, and the kids in my class would want to be my friends." It is her mother's answer to this comment that changes Sherry's opinion of the bully and of herself. She finds that "Being Special" isn't determined by what people say or don't say about her, but more by how she responds to what they say. By the end of the story, Sherry feels more than special by choosing the right "words," rather than the right fists or clothes. She learns the most valuable lesson of all . . . . . "What makes you special is not how others treat you, but how you treat others." This is a beautiful story about acceptance of oneself and a bully. It is through the strong moral character of Sherry's mother that this young girl learns valuable lessons that will serve her well throughout life. Emotional bullying is a daily problem for elementary children of all races and gender. Teaching the correct actions to take is often difficult. Students don't want to "tattle" on their peers, so it's difficult to engage students in an open, free discussion. This story is "that opening." By reading and discussing each character's role in the problem of harmful teasing and possible solutions, students can relate personally, but not "be" personal. But school isn't the only venue for this story. The strong moral lesson lends itself to churches, Sunday school teachers, and families from around the world. Children learn through examples and stories. Share this valuable lesson with a child today. It may open his or her eyes to the beautiful person that lives inside, even when the ugliness of bullying exist outside.

Download or read book Sticks and Stones written by Emily Bazelon and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER Being a teenager has never been easy, but in recent years, with the rise of the Internet and social media, it has become exponentially more challenging. Bullying, once thought of as the province of queen bees and goons, has taken on new, complex, and insidious forms, as parents and educators know all too well. No writer is better poised to explore this territory than Emily Bazelon, who has established herself as a leading voice on the social and legal aspects of teenage drama. In Sticks and Stones, she brings readers on a deeply researched, clear-eyed journey into the ever-shifting landscape of teenage meanness and its sometimes devastating consequences. The result is an indispensable book that takes us from school cafeterias to courtrooms to the offices of Facebook, the website where so much teenage life, good and bad, now unfolds. Along the way, Bazelon defines what bullying is and, just as important, what it is not. She explores when intervention is essential and when kids should be given the freedom to fend for themselves. She also dispels persistent myths: that girls bully more than boys, that online and in-person bullying are entirely distinct, that bullying is a common cause of suicide, and that harsh criminal penalties are an effective deterrent. Above all, she believes that to deal with the problem, we must first understand it. Blending keen journalistic and narrative skills, Bazelon explores different facets of bullying through the stories of three young people who found themselves caught in the thick of it. Thirteen-year-old Monique endured months of harassment and exclusion before her mother finally pulled her out of school. Jacob was threatened and physically attacked over his sexuality in eighth grade—and then sued to protect himself and change the culture of his school. Flannery was one of six teens who faced criminal charges after a fellow student’s suicide was blamed on bullying and made international headlines. With grace and authority, Bazelon chronicles how these kids’ predicaments escalated, to no one’s benefit, into community-wide wars. Cutting through the noise, misinformation, and sensationalism, she takes us into schools that have succeeded in reducing bullying and examines their successful strategies. The result is a groundbreaking book that will help parents, educators, and teens themselves better understand what kids are going through today and what can be done to help them through it. Contains a new discussion guide for classroom use and book groups Praise for Sticks and Stones “Intelligent, rigorous . . . [Emily Bazelon] is a compassionate champion for justice in the domain of childhood’s essential unfairness.”—Andrew Solomon, The New York Times Book Review “[Bazelon] does not stint on the psychological literature, but the result never feels dense with studies; it’s immersive storytelling with a sturdy base of science underneath, and draws its authority and power from both.”—New York “A humane and closely reported exploration of the way that hurtful power relationships play out in the contemporary public-school setting . . . As a parent herself, [Bazelon] brings clear, kind analysis to complex and upsetting circumstances.”—The Wall Street Journal “Bullying isn’t new. But our attempts to respond to it are, as Bazelon explains in her richly detailed, thought-provoking book. . . . Comprehensive in her reporting and balanced in her conclusions, Bazelon extracts from these stories useful lessons for young people, parents and principals alike.”—The Washington Post
