Companion to: Heaven: The logic of eternal joy (2002).
The history of the moral argument for the existence of God is a fascinating tale. Like any good story, it is full of twists and unexpected turns, compelling conflicts, memorable and idiosyncratic characters, both central and ancillary players.

This book demonstrates some of the unique ways in which therapists can help complex and vulnerable clients considered "hard-to-reach", using arts media and play. Using a wealth of case studies, contributors describe their unique therapeutic attempts to reach clients who, for various reasons, seem unreachable. These moving therapeutic journeys are described in a phenomenological, auto-ethnographic way by the therapists themselves, as a series of "snapshot" glimpses into the therapy room. The therapists describe how combinations of art, play, metaphor, and imagination have helped them navigate the complex pathways to reach their clients. Each chapter is fully supported by the contributing therapists' own selection of theoretical ideas and analysis. The book will help therapists consider innovate creative approaches in their work with clients who have been deemed too complex to work with in individual therapy, emphasising the importance of play and arts resources in helping them achieve this.
This book contains 70 role-plays in 12 separate categories to provide both existing professionals and academic instructors the examples needed to train individuals to address conflicts. Categories covered include divorce mediation, community mediation, settlement mediation, negotiation, facilitation, public policy debate, estate planning mediation, pastoral mediation; police negotiation, gang intervention, crisis intervention training, international mediation, and international conflict intervention.

Framed by Who? is a book about a young man name Jerod. Jerod was framed for a crime that landed him in jail. He was only sixteen years old. If found guilty, his dream of becoming a police officer would never be realized. His best friend, Marshall, and several other close friends knew he was not capable of breaking and entering a home and brutally beating up an elderly lady so badly she was hospitalized. Incriminating evidence found at the scene of the crime pointed directly to Jerod. Because of the nature of the crime, Jerod was charged as an adult. He was processed as an adult: arrested, booked, arraigned, and had a preliminary hearing. Thanks to some very good friends who believed in him, they proved his innocence. Jerod did not have to suffer through a final trial. Jerod did have his enemies. This book keeps you guessing who his enemies were and their motives. If you are looking for a good mystery to read, this is it.
