Download or read book Where Have All The Fathers Gone written by Gary Martin and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to encourage men, husbands, and fathers to understand that God has given them unique abilities to lead their families through all the difficulties the secular world can throw at them. The God-given task of a Christian father is so much more than working long days at a difficult job just to pay the bills and keep food on the table. Wives and children also need their father to lead his family in a God-ordered manner that will help them navigate the temptations and evil of living in a godless world. Children at every stage in their lives need their father’s strong godly leadership and guidance along with their mother’s unique God-given gifts so decisions the children eventually make as adults will also be guided by God himself. With the Bible as its authority, this book will provide the specific duties God requires of a Christian husband and father. Not only will it point out a husband’s responsibilities to his wife, but it will also show that his wife, too, has been given specific gifts from God that differ from her husband’s, though both are necessary for raising godly children. It will help make family time more practical in a busy world of long work hours and conflicting school activities because meaningful family time need not be crammed into an everyday schedule. Even the rebellious child is not neglected in these pages, and parents will be given encouragement in dealing with such a child. In short, this book will help fathers to lead their families God’s way without resorting to threats and physical punishment. Fathers will learn in these pages that God’s way produces peace, contentment, and the lasting joy of true biblical love in a family.
Download or read book Where Have All the Fathers Gone written by David Lazarus and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Necessity of Fathering In 1 Corinthians 4:15, Paul talks about how the Corinthians had thousands of instructors in Christ. However, they did not have many fathers like him to serve as a spiritual covering. Through four decades of experience in ministry, Bishop David A. Lazarus has seen up close the need for such spiritual fathering and mothering. Only through an appreciation for foundational biblical teaching and close relationships fostered in an atmosphere of mutual submission and accountability can the Church hope to develop into a spiritual powerhouse. This is the kind of house needed to usher in a worldwide revival in the 21st century. In Where Have All the Fathers Gone? Bishop Lazarus relates some of the troubles he endured when he tried to raise up spiritual leaders without these kinds of close relationships. And, the fruit that followed once he established this principle in training sons and daughters for ministry. This book includes a detailed exploration of the powerful example of Elijah and Elisha, and how the father enabled the son to do even greater things in ministry.

Download or read book Islam Culture and Marriage Consent written by Hafsa Pirzada and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an empirical examination of consent-seeking among Pashtun Muslims in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), to determine whether cultural norms and beliefs have largely come to diverge from the principles of consent in Islamic law and jurisprudence. Is culture part of the ‘inevitable decay’ to which Max Müller says every religion is exposed? Or – if rephrased in terms of the research encapsulated within this book – are cultural beliefs and practises the inevitable decay to which Islam has been exposed in Muslim societies? Drawing on interviews with Muslims in Pakistan and Australia, the research broadly broaches questions around the rights of women in Islam and contributes to a wider understanding of Muslim social, cultural, and religious practices in both Muslim majority nations and diaspora communities. The author disentangles cultural practices from both religious and universal legal principles, demonstrating how consent seeking in Pashtun culture generally does not reflect the spirit or the intent of consent as described in Hanafī law and jurisprudence. This research will be of interest to students and scholars across sociology, anthropology, socio-legal studies, and law, with a focus on Islamically-justified law reform in Muslim nation states.
Download or read book Holidays Holy Days and Special Days written by William Powell Tuck and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s a preacher to do with holidays? Some seem to almost preach themselves, especially those in the church calendar. Others are more secular or may seem to conflict with the church calendar. Some are even controversial and require a gentle, but firm touch of the preacher’s art. William Powell Tuck is a master preacher and in this book he demonstrates his sensitivity to the issues raised by some of the holidays and special days of the year along with his grounding in biblical studies, theology, and homiletics. You can read these sermons as essays if you want, but they are not light devotionals. They are serious efforts to grapple honestly with issues and to guide a church community in learning and growing as they celebrate their lives, their families, and their communities. For the preacher, these sermons can serve as models for how to approach these days, as well as providing insight into the various issues involved.

