Devil, Don't Touch My Stuff

ISBN: 9780940763043

Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
The inspiration for this book came from my son, Stephen. While with us on a ministry trip, he unpacked all his toys on some hotel shelves, placing them neatly in a row. Holding his sheriff's badge in his hand, he proudly called to my wife, "Mommy, do you know what this badge means?" Then he boldly stated, as he carefully propped the badge on the shelf in front of his toys, "This means, don't touch my stuff!"Do you know what your "stuff" is? It's your family, your money, your goods, your house, your health, and anything else that belongs to you. This book was written so adult believers could also grasp the vital concept of the authority Jesus gave us over Satan and his kingdom - the authority that allows us to say, "Devil, don't touch my stuff!"

Author: Richard Lakeman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000257630
Category : Medical

Book Description
Introducing Mental Health Nursing offers a systematic overview of both the science and the art of caring for people experiencing mental health problems. It addresses the attitudes, knowledge and skills required to provide care for service users across all health-care settings, from specialist mental health services to general hospitals and community care. The authors place the service user at the centre of all aspects of mental health care and emphasise the importance of the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of good mental health nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on the role of the nurse as an intrinsic member of the mental health team, and nurses are encouraged to think critically about the perspectives that they bring to their practice. The second edition has been fully revised and updated, with increased focus on Indigenous social and emotional well-being, as well as two new chapters on Recovery and Cultural Safety. A must-have book for undergraduate nursing students, new graduates and professionals changing specialties or simply wishing to refresh their mental health nursing knowledge. 'This is a brave and dignified text - beautifully written and conceived and given the current texts available - a must for any serious undergraduate nursing program in an Australian university.' - David Buchanan, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom 'I recommend this text to all students of nursing, whether you intend to pursue a career in this speciality or if you simply desire to provide the best care possible in any field of practice.' - Associate Professor Stephen Elsom RN PhD, Director, Centre for Psychiatric Nursing, The University of Melbourne

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The author has always remembered an incident that occurred during on of the many artillery swing operations. These operations involved two guns in fire support of Special Forces approximately 100 Montagnard positioned along the Cambodian border. The normal artillery battery comprised of six guns positioned in a group to produce overlapping explosive power. However, during these operations, only two guns would be sent out as fire support. The guns and crew along with the Special Forces Cadre would helicoptered out and dropped on a hill (Landing Zone) LZ and remain in place for weeks or months depending upon the situation. The incidences that most haunted the author occurred during the Siege of Special Forces Camp Bu Prang along the Cambodian border. It was these incidents that kept the author always wondering what the meaning of the situation, and how that applied in his life. The culmination to this quest for the meaning happened forty years after the events of that time and inspired the author to write down his experiences and the epiphany about that meaning. The book is a reflection on the author’s experiences with the realization that God has always been with him throughout his life.
