Devotional Poems of the heart
Author: Dr. Stewart Snook
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467061212
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This book is a collection of personal and devotional poems. They come from the author's heart. They reflect what is meaningful to him. Each poem is like a piece of the life God gave me. The slice of life that God gives is worth recording. Each poem brings out some of the practical truths of the Christian life which the reader may apply to daily life. Many of these poems often came to me when I remembered some phrase or saying that my parents or grandparents used. The poems follow this order: first, some favorite poems that I like. Then come poems on my personal life, my family life, and making decisions. Then follow poems about special friends, teachers and co-workers. Finally, I conclude with some poems on theological concepts that have intrigued me. The book is devotional in that it directs the readers' hearts to God. They include Scripture and seek to help people follow God, and see God in the everyday things of life. I trust that these lines will lead the reader to a time of reflection, prayer, spiritual decision and growth.

Pages : 135
Book Description
Are you tired of dealing with problems? Are you constantly speaking negatively? Do you understand how easy it is to curse someone or have someone curse you? Whether your problems are related to health, finances, or emotional issues, God never intended for them to defeat you – victory is possible. Do you believe that others are more important to God than you? The minister of a church I attended years ago used to say, “When I see someone being blessed I remind the Lord (and myself) I’m in the same queue!” Contained within these covers are personal, living examples, which are easy to understand and remember, so that you can adapt them to your own situations. God didn’t create us to be under the power of the enemy, but to be in fellowship with Him and live victoriously!

Parental Patrol
Author: Anthony P. Montanari
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1644267500
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Parental Patrol Identifying and Correcting Adolescent Behavior Before It Occurs By: Anthony P. Montanari This is a book that is long overdue. In the juvenile justice system, we’ve developed systems of adjudication and rehabilitation; in clinical psychology, we focus on treatment protocols and healing strategies. Nevertheless, both structures have run on parallel tracks, seldom intersecting despite their common mission of helping juveniles transition into successful, responsible, joyful adults. Until now. In Parental Patrol, Detective Montanari provides a framework for understanding and avoiding, the damaging developmental path that often leads young people to behaviors that result their involvement in both the juvenile justice and mental health systems. For the concerned parent, that path is described—with the insight and proficiency of an experienced police officer and the sensitivity and compassion of an effective therapist—through twenty aspects of learning that must be mastered if positive, problem-free emotional growth and development are to occur. The usefulness of Montanari’s work goes well beyond being a guidebook for parents. It would also be relevant and appropriate as a training tool for police and therapists seeking to bridge the gap between their professions, providing context and common ground to inform the important work that they do. -Nicholas A. Duva, Ph.D.

Routledge Handbook of Disinformation and National Security
Author: Rubén Arcos
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000908178
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
This interdisciplinary Handbook provides an in-depth analysis of the complex security phenomenon of disinformation and offers a toolkit to counter such tactics. Disinformation used to propagate false, inexact or out of context information is today a frequently used tool of political manipulation and information warfare, both online and offline. This Handbook evidences a historical thread of continuing practices and modus operandi in overt state propaganda and covert information operations. Further, it attempts to unveil current methods used by propaganda actors, the inherent vulnerabilities they exploit in the fabric of democratic societies and, last but not least, to highlight current practices in countering disinformation and building resilient audiences. The Handbook is divided into six thematic sections. The first part provides a set of theoretical approaches to hostile influencing, disinformation and covert information operations. The second part looks at disinformation and propaganda in historical perspective offering case study analysis of disinformation, and the third focuses on providing understanding of the contemporary challenges posed by disinformation and hostile influencing. The fourth part examines information and communication practices used for countering disinformation and building resilience. The fifth part analyses specific regional experiences in countering and deterring disinformation, as well as international policy responses from transnational institutions and security practitioners. Finally, the sixth part offers a practical toolkit for practitioners to counter disinformation and hostile influencing. This handbook will be of much interest to students of national security, propaganda studies, media and communications studies, intelligence studies and International Relations in general.
