of what Barth intended for the church... to restore the focus of
theology and revitalize the practices of the church. Each section
contains insights for pastors, new theologians, professionals, and
ordinary people including: Summaries of the section Contextual
considerations And other visually informative features that
reinforce the main points of the Barth's thought In addition, each
volume features the voices of authors from different academic
disciplines who contribute brief reflections on the value of Church
Dogmatics for creative discovery in their disciplines. Volume 1

In this study, Michael Hryniuk develops a full phenomenological,
psychological and theological account of spiritual transformation
in the context of L'Arche, a federation of Christian communities
that welcome persons with learning disabilities. The book begins
with a critical examination of current perspectives on spiritual
transformation in theology and Christian spirituality and
constructs a new, foundational formulation of transformation as a
shift in consciousness, identity and behavior. Through extensive
analysis of the narratives of the caregiver-assistants who share
life with those who are disabled, this case-study reveals an
alternative vision of the "three-fold way" that unfolds through a
series of profound awakenings in relationships of mutual care and
presence: an awakening to the capacity to love, to bear inner
anguish and darkness, and to experience radical human and divine
acceptance. The book examines the psychological dimensions of
spiritual transformation through the lens of contemporary affect
theory and explores how care-givers experience a profound healing
of shame in their felt sense of identity and self-worth.
Walk Out Of Financial Darkness is a fun and entertaining story that
allows you to take a journey with Annie, a young woman not unlike
many Americans today. She has maxed-out credit cards, pays bills
late because she refuses to open her mail, and feels as if she is
drowning where money is concerned. When Annie feels there is no
hope left, an unexpected helper named Simon arrives, to teach her
ten lessons on basic money management. Instead of lecturing, he
creates situations that she must experience. This method will allow
Annie, and you, to easily understand how the financial concept
works and how it could be applied to your situation. Vanessa
Derrico won multiple awards, including First Year Top Achiever,
while working as a financial advisor. During that experience, she
found her true passion was financial education, not getting a set
number of clients or a specific amount of funds to manage. She
discovered there were many people who needed help with financial
basics. Helping people learn those basic concepts, however, was not
the focus of her financial training. Vanessa has met with thousands
of individuals since 2005, while facilitating seminars, classes,
and one-on-one coaching. She has tested how basic financial
concepts work, how to explain them to others and what pitfalls to
avoid. All of her experience gained in executing these concepts in
her own household and with the people she has helped has gone into
creating Walk Out Of Financial Darkness as an easy to read, fun
financial book. Paperback $14.99 Hardcover $22.99
