Resilience in Troubled Times
We sometimes face tragedy, natural disasters, health concerns, relationship issues, work difficulties, or school problems in life. Resilience is how well you adapt to these events and anything that life throws at you. The Covid-19 Pandemic is an excellent example of challenging times where things happen that are seemingly out of your control. Loved ones get sick or pass away, governments impose rules and regulations that require you to do something that you usually would not do, children need to stay home for online schooling, and an adult working from home becomes a norm. These are all things that may be out of your control. How do you deal with them, adapt quickly, and embrace the changes ...
British Literature and Spirituality
This book reflects the current state of research in the field of the spiritual in British literature, where spirituality is understood as a culturally-determined, universal phenomenon or a factuality of humanity, consisting of the living apprehension of the 'Sacred' during rare gratuitous moments of illumination. With critical essays by scholars working in various disciplines (English studies, music, the arts, psychology, theology, etc.), the book explores a corpus of encoded narratives of - as well as reflections on - the 'Sacred' in British literature, from the Late Middle Ages to the present. Multi-disciplinary in nature and interdisciplinary in method, British Literature and Spirituality illustrates the hermeneutic potential of readings that transcend the disciplinary boundaries of spiritual writings.

The Dream Recorder
The Dream Recorder is an exploration into the realm that our subconscious mind knows very well, where the secrets of the universe are locked away in the dream world that, until now, has been shrouded in mystery. A neuroscientist invents a device that allows the actual recording and viewing of dreamt images and sounds. In order to test his creation, he enlists the aid of two reputable psychologists. What they discover is that our dreams, which are usually forgotten almost immediately upon waking, are rife with clues about our past, present, and future. The results are a frightening series of revelations: that there are no coincidences, that all things are connected, and that the monsters we thought were confined to the imaginary world are very real and much more sinister than we could ever imagine.

Complementarian Spirituality
In this work Dr. Brand seeks to contribute a unique complementarian expression of Reformed spirituality, in order to stimulate a spiritual renewal in the contemporary Reformed tradition. Using a distinctively feminine approach, in a theological arena largely monopolized by male theologians, the author anchors corporate and personal spirituality upon the unio mystica, so returning to a Calvinistic appreciation of the Christian life. Grounding Reformed spirituality on the "marital union" between Christ and the church, a corporate portrait of the church is explored. Critical of the neglect of women in Reformed church life and practice, the author calls the tradition to reform; proposing an intentional complementarian use of women that can practically and spiritually profit the whole church body. The book culminates with an initial tracing of a "Reformed feminine spirituality" which is pastorally relevant to women, as well as encouraging a renewed experiential enjoyment of Christ for both men and women.
Human Dependency and Christian Ethics
Dependency is a central aspect of human existence, as are dependent care relations: relations between caregivers and young children, persons with disabilities, or frail elderly persons. In this book, Sandra Sullivan-Dunbar argues that many prominent interpretations of Christian love either obscure dependency and care, or fail to adequately address injustice in the global social organization of care. Sullivan-Dunbar engages a wide-ranging interdisciplinary conversation between Christian ethics and economics, political theory, and care scholarship, drawing on the rich body of recent feminist work reintegrating dependency and care into the economic, political, and moral spheres. She identifies essential elements of a Christian ethic of love and justice for dependent care relations in a globalized care economy. She also suggests resources for such an ethic ranging from Catholic social thought, feminist political ethics of care, disability and vulnerability studies, and Christian theological accounts of the divine-human relation.
Self-Reflection
How often do you take time to reflect? When do you feel safe enough to be vulnerable? Can you be completely honest with yourself about what you think and feel? Sandra Christian takes us on a fascinating journey in this book. A woman of mixed ethnical origin, she was ‘classified’ at birth as Colored/Indian under the Apartheid regime in South Africa where she tried to find peace, despite being 'different. She later flees to Europe as a young mother where, under great psychological pressure, she establishes herself and succeeds in creating a life for herself and her son. Only, it comes at a cost! In this book, she reflects on numerous aspects of her life that have made her the woman she is today. She encourages you, the reader, though poignant questions, to stand still and seriously connect with your inner-self, helping you to understand why you do the things you do, and showing you how to create the amazing life you desire.
Creativity for 21st Century Skills
VERY practical, on target for schools today—good balance of theory with anecdotal connections.” “At first I was worried about the time involved. I discovered when given 5 minutes . . . the time is a continuation to their work in progress. Realizing that creativity does not have to consume large chunks of time is more meaningful than tokens.” “I like the tone of the writing. It feels like there is a conversation going on.” “I like the stories of famous people and how their creativity influenced and changed their lives.” CREATIVITY FOR 21ST CENTURY SKILLS describes what many creative people really do when they create. It focuses on the practical applications of a theoretical ap...
The Fiction of Hortense Calisher
"Hortense Calisher is the author of eleven novels, six collections of stories or novellas, and two memoirs. The publication of her first book of short stories, In the Absence of Angels (1951), marked the debut of an important writer. For the past forty years her works have been consistently and widely reviewed. Calisher has long been celebrated (and censured) as a "writer's writer," a consummate stylist with an impressive range of subjects. Despite that range, however, Calisher's works possess a thematic coherence that has eluded critical notice. For more than forty years, she has spun out variations on the motif of rites of passage and of extradition. Her protagonists may yearn for stasis, ...
