Download or read book Home for Good written by Krish Kandiah and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tying in to a nationwide joint campaign by the Evangelical Alliance and Care for the Family, Krish Kandiah wants us all to take seriously Jesus's call to 'suffer the little children' by engaging with the needs of the many thousands of children up and down the country who are in care and whom the church could and should be helping. Krish and his wife Miriam have adopted and fostered children themselves and their experience - and that of the many others in this book - is very different from the popular myth which suggests social services seek to prevent Christians from getting involved. Krish argues that whatever the state's stance may be, it is a part of our calling as God's church to get involved where it's hardest, and to help these children out of the tough realities they find themselves in. Filled with stories from people who have adopted or were adopted themselves, alongside practical advice on how it all works and the challenges that will come, this book makes a compelling case that the church can and must make a difference in these children's lives, and asks us all to consider our response.
Download or read book TravelSome Magazine Vol 4 North West England written by Nomad Travel Family and published by Nomad Travel Family. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are Tanja, Patrick and our teenage son Levi. Like most of you, the Covid pandemic has changed our lives massively. Suddenly we were not able to physically attend our jobs and school anymore, but the three of us were cooped up in our house. It is not that we don’t like our home, it is an awesome place. Being confined to the same space for so long, makes you think. In our minds, we revisited many places we had been to before. And we missed them. So, when the world finally got back to normal and some countries were cautiously opening up again, we found ourselves on a holiday on a gorgeous Greek island. Breathing sunshine and freedom. Breathing life! It was then that we jokingly said to each other: ‘We are so freaking good at traveling! We should do this forever!’ And then we laughed. As with many unconscious spoken words, there was truth in them. We went from ‘what ifs?’ to finding solutions to those questions. As you can imagine there were many things to consider. From practical things like where to leave our stuff, to schooling for our son, financial planning, how to stay connected to family and friends, to staying happy on the road. Spoiler: yes, it is going to be epic! Of course we have our moments (being hangry is one of them). Disclaimer: we are not your Instagram family with the toes-pointing-down-poses, hipster hats and food pics! However, we do take the odd picture that would not be out of place in a travel magazine. We make attractive short videos which give you an excellent feel for the place as well. TravelSome’s next volumes will cover our campervan trip around Great Britain (that is England, Wales and Scotland. For ease of use let’s just call it the UK). Then we ditch the van and are off to Southeast Asia where we will visit Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. By plains, trains, boats, buses, bikes and tuk tuks. After that we set our eyes on Australia, New Zealand, Japan and beyond. Join us! We would love you to be part of Nomad Travel Family.

Book excerpt: Ever since the age of seven, old enough to form an identity but too young to be aware that 'southern' was a category, Paul Morley has always thought of himself as a northerner. What that meant, he wasn't entirely sure. But he wondered why, when as a child he was so ready to abandon his Cheshire roots and support the much more successful Lancashire cricket team, and when as an adult he found he could travel between London and Manchester in less than two hours, he continued to say he was from the north.
