Stone Thrower
Author: Laurie D. Fisher
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098099591
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
As the days and times that we live in grow more and more evil, we, who profess to be Christians or Christ-like, can learn from God's Word how to be a stone thrower of the God-kind like David and not a stone thrower like the teachers of the law and the religious Pharisees who tried to trap Jesus into saying something incriminating so that they could bring charges against him. David was a stone thrower of the God-kind, and in the eyes of man, he looked insignificant but his heart having been tested and tried was found to be undivided and loyal and he was willing and obedient to fight for God's righteous cause, defeating the enemy of God. "For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth (eretz,) to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him" (2 Chronicles 16:9 HNV). God is looking for these stone throwers of a God-kind who he can show himself strong in and through in these last days. They are God-seekers, God-lovers, who are humble, willing, loyal, faithful, and courageous. They are obediently led by his Spirit to fulfill God's plan, always making their boast in the Lord and giving all the glory to God. Through this book, you will see the process that David went through in preparing him to fight for God's righteous cause. I strongly believe that as you read this book, you will receive understanding that everything in life that you have been through was not for your demise and how God can turn it all around and use it for his good to prepare you for his great exploits in these last days. My prayer for you is that your heart will be stirred to believe that perhaps "you-yes, you-are a stone thrower of the God-kind in the making."

Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning
Author: Laurie Knis-Matthews
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100096552X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning (MMCR) provides occupational therapy practitioners with a systematic approach to develop their clinical reasoning skills during the evaluation and intervention process when collaborating with persons served across multiple practice locations. The three core constructs of person, environment, and occupation lay the foundation for practitioners to compartmentalize information from selected evaluations, determine relevant intervention priorities, implement occupation-based intervention plans, and interpret successful outcomes. This book, influenced by these constructs, the practice framework, and accreditation standards for academic preparedness, provides the reader with the foundational information on how to apply the core constructs using a MMCR systematic approach for evaluation and intervention. Within the chapters are a variety of instructional methods, interviews with practitioners of various levels of experience, and case study examples. Clinical reasoning guidesheets are presented to assist the reader to follow the MMCR clinical reasoning process in terms of evaluation findings, application of frame of reference (FOR)/practice models, intervention strategies, and documentation. Occupational therapy students and practitioners will be provided with the foundational skills to systematically think about and apply the steps of the clinical reasoning process, starting with a person’s evaluation through the completion of the intervention plan.
