Guardians Without Wings by Robert Fertig,Miriam Fertig Pdf

This is a true story about how the system of justice works to protect America's children, with the essential support of thousands of volunteers, Guardian ad Litem (GALs), also known as Court Appointed Special Advocates. We call them "Guardians without Wings." We have found the lack of proper education, the influence of secularism, and especially, poor moral upbringing, represent the fundamental causes of child abandonment, neglect and abuse. More than 75% of Americans claim to be Judeo-Christians at the beginning of this century. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are based on Christian principles, yet many have discarded these values that are the foundation of our society. We believe that all children are born innocent and lovable! It is the parents, relatives, role models, peer group pressure, secular (and atheistic) teachers, and mainly the "culture of death", that have caused too many of these children to grow up to become dysfunctional adults, and in many cases, appalling parents. What do we mean by "culture of death" in western society? It is our growing divorce rates (over 52%); Abortion-On-Demand (50 million so far) and rise of Euthanasia; Unmarried Parents, who lack responsibility for their children; and the epidemic of illegal drug addiction problem. Some parents are clueless about the essentials of parenting. They are immature adults themselves. As one Judge said, "they are like rabbits that keep on reproducing." Should these "adults" have children, if they are morally, and psychologically unable to be loving, caring parents? You can't love, if you have not been loved as a child. The lack of spiritual formation (Jewish, Christian, among other faiths) was predominant in about 80-85% of our cases, and that represents one of the most important reasons for the breakdown of social order in our society. Conversely, we must be very careful to avoid extreme fundamentalists that will actually create further issues for our children. "If we have full employment and great economic growth ... but our children have not learned to walk in goodness, justice and mercy, then the American experiment ... will have failed."

Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernieres Pdf

Birds Without Wings traces the fortunes of one small community in southwest Turkey (Anatolia) in the early part of the last century—a quirky community in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully over the centuries and where friendship, even love, has transcended religious differences. But with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the onset of the Great War, the sweep of history has a cataclysmic effect on this peaceful place: The great love of Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim, a Muslim shepherd who courts her from near infancy, culminates in tragedy and madness; Two inseparable childhood friends who grow up playing in the hills above the town suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the bloody struggle; and Rustem Bey, a wealthy landlord, who has an enchanting mistress who is not what she seems. Far away from these small lives, a man of destiny who will come to be known as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is emerging to create a country from the ruins of an empire. Victory at Gallipoli fails to save the Ottomans from ultimate defeat and, as a new conflict arises, Muslims and Christians struggle to survive, let alone understand, their part in the great tragedy that will reshape the whole region forever.

Best Interests of the Children by Miriam Fertig M.A.,Robert Pdf

What should professionalsjudges, lawyers, teachers, social workers, and Guardian ad Litem or CASA volunteers consider in pursuing the Best Interest of Children who have been abandoned, neglected or abused? How can Department of Children and Families improve their systems? Best Interests of the Children explains that the ethical principles of Beneficence and Non-Maleficence exist in the medical world to maximize benefit and to avoid harm to patients. The duty is to assist persons in need, and its converse, the duty to refrain from causing harm. These same principles should apply to the Best Interest standard used in the children and families dependency welfare system, to protect defenseless children from parental abandonment, neglect and abuse. When parents separate, which of them should have primary responsibility for the childs care? Who is the actual psychological parent? With compassion and actual case experiences, the authors, Miriam and Robert Fertig, help readers understand many of the key issues inherent in childcare decisions. They present a dozen Florida cases, as seen through the Eyes of Guardians. They conclude that timely and effective services and continuity of care for the family is essential for the physical, emotional and psychological well-being of children. Case summaries from other states indicate that Americas Department of Children and Families (DCF) has serious systemic problems. The authors propose realistic solutions to improve this nationwide system. Best Interests of the Children will also enlighten the public and their legislators. Best Interests is an eye-opening, heart-wrenching, information-packed guide to the world of families in crisis and the crucial role of Guardian ad Litem. Written in a conversational style, it can be blunt and feisty at times, but is always enlightening. I found myself shocked on one page, and then extremely edified and encouraged on the page that followed. Any book that is so provocative and stimulating will occasionally ignite a mental mini-debate between reader and author, but this is part of the fun and education, that comes from any book this stimulating, that penetrates mind and heart at the same time. Highly recommended. Reader Review by: Thomas Woodward (Ph.D. USF), Professor of Trinity College, Founder and Director of the C. S. Lewis Society, in Florida

Dracones Guardian by Sheri-Lynn Marean Pdf

Angel’s aren’t supposed to wield emotion … … and they’re definitely not supposed to fall in love. As commander of Heaven’s elite forces, Archangel Zandraziel learned to keep his emotions hidden. But he couldn’t help questioning some of the Council’s actions, thus earning himself the task of patrolling the fallen in the fifty-two realms. His job? Eliminate any who join Satan and Lucifer in darkness. It wouldn’t be easy, but Zandraziel was a warrior, so how hard could it be? To live surrounded by emotional beings was much harder than he expected, and eventually he became Zander, a male with a mate and family. Then tragedy struck, leaving him devastated and vowing to protect those he has left—his children. Zander’s goal for the next fourteen years is to shield them from their enemy. Until he meets his sexy neighbor. Zander resists the instant attraction. Chloe’s human and his world is dangerous—a new foe has arisen. But as he prepares for this latest threat, it soon becomes clear that there may be more to Chloe than he first believed. Yet if he accepts what's between them, he could lose her, and if he doesn’t, he could lose everything he holds dear. Dare he take the leap? Get it now and join Zander and his quirky family in this dark, magical romance full of twists and turns that'll leave you craving more. *Can be read as a standalone. If you like dark, paranormal fantasy romance filled with Angels, Fallen, dragons, wolves, vampires, and crazy deranged villains, with deep complex worlds similar to those of Larissa Ione's Demonica & Lords of Deliverance, J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Faith Hunter, and Patricia Briggs then you'll love the Dracones. "...all the drama of Heaven and Hell and the sweet second chances. This series keeps getting better and better. If you like epic story-telling, this series is for you. The author writes such compelling stories you get involved in the characters and their lives....This book is exceptional." "I LOVE this series. Dragons, Archangels, good guys, bad guys and the ones they love... all play a role in making this series a spectacular read. The world building is addictively familiar, but not. The characters are well thought out, developed and show an amazing propensity to evolve. Ms. Marean is extremely skilled at weaving an emotional rollercoaster ride of a story. I laughed (a lot!), cried (get a box of tissues ready!), cheered, hissed, wanted to reach in an shake a couple of characters and fell in love over and over. This book contains enough backstory and focused resolution to be read as stand alone, but why!?! You're going to want to read this series from start to finish. I devoured this book and wanted more. There is a sign of a great book... you get to the last page and scream "Noooooooooooo! I want more!" If you love reading JR Ward, Patricia Briggs, Gena Showalter or Deborah Cooke, you need to add Sheri-Lynn Marean to your "Next to be loved list."
