Juniper
Author: Thomas French
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 031632440X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
A micro-preemie fights for survival in this extraordinary and gorgeously told memoir by her parents, both award-winning journalists. Juniper French was born four months early, at 23 weeks' gestation. She weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces, and her twiggy body was the length of a Barbie doll. Her head was smaller than a tennis ball, her skin was nearly translucent, and through her chest you could see her flickering heart. Babies like Juniper, born at the edge of viability, trigger the question: Which is the greater act of love -- to save her, or to let her go? Kelley and Thomas French chose to fight for Juniper's life, and this is their incredible tale. In one exquisite memoir, the authors explore the border between what is possible and what is right. They marvel at the science that conceived and sustained their daughter and the love that made the difference. They probe the bond between a mother and a baby, between a husband and a wife. They trace the journey of their family from its fragile beginning to the miraculous survival of their now thriving daughter.

...And Their Lives Were Changed
Author: M.J. Ferguson
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1685260349
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
While Jesus was on this earth, many people had personal contact with Him. They spent time walking, talking, eating, and observing His interaction with the multitudes of Palestinians. Many were healed, some were forgiven, and most were blessed with His parables. Of these, all were touched in a particular or unique way. Their reactions varied—some with love and appreciation and some with resistance and resentment. This book takes you into the possible thoughts, words, and actions of eighteen different individuals who had contact with Jesus Christ. Some of these people were mentioned in the Bible only briefly, and some were not even given names. In order to tell their stories, I have added names and some possible backgrounds. Occasionally, scenarios and events (not stated in Holy Scripture) were taken from various historians. In no place is there a contradiction to the Bible. Each chapter is the telling of his or her own story. At the end of each story, they tell you, the reader, how their lives were changed.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Over the past decade prominent fundamentalist psychologists and ministers have advised parents to return to authoritarian discipline techniques of parenting that include hitting and spanking. These practices have been challenged in Your Kids, Their Lives: A Parent's Guide to Raising Happy, Competent, Caring Children, by Malinda Jo Muzi. This author proposes that most of the information parents are getting about parenting is inaccurate or silly, and often downright harmful. In relying on the work of the most distinguished researchers in child development over the past 40 years, she directs parents toward techniques that have proven to be most advantageous to parents and children. This "how-to" book helps parents build a solid foundation of trust and respect between themselves and their children. It gives them the information they need to raise contented children who are creative and productive, and concerned about the welfare of others. A special feature of the book includes parenting experiences from the lives of prominent people, including Bill Clinton, Carly Simon, Douglas MacArthur, and Stephen Spielberg.

The Pastor's Sandal Path
Author: Father Henry C. Schmid
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1450062571
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The Pastors Sandal Path relates my envisioning of God in nature. I was privileged to grow up with my sister and five brothers on a farm where our parents instilled in us the presence of God in our daily lives, as well as in the majesty of Gods nature. My early schooling took place in a one-room country school where our fantastic teacher incorporated the beauty of God and nature in the classroom and on field trips. In the upper grades, the Dominican sisters assisted my parents in laying a solid faith foundation. After graduation, I entered St. Mary of the Lake Seminary Mundelein where my faith was deepened, my love of Jesus increased, and Gods presence in nature more keenly perceived. I hope my perceptions of God in nature will help the reader to encounter God in their ordinary experiences of life.

In Pursuit of Love
Author: Vincent J. Genovesi
Publisher: Liturgical Press
ISBN: 9780814655900
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
While retaining the basic structure of the original book, this new edition has been thoroughly updated in light of some official Catholic documents and other theological writings dealing with sexual morality that have appeared since 1986. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II's encyclicals Veritatis splendor and Evangelium vitae, and the 1986 and 1992statements of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on pastoral care of homosexuals and the issue of discrimination against them are among the more recent magisterial publications considered in this text. This edition also contains several new sections: the misuses of sex (adultery, pornography, prostitution, sexual violence); four rationales for viewing a committed love relationship as the only appropriate context for sexual intercourse; marriage as a sacrament and marital sexuality and love as embodiments of commitment, intimacy, and passion; and public policy and the civil rights of homosexuals. This edition also includes an expanded discussion of topics such as sexism, sexually transmitted diseases especially HIV/AIDS and the moral questions raised by new family-planning methods (Norplant, Depo-Provera), RU-486, postcoital hormonal interventions against pregnancy, the start of human life, and abortion. Vincent J. Genovesi, SJ, received his PhD in Christian ethics from Emory University. He is a professor at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. His articles have appeared in such journals as The Thomist, The Way, America, and Review for Religious.
