When firefighter John Casey heroically saves an elderly woman
named Mrs. Parker in a terrible fire, he has no idea that this one
act will change his life forever.
A mysterious letter arrives from Mrs. Parker's attorney,
summoning John and his wife, Susan, to a meeting. The couple
receives news they never expected. They are the sole beneficiaries
of Mrs. Parker's incredible fortune, worth an estimated two billion
dollars; they now own homes in Palm Beach, Boston, and New
York.
With all this money comes a new challenge. As Christians, John
and Susan know they need to be responsible stewards; accordingly,
they give to their church and to other charities. Yet as soon as
they travel to Florida to look at their new property, strange
things begin to happen. Unsavory men begin following them and,
unbeknownst to the couple, their own servants are involved in
monitoring their every move.
As John and Susan, along with their best friends, Mark and
Carol, begin to dig deeper into the Parker family history, they
discover a sordid tale full of deceit, murder, demons, and angels.
John and Susan must adorn the armor of God if they are to prevail
over Satan's minions and emerge with their faith-and their
lives-intact.
This book brings together historians from the United States,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe to historicize
constructions of whiteness as a colonial formation. Confronting the
privilege inherent in the invisibility of contemporary whiteness
requires that the historical roots of racial power be interrogated,
and the history of European colonialism is of much more than
passing significance to this task. This collection functions to
read the colonial back into whiteness by demonstrating how this
racial category traveled around the routes of empire. It shows how
a transnational focus can bring historical and spatial specificity
to the study of whiteness and thus re-orients the frames of
whiteness for American and non-American scholars alike.
Since the publication of the first edition, there have been
advances in both the diagnosis and the management of many of the
cholestatic liver diseases. Cholestatic Liver Disease, Second
Edition thoroughly updates the topics previously addressed, such as
primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and
cholestatic variants of drug hepatotoxicity and viral disease. New
treatments, such as the development of the farnesoid X receptor
agonists for the treatment of PBC, are highlighted. Current
guidelines and areas of uncertainty are also covered. Additionally,
new chapters have been added to reflect the changing landscape of
cholestatic liver disease. Cholestatic Liver Disease, Second
Edition is a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current
status of the field and is of value to clinicians and researchers
interested in patients with cholestatic liver disease provide that
will help to guide patient management and stimulate investigative
efforts.
Using a multi-level approach to Mark 15:34, and contra to the
opinion of the majority of Markan scholarship, a contextual reading
of Ps 22:2 does not serve to negate or dilute the presentation of
Jesus as one in distress. Rather, such a reading enhances this
aspect of his death by underscoring his identity as a Righteous
Sufferer who experiences suffering but has the promise of
vindication. The evidence that supports a contextual reading of the
citation in the Markan narrative includes: (a) the importance of
Jesus' impending resurrection/vindication and its foreshadowing;
(b) the relatively consistent contextual use of the scriptures in
the narrative prior to Mark 15:34; (c) the patterns of the textual
and liturgical use of the psalms and the presence of the motif of
the Righteous Sufferer in Mark's socio-cultural milieu; (d) the
presentation of Jesus as the Righteous Sufferer throughout the
narrative; and (e) an exegesis of Mark 15:34 and the surrounding
Markan passion-resurrection narrative with regard to the function
of Ps 22 in the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. A test case
of this argument is undertaken at the close of the book, when both
Matthew and Luke's treatment of Ps 22 and other Righteous Sufferer
language is considered, regarding their readings of Ps 22 in Mark
as the earliest tangible evidence of the interpretation of this
passage in his gospel.
Play therapy and family therapy both are well established
therapeutic paradigms. Often, however, play therapists have minimal
contact with the nuclear family of which their child patient is a
member. Similarly, family therapists frequently view young children
as disruptive and exclude them from family sessions. By combining
both play and family treatment modalities as this unique book
Family Play Therapy suggests, all family members can participate in
a therapeutic process which, in its inclusion of everyone, is more
genuine and therefore successful. Family Play Therapy encourages
the blending of play therapy and family therapy by discussing and
demonstrating various techniques and diverse theoretical approaches
that will enable readers to broaden their repertoire when working
with families and their young children. Each author describes his
or her own creative avenue of expression such as puppetry,
psychodrama, and sandplay, which facilitate the family's
communication, helping members to find new ways to hear each other.
Family play therapy and play therapy need not be exclusionary. The
two approaches actually can enhance and enrich each other. While
each therapist ultimately will use his or her own ideas in the
critical combining of both methods, Family Play Therapy offers
various possibilities and as such, helps therapists to help their
family patients to be readily engaged in treatment and to
experience therapy as a fun, inclusive, transforming time together.
