A practical and sensitive exploration of the Bible's teaching on homosexuality. A practical and sensitive exploration of the Bible's teaching on homosexuality. It's the hot topic of the moment. Christians, the church and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality. And there is growing hostility towards those who hold a different view to the culture's. So is God homophobic? And how do we relate to both Christians and non-Christians who experience same-sex attraction? In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the scriptures. Drawing on his own experience, he offers a positive and liberating way forward through the debate. This revised and updated version includes answers to some new questions, including: * Should Christians attend gay weddings? * Isn't the Christian view of sexuality dangerous and harmful? * Is it sinful to experience same-sex attraction?

Have you ever noticed how the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke contain much of the same information? Because the Gospel of John stands apart from the rest of the Gospels, reading them may be confusing. New author Larry Blumer has provided an in-depth study of the Gospels in his new book, The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand. The Gospel events are placed in chronological order so the reader can see them unfold plainly. The commentary includes: Journey maps that depict Jesus' travels. Commentary notes which give informative background information, explaining customs of the day. 'Application Today' sections that help the reader apply the lesson from the event to their life. From the birth announcements of John the Baptist and Jesus to the Sermon on the Mount, The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand provides a concise study on the Gospels. Filled with practical insight, sound biblical doctrine, and much needed application, this is a must read for every serious student of the Bible. AUTHOR BIO Larry Blumer is an Electrical Engineer and active member of the Lutheran Church and has spent many years teaching adult bible classes. The idea for this book began while studying to become a Bethel Bible teacher. This book was developed while teaching an adult Bible class on the Gospels."

A unique and comprehensive handbook presenting the state of the art in suicide bereavement support Suicide is not merely the act of an individual; it always has an effect on others and can even increase the risk of suicide in the bereaved. The International Association for Suicide Prevention, the World Health Organisation, and others have recognized postvention as an important strategy for suicide prevention. This unique and comprehensive handbook, authored by nearly 100 international experts, including researchers, clinicians, support group facilitators, and survivors, presents the state of the art in suicide bereavement support. The first part examines the key concepts and the processes that the bereaved experience and illustrates them with illuminating clinical vignettes. The second and third parts look in detail at suicide bereavement support in all the relevant settings (including general practices, the workplace, online and many others) as well as in specific groups (such as health care workers). In the concluding section, the support provided for those bereaved by suicide in no less than 23 countries is explored in detail, showing that postvention is becoming a worldwide strategy for suicide prevention. These chapters provide useful lessons and inspiration for extending and improving postvention in new and existing areas. This unique handbook is thus essential reading for anyone involved in suicide prevention or postvention research and practice.

In 1795 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe produced his tale of tales--The fairytale of "The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily," an extraordinary masterwork that is unique among Goethe's works. An initiatory fable of transformation, the tale arose out of the Rosicrucian, alchemical impulses that play an important role in Faust and Goethe's other writings. Among those influenced by it was Rudolf Steiner, whose mystery dramas employ similar themes. The authors begin by placing the fairytale against the background of Goethe's life and cultural setting. They then discuss its importance in the development of Steiner's spiritual science. Finally, they describe its visual language, profound mystical insights, and relevance for us today. The book includes Carlyle's classic translation of the tale and illustrations, plus Steiner's essay on its inner meaning. The authors offer a positive look at the possibilities of the twenty-first century. They view Goethe's fairytale as fully relevant to our time, just as it was when Goethe first wrote it.
