Called to Public Schools by Tom Deighan (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Millions of Christians believe they have been Called to Public Schools to serve as teachers, support staff, administrators, and volunteers. They recognize the flaws of our public education system, but they consider their work in our nation's school as an act of worship and devotion to God. They are ChIPS (Christians in Public Schools). For decades, ChIPS have resisted and opposed Harmful Influences in Public Schools (HIPS) from inside local schools, but they remain unrecognized by our public school system and most churches. Consequently, ChIPS are increasingly caught between the secular and the sacred in the culture wars, so they cannot continue to succeed unseen or unsupported. Called to Public Schools acknowledges and affirms these resolute servants of God, providing Biblical support for their callings, practical strategies to thrive, and encouragement to embrace each other as professionals and believers. ChIPS value prayer over politics and service over activism as they serve in our nation's greatest mission field. Join Dr. Tom Deighan as he reveals themillions of people serving as the hands and feet of Christ for our nation's students, parents, and communities. If you have sensed God guiding you in your service in a public school, then Called to Public Schools is for you. Welcome to the Fellowship of ChIPS!

Chickens in Canaan Land: A romance novelist talks about raising cows, kids and chaos on the family farm. (Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter) by Jessie Gussman (37 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Hi! I'm Jessie Gussman and I get emails all the time from people who spewed their coffee/half-chewed toast/cereal out all over their e-reader. Or who woke up their spouse while reading my newsletter because they were laughing so hard. Or who save my emails until they get home from work because they don't have the kind of job where howling and rolling on the floor is acceptable conduct. But not every story in this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Some of them will make you cry. Some will make you think. And some of them will make you shake your head and wonder how in the world someone like me has made it through life without being put in a straight jacket and carted away. Not even close. I get paid to write love stories. Lol Life is weird, I agree. I'm a wife, mother and farmer by day, romance novelist by night and in my spare time, I write about my life from prison. Kidding about the prison part. (At the time of this writing, anyway. No one has figured out if there was actually a body in the car that's buried in my dad's back yard - that story's in the book, along with the time I caught myself on fire and my kid was laughing too hard to blow me out, how to charge a 1600 pound, angry mama cow (and why you'd want to), odd Amish courting rituals (involving frogs), and how not to fall out of your husband's Peterbilt as he's driving down the interstate.) There is a lot of faith, family and fun in my fiction books, and WARNING: my real life has a ton of all that, too. But life on the farm is not always fun. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it hurts and those stories are in here, too. Thanks so much for choosing to spend a little time with me today!

Inner City Kids: Adolescents Confront Life and Violence in an Urban Community (Qualitative Studies in Psychology Book 4) by Alice Mcintyre (NYU Press) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

Urban teens of color are often portrayed as welfare mothers, drop outs, drug addicts, and both victims and perpetrators of the many kinds of violence which can characterize life in urban areas. Although urban youth often live in contexts which include poverty, unemployment, and discrimination, they also live with the everydayness of school, friends, sex, television, music, and other elements of teenage lives. Inner City Kids explores how a group of African American, Jamaican, Puerto Rican, and Haitian adolescents make meaning of and respond to living in an inner-city community. The book focuses on areas of particular concern to the youth, such as violence, educational opportunities, and a decaying and demoralizing urban environment characterized by trash, pollution, and abandoned houses. McIntyre's work with these teens draws upon participatory action research, which seeks to codevelop programs with study participants rather than for them.

