Book Description
The Christian religion is the religion of hope. There are many references in the New Testament concerning this hope. Hope is defined as “desire with expectation of obtaining what is desired.” Desire alone is not hope. We may desire the gift of a million dollars, but we certainly cannot expect it. Expectation alone is not hope. We may expect trials and tribulations (John 16:33), but we do not desire them. But where there is desire and expectation there is hope; and the Christian hope burning brightly within us is necessary for successful Christian living (Hebrews 6:18-19). Heaven, with all of its bliss and grandeur, is the hope of the Christian. We ought to desire it and expect it. I hope this message of Hope finds a lodging place in your life.

Self-Study and Diversity
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9087901151
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Self-study and Diversity is a book about self-study of teaching and teacher education with equity and access as focal issues of practice. Chapters in this book have a shared orientation to diversity grounded in the acknowledgement that educators have a responsibility to address equity and access issues inherent in teaching. To that end, individual chapters address such areas of diversity as race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and power, as well as broader areas of social justice, multiculturalism, and ways of knowing. Even though the focus in a chapter may be on one particular dimension of diversity, the dilemmas and responses of a teacher educator, elicited through self-study, can apply well beyond that immediate context. This broadens the appeal of the book beyond the self-study community and beyond specific issues of diversity, to people interested in teaching in general and in the process of improving practice. An additional strength of this book is the inclusion in each chapter of information regarding the use of particular strategies, both for self-study and for teaching for diversity. A separate index of these suggested research and teaching practices will direct the reader to specific chapters.

Ex’s & Oh’s
Author: J.K. Nation
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 197365959X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Going through a divorce with children is like learning to dance in a mine field and expecting not to get hurt. Ex’s & Oh’s takes you through the journey of Parental Alienation, giving you the tools needed to find joy, healing, and restoration in the darkest times. Imagine if there were a manual or a guide that could help you avoid the mines and still learn how to dance again. Ex’s & Oh’s is that type of manual, allowing you to take a different perspective on your new reality and understand how to live again. Parental Alienation or Parental Interference (as referred to in the legal system) can be the darkest element in a divorce proceeding that often cuts off parents and extended family members from their children or grandchildren. The process leads to depression, financial despair, and in some cases even suicide. Parental Alienation becomes an invisible prison, crossing all ethnic, religious, and gender lines, and is the recipe for the destruction of the family. The goal for Ex’s & Oh’s is to bring life, freedom, and restoration to individuals and families impacted by Parental Alienation.
