Meet Joseph - Joseph is curious to understand more about
forgiveness. He lost his sister's brand new football. Although she
forgave him, he feels really bad. Can he forgive himself? He told
his friend Billy a big secret, but Billy has betrayed his trust and
told other kids at school. Should he forgive Billy, especially when
he is yet to say sorry? Joseph's friend George is being bullied at
school by Jasper. If George forgives Jasper, could Jasper go on to
bully others in the future? This illustrated book is the ideal
conversation starter for children aged 7+ to explore what
forgiveness means, what it is and isn't and when it might and might
not be appropriate.
The last 20 years have seen the development of a growing body of
psychological literature on the long-neglected subject of
forgiveness. Forgiveness has been widely regarded as a purely
religious construct, and its associations with a 'neurotic;
Christianity perhaps led to its exile from the consulting room.
However, recently it has been advocated in many different secular
contexts as offering an appropriate and healthy means of release
from the wrongdoing on social, interpersonal and individual levels.
'Forgiveness in Context' represents a comprehensive volume dealing
with a whole range of contextual issues in which forgiveness may be
embedded, and continues to address the idealism which has sometimes
influenced discussions on the subject. The book continually engages
the reader on both psychological and theological levels in a
sustained dialogue that has not permeated any of the books already
available on forgiveness to the extent we propose here. Although
some of the chapters have a more psychological 'flavour', whilst
others are theological in tone, it is central to the ethos of this
book that it should weave psychology and theology together
throughout all chapters.
Meet Maya. Maya always tries to be polite, and to remember to say
'thank you' but she wants to learn what it means to be truly
grateful. Should she be grateful to her teachers for their hard
work, even though they're only doing their job? Does she need to
say thank you for the gifts she doesn't really like - like the pink
scarf Nani gave her last birthday? And when Laura gives her some
earrings but later asks to copy her history project in return,
should Maya be grateful and give her the thank you letter she has
written? This illustrated book is an ideal conversation starter for
children aged 7+, helping them to understand what gratitude means,
recognise when it is appropriate, and develop their own ability to
be genuinely grateful.
