Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of girls of color are often overlooked, unseen, and ignored rather than valued and heard. In Parable of the Brown Girl, minister and youth advocate Khristi Lauren Adams introduces readers to the resilience, struggle, and hope held within these stories. Instead of relegating these young women of color to the margins, Adams bring their stories front and center where they belong. By sharing encounters she's had with girls of color that revealed profound cultural and theological truths, Adams magnifies the struggles, dreams, wisdom, and dignity of these voices. Thought-provoking and inspirational, Parable of the Brown Girl is a powerful example of how God uses the narratives we most often ignore to teach us the most important lessons in life. It's time to pay attention.
Download or read book The Woodwright s Eclectic Workshop written by Roy Underhill and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than ten years, Roy Underhill has taught the techniques of traditional woodcraft, or 'how to start with a tree and an axe and make one thing after another until you have a house and everything in it.' Through his popular PBS series, The Woodwright's Shop,' and his previous books, Roy has inspired millions--from professional craftspeople to armchair woodworkers--with his talent, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Roy returns now with his fourth book, The Woodwright's Eclectic Workshop. It features step-by-step instructions for many projects featured on the television series in recent years, including such popular projects as the Adirondack chair, tavern table, folding ladder, rocking horse, lathe, and kayak. All projects are illustrated with photographs and measured drawings. The book also includes colorful descriptions of what it was like to be a tradesperson who made a living by hand, working with the tools and methods Roy describes on television and in his books: carpenters, joiners, wheelwright, millwrights, chairmakers, and blacksmiths. As Roy puts it, he wants to examine 'the old paths in the way that they were originally taken: not as adventuresome recreations but a profession that put food on the table and clothes on the kids.'
Download or read book On Patience written by Matthew Pianalto and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us are so busy that we might be tempted to think we don’t have time to be patient. However, that idea involves a serious underestimation of what patience is and why it matters. In On Patience, Matthew Pianalto revives a richer understanding of what patience is and why it is centrally important in both virtue theory and everyday life. Drawing from a wide range of philosophical and religious sources, Pianalto shows that our contemporary tendency to equate patience with waiting fails to do justice to other aspects of patience such as tolerance, perseverance, and the opposition of patience to anger. With this broader understanding of patience, Pianalto further shows how patience supports the development of other moral strengths, such as courage, justice, love, and hope. In these ways, On Patience sheds light on Franz Kafka’s remark that, “Patience is the master key to every situation,” and Gregory the Great’s perhaps surprising claim that, “Patience is the root and guardian of all the virtues.” This first book-length contemporary philosophical examination of patience will be of interest to students and scholars not just of virtue ethics, but also of moral philosophy more broadly.

This book was released on 2007-10-22 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the first edition "Finally, a social work practice text that makes a difference! This is the book that you have wished for but could never find. Although similar to texts that cover a range of practice theories and approaches to clinical practice, this book clearly has a social work frame of reference and a social work identity." --Gayla Rogers, Dean of the Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary The major focus of this second edition is the same; to provide an overview of theories, models, and therapies for direct social work practice, including systems theory, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, the crisis intervention model, and many more. However, this popular textbook goes beyond a mere survey of such theories. It also provides a framework for integrating the use of each theory with central social work principles and values, as well as with the artistic elements of practice. This second edition has been fully updated and revised to include: A new chapter on Relational Theory, and newly-rewritten chapters by new authors on Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, Existential Theory, and Wraparound Services New critique of the Empirically Supported Treatment (EST) movement Updated information on the movement toward eclecticism in counseling and psychotherapy A refined conceptualization of the editors' generalist-eclectic approach

Download or read book Sweet Tea and Sympathy written by Molly Harper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beloved author Molly Harper comes the first novel in the contemporary romance series, Southern Eclectic, about a big-city party planner who finds true love in a small Georgia town. Nestled on the shore of Lake Sackett, Georgia is the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop. (What, you have a problem with one-stop shopping?) Two McCready brothers started two separate businesses in the same building back in 1928, and now it’s become one big family affair. And true to form in small Southern towns, family business becomes everybody’s business. Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not. As an elite event planner, Margot’s rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society, and made elegance and glamour her business. She’s riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. Now she’s blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start—and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation. As Margot finds her footing in a town where everybody knows not only your name, but what you had for dinner last Saturday night and what you’ll wear to church on Sunday morning, she grudgingly has to admit that there are some things Lake Sackett does better than Chicago—including the dating prospects. Elementary school principal Kyle Archer is a fellow fish-out-of-water who volunteers to show Margot the picture-postcard side of Southern living. The two of them hit it off, but not everybody is happy to see an outsider snapping up one of the town's most eligible gentleman. Will Margot reel in her handsome fish, or will she have to release her latest catch?
