DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen I Am 21 is an attempt to capture the spirit of the students with whom I worked in residential placement. The student papers are filled with hope and despair, sadness and happiness, poignancy, honesty, and deep longing. My hope is that this book will contribute to efforts towards working with these students to provide them with what they need, a top-quality education that offers academic pursuits, and especially for the majority of students, vocational training and interpersonal skills as essential parts of the curriculum. ?It is impossible to look at these student wishes and not be impressed by the desire to work. Work is the basis of community. It involves the giving and taking essential to human transactions, the fulfillment of wants and needs, the reciprocity of rights and responsibilities, and the culmination - hopefully - of an educational process that allows students to identify their interests and skills and to choose a job suitably commensurate with such.? (page 49). ?I find most noteworthy those wishes that refer to personal virtues (?be brave?, ?will listen?, ?to still pray?) and those that refer to a world outside of and bigger than ourselves (?a world without violence?, ?peace on earth?, ?help younger children to read?, ?everyone will stop killing animals?, ?will help the needy?).? (page 146) ?Peer relations are generally the greatest single indicator both of social/emotional health and happiness/sadness for individuals throughout society. Peer relations is the arena wherein questions of autonomy, maturity, morality, virtue and interpersonal satisfaction come together. Love interests encompass the spiritual, the emotional and the physical.? (page 197)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJoy desperately reaches out for help because her single mom is dying. Living in an underprivileged part of town, their lives are filled with sickness, violence, fear, and danger. When My Mommy Dies, Can I Live with You? gives a glimpse of how an average empty-nester couple were compelled to help Joy. They learn the awful reality of the poverty and terror in a part of the city just a few miles from their home. God protects Joy and orchestrates events so their lives intersect. “I have known Dave and Carolyn for over thirty years. We have two girls the same ages as their two daughters. I have seen tremendous Christian growth in their lives over these years. The story in this Christ-centered book does not surprise me. It is filled with their practical faith and tender hearts as they continue to reach out to hurting people. It is informative as it exposes the dilemma of poor people whose lives have been affected by the HIV/AIDS virus and other social problems. It is challenging as it forces the reader to evaluate the quality of his/her own Christianity. It is almost a diary of their experiences and the reader will be a different person in many ways when the book is closed.” —Ben West, retired pastor and missionary to the Philippines
What Mothers Do Especially When It Looks Like Nothing

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInstead of preaching what mothers ought to do, psychotherapist Naomi Stadlen explains what mothers already do in the course of any exhausting day's work. Drawing from countless conversations with hundreds of mothers spanning more than a decade, What Mothers Do provides lucid insight into the true experience of motherhood and answers the perennial question common to mothers everywhere: What have I done all day? Stadlen's wise reflections, threaded throughout with the voices of real mothers, explore unsentimental reactions to motherhood-resentment, guilt, splintered identity, crippling inefficiency, and deadening fatigue. Yet the overriding sentiment is one of empowerment and wonder, as Stadlen illustrates how seemingly insignificant skills such as responding to a baby's colicky cry, being instantly interruptible, or soothing an overstimulated child to sleep profoundly contribute to an individual's socialization, self-worth, and curiosity. Remarkably perceptive and heartening, What Mothers Do will resonate with mothers everywhere in search of understanding and wisdom.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen is doing the right thing the wrong thing to do? In a perfect world the answer would be never, but the world is seldom perfect—a hard lesson with tragic consequences for five-year-old Molly and her family in a sleepy rural town. It’s 1955, a time of innocence and simplicity, but behind closed doors, terrible cruelties are taking place at a neighboring farmhouse—its victim helpless to protect herself. Seeking comfort and at least some measure of independence, fifteen year old Nell takes on the role of farmhand, in spite of her youth and gender, and impresses everyone with her strength and reliability. At least at first. For Molly, who sees Nell as a playmate big sister and even a surrogate mother of sorts, it’s inconceivable that someone so sweet could bring so much bitterness and desolation into her life. She has no idea what’s coming. As Nell’s troubled home life begins to impact her work, attention is drawn to her vulnerability. Consequentially, the seemingly idyllic surface of Molly’s family life begins to unravel. With mental illness, resentment, and disillusionment, the family is torn apart at its core. The story unfolds from the perspectives of Molly, her father Billy, her mother Dora, and Nell—each struggling with their sense of invisibility over a ten year struggle. Author Maret Johanson has created a story that is poignant and insightful, and populated with complex, realistic characters to whom one cannot help but relate and empathize. This is a story of the power of human spirit, the will to survive against all odds, of forgiveness and redemption. As they grapple to put the shattered pieces of their lives back together, nobody will ever be the same. It is impossible not to be affected by … When I Became Invisible.
