Let Me Sow Light
Treatment for depression has come a long way, but often left out of the equation are the devastating effects depression can have on a marriage. The feelings of alienation, guilt and anger can be overwhelming. Authors Amy Viets and Bernadette Stankard have both lived with a depressed spouse, and they offer this book as a source of support for the pain that spouses may feel as they watch their loved ones struggle with depression. In addition to drawing from their own experiences, they have used examples from other people who have first-hand knowledge of depression in a spouse to address issues such as: Depression's effect on finances, Depression's effect on faith, The challenges of treatment, The importance of self-care, Life after depression.
Prayer & Multiple Intelligences
In clear, insightful prose, rich with real-life examples, Stankard discusses the multiple intelligences and how they enable readers to pray "as they are" and so develop a deeper friendship and intimacy with the God whose love transforms them.
Our Different Gifts
Our Students Know, Understand, and Learn About the World in Many Different Ways, and the most effective religious educators know how to tap into these various "intelligences" in the classroom. In this enlightening and practical book, Bernadette Stankard shows how each kind of intelligence is a "spark" of the presence of God in us that can awaken our potential. She shows how surprisingly easy it is to integrate these intelligences into faith formation to make learning a pleasure for students and teachers of all ages, backgrounds, and gifts. Here you'll find innovative classroom activities to help you teach about prayer, the sacraments, the church year, and more to those with every combination of giftedness, from visual-spatial to interpersonal. Using the multiple intelligences theory in religious education can awaken and enhance each learner's unique gifts for the good of the whole church community and the world. Book jacket.

I Don't Know What to Believe
Americans—especially young people—are more un-churched and less affiliated with organized religion than at any other time in our history. I Don’t Know What to Believe addresses that decline and presents an insightful examination of authentic spirituality for those who desire answers, guidance, and perspective regarding an important aspect of their lives: their beliefs, and relationship to, a higher power. Rabbi Ben Kamin addresses questions he has received from real people over the thirty years of his ministry, such as: Why does my parents’ religion have to define me? Am I God’s child even if I don’t go to religious services? Does scripture include me in its ideology regardless of how much scripture I know? How do I follow my own spirituality while still respecting my parents’ traditions? Ben Kamin is the award-winning author of ten books and is a scholar on the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He has led congregations in Toronto, New York, Cleveland, and San Diego since his ordination in 1978.
