This collection of in-depth ethnographic analysis examines the
impact of local and global transformations on the care, or lack of
care, older people receive in Sub-Saharan Africa. This volume
provides the pan-African evidence and analysis needed to move
forward debates about how to address the long term care needs of
this vulnerable population. Case studies from different regions of
the continent (southern, central, east and west Africa) examine
formal and informal care, including inter- and intra-generational
care, retirement homes, care in the context of poverty, HIV/AIDS
and migration.
We all long for certainty in life, yet things often don't go as we
expect. When facing illness, job loss, strained relationships, and
other struggles, our impulse is to question God and strive to fix
things ourselves. In this book, Shelly Miller, a trusted ministry
leader, explores how difficult times can actually be purposeful
times of spiritual growth. Weaving the exodus story from the Bible
with her own story, she shares how to focus on God rather than
trying to overcome challenges in our own limited strength. Each
chapter features a simple spiritual practice to help us enjoy the
peace and security that is only possible through Christ. Uncertain
seasons will soon be translated as an aha instead of an oh no.
Although our circumstances vary, we all ache with a longing for
something more. We are born with dreams, and some of us even have
detailed plans about how to make them happen. Yet we all come to a
point in life when we realize that we are not in control. A loved
one gets sick, a tragedy occurs, our plans backfire. What we may
not realize is that even if we can't depend on our circumstances or
even ourselves, there is One who will always provide what we need,
just when we need it. With compassion and enthusiasm, Meredith
McDaniel invites you to walk alongside God's people in Exodus as
they wake up each morning to manna, God's provision for them in
desert places. As she unfolds their story of complete dependence on
their Creator, you'll discover through guided journaling how God is
providing for you right now, where you are in your own unique
story. Along the way, you will develop a comforting awareness that
you are seen, guided, protected, and filled by a good God in the
person of Jesus.
