No Place Left to Bury the Dead

EVERY DAY in Africa, approximately 7,000 men, women, and children are erased from the face of this planet by the devastating AIDS virus that -- even after more than two and a half decades -- continues to wreak havoc around the globe, especially in underdeveloped nations. No Place Left to Bury the Dead dares to go where media, governments, and ordinary individuals in the West seldom venture -- face-to-face with fellow humans suffering in the shadow of our collective ignorance and neglect.

Disabled Women and Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is encountered by disabled women more frequently than non-disabled women, yet disabled women are less likely to receive appropriate services, and there has been little research on their experiences and how this problem can be addressed. This book, drawing on the first UK national study of disabled women who have suffered domestic violence, highlights the experiences of these women, the nature of the violence perpetrated against them, and the seriousness and range of its impacts. The book draws attention to the gaps in services for disabled women and discusses how professional responses should be developed and improved, pointing to current examples of good practice. It includes first-hand accounts from disabled women and includes contributions from leading disabled women activists. This book will be important reading for students, practitioners, policymakers and academics in the fields of disability and domestic violence.

So, You Want to Get Married? (eBook)

The long-term success of a marriage depends heavily on how well spouses adjust during the early years. Getting good advice early on helps couples manage expectations and encourages them to prepare by discussing key issues. SO, YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED? consists of 12 letters that the author wrote to an engaged couple some years ago. The informal letter format provides a useful tool to share insights that are significant to young lovers who are in the process of courtship or who are engaged. The author’s sincere prayer is that these pages will touch readers’ lives in a deep and wonderful way, and serve as reminders that Jesus Christ is the Author of marriage and as such is the Way, the Truth, and the Life in this as in every area of life.

Africans and the Exiled Life

Since their early beginning in Africa as foragers, hunters and gatherers, humans have been on the move. In modern times, their movements have been compelled by geographical, economic, political, cultural, social and personal reasons. However, beginning in the second-half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century their reasons for and pattern of migration have been largely influenced by globalization. Globalization, by its very nature, cuts across virtually every aspect of the human life and human society. And especially in the United States, African immigrants are subject to the undercurrents of globalization – particularly in the areas of culture, religion, interpersonal ...