Babysitter: An American History by Miriam Forman-Brunell (NYU Press) (6 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

On Friday nights many parents want to have a little fun together -- without the kids. But "getting a sitter" -- especially a dependable one -- rarely seems trouble-free. Will the kids be safe with "that girl"? It's a question that discomfited parents have been asking ever since the emergence of the modern American teenage girl nearly a century ago. In Babysitter, Miriam Forman-Brunell brings critical attention to the ubiquitous, yet long-overlooked babysitter in the popular imagination and American history. Informed by her research on the history of teenage girls' culture, Forman-Brunell analyzes the babysitter, who has embodied adults' fundamental apprehensions about girls' pursuit of autonomy and empowerment. In fact, the grievances go both ways, as girls have been distressed by unsatisfactory working conditions. In her quest to gain a fuller picture of this largely unexamined cultural phenomenon, Forman-Brunell analyzes a wealth of diverse sources, such as The Baby-sitter's Club book series, horror movies like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, urban legends, magazines, newspapers, television shows, pornography, and more. Forman-Brunell shows that beyond the mundane, understandable apprehensions stirred by hiring a caretaker to "mind the children" in one's own home, babysitters became lightning rods for society's larger fears about gender and generational change. In the end, experts' efforts to tame teenage girls with training courses, handbooks, and other texts failed to prevent generations from turning their backs on babysitting.

Wicked Games and Wasted Years Part 1: Every woman has her breaking point by Amanda Schiller (7 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Get ready to be gaslit and triggered. Based on a true story, this novel is about the torment of narcissistic abuse. What was once categorized as women's fiction, and as a psychological thriller, is now being acknowledged for what it truly is. This novel is a fictionalized memoir about me, a woman, trapped in my own mind by a cruel covert narcissist. This story follows the life of Sara when she meets the narcissist, the love of her life. It was at a time when she was still reeling over her brother's death, but trying to move on with life when she meets the charismatic, hilarious, attentive, where have you been all my life, Brandon. They marry quickly, and Sara's reality begins to unravel immediately. Each chapter encapsulates Sara's mass internal conflict as she's gaslit by her husband over and over and over, until she almost breaks. You will experience how the narcissist unravels the mind as a master gaslighter. But the wicked games don't end there. Witness how even at her breaking point, the narcissist knows just how to manipulate Sara with new games. But Sara never asked to play. And she doesn't know how to win. With a dreadfully impactful ending, this story explores how the narcissist aims at winning their evil game as they stare their victim in the eyes as they teeter on the edge. Even after the end, you'll be asking yourself, is this a game with only losers? Part 1 is not about overcoming narcissism, but focuses on the parts of us that die off from the crushing weight of narcissistic abuse. If you have ever wanted a deeper understanding of gaslighting, the forms it can take on, and how expertly the narcissist can switch up masks and level up their manipulation, this book is definitely for you.

Parental Life Courses after Separation and Divorce in Europe (Life Course Research and Social Policies Book 12) by Michaela Kreyenfeld (Springer) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

This open access book assembles landmark studies on divorce and separation in European countries, and how this affects the life of parents and children. It focuses on four major areas of post-separation lives, namely (1) economic conditions, (2) parent-child relationships, (3) parent and child well-being, and (4) health. Through studies from several European countries, the book showcases how legal regulations and social policies influence parental and child well-being after divorce and separation. It also illustrates how social policies are interwoven with the normative fabric of a country. For example, it is shown that father-child contact after separation is more intense in those countries which have adopted policies that encourage shared parenting. Correspondingly, countries that have adopted these regulations are at the forefront of more egalitarian gender role attitudes. Apart from a strong emphasis on the legal and social policy context, the studies in this volume adopt a longitudinal perspective and situate post-separation behaviour and well-being in the life course. The longitudinal perspective opens up new avenues for research to understand how behaviour and conditions prior or at divorce and separation affect later behaviour and well-being. As such this book is of special appeal to scholars of family research as well as to anyone interested in the role of divorce and separation in Europe in the 21st century.

