How many times in your life have you asked yourself, "Why me, Lord"? Asking this question may be due to amazing blessings that God has given you, or it may be due to a devastating event that has occurred in your life. One thing you need to know is that God loves you and is always there for you and will never forsake you. Through the telling of her own journey, Valerie offers insight into how you can draw closer to God when adversity strikes and have a heart of gratitude when He blesses you. Everyone's journey is different, but it is up to each one of you to seek God and allow Him to lead you down the path He has chosen for you. The plans He has for you are always better than the plans you have for yourselves. As you read this book, seek God and pray He will guide you as you walk the path He has prepared for you. Seek His will for your life, so you can become the person He desires you to be. The Lord desires an intimate relationship with you; let your guard down and accept His love and blessings.

In the wake of an unparalleled housing crisis at the end of the Second World War, Glasgow Corporation rehoused the tens of thousands of private tenants who were living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in unimproved Victorian slums. Adopting the designs, the materials and the technologies of modernity they built into the sky, developing high-rise estates on vacant sites within the city and on its periphery. This book uniquely focuses on the people's experience of this modern approach to housing, drawing on oral histories and archival materials to reflect on the long-term narrative and significance of high-rise homes in the cityscape. It positions them as places of identity formation, intimacy and well-being. With discussions on interior design and consumption, gender roles, children, the elderly, privacy, isolation, social networks and nuisance, Glasgow examines the connections between architectural design, planning decisions and housing experience to offer some timely and prescient observations on the success and failure of this very modern housing solution at a moment when high flats are simultaneously denigrated in the social housing sector while being built afresh in the private sector. Glasgow is aimed at an academic readership, including postgraduate students, scholars and researchers. It will be of interest to social, cultural and urban historians particularly interested in the United Kingdom.
