Read Or Download The Blessing by Nancy Mitford Full Pages.

The Blessing is one of Nancy Mitford?s most personal books, a wickedly funny story that asks whether love can survive the clash of cultures.When Grace Allingham, a na?ve young Englishwoman, goes to live in France with her dashingly aristocratic husband Charles-Edouard, she finds herself overwhelmed by the bewilderingly foreign cuisine and the shockingly decadent manners and mores of the French. But it is the discovery of her husband?s French notion of marriage?which includes a permanent mistress and a string of casual affairs?that sends Grace packing back to London with their ?blessing,? young Sigismond, in tow. While others urge the couple to reconcile, little Sigi?convinced that it will improve his chances of being spoiled?applies all his juvenile cunning to keeping his parents apart. Drawing on her own years in Paris and her long affair with a Frenchman, Mitford elevates cultural and romantic misunderstandings to the heights of comedy.

Read Or Download A Place for Weakness: Preparing Yourself for Suffering by Michael S. Horton Full Pages.

In a world of hype, we may buy into the idea that, through Jesus, we?ll be healthier and wealthier as well as wiser. So what happens when we become ill, or depressed, or bankrupt? Did we do something wrong? Has God abandoned us? As a child, Michael Horton would run up the down escalator, trying to beat it to the top. As Christians, he notes, we sometimes seek God the same way, believing we can climb to him under our own steam. We can?t, which is why we are blessed that Jesus descends to us, especially during times of trial. In A Place for Weakness, formerly titled Too Good to Be True, Horton exposes the pop culture that sells Jesus like a product for health and happiness and reminds us that our lives often lead us on difficult routes we must follow by faith. This book offers a series of powerful readings that demonstrate how, through every type of earthly difficulty, our Father keeps his promises from Scripture and works all things together for our good.

Read Or Download Spiritual Assessment in Healthcare Practice by Wilfred McSherry Full Pages.

There has been a groundswell of interest in and recognition of the importance the spiritual part of a person's life has to play in coping with/recovery from illness as well as in the attainment and maintenance of health, wellbeing and quality of life. Addressing the spiritual part of life is now a key part of the health care professional's job but this raises the question of how this part of life can be assessed and catered for and how health care professionals might be equipped for this task. Wilf McSherry and Linda Ross's new edited text tackles this very issue with contributors from different disciplines (including nursing, medicine, theology and chaplaincy) and countries (UK, USA, Malta) offering their own perspectives on this important part of care. Each chapter, therefore, has its own unique style but is concerned with one outcome, to see spiritual assessment and care as an integral part of holistic care whatever the setting.

Read Or Download The Great Caliphs: The Golden Age of the 'Abbasid Empire by Amira K. Bennison Full Pages.

In this accessibly written history, Amira K. Bennison contradicts the common assumption that Islam somehow interrupted the smooth flow of Western civilization from its Graeco-Roman origins to its more recent European and American manifestations. Instead, she places Islamic civilization in the longer trajectory of Mediterranean civilizations and sees the ?Abbasid Empire (750?1258 CE) as the inheritor and interpreter of Graeco-Roman traditions.At its zenith the ?Abbasid caliphate stretched over the entire Middle East and part of North Africa, and influenced Islamic regimes as far west as Spain. Bennison?s examination of the politics, society, and culture of the ?Abbasid period presents a picture of a society that nurtured many of the ?civilized? values that Western civilization claims to represent, albeit in different premodern forms: from urban planning and international trade networks to religious pluralism and academic research. Bennison?s argument counters the common Western view

Read Or Download Bipersonal Psychodrama: Its Techniques, Therapists, and Clients by ROSA CUKIER Full Pages.

This book is aimed at psychodramatists and psychotherapists in general, but especially those just starting out in psychotherapy, complete with tips and advice. In easy-to-follow language, the author addresses some theoretical questions related to bipersonal psychodrama; for example, the idea that the "psychodrama a deux", as Moreno called this modality of psychotherapy, isn't a minor therapeutic approach or necessarily just a preparation for group therapy, as many authors presume. For Rosa Cukier, bipersonal psychodrama is a very rich and adaptable tool, but it demands creative innovations and additions to classical group psychodrama techniques. She uses cushions or other objects from around the room to play complementary roles, and then the use of the classical technique. She defines each technique, aims to clarify the directions, and gives examples of their correct usage following Morenian psychodrama from the warming up phase, through the dramatization, and on until the final
