A first-of-its-kind study of Protestant youth ministers reveals the hopes, frustrations, and effectiveness of today’s youth workers.Of the 7,000 youth workers assembled in 1996 under Atlanta’s Georgia Dome, a sample of 2,130 full-time youth ministers from dozens of Protestant denominations and parachurch organizations answered a battery of exhaustive, deliberate questions covering:What they liked best about youth ministryWhat particularly pleased them in their work with youthWhat they found most encouraging or discouragingTheir biggest obstacle to an effective youth ministryTheir biggest concern in youth ministryTheir answers revealed a dedicated group of professionals, concerned a out the students in their ministries, but troubled with a variety of perplexing issues. And their answers form the backbone of Youth Ministry That Transforms, a comprehensive analysis of this groundbreaking study (funded by the Lilly Endowment) focusing on the hopes, frustrations, and effectiveness of today’s youth workers.Spearheaded by Merton Strommen--one of America’s most exemplary and influential thinkers and authors in youth and family ministry--the research-writing team is joined by Karen E. Jones and Dave Rahn of Huntington (Indiana) College’s Link Institute for Faithful and Effective Youth Ministry, and acknowledged leader in the task of undergirding youth ministry with a research base. These three deliver thorough analysis and sound interpretation regarding the state of youth ministry at the dawn of the 21st century.Youth Ministry That Transforms belongs on the desks and in the classrooms of all who are concerned with this developing profession, including denominational and parachurch leadership, professors, youth ministry students, and thoughtful youth workers themselves. It is also an insightful resource for any who want to understand youth ministers and their profession: senior pastors, executive pastors, and other individuals and committees charged with hiring and supervising youth workers.

Karen Jones' unique trilogy of contemporary fiction for women, based on the stories of women from the Bible, concludes in Love Letter. Grace and Chloe's lives have changed immeasurably over the last decade. Grace's talents and wisdom as a priest have been recognised and she receives a unique calling which will change her life for ever. Chloe, by contrast, discovers that there are still no easy paths through life and the decisions of various members of her family cause her to question the very bedrock of her faith. Grace and Chloe's relationship is about to be challenged to the core. Love, sex and betrayal, forgiveness and healing are once again the powerful themes in this heart-rending saga.

Originally published in 1982, Rethinking Social Inequality is a collection of essays looking at the breadth of contemporary work in social inequality. The book focuses on inequality as a central project of sociological enquiry, and is unified by the overarching rejection of a distributional notion of inequality, in the place of a relational one. The object of the study is not the deprived social group, but the unequal social relations, which is manifested in a variety of forms. The themes addressed in this collection indicate a shift in the areas of study concerned with social inequality, rejecting class-based inequality in with that of race, gender and age.

The Complete Bible Story Book For Kids

If you want an important tool to teach your children about the wonderful Bible and all the promises it holds, keep listening! The New Testament is a clear and concise summary of the Greatest Story Ever Told, the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is written for young minds to understand and explore the main points of Jesus' birth, life, death, and ascension, as well as the rise of the Christian church. It includes explanations of the locations, culture, hard to understand figures of speech, and the external cultures surrounding his life. Parents--in a world so busy, so beautiful, so interesting, and often so confusing--some of us think that we don't have time for God. However, for those who are aware of him, we can understand the peace what a prayerful life can bring to a soul. Even the little children have daily challenges and daily choices--and imparting a love of God into their heart at an early age is a wonderful gift for a fabulous life. To a child, prayer is a natural instinct. As we raise our children to do good, to live with the principles you are teaching them, it is also important to teach them the power and importance of prayer. In this world, you represent God to a young child--giving them their needs often before they even ask. God encourages all of us to teach them that it is ultimately God who supplies all of our needs. The Bible Story Book for Kids will show you: The miracle of the immaculate conception of Mary The wondrous childhood of Jesus The friendship that Jesus had with his apostles and disciples The miracles that Jesus performed for one person or for thousands The reason that Christ had to be crucified for you and me How the early Christian church grew for both Jews and Gentiles How the power of God can still work today for anyone who believes And much more... The Bible is one of the most amazing miracles God ever performed and is written so that the youngest child to someone who studied it for his whole life can constantly find deeper and deeper levels of understanding about the love that God has for all his children. It is our hope and prayer that this book will start a journey that will last an entire lifetime of learning about God and loving him as a personal Father, to be born again as a child of God, and eventually to be with God and Jesus Christ through all eternity to come. The stories about Jesus Christ and what he did are presented in a brief, simple format, suitable to be studied with your children or read to them at night as they drift off to sleep. It will allow your children to understand that the promise of God to live a powerful, righteous life in this day and time is still available, no matter how far society degrades into confusion.

Social workers often have to handle a great deal of negativity in their working lives. This book celebrates social work practice at its most positive and influential and, in doing so, contributes to a growing literature on critical best practice. Focused on 12 unique and compelling stories of social work with older people, the authors: • provide a fresh and realistic insight into life as a social worker, and the dilemmas and difficulties that practitioners typically face • illustrate how knowledge, theory and research are integrated in professional decision-making and action • show social workers analyzing their own cases and include reflective questions to help readers formulate their own learning and thereby develop their own practice This book provides students on qualifying courses with an invaluable perspective on real life practice, and gives qualified practitioners the opportunity to reflect on and better their own practice.

Cosmopolitan Animals asks what new possibilities and permutations of cosmopolitanism can emerge by taking seriously our sharing and 'becoming-with' animals. It calls for a fresh awareness that animals are important players in cosmopolitics, and that worldliness is far from being a human monopoly.