Download or read book Missional fatherhood as praxis to Christian families who grapple with father absence written by Fazel Ebrihiam Freeks and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All human beings are made in the image of God, and form part of God’s creation. Families per se are valuable to God, and they can be infused with God-given solutions (biblically based) to the challenges they are facing. One of these challenges are father absence and it is a devastated social ill in many communities. Even so, missional fatherhood can be a buffer against father absence, un-involvement of fathers and numerous family issues. Missional fathers are filled with a God-given mission aiming to instil a love for Christ in the hearts of their children. They are not only called but obliged to lead sacrificial lives for the sake of their families. Their hearts engage with their children on aspects in life that matters the most. Transforming their minds by the Word of God and serving God the Father is far-reaching. Missional fathers are not only disciple-makers in their homes but also in their respective communities. This present-day notion is God’s calling on every father to be part of the Gospel and God’s holistic mission and is in response to Jesus’s Great Commission to make disciples of all people including families. All who decided and turn to the way of Jesus Christ form part of the mission that God had given the Son.
Download or read book Faulkner and psychology written by Donald M. Kartiganer and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 1994 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characteristically, William Faulkner minimized his familiarity with the theories of psychology that were current during the years of his apprenticeship as a writer, especially those of Freud. Yet, Faulkner's works prove to be a trove for psychological study. These original papers from the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held in 1991 at the University of Mississippi, vary widely in their approaches to recent psychological speculation about Faulkner's texts. In recent years psychological analysis of literature has shifted largely from investigation of a writer's life to a focus on the work itself. Whether applying the theories of Freud and Lacan, drawing upon theoretical work in women's studies and men's studies, or emphasizing the rigid determinacy of psychological pressure, the essays included in this collection show Faulkner's works to be unquestionably rich in psychological materials.
Download or read book Boys Will be Boys written by Myriam Miedzian and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Miedzian provides a thorough investigation of the numerous factors influencing aggression and violence in American males. In addition, she also provides descriptions and proposals for interventions, social action, and solutions to break the link between masculinity and violence. The book is separated into three major parts: 1) The Problem: The acceptance of violence as a way of life; 2) Toward a Solution: Raising sons for the twenty-first century; 3) Conclusions: Beyond the masculine mystique. Throughout the book Miedzian emphasizes that because males have a high potential for aggression and violence, every effort should be made to encourage and model for males those qualities that are counter to violence. She illustrates the large extent to which our culture currently (and historically) encourages qualities and values that increase a male's propensity for violence. (From a review of the book by Lori A. Cillo)

Download or read book Lacan in the End Times written by Rob Weatherill and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores themes around the Father, His absence in modern society and the decline of mental health. The nature of this decline can be uniquely psychoanalytically theorised, in both the corresponding ferocity of the internal object and exposure to the Real. The first part of this book underlines what psychoanalysis and psi-sciences continue to overlook: who now provides what Lacan called the “narrow footbridge” between anxiety and death? What terror(ism) must replace the father? How can reality be stabilised once more? The second part follows the atomised world as it turns towards extremism and utopian dreams: in Ireland via Hanaghan’s radical psychoanalysis; in Levinasian ethics; in Gnostic belief in an evil world; and in the clinic of the death drive. The conclusion turns finally to the God beyond God, and the overwhelming evidence for God’s presence in the world. Lacan in the End Times will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, and scholars in critical theory, philosophy, cultural theory, literary theory, and theology.
Download or read book Men in Families written by Alan Booth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the roles of fathers and husbands in families have been recognized as important issues. They appear in legislation aimed at deadbeat dads, social movements including the Million Man March and Promise Keepers, in the development of advocacy groups, and in think tanks. Therefore, contemporary research on men in family relationships has very mixed results. Some studies show that fathers have small effects on child development and in preventing antisocial behavior, whereas others suggest no effects. Other research claims that the primary importance of men in families is in their role as providers. Although some studies state that the husbands' and fathers' most vital work occurs in new families, others indicate that it is when their offspring reach adolescence. Confusing the issue even further, labor market trends predict that men's family roles may diminish. Based on the presentations and discussions from a recent national symposium on men in families held at The Pennsylvania State University, this book addresses these issues. This is the only book that deals with men's involvement in families in a comprehensive way. Although several books focus on fathers alone or on a broader family perspective, this is the first book that deals with a variety of family roles on an interdisciplinary basis. Although most of the writers are psychologists or sociologists, there are key figures in history and anthropology who also make important contributions. As such, this volume will be useful to scholars, students, policy specialists, and family program administrators.
