Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been facing troubles in life, and it seems as if you are struggling more and more just to make it day to day? Have you been seeking answers to the mysteries of life and the purpose for your creation and existence? In search of peace and a better life along with seeking answers, love, and acceptance, have you attended or joined a church, which revealed itself to be a place of chaos and confusion? An institution where you experienced feelings of rejection, abuse, hurt, and control. Have you attempted to read the Bible, but for whatever reason the words just did not resonate? Or maybe you just love God's word and enjoy learning as much as you can about living the life God purposed for you. If any of these apply, Sermons of Serenity is for you! Despite any trials, tribulations, or struggles that you might be facing, God loves you! He wants to talk to you. God desires to have a better relationship with you. The ultimate tool and primary way that God talks to us is through His word. Second Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) reads, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Whatever your path, whatever you may be struggling with or trying to make it through, as David said, the Word of God is literally a lamp unto your feet and light unto your path (Psalm 119:195). I wrote Sermons of Serenity to assist you on your journey and relationship with God. Sermons of Serenity is a personal discussion between me and you teaching you about the Word of God and the lives of historical figures throughout the Bible who we can all learn from. It is my prayer that through your reading you will be taught, encouraged, motivated, and your faith will increase. Blessings.

Download or read book The Burdens of Intimacy written by Christopher Lane and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does passion bewilder and torment so many Victorian protagonists? And why do so many literary characters experience moments of ecstasy before their deaths? In this original study, Christopher Lane shows why Victorian fiction conveys both the pleasure and anguish of intimacy. Examining works by Bulwer-Lytton, Swinburne, Schreiner, Hardy, James, Santayana, and Forster, he argues that these writers struggled with aspects of psychology that were undermining the utilitarian ethos of the Victorian age. Lane discredits the conservative notion that Victorian literature expresses only a demand for repression and moral restraint. But he also refutes historicist and Foucauldian approaches, arguing that they dismiss the very idea of repression and end up denouncing psychoanalysis as complicit in various kinds of oppression. These approaches, Lane argues, reduce Victorian literature to a drama about politics, power, and the ego. Striving instead to reinvigorate discussions of fantasy and the unconscious, Lane offers a clear, often startling account of writers who grapple with the genuine complexities of love, desire, and friendship.

Download or read book Reframing Educational Research written by Valerie Farnsworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Possibilities for the use of research in educational practice are often written off due to the history, politics and interests of the ostensibly separate worlds that researchers and practitioners occupy. However, a more optimistic account highlights the ways these communities share a common need for practice-based theories, which enable them to make sense of a wide range of issues in education, including pedagogy, learning, and educational equity. In applying theory to situated accounts of various educational practices and learning contexts, this book explores mistaken assumptions about the ways that research can ‘inform’ or otherwise impact practice. It problematises a ‘what works’ agenda but also points to potentially more productive research-practice relationships in education. Experienced contributors describe how they have used a variety of context-sensitive theoretical approaches in the socio-cultural and discursive traditions to both understand practice and address a wide range of practical issues in education. At its core Reframing Educational Research challenges two commonly held assumptions: that "best practice" is readily identifiable in a way that is then transferrable to new contexts for use by practitioners more widely, and that theory will not help with what to do on Monday morning in the classroom or in developing policies with direct and visible impact. Drawing on the experience of a number of highly respected expert contributors, including Mel Ainscow, Harry Daniels, Anna Sfard and Etienne Wenger-Trayner, the book discusses a range of issues that must be explicitly addressed if we are to make headway in developing a sustainable and productive relationship between research, policy and practice. The authors make it clear that the politics, policies, institutional practices, market systems and social dynamics currently at play in education have a tendency to derail the idealised pathway from research to reform. This book aims to move the discussion towards alternative, and potentially more fruitful, ways of linking research with practice. Reframing Educational Research is an invitation to all researchers to identify new opportunities for advancing theory and practice in education. It is a must-read for all practitioners and researchers in education.