Download or read book Faith Without Labels written by Judie Sigdel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you question the beliefs of the religion in which you were raised?Are you "spiritual but not religious?"Are you investigating the role of religion and spirituality in your life?If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you are a "Seeker," and this book is designed to help you find your way.Faith without Labels: a Guide to Eclectic Spirituality is a self-help book and workbook designed to introduce Seekers to eclectic spirituality, "A highly individualized spiritual belief system composed of selected elements drawn from various doctrines," and to provide clear instructions on how to customize and follow this path. Faith without Labels: a Guide to Eclectic Spirituality is the fruit of a lifetime of spiritual inquiry, study and practice. From mainstream Christianity to past-life memories, the occult, Wicca and Buddhism, the author's intimate opening spiritual memoir makes for compelling reading and encourages readers to examine their own beliefs. Then Faith without Labels: a Guide to Eclectic Spirituality gives them the means to do that through a comprehensive workbook designed to help them analyze what they believe, what works for them and what doesn't, identify gaps and, finally, create a roadmap to their own authentic eclectic spiritual path.Faith without Labels: a Guide to Eclectic Spirituality is geared towards Seekers who may currently identify as "spiritual but not religious" (SBNR) as well as adults who are investigating spirituality in earnest for the first time. In a 2012 survey conducted by the Pew Religion and Public Life Project, 7% of Americans said that they were spiritual but not religious. And, according to the same research, "... nearly one-in-five adults under age 30 (18%) say they were raised in a religion but are now unaffiliated with any particular faith." Since eclectic spirituality has no established doctrine, Faith without Labels: a Guide to Eclectic Spirituality will appeal both to SBNRs who reject organized religion and to adults who are seeking a spiritual practice that meets their unique needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Palmer is Joint award winner of the Annual Counselling Psychology Award for outstanding professional and scientific contribution to Counselling Psychology in Britain for 2000. `The editors' support for the integrative project is clear, but the book will hold its own with the sceptics too. I recommend it' - Counselling at Work This innovative and timely book examines the issues and ideas surrounding integration and eclecticism in a therapeutic context, and provides a detailed account of a wide range of approaches in use. Following an exploration of the origins of integrative and eclectic processes, 10 approaches are explained in detail. Chapters on each approach: describe its central concepts, assumptions and therapeutic goals; outline its view of how psychological disturbance is acquired, perpetuated and resolved; examine how the theory relates to practice - including examples of typical sessions and case studies; and consider which clients might benefit. Further chapters explore the implications of using integrative and eclectic approaches for training, supervision, for working in a time-limited context and from a multicultural perspective.
Download or read book The Halle Orphanage as Scientific Community written by Kelly Joan Whitmer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded around 1700 by a group of German Lutherans known as Pietists, the Halle Orphanage became the institutional headquarters of a universal seminar that still stands largely intact today. It was the base of an educational, charitable, and scientific community and consisted of an elite school for the sons of noblemen. Yet, its reputation as a Pietist enclave inhabited largely by young people has prevented the organisation from being taken seriously as a kind of scientific academy - even though, Kelly Joan Whitmer shows, this is precisely what it was. This book calls into question a long-standing tendency to view German Pietists as anti-science and anti-Enlightenment, arguing that these tendencies have drawn attention away from what was actually going on inside the orphanage.
Download or read book An Ape Ethic and the Question of Personhood written by Gregory F. Tague and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregory F. Tague’s An Ape Ethic and the Question of Personhood argues that great apes are moral individuals because they engage in a land ethic as ecosystem engineers to generate ecologically sustainable biomes for themselves and other species. Tague shows that we need to recognize apes as eco-engineers in order to save them and their habitats, and that in so doing, we will ultimately save earth’s biosphere. The book draws on extensive empirical research from the ecology and behavior of great apes and synthesizes past and current understanding of the similarities in cognition, social behavior, and culture found in apes. Importantly, this book proposes that differences between humans and apes provide the foundation for the call to recognize forest personhood in the great apes. While all ape species are alike in terms of cognition, intelligence, and behaviors, there is a vital contrast: unlike humans, great apes are efficient ecological engineers. Therefore, simian forest sovereignty is critical to conservation efforts in controlling global warming, and apes should be granted dominion over their tropical forests. Weaving together philosophy, biology, socioecology, and elements from eco-psychology, this book provides a glimmer of hope for future acknowledgment of the inherent ethic that ape species embody in their eco-centered existence on this planet.
Download or read book Indelible Adventures written by Terence Wallis and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after his father’s death, Terence began writing a weekly blog about his life adventures as a memoir for his children. What begins as a journey of grief evolves into a series of evocative, candid and often humorous adventures about his life as a child in rural Australia to his current cosmopolitan life in Canada. This emotional and powerful series of short stories begin with his father’s diagnosis of terminal brain cancer and his stark realization that he knows so very little about his father and the harsh reality that he only has a short time to get to know him. The similarities between his relationship with his children and the one he had with his father mirror each other, especially given his high demands as a senior executive that take him away from his family on a regular basis. His decision to change the nature of his relationship with his children beginning with his weekly story allows him to gain perspective in his life, which undoubtedly leads to wholesale change. His now celebrated blog is read by more than 30,000 people from around the world and is regarded, as a weekly “must read”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 13 years between the publication of the original edition of the handbook and this second edition have been marked by memorable growth in psychotherapy integration. The original classic was the first compilation of the early integrative approaches and was hailed by one reviewer as "the bible of the integration movement." In the interim, psychotherapy integration has grown into a mature, empirically supported, and international movement. This second edition provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive description of psychotherapy and its clinical practices by leading proponents. In addition to updates of all of the chapters, the new edition features: (1) eight new chapters covering topics such as cognitive-analytic therapy, integrative psychotherapy with culturally diverse clients, cognitive-behavioral analysis system, and blending spirituality with psychotherapy, (2) an entirely new section with two chapters on assimilative integration, (3) updated reviews of the empirical research on integrative and eclectic treatments, (4) chapter guidelines that facilitate comparative analyses and ensure comprehensiveness, and (5) a summary outline to help readers compare the integrative approaches. Blending the best of clinical expertise, empirical research, and theoretical pluralism, the revision of this "integration bible" will prove invaluable to practitioners, researchers, and students alike.