Social Exclusion in Later Life: Interdisciplinary and Policy Perspectives (International Perspectives on Aging Book 28) by Kieran Walsh (Springer) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Drawing on interdisciplinary, cross-national perspectives, this open access book contributes to the development of a coherent scientific discourse on social exclusion of older people. The book considers five domains of exclusion (services; economic; social relations; civic and socio-cultural; and community and spatial domains), with three chapters dedicated to analysing different dimensions of each exclusion domain. The book also examines the interrelationships between different forms of exclusion, and how outcomes and processes of different kinds of exclusion can be related to one another. In doing so, major cross-cutting themes, such as rights and identity, inclusive service infrastructures, and displacement of marginalised older adult groups, are considered. Finally, in a series of chapters written by international policy stakeholders and policy researchers, the book analyses key policies relevant to social exclusion and older people, including debates linked to sustainable development, EU policy and social rights, welfare and pensions systems, and planning and development. The book's approach helps to illuminate the comprehensive multidimensionality of social exclusion, and provides insight into the relative nature of disadvantage in later life. With 77 contributors working across 28 nations, the book presents a forward-looking research agenda for social exclusion amongst older people, and will be an important resource for students, researchers and policy stakeholders working on ageing.

What Is a Family?: Answers from Early Modern Japan by Mary Elizabeth Berry (University of California Press) (9 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. What Is a Family? explores the histories of diverse households during the Tokugawa period in Japan (1603-1868). The households studied here differ in locale and in status -- from samurai to outcaste, peasant to merchant -- but what unites them is life within the social order of the Tokugawa shogunate. The circumstances and choices that made one household unlike another were framed, then as now, by prevailing laws, norms, and controls on resources. These factors led the majority to form stem families, which are a focus of this volume. The essays in this book draw on rich sources -- population registers, legal documents, personal archives, and popular literature -- to combine accounts of collective practices (such as the adoption of heirs) with intimate portraits of individual actors (such as a murderous wife). They highlight the variety and adaptability of households that, while shaped by a shared social order, do not conform to any stereotypical version of a Japanese family.

This handbook seeks to help the church take a significant step forward in its care for those who have been abused. Working in tandem with the Church Cares resources and videos, this handbook brings together leading evangelical trauma counselors, victim advocates, social workers, attorneys, batterer interventionists, and survivors to equip pastors and ministry leaders for the appropriate initial responses to a variety of abuse scenarios in churches, schools, or ministries. Though the most comprehensive training is experienced by using this handbook and the videos together, readers who may be unable to access the videos can use this handbook as a stand-alone resource.

Oops! The 9 Ways We Screw Up Our Toddlers by Michelle Smith (The S5 Publishing Group) (46 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Becoming a parent is a scary thing. Even more scary when we see how some of the kids around us act. We are determined that our babies will not grow up and display those same ugly behaviors! But the first time we're fending off a nasty tantrum in the bookstore, we begin to doubt our resolve. Oops! takes you through the top nine reasons that kids act rotten. It all begins with the parents! From spoiling to hovering, not allowing kids to gain independence and learn how to work through problems makes them whiny, dependent, and disrespectful. As young adults, this leads to an inability to navigate school, build healthy relationships, and become responsible wage earners. (Live at home until you're 35 - no big deal!) Oops teaches you what parental behaviors to avoid and how to raise a happy, well-adjusted little person!

31 Days of Psalms: Revealing God's Heart by Ailie Baumann (89 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

The picture of God as a loving father may for some be a puzzle especially given that religion has painted God as a diety similar to Zeus waiting on the edge of his seat to raid a shower of lightning bolts to put us in our place. Or, we want to believe that God is indeed an incredible God of love yet, we wonder if he really loves us or sees us as worthy. However, God even in his majesty and might is a God of lavish love whose heart is turned towards you in devotion. For this purpose, I created 31 Days of Psalms - Revealing God's Heart. I wanted to draw you, the reader, into a deeper understanding of God's lavish love towards you, and the truth that he is intricately involved in the everyday moments of your life. Here you will find thirty-one Psalms and verses to meditate on and include in your daily time with God. In many ways, it is akin to a devotional book. Join me and a variety of other passionate Jesus writers as we explore the book of Psalms together.
