they had all hoped for - or will new dangers threaten their

Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled
freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of
social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of
discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise
of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However,
empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have
extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow
legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the
idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control
across social and political practices and in different contexts. As
this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both
total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.

an impact on others for God? Kingdom Men Rising challenges
men to foster personal discipleship and apply discipleship skills
and a leadership mindset to all areas of life. Dr. Tony Evans
brings his insights, stories, and wise counsel from God's Word to
clear all obstacles in your path, leading you to the abundant life
you've been called to live. And along the way, you'll find your
heart stirred to reach for more, no longer settling for a faith
that just goes through the motions. The life of King David is used
as the book's foundation, and topics include overcoming temptation,
restoration from sin, how to disciple others, and finally how to
leave a legacy of faith and godly influence. Replace
helplessness, boredom, and regret with vibrancy, power, and joy.
Let Kingdom Men Rising help you take the next step in your faith to

Discretion has re-emerged as an issue of central importance for
welfare professionals over the last two decades in the face of an
intensification of management culture across the public sector.
This book presents an innovative framework for the analysis of
discretion, offering three accounts of the managerial role - the
domination model, the street level model and the author's
alternative discursive perspective. These different regimes of
discretion are examined through a case study within a social
services department, comparing and contrasting social work
discretion in an Older Persons Team and a Mental Health Team. This
innovative, theoretical and empirical analysis will be of great
interest to postgraduate students and researchers in social work
and related disciplines including social policy, public
administration and organizational studies, as well as professionals
in social work, health and education.

Bringing together international case studies, this book offers
theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between
social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on
policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core
analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers)

implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer
examples of policy making from seven different countries and
demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political
actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the
potential of social work for the social policy-making process.

education; safeguarding children; responses to the needs of looked
after children; personalization in adult care; 'race' and welfare

All of us go through good, bad, and just plain ugly times. But
that's only half the story. God can tak all the experiences of your
life and use them to make you unbelievably better at what He's
created you for!
But you say, "I am in a mess; it's the biggest mess anyone ever
made. You don't know my mess!" There's only one answer for that,
says Tony: ""You don't know my God.""
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5 If you believe in Jesus and

find yourself uncertain how to pray and experience victory? Pastor
Tony Evans stands ready to help you "put on the full armor of God"
(Ephesians 6:11). In this collection of spiritual warfare prayers
that correspond with each piece of armor, you'll find hope for your
struggles with... fear and anxiety broken relationships financial
issues negative habits and addictions pain and illness Satan's
influence is not the final word for those who, through Jesus,
overcome the world. God has given you the resources you need to be
victorious-and you can access them now through prayer!
