This highly original book argues for increased recognition of
pregnancy, birthing and childrearing as social activities demanding
simultaneously physical, intellectual, emotional and moral work
from those who undertake them. Amy Mullin considers both parenting
and paid childcare, and examines the impact of disability on this
work. The first chapters contest misconceptions about pregnancy and
birth such as the idea that pregnancy is only valued for its end
result, and not also for the process. Following chapters focus on
childcare provided in different circumstances and on the needs of
both providers and receivers of care. The book challenges the
assumption that isolated self-sacrifice should be the norm in
either pregnancy or childcare. Instead reproductive labor requires
greater social support. Written from the perspective of a feminist
philosopher, the book draws on the work of, and seeks to increase
dialogue between, philosophers and childcare professionals,
disability theorists, nurses and sociologists.

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in
the truth." --3 John 4 Never Too Late is full of practical and
biblical wisdom to guide parents trying to reach their adult
children for Christ. The four biblical principles outlined in this
time-tested resource have been honed at the popular Never Too Late
conferences organized by Visionary Family Ministries. Most
importantly, this book has been an encouragement for parents
desperately wanting their children to have deep faith and a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Writing with compassion
and honesty, pastor Rob Rienow shares a powerful message of hope:
it's never too late to point an adult child's heart toward God.
"Parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents will find practical
help in this book to build closer relationships with their
children. . . . Rob reminds us we . . . must hold fast to the goal
of our children placing their full faith and trust in Christ. . . .
You will richly benefit from reading this book." --John White,
Wheaton Bible Church "Rob Rienow has done an incredible job of
capturing the burden that so many parents feel for their adult
children. . . . Never Too Late brings you hope even in the midst of
painful times." --Jim Burns, author of Confident Parenting
The star of Marvel's first Asian superhero film, Shang-Chi and The
Legend of the Ten Rings, tells his own origin story of being a
Chinese immigrant, his battles with cultural stereotypes and his
own identity, becoming a TV star, and landing the role of a
lifetime. In this honest, inspiring and relatable memoir, Simu Liu
chronicles his family's journey from China to the bright lights of
Hollywood with wit and humour. As a child, Simu's parents left him
in the care of his grandparents, bringing him to Canada when he was
four. However, Simu soon senses that his new guardians lack the
gentle touch of his grandparents, resulting in harsh words and hurt
feelings between him and his parents, who find their son
emotionally distant and difficult to relate to. Although they are
related by blood, they are separated by culture, language, and
values. As Simu grows up, he plays the part of the pious child
flawlessly - he gets straight As, performs exceptionally in
national math competitions and makes his parents proud. However, as
time passes, he grows increasingly disillusioned with the path that
has been laid out for him. Less than a year out of University, he
is fired from his first job and hits rock bottom. He develops a
determination centred around creating his own path. This leads him
to not only succeeding as an actor, but also opens the door to
reconciling with his parents. We Were Dreamers is a story about
growing up between cultures, finding your family, and becoming the
master of your own extraordinary circumstance.
