This book explores the art of conversation, and the process of good
listening and counseling. Right From the Start: A Pastor's Guide to
Premarital Counseling is a guide for pastors and counselors to help
couples prepare for and succeed in married life, not just pass a
test. It discusses the five main points of discussion covered in
the companion piece, Right From the Start: A Premarital Guide for
Couples.Counselors will learn that it is okay to say no to a
couple, because the point is to help the couple find out if they
are actually compatible. Marriage is for life, and it is your duty
as a counselor to advise couples who realize that.Through
story-telling, David and Lisa Frisbie open up the doors for couples
to hash out their ideas, differences, and misunderstandings before
anyone is hurt in the future. It's better to prevent harm rather
than trying to heal the hurt.
Teen drug use is a critical and timely health issue that deeply
affects adolescent development in a number of important areas,
including social, cognitive, and affective functioning, as well as
long-term health and wellbeing. Trends indicate that drug use is
starting at an earlier age, the potency of several drugs is much
stronger than in the past, and more new drugs are illegally being
manufactured to provide faster, heightened effects. In addition,
illegal use of prescription drugs and drug diversion or the sharing
of prescription medication is also on the rise amongst teens.
Parenting and Teen Drug Use provides comprehensive coverage of the
most current research on youth drug use and prevention, carefully
and meticulously presenting empirical evidence and theoretical
arguments that underlie the mechanisms linking parental
socialization and adolescent drug use. Written by leading experts,
chapters examine the causes and consequences of drug use, the
myriad ways to prevent it, and the latest findings from the
prevention research community regarding what works, with a specific
emphasis on parenting techniques that have shown the most promise
for reducing or preventing drug use in teens. Parenting and Teen
Drug Use will provide valuable insight to a wide audience of
clinicians, treatment providers, school counselors, prevention
experts, social workers, physicians, substance abuse counselors,
students, and those who work with youth on a day-to-day basis to
influence positive youth adaptation.
Between the Mountain and the Sky shows us the goodness that is
possible when a single person--regardless of age--takes action to
help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds.
Maggie's story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable
middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world
during a gap year before starting college. During her travels, the
trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter
with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to
invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of
land and open a children's home in Nepal. That home becomes Kopila
Valley Children's Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie
launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley
School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four
hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow's work have been recognized
around the world for their innovative, sustainable work. However,
this book isn't a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit
founders--it's a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended
between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope
she experiences along the way. And Maggie's inspiring, intimate
tale shows readers an important truth: the power to change the
world exists within all of us.

This is the latest edition of Garry Landreth’s comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play.
This book details Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), an evidence-based model, which stresses the importance of understanding the child’s world. Professors who have taught a course based on the previous editions will be pleased to find the core message intact but updated with a comprehensive review of rigorous contemporary research demonstrating the strong evidence base for CCPT across cultural groups and presenting issues. Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, this new edition includes a model of the change process in CCPT and 13 new Rules of Thumb that help clarify the CCPT relationship, and discusses deeper issues in CCPT, such as recognizing emotional blocks in play therapy, being culturally responsive, discovering meaning when there seems to be no meaning, and more.
This new edition offers essential help to play therapists who respond to sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process.

From the beginning of time, God has spoken to people in their
dreams. Through them he has reached out to both men of God?Isaiah,
Daniel, Jeremiah, Jacob, and his dream interpreter son, Joseph?and
ungodly men and women, like Pharaoh or Pontius Pilate's wife. Even
today, God has not stopped speaking to us in our dreams. We simply
stopped listening or being aware of Him.
More than twenty years ago, after God woke him up one night with
an incredible dream, author Manny Fernandez set off on a lifelong
journey to explore what could be learned from dreams. He made it
his mission to teach others how to remember their dreams and, with
God's help, interpret their meaning. In his guidebook, Fernandez
includes his own diary of dreams, associated Scriptures and
explanations, ways to remember and understand God's special
messages, an examination of parables, and his ideas for connecting
with God through dreams and prayer.
"Wake Up?God's Talking to You" is an innovative teaching tool
that guides spiritual seekers through all the ways God speaks to us
through dreams and brings us closer to Him.
