We think our lives will always be the same. That changes will never happen. That intrusions will never alter our present peace and serenity. We move about from day to day, and become oblivious to any encroaching possible problems. Then, a huge crisis arrives: DEATH It comes without warning. It offers no time for preparation. No time for erecting protective walls. As earths final enemy, death takes someone special from you. It takes away your shared blessings. It ends a beautiful, fruitful, and fulfilling life together. In deaths shattering aftermath, survivors make the gallant attempt to piece their lives back together again. This is because everything that was once highly positive has been suddenly made negative by deaths uninvited invasion. In this volume the author shares his painful grief journey following the death of his wife. He shares how his life was turned upside down. How he became a severely broken individual. How he endured numerous painful and unavoidable life changes. How he was faced with the tough challenge of reframing his life. And how in the end, he was able to move toward a renewed life of healing and blessings.

Caroline O'Neal's memoir aims to explore how we view education and learning differences. Readers will go on a journey that starts with Caroline's birth and the complications that came with it. Next, she divulges her own personal desire to find somewhere that she belonged and shares her family's search for a school that could accommodate their child's needs. Finally, Caroline tells us the story of how her mother opened Sophia Academy for Caroline and children like her. The academy was a place where students could learn at their own pace and find acceptance among their peers. Attending an inclusive learning institution rather than one that excluded her rekindled Caroline's love for learning and influenced the outcome of her life.
Written for parents, educators, and those experiencing a learning difference, No Two Are Alike: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Encountering God is a story of faith, family, education, entrepreneurship, and perseverance--all centered around a school that transformed the lives of many students with learning differences.

Автор: Lindsay Starkey Название: Encountering Water in Early Modern Europe and Beyond: Redefining the Universe through Natural Philosophy, Religious Reformations, and Sea Voyaging ISBN: 9462988730 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789462988736 Издательство: NBN International Рейтинг: Цена: 166150.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Both the Christian Bible and Aristotle’s works suggest that water should entirely flood the earth. Though many ancient, medieval, and early modern Europeans relied on these works to understand and explore the relationships between water and earth, sixteenth-century Europeans particularly were especially concerned with why dry land existed. This book investigates why they were so interested in water’s failure to submerge the earth when their predecessors had not been. Analyzing biblical commentaries as well as natural philosophical, geographical, and cosmographical texts from these periods, Lindsay Starkey shows that European sea voyages to the southern hemisphere combined with the traditional methods of European scholarship and religious reformations led sixteenth-century Europeans to reinterpret water and earth’s ontological and spatial relationships. The manner in which they did so also sheds light on how we can respond to our current water crisis before it is too late.
For more than twenty-five years, Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr has authored such bestselling books on Catholic spirituality as Seven Sacred Pauses and A Tree Full of Angels. In The Flowing Grace of Now--her first book in almost a decade--Wiederkehr offers weekly reflections that reveal the spiritual teachers at work in your life, inviting you to listen to these teachers and learn from their wisdom.
"There is an old proverb that says, 'When the student is ready the teacher will arrive.' I think I have been ready for a long time, yet perhaps I have spent too much time looking for the perfect teacher rather than seeing the teachers that arrive in unexpected ways." With these words, retreat guide and author Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr begins The Flowing Grace of Now, a year-long companion that ushers you into the presence of teachers already at work in your life--teachers intent on helping you deepen your faith.
These teachers are not necessarily saints, writers, or theologians, but rather ordinary people, events, and experiences whose presence already permeates your life. These include:
biblical characters,
day and night,
silence,
the virtues, and
joy in another person's good fortune.
These, Wiederkehr suggests, are the kind of teachers who are the result of the flow of grace in your life. She encourages you to become aware of how they are at work in you and what you might learn from them.
Each reflection begins with a scripture text leading you into the spirit of the week. A brief meditation on this scripture serves as a catalyst for the Word to take root in your heart and a closing prayer sums up the week. A teacher is suggested for you. The final quotation from a spiritual writer contains the spirit of your teacher and can assist you in embracing the wisdom of that teacher.
Using this book as a year-long weekly guide can be an enriching opportunity to deepen and transform your faith life.
Автор: Kilhamn Cecilia, Sдljц Roger Название: Encountering Algebra: A Comparative Study of Classrooms in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the USA ISBN: 3030175790 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030175795 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 79190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The book reports a comparative research project about algebra teaching and learning in four countries. By comparing classrooms, new insights are generated about how students understand the algebraic content, how teachers instruct, and how both parties deal with difficulties in learning elementary algebra.
Drawing from an extensive personal journal that the author, Thomas A. Robinson, has maintained for the past 30 years, Robinson provides a collection of reflections that flow from "questions of faith." Three-quarters of the reflections spring from questions found in Holy Scripture, one-quarter from questions Robinson encountered on the tongues of loved ones. It is Robinson's belief that if the reader examines his or her own journey of faith, he or she will see that questions--and the forthcoming answers--have become an important part of the believer's framework of faith. Robinson notes that most of us are "an admixture of faith and doubt, a blend of absolute assurance and utter confusion." Robinson offers that it is within one's questions faith that Christ is encountered, for Christ seeks us out long before we ever seek Him.
