Many Voices
Author: Pamela Cooper-White
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9780800639570
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
This book is a full scale disciplinary framework for pastoral psychotherapists/pastoral counselors at intermediate and advanced levels of clinical training and also for experienced pastoral counselors and psychotherapists in professional practice. It harvests the great potential of postmodern sensibilities to help, accompany, and support individuals, couples, and families in recognizing and healing especially painful psychic wounds, and/or longstanding patterns of self-defeating relationships to self and others. Pamela Cooper-White's widely praised work, which has always integrated cutting-edge notions from the social sciences into pastoral therapy, here takes a distinctive and promising turn toward the relational and the theological. Pastoral psychotherapy, she argues, needs to find its framework in a strongly relational idea of the person, God, and health. Illustrated throughout by four key case studies, Cooper-White shows in Part 1 how multiplicity and relationality provide a dynamic and exciting way of viewing human potential and pain. In Part 2 she unfolds the practical applications of this paradigm for a strongly empathic therapeutic relationship and process.

Many Texts, Many Voices
Author: Penny Silvers
Publisher: Stenhouse Publishers
ISBN: 1571108750
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
On any given day, a visitor to Mary Shorey's classroom will find elementary students using a variety of learning tools, from books to wikis and blogs, to pose critical questions about the world and take action to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether sponsoring a book drive for victims of Hurricane Katrina, using a multimedia presentation to persuade the principal to adopt their recycling plan, or challenging a senior citizen's eviction, it's all in a day's work for Mary's students. Her young learners are becoming conscious consumers, creative thinkers, and effective communicators even while fulfilling the mandated curriculum and Common Core Standards. As Shorey and coauthor Penny Silvers write in Many Texts, Many Voices, "Critical literacy requires that the reader/consumer examine multiple perspectives and ask, 'Whose interests are being served?' and 'Whose voice is heard--or silenced?'...Rather than an addition to a lesson or curriculum, critical literacy is a way of thinking, communicating, analyzing, and living a literate life. Critical literacy also implies the possibility of taking some kind of social action in order to support a belief, make a difference, or simply help during a time of need." Always mindful of what is appropriate for young children, Shorey and Silvers continually search for opportunities to embed critical literacy and inquiry in the everyday lives of primary students. Through a rich array of rubrics, sample lessons, text sets, unit designs, and professional resources, Silvers and Shorey share their reflective practices so that all teachers can use print, visual, and digital tools to transform student learning.

The Bible's Many Voices
Author: Michael Carasik
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0827609353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The most common English translations of the Bible often sound like a single, somewhat archaic voice. In fact, the Bible is made up of many separate books composed by multiple writers in a wide range of styles and perspectives. It is, as Michael Carasik demonstrates, not a remote text reserved for churches and synagogues but rather a human document full of history, poetry, politics, theology, and spirituality. Using historic, linguistic, anthropological, and theological sources, Carasik helps us distinguish between the Jewish Bible’s voices—the mythic, the historical, the prophetic, the theological, and the legal. By articulating the differences among these voices, he shows us not just their messages and meanings but also what mattered to the authors. In these contrasts we encounter the Bible anew as a living work whose many voices tell us about the world out of which the Bible grew—and the world that it created. Listen to the author's podcast.

Many Voices, One Mission

ISBN: 145663125X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
A million souls are waiting to inspire you... For over a decade the highly acclaimed Joseph Communications books have presented a practical, refreshing, no-nonsense approach to life and spiritual evolution, examining our journey beyond physical death and also addressing this empowering moment in our here and now, the wisdom of the highly evolved spirit communicator Joseph offering a blueprint for much-needed positive change, both personally and globally. In communicating, Joseph is the spokesperson and conduit for the teachings and observations of a vast 'group soul': a commune of millions of evolved discarnate spirits deeply concerned for our wellbeing and future prospects at this critical point in our evolution. Enlightening and uplifting, Many Voices, One Mission gives voice to the viewpoints of some of the key members of that group, gathering together for the first time life-changing communications delivered over many years to Joseph's trance medium, Michael G, Reccia, and his life partner Jane. Many Voices, One Mission also offers a fascinating insight into how Michael and Jane's daily lives have been affected and shaped by the sudden and regular appearance of visitors from the spirit realities that co-exist with this one. Covering a wealth of topics including the afterlife, self help and spiritual healing and guidance, Many Voices, One Mission serves as an inspiring stand-alone volume and also as an essential companion to the Joseph Communications, offering readers personal support, a profound understanding of the human condition and dynamic, Light-infused spiritual insights to counter an increasingly materialistic and isolating age.
