“From the Inside Out: A Self-Esteem Book for Kids, Second Edition”, is the second of two books on the development of healthy self-esteem for elementary school aged children, by authors Linda L. Lee and Jesse Lee. This creative, informative and interactive work is targeted for children ages nine to twelve and combines comic strips, illustrations, easy-to-read text and journaling exercises to bring young readers the information and tools they need to build positive self-esteem.Linda Lee is a registered psychologist with over seventeen years experience. Linda specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues for adults. When it came time to discuss developing healthy self-esteem with her son, Jesse, they began devising a way of translating the topic of self-talk to a language kids could easily understand. Now in its second printing, and second edition, “From the Inside Out” has been written, illustrated, and formatted to allow kids in this very tender age group to explore their inner-strengths and learn the skills that will keep them strong, even through tumultuous times.The first step in building strong self-esteem is to tackle the horrendous effects of negative self-talk. We often see people around us who look confident and successful, but inside they are convinced that there's something wrong with them and they don't deserve that success. This pattern starts at the earliest stages of life, on the playground and in the minds of kids. By focusing on the inner dialogue and learning how to change negative self-talk, kids can be given the tools which will allow them to feel good about themselves throughout their lifetime. “From the Inside Out” covers topics from “What is Self-Esteem” to “Changing Your Inner Voice” to “Nobody's Perfect”. All of the topics covered are aimed at helping kids hear their inner voice, take control and make positive changes in their own lives.Self-esteem is vital for all of us. The earlier we can learn about self-esteem and enhance healthy self-esteem the better. Self-esteem is what will provide the strength and resolve to help kids be able to say “no” when they need to say “no” and to say “yes” when they want to say “yes”. It is the armor that will help them emotionally survive bullying, being left out and embarrassing moments. Self-esteem includes self-confidence which enables kids to try new activities and improve from mistakes. The first part of “From the Inside Out” includes information about self-esteem and questions to help the reader discover their own responses regarding self-esteem. The last part of the book allows for more detailed journaling and self-discovery. This book can be a valuable resources used by individuals or in group settings where discussion of the topics and examples are encouraged.

What does the Bible say about women's roles in the church? With pros and cons on either side of a heated, ongoing debate, no definitive conclusions have emerged. This book furnishes you with a clear and thorough presentation of the two primary views on women in ministry so you can better understand each one's strengths, weaknesses, and complexities.Each view---egalitarian (equal ministry opportunity for both genders) and complementarian (ministry roles differentiated by gender)---is represented by two contributors. This revised edition of the book brings the exchange of ideas and perspectives into the traditional Counterpoints format. Each author states his or her case and is then critiqued by the other contributors.The fair-minded, interactive Counterpoints forum allows you to compare and contrast the two different positions, and to form your own opinion concerning the practical and often deeply personal issue of women in ministry.The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

Each book is an authoritative guide that offers essential information such as how to go about getting a diagnosis, what the latest treatment options and prevention strategies are, how to help teens cope with mental illness at home and at school and, perhaps most importantly, what the warning signs and red flags are that parents and other adults should look out for in teenagers who may be at risk for these diseases. Combining the expertise of leading psychiatrists and psychologists with the experience of everyday people who have faced these disorders in their own children, the books are designed to help adults deal effectively with adolescent mental illness and to empower them to act immediately and wisely in getting teens the best available treatment possible.

Throughout much of the modern era, faith healing received attention only when it came into conflict with biomedical practice. During the 1990s, however, American culture changed dramatically and religious healing became a commonplace feature of our society. Increasing numbers of mainstream churches and synagogues began to hold held 'healing services' and 'healing circles.' The use of complementary and alternative therapies-some connected with spiritual or religious traditions-became widespread, and the growing hospice movement drew attention to the spiritual aspects of medical care. At the same time, changes in immigration laws brought to the United States new cultural communities, each with their own approaches to healing. Cuban santeros, Haitian mambos and oungans, Cambodian Buddhist priests, Chinese herbalist-acupuncturists, and Hmong shamans are only a few of the newer types of American religious healers, often found practicing within blocks of prestigious biomedical institutions.
This book offers a richly comprehensive collection of essays examining this new reality. It brings together, for the first time, scholars from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives to explore the relatively uncharted field of religious healing as understood and practiced in diverse cultural communities in the United States. The book will be an invaluable resource for students of anthropology, religious studies, American studies, and ethnic studies, health care professionals, clergy, and anyone interested in the changing American cultural landscape.

For more than a decade, popular homiletics professor Linda Clader has been helping her students become attentive to how the Holy Spirit is speaking to them, and eventually through them to the congregation. In "Voicing the Vision" she shares her ideas about what preachers can do to be open and receptive to the Spirit once the exegesis is done.

Clader's approach to inspired and prophetic preaching is a holistic one, filled with suggestions about how the preacher's spiritual life and practice affect openness to the Spirit, as well as how various creative exercises can create spaces in which the Spirit can flourish. Her careful analysis of the biblical texts that illuminate how the Spirit works in those texts is supplemented by practical suggestions for noticing how the Spirit also works in the everyday life of preacher and congregation.

This book will be a welcome companion for the seminarian who is just learning to preach, as well as the seasoned preacher who is looking for new inspiration.

The two authors of this book, Linda Grenz and Del Glover, say at the outset that they are ordinary Christians writing for ordinary Christians and ordinary congregations. So why has this book become a classic for couples about to marry, couples already married, and the congregations that support them? Because they approach the ordinary issues couples face in marriage from the life-experience perspectives of an Episcopal priest (Linda) and a former corporate executive (Del) who worked with people as they faced various family-related issues.

They invite readers to use the book in ways that speak most directly to them and offer questions for the couple to discuss and others that engage a congregation. The book is interspersed with relevant quotes from scripture with probing questions for the individual to consider.
