Geared for students, this book contains chapters devoted to the background and history of foster care in America; the systems's problems, controversies, and solutions; original essay contributions exploring various facets of the system; profiles of leading foster care activists and organizations; governmental data and excerpts of primary documents on the topic; and an annotated list of important books, scholarly journals, and nonprint sources for further research.

They can serve as a model for how to stay connected across generations for the well-being of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and as a bellwether for what to avoid. In this book, the authors describe the struggles as well as the triumphs that people encounter with their in-laws from the perspectives of both generations and suggest ways to improve the relationships"--

Book excerpt: Drawing on Scripture, church history, and his own story, Shane Claiborne explores how a passion for social justice issues surrounding life and death--such as war, gun ownership, the death penalty, racial injustice, abortion, poverty, and the environment--intersects with our faith as we advocate for life in its totality. Many of us wonder how to think about and act on issues of life and death beyond abortion and the death penalty--yet the heated debates in our churches and the confusion of our own hearts sometimes feel overwhelming. What does a balanced, Christian view of what it means to be "pro-life" really look like? Combining stories, theological reflection, and a little wit with a Southern accent, activist Shane Claiborne explores the battle between life and death that goes back to the Garden of Eden. Shane draws on his childhood growing up in the Bible Belt, his own change of perspective on how to advocate for life, and his years of working on behalf of all people to help us: Learn from the Bible and the early church about valuing life Deepen our understanding of what a pro-life stance can look like Discover ways to discuss topics that are dividing our culture and churches Find encouragement when we feel politically homeless Renew our hope that there is a good way forward, even in difficult times We need a new movement that stands up for life--without exceptions. This moving and incredibly timely book creates a larger framework for thinking about God's love and our faith as we embrace a consistent ethic that values human life from womb to tomb.
Download or read book Sterling written by Jan Boles Noble and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Siena Madison announces that she will spend an entire week of her highly rated daytime television show revealing the history of her family—and all its secrets—she begins to doubt the wisdom of having allowed her beloved grandmother, Savanna, to convince her to do it. Savanna had grown up in the shadow of the Connor mansion where her mother had served as the housekeeper and cook and her father had been the overseer of the large poultry ranch in East Texas. The summer Loran Connor came home from his freshman year away at college, he saw a different girl than the little black companion he had grown up with. By summer’s end, the young people were in love; and the night before Loran’s return to college, they gave each other that physical gift that can only be given once. When circumstances make it impossible for Savanna to remain in the only home she has ever known, she is forced to make a life for herself that produces great success and wealth. In a chance encounter, Savanna and Loran are brought together, and she is free at last to reveal her long-kept secret. A love that endured through years of absence is rekindled, and lives are changed as they learn to look at the hearts of people rather than the color of skin.

While dealing with the Islamophobia that she faces at school, Zara has to lay low, trying not to stir up any trouble and jeopardize their family's dependent visa status while they await their green card approval, which has been in process for almost nine years. But one day her tormentor, star football player Tyler Benson, takes things too far, leaving a threatening note in her locker, and gets suspended. As an act of revenge against her for speaking out, Tyler and his friends vandalize Zara's house with racist graffiti, leading to a violent crime that puts Zara's entire future at risk. Now she must pay the ultimate price and choose between fighting to stay in the only place she's ever called home or losing the life she loves and everyone in it. From the author of the "heart-wrenching yet hopeful" (Samira Ahmed) novel, The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali, comes a timely, intimate look at what it means to be an immigrant in America today, and the endurance of hope and faith in the face of hate.
