Social workers, counselors, and health care professionals will be
challenged by this thorough presentation of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STDs). The contributing authors contend that in the
immediate future, education, not medicine will be the single most
important weapon in stemming the spread of STDs. Thus, the
responsibility of educating society and providing service for
people who are directly or indirectly affected by STDs lies with
helping professions. The devastating social, medical, and
psychological aspects of AIDS, herpes, and other STDs are
discussed. Contributors focus on the issues involved with
counseling individuals with STDs--and their partners, families, and
friends--and make suggestions for the education and teaching of
professionals and the general public about STDs.

If you don't have the time to read all the novels of George
MacDonald, the great Scottish storyteller who inspired C. S. Lewis,
G. K. Chesterton, Mark Twain, W. H. Auden, and J. R. R. Tolkien,
this anthology is a great place to start. These selections from
MacDonald's novels, fairy tales, and sermons reveal the profound
and hopeful Christian vision that infuses his fantasy worlds and
other fiction. Newcomers will find in these pages a rich,
accessible sampling. George MacDonald enthusiasts will be pleased
to find some of the writer's most compelling stories and wisdom in
one volume. Drawn from books including Sir Gibbie, The Princess and
the Goblin, Lilith, and At the Back of the North Wind, the
selections are followed by reflections from G. K. Chesterton and C.
S. Lewis and accompanied by classic illustrations of Maurice Sendak
(print edition only).
What is the purpose of my life? What is friendship? What is faith?
These universal questions, which are especially relevant to young
adults, form the heart of this compelling story, told through real
letters and diary entries. Anni, who grows from her teenage years
to adulthood over the course of the book, is passionate about life
and unsparing in her search for authenticity. Articulate and
probing, her words have a contemporary ring as she plumbs the
reality of her doubt and sense of spiritual loneliness. Then she
experiences a call from God - and finds a life of purpose, faith,
and joy. In Anni's own words: "It is infinitely reassuring to know
that there is an absolute truth, an infinitely great love. It is
wonderful to know that one does not have to squander one's life,
one does not need to ask anymore what life is really for, what its
purpose is." Heightening the drama of this coming-of-age memoir is
the historical setting in 1920s Germany, as the specter of Nazism
looms ever larger over the world of Anni and her friends, giving
their questions about life's meaning a special poignancy.
