THE UNHEARD CRY OF THE IGBO PEOPLE by KENNETH CHIGBO Pdf
In this book, which itself is the outcome of an Award winning research work, Fr chigbo utilized the resources in Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s Meta-psychology of the Meaning of Human Life to study the Phenomena of the proliferation of prayer and healing ministries in Igboland. He states: The religious and spiritual world-outlooks of Ndi Igbo predisposed them to seek for meaning of life in a religious-spiritual setting. The double assaults of the invasive colonialism and Christian Missionary exploits, as well as, these catastrophes: slavery and slave trade, the Nigerian-Biafran war, Neo-Colonialism, the exploitation, marginalization, and oppression of the Igbo people motivated them to raise questions about the fundamental quality of ‘being human’ – who am I and what is the meaning of my life? The economic hardship, political instability and the attack on fundamental Igbo cultural heritage also joined forces with the other factors mentioned above to cause existential frustration and existential vacuum within the Igbo population. The author developed and explored what he calls “Heschelian Diagnostic Tool”, as well as, the ten psycho-pastoral phases in the search for the meaning in Human life. He proposed a new vision for prayer and healing ministry which is centered on the empowerment of each individual person to respond responsibly to the demand-quality of life – to engage in actions that are responses to the questions life poses before each unique individual. This is an invaluable resource for all those involved or interested in the diverse field of pastoral care.

When a child with autism is driven to the edge, it is by the accumulation of explosive stimuli to which he cannot otherwise respond. The edge to which he takes you, his family, is, at the time, where he lives. You are being taken, in a crisis, to his world - and it is extremely troubling. To cope - at the very least, cope, because this is not sustainable but just an emergency response - you have to somehow ride it out. Getting everyone out of that place, back into the world of the rational, is a distant, secondary goal. 'The way the author writes about his son Joshua is beautiful, tender and a joy to read. Always absorbing, moving, intelligent and clear, this book puts into words so much of our experience as an autism family that I have found impossible to describe. Highly recommended to anyone trying to better understand this experience.' - Laura Bloom, author of The Cleanskin 'This is a book that left me as exposed and scraped raw as the writer left himself and his family. This is no bad thing, though, as the flaying was done with precision and each cut was examined mercilessly. Karpin doesn't spare himself. The crisis at the centre of the book builds up with a novel's narrative force, but it's real and it happened and it's oh so sad. There is joy, though, as well as the confronting question of how to respond well to a child's disability, if it forces us to be bystanders to their status as a bystander.' - Kate Evans, ABC Radio National, The Bookshelf 'The Crisis is bold in its determination to anatomise the experiences of its author's family for the benefit of others who face similar circumstances. In its unflinching openness and generosity, it is striking. Yet Karpin is a superb prose stylist, so this is a narrative with flair as well as urgency, compelling in its telling as well as its important tale. It is a courageous work of witness, and a work of unexpected beauty - the beauty of the grit and care of this family's work of love, and of exquisite crafting.' - Felicity Plunkett, poet and critic

Weather Reports from the Autism Front by James C. Wilson Pdf
Based on detailed research and a lifetime of personal experience, James Wilson recounts his personal journey as the primary companion of his now twenty-six-year-old autistic son, Sam. This realistic, irreverent account of an autistic young man and his misadventures while transitioning to adulthood provides enlightening truths as well as sardonic humor. Formally seen as a neurological disorder, autism is increasingly being looked upon as simply a form of neurodiversity. Rejecting mainstream attitudes, Wilson explores this modern view of autism through his own experience as well as quotes from autistic people and bloggers, some of whom are the most vocal proponents of this viewpoint. A detailed bibliography accompanies this engaging memoir of a father and son's experience negotiating the slippery slopes of normality.
