"Ginny Collins has never run away from anything -- not her complicated family of origin, and not her lonely marriage. But when an old postcard falls out of her mother-in-law's photo album, Ginny is overtaken with the need to do just that. Ginny quickly packs up a suitcase and camping trailer and drives away from her grown children, her forty-year marriage to a husband who can't even heat up his own fries. As the miles fall away behind her, she starts to examine everything she's held true. Is the life she's living the only one available to her? Are the dreams she cast aside long ago still waiting to be realized? When she leaves her home behind, will she also be able to shed her unhappiness and regrets? Ginny's impulsive decision begins a search she never anticipated, and she starts to uncover the truth she's worked so hard to ignore. The Way I Feel is a powerful exploration of women's longing for more."--

Pregnancy is a fantastic time to evaluate your spiritual walk as you contemplate the challenges of childbirth and parenthood. Start your spiritual preparation and journey by examining what the Bible says about pregnancy and birth. Why does the Bible compare salvation to birth? Jesus referred to salvation as being "born again" when He was teaching Nicodemus. The Lord helps us understand spiritual rebirth by comparing it to physical birth. Conception, pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and the newborn all have parallels in the spiritual transformation of being born again.This unique Christian pregnancy devotional explores the truths of this beautiful analogy in 40 devotions. Each devotion has a thought of the day to give you inspirations for prayer, spiritual growth, and practical information for childbirth preparation from a Certified Nurse-Midwife. Full-color illustrations make this devotional a lovely keepsake. It also includes a space to write your notes and prayers after each devotion. This devotional is a blessing not only to expecting parents but also to others who want a deeper scriptural understanding of the New Birth.

The state is increasingly experienced as both intrusive and neglectful, particularly by those living in poverty, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. Against this tense background, this innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children’s well-being and safety. Building on the ideas in the best-selling Re-imagining child protection and drawing together a wide range of social theorists and disciplines, the book: • Challenges existing notions of child protection, revealing their limits; • Ensures that the harms children and families experience are explored in a way that acknowledges the social and economic contexts in which they live; • Explains how the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilised and practices of co-production adopted; • Places ethics and human rights at the centre of everyday conversations and practices.

In recent years, new areas of biology, especially epigenetics and neuroscience, have enthralled the public imagination. They have been used as powerful arguments for developing social policy in a particular direction, from early intervention in the lives of disadvantaged children to seeking ''biomarkers'' as identifiers of criminality. This timely book, written by leading commentators, critically examines the capabilities and limitations of these biotechnologies, exploring their implications for policy and practice. The book will enable social scientists, policy makers, practitioners and interested general readers to understand how the new biologies of epigenetics and neuroscience have increasingly influenced the fields of family policy, mental health, child development and criminal justice. The book will facilitate much needed debate about what makes a good society and how best to build one. It also draws attention to the ways that the uncertainties of the original science are lost in their translation into the everyday world of practice and policy.

The Memory Chair explores the bonds of family, loss and the devastating, multigenerational effects of racism.

Why has the language of the child and of child protection become so hegemonic? What is lost and gained by such language? Who is being protected, and from what, in a risk society? Given that the focus is overwhelmingly on those families who are multiply deprived, do services reinforce or ameliorate such deprivations? And is it ethical to remove children from their parents in a society riven by inequalities? This timely book challenges a child protection culture that has become mired in muscular authoritarianism towards multiply deprived families. It calls for family-minded humane practice where children are understood as relational beings, parents are recognized as people with needs and hopes and families as carrying extraordinary capacities for care and protection. The authors, who have over three decades of experience as social workers, managers, educators and researchers in England, also identify the key ingredients of just organizational cultures where learning is celebrated. This important book will be required reading for students on qualifying and post-qualifying courses in child protection, social workers, managers, academics and policy makers.

Providing structure for thinking seriously about worship as a part of Christian faith and experience, Foundations of Christian Worship addresses the question, what is Christian worship and why do Christians worship as they do? Beginning with an overview of the theological, biblical, historical, and anthropological foundations of Christian worship, Susan J. White then turns to discussing its components--prayer, creeds, music, time, ritual, and art. Later, she delves into the nourishment of the Christian life and the major worship events throughout the human life cycle. Finally, she discusses contemporary challenges to Christian worship and concludes with case studies for further exploration. With helpful appendixes and a glossary of liturgical terms, Susan White''s Foundations of Christian Worship is an excellent primer for seminary students and ministers early in their careers.

Taylor and White, lecturers in social work at the U. of Manchester, UK, examine how professionals in health and welfare settings make sense of and process cases. In the current policy climate, with its emphasis on performance indicators, practitioners have become accustomed to evaluating and justifying how they make use of knowledge. But Taylor and White argue that such quality- assurance methods "leave the messy business of categorization or `diagnosis'' unexplored." They urge instead a refocusing of ideas about reflexive practice that draws on research on argument, persuasion, and the powerful consequences of words and language. The authors explore how knowledge is used in professional practice as well as how it is made in everyday encounters. Distributed by Taylor and Francis.
