It provides students with a practical, reader-friendly experience and we present and explain our materials, as much as possible, in an easy-to-read, conversational style.

Our text also attempts to eliminate the unnecessary legal formulations and esoteric terminology that the beginning criminal justice student may not always need. The book provides basic and fundamental information that can easily be absorbed by the beginning criminal justice student in one semester. It is our intent to provide a book that will engage students, rather than burdening them with information that may, at times, be overwhelming and unnecessary at the introductory level.

A Mother's Grace by Michelle Moore Pdf

What is grace? It is the exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; a disposition to benefit or serve another. A mother's grace merits this definition and takes it even further. When a child is born, so is a mother, as she sets off on the most profound, rewarding journey one can take. Our mothers sacrifice and save us, nurture and heal us, guide and teach us. And at each stage, they must learn to trust and let go. The women featured in A Mother's Grace learned this lesson in the cruelest sense after a profound loss of life, home, health, or livelihood brought them to their knees. Though they experienced unimaginable tragedy, each of them turned their suffering and grief into something positive to help others. Through their tears, these everyday women found resilience, and carved their own intuitive path to create powerful nonprofit organizations that are helping to make the world safer and more empathic for us all. Their poignant stories will inspire you to follow them as they lead us to a brighter and more hopeful future. Book jacket.

Prime Rib & Apple by Jill Briscoe Pdf

"Prime rib" was chosen from among all the others in Adam's rib cage for a very special task. "Omnipotence" freed her from her humble origin in Adam's "cage" to bring more joy to Adam as she yielded and responded to him of her own free will -- more than she could do as a mere piece of bone without the power of choice. "Prime rib" was not to be a "spare rib," but a personal, rational, moral being, free forever to choose to fit back into Adam's life. In her creatively written account of Adam and Eve, Jill Briscoe opens the door to an entirely new, totally unique and clever study of "prime ribs" in the Old Testament.
