about marriage in today's world.

people are great on experience, some great on the Bible and
theology; here is a book that is great on both. Sean's own
testimony shaped by the Lord's word and work in his life models
what "abundant life" means. - The Right Revd Keith Sinclair, Bishop
of Birkenhead Sexual Singleness explores why singleness is hard,
yet can be deeply fulfilling - even better than marriage - and
needs to be valued much more highly by the church. Drawing on his
own experience and that of others, he offers practical suggestions
for how churches can nurture and support single people.

and theology. They offer help to Christians facing these issues

Doherty's new introduction to sexual ethics is firmly grounded in
solid biblical scholarship and shows clearly and concisely not only
what the Bible teaches about sexuality, marriage, singleness and
divorce, but why this teaching makes sense in terms of the nature
of God and his desire that men and women should flourish and find
fulfilment. It is also firmly connected to the realities of the
contemporary world and full of practical wisdom. This is an
important and timely book that deserves to be widely read. Buy it
and give it away to your friends! - Dr Martin Davie, Tutor in
Doctrine, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford; author of A Guide to the Church of
England. QUILTBAG: Jesus and sexuality sets out the biblical and
theological basis for the Christian view that sex is for marriage
only, and that marriage is the union of a woman and a man. Written
from within Sean's own experience of same-sex orientation, this
guide is accessible and personal.

Doherty has provided us with a remarkable resource. It is
remarkable, first, because it is deeply rooted in his own
experience and reflection as someone who has experienced same-sex
attraction. But it is also remarkable for the way it is fully
engaged in contemporary research and discussion. Sean manages to
connect and integrate his own experience with the best thinking in
this area. Finally, Sean offers an account that is remarkably
accessible and which will be of help to a wide range of people. It
is one of the best resources out there. Revd Dr Ian Paul,
theologian, author, and blogger at Psephizo.com In Living Out My
Story , Sean tells us his own story of same-sex attraction which he
uses to illuminate his discussion of homosexuality, same-sex
marriage and the church. He shows how churches can provide a loving
welcome and acceptance of gay people whilst being faithful to
Jesus's teaching about sex.
Tools are developing rapidly to aid public agencies and consultants
with the management of land-use and transportation. Ever more
powerful computers promise new generations of simulation models
that allow novel investment strategies and public policies to be
"tried on for size" before they are introduced. But for these
models to reach their full potential, they must represent human
behaviour in a realistic way. This book examines the behavioural
foundations, often simplistic, that have limited land-use and
transportation models in the past, and recommends alternative
assumptions, frameworks and methods. At the heart of these are ways
to measure and represent the processes of decision-making that lead
to the organisation of human activities in time and space. All the
main urban decision-makers are involved, including individuals,
households, property developers, owners of shops and leisure
facilities, employers, and public officials. The focus ranges from
daily decisions of households concerning what to do, where and when
to do it, and by what travel mode, to longer term decisions
concerning residential choice, vehicle holdings or land consumption
by housing and business entities. Collectively, these intentional
micro-level behaviours culminate in aggregate flows of traffic and
urban growth that may be unintended and contrary to public policy.
The book is an essential guide to these behavioural foundations for
anyone evaluating the environmental sustainability, healthiness and
equitability of access to activities and services in city regions.
This book was a product of the PROCESSUS international network
research programme, funded principally by the Social Sciences and
HumanitiesResearch Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Canadian Network
of Centres of Excellence in geomatics (GEOIDE), and the Quebec
Ministry of Transport.
Golden Daze tells the story of Australian surfing one year at a
time through the lives of our greatest surfers. The book takes a
deep dive into a significant year of their surfing lives. Years
when they won, years when they lost. Years where their surfing and
their surfboards changed the game. Grommet years when the days
never ended. Years where they surfed up the coast, down the coast
and globetrotted into the great unknown. Years when both surfing
and society changed. Years when they made high art, experienced
spiritual awakenings or were just tubed out of their minds. Even
years where they survived the embrace of a great white shark. Part
journal, part biography, part surf culture memoir, in Golden Daze,
world renowned surf writer and bestselling author Sean Doherty
gives a fascinating insight into what makes Australian surfing
tick. Surfing Australia's Hall of Fame recognises the nation's most
influential and iconic surfers. Every year the current members of
the Hall of Fame vote to induct a new surfer. You will find all of
these surfers, from Peter Troy to Tyler Wright in Golden Daze.
