Through an in-depth look at the sexual lives of real people, Different Sexual Worlds illustrates the myriad dimensions of human sexuality. Developed as a supplementary text for college-level courses, this innovative book charts the sexual development and maturation of ten men and women in order to help students gain an integrated perspective on human sexuality. Among those whose stories are told are Libby, who overcame emotionally dependent behavior and achieved a satisfying sexual identity; Ed, a gay man who lived with and eventually died from the AIDS virus; Jennifer, who chose to become a prostitute to escape a disastrous home life; and Nick, whose sexual exploration helped him grow and find the perspective he needed to be able to commit to a long-term relationship. Dick Skeen's thoughtful analysis of the unique stories contained in the book and the intriguing questions he poses for discussion make this book required reading for courses on human sexuality.
We often hear about people who find themselves drawn to another religion as they go through life. Perhaps not as often are stories about those who found atheism, especially later in life. Author Terry Grant’s Reasoning—Born-Again Christian to Atheist is his explanation of his path to congenial atheism. Raised in a mildly Christian family, he became an agnostic after finishing college. He then became a born-again Christian before marrying a Catholic. But his journey wasn’t complete. He shares how, on retirement, his experiences brought him to evaluate the phases of life and the lifetime of questions that keep appearing and the importance of reasoning. Grant explains his transition to a place of clarity, peace, and contentment for the first time in his life.

In Reasoning—Born-Again Christian to Atheist you’ll discover how his transition brought the author peace, contentment, and a clear understanding of how this process fits in today’s world and events.

"Did Jake ever say that he liked Ronnie more than you?" "He didn't need to say it, I just knew..." Leigh would not look Dylan in the eyes. "You've got a huge chip on your shoulder, Leigh." Leigh was hurt by the tone of his voice but she had to admit that he was right... "Look, don't put yourself down...ever, at least not around me. I think maybe it was my baby sister who showed me to admire girls who don't take any crap from anyone. She was stubbornly pig headed...remember my tattoo?" Leigh nodded. "Maybe that's what J...
