Please Don't Tell
Author: Emma J. Justes
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426786395
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
“I’ve never told a soul, and you have to promise not to tell anybody.” “Pastor, I wanted you to know before we tell the kids, just in case they come to you.” “I’m so happy. Yes, finally, I’m pregnant. I just had to tell someone.” “Yes, it's terrible, but am I going to explain it to our friends here at church?” People need trusted persons as sounding boards and confidants. Not many weeks go by that someone does not confide a secret to a church leader, whether pastor, youth director, church secretary, choir director, or board member. While pastors have a unique role when it comes to confidentiality, listening to secrets is something that every church leader does. But there are both privileges and responsibilities in reporting, discerning the truth, and helping people bear the deep sins or temper the anger that threatens to overflow.

Secret Sin

Pages : 131
Book Description
Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion was written because abortion is one of the last great secret sins that remains "in the closet." And because the Church hasn't been aware of the magnitude of this secret sin or how it affects those it touches, the Church has done little or nothing to help these people suffering silently in their midst to find healing in Christ. This book was written to pull back the curtain giving those within the Church an inside look into the world of the post-abortive Christian with the intent of spurring them on to begin reaching out to these hurting people with the compassion of Christ.

Pages : 256
Book Description
Two couples, two unhappy spouses—one shocking solution... Five years into her happy marriage, Geneva Mayfield is devastated to find that things have taken a turn. Her husband, Johnny, is suddenly hard to reach, distant, and works late too often for Geneva not to be suspicious. Is it because she’s been pressuring him about having a baby? Feeling lonely and neglected, Geneva bonds with Samuel Owens, a colleague who is having marital trouble of his own. Soon, their relationship blossoms into an uncontrollable affair. Bored with her husband, Samuel, and dead set against having a child with him, Vivana Owens is biding her time until she’s ready to leave—and she’s spending it with Johnny Mayfield. It’s just a fling—until Vivana becomes obsessed with Johnny, especially once he tries to win back his wife. But affairs don’t end easy—and soon one of the unfaithfuls will end up dead, one will end up in jail, and one just might get away with murder... “Readers will enjoy the twist and turns in Hickman’s tale, which has a definite soap opera vibe.” —Library Journal

Pages : 372
Book Description
Eugie Rose works at her father's drug store, jerking sodas with her best friend, Reed. In 1950s America, undercurrents of racial unrest are just beginning to rise to the surface. Will they come between those Eugie loves? It all starts the day Reed kisses Eugie's hand. In that emotional moment, he tells her an awful secret about a mistake his daddy made and can't fix. That prompts Eugie to share a secret about her mama. In the space of a heartbeat, their relationship changes from bickering buddies to smitten confidants. Jerking Sodas and Keeping Secrets highlights Reed and Eugie's shifting relationship when their newfound connection is threatened by a duo of drug dealers who choose Rose Pharmacy as their drug drop. A subtle storm rides in on a pair of brutal crimes. On the outskirts of town, two women are murdered. Teenage curiosity sucks Reed and Eugie into the clandestine investigation. Things they witness and experience that autumn shove them out of their nest of innocence, into a turbulent flight toward adulthood. Eugie and Reed can't tell anyone they're mired in the devilish details of two murders. They're unofficial deputies, sworn to secrecy by none other than the town sheriff himself. Mary Magee's suspenseful novel draws on her own youth spent behind the soda fountain of her family's drug store and beautifully depicts the adventures of two adolescents Jerking Sodas and Keeping Secrets.

School Shootings
Author: Nils Böckler
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146145526X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
School shootings are a topic of research in a variety of different disciplines—from psychology, to sociology to criminology, pedagogy, and public health—each with their own set of theories. Many of these theories are logically interconnected, while some differ widely and seem incompatible with each other, leading to divergent results about potential means of prevention. In this innovative work, leading researchers on the topic of school shootings introduce their findings and theoretical concepts in one combined systematic volume. The contributions to this work highlight both the complementary findings from different fields, as well as cases where they diverge or contradict each other. The work is divided into four main sections: an overview of current theoretical approaches and empirical models; application of these theories to international cases, including Columbine (USA), Emsdetten (Germany), and Tuusula (Finland); a critique of the influence of the media, both in the portrayals of past events and its effect on future events; and finally an overview of existing models for prevention and intervention, and measures of their success. The result is a comprehensive source for current research on school shootings, and will provide a direction for future research.
