EVERYTHINK, a philosophical essay about all the aspects of life. It is about provoking questions, rather than to feed you answers. It is meant to make you think. For yourself, by yourself. This is not a lesson. Have you ever seen life in high deathfinition? Look at the cover, what do you see? This is not your usual pirate flag. Two question marks facing each other, two exclamation points crossing each other, forming a skull. Self-reflection and self-determination, limited by time, limited by death. This is wisdom. For freedom. But you can only see it if you EVERYTHINK.
Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life? Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear? Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something? Adolescence is a tortuous path. Making friends, first loves, excelling at school, getting a job, dating and many other responsibilities and obligations fill this time of life with new challenges; stressful events that are not always easy to manage. We don't all react in the same way. It is normal for adolescents to feel worried or anxious from time to time, such as when starting school or moving to a new place. It becomes a problem when anxiety affects their thoughts and behaviour on a daily basis and interferes with their school, home and social life. Many parents go into ‘protection mode’ trying to help their children to solve their problems, helping them to avoid anxiety triggers and/or trying to design a worry-free lifestyle. However, this expenditure of effort may not be sufficient. But don’t misunderstand. Parents can do a lot to help get their children's emotional well-being back on track, but expert information and timely intervention is always the best way forward. I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by: - Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason. - Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary. - Provocative behaviour: the inability to recognise and communicate what is happening inside can provoke the adolescent to express their discomfort through provocative attitudes that can be wrongly interpreted as rebellion. - Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason. - Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality. - Avoidance. This occurs when the adolescent avoids people, places and situations that, for various reasons, can cause anxiety or extreme discomfort such as school, peers, closed or crowded places. - Tendency to excessive programming and control: adolescents may try to control anxiety within themselves by obsessively controlling schedules, habits, times in their own life and that of others. - Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem. - Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms. Do they sound familiar to you? If not resolved in time, these problems cause impairment of social adaptation and social functioning, increasing the risk of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders and leading to potentially serious consequences that could otherwise be avoided with the right precautions. Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head. The worksheets and exercises that you will find inside this book will help you to learn to manage embarrassing social situations with grace and security, so you can establish real bonds with the people you want to meet. Based on proven Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the skills you learn will also help you speak to yourself when you need them and remove the fear of class projects that put you in trouble. In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?

"Masterfully connects Scripture to nature and nature to God." --Lori Wildenberg, national speaker, parent coach, and author of six parenting books including The Messy Life of Parenting For a generation whose eyes are constantly trained on screens, encountering nature at all is increasingly difficult--much less seeing how God is revealed there. How can parents help children reengage with the natural world that is so full of amazement, creativity, and love? Eryn Lynum is a certified master naturalist, Bible teacher, and mom of four who wants to help families encounter and understand the connection between God and creation. She shares her own story of surrounding her kids with nature, and invites other parents to consider a similar journey. With practical sections that look at flora and fauna, water and sky through the lens of the Bible and activities to integrate faith and the natural world, Rooted in Wonder helps adults instill within your kids an unshakable faith. Through the art of play, the drive of discovery, and the awe of adventure, children will gain a sense of wonder in their Creator that will last a lifetime. "A beautifully written, powerful treatment of the natural world as God's revelation to his people . . . [that] weaves theological insights with practical advice on how to instill a love for the natural word in kids of all ages." --Sy Garte, PhD, author of The Works of His Hands and editor-in-chief of God and Nature "With joy and practical know-how, Eryn Lynum helps parents connect the beauty of creation with love for the Creator. Rooted in Wonder is a must-read for helping the next generation to get outdoors and get to know God." --Matthew Sleeth, MD, executive director of Blessed Earth
Most contemporary presentations of the Christian God focus on either his 'oneness' or his 'relationality'. These are often assumed to contradict one another, and language about God's love and relationality often settles into a comforting but ultimately shallow and unreliable gesture towards bland niceness. Peter Sanlon offers a fresh, stimulating examination of the triune God who is love. He guides us through the classical theological tradition of Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas - aiming to help us think and speak more faithfully about God. In Part One, Sanlon introduces the vital concept of 'simplicity', without which it is impossible fully to affirm all the Bible teaches about God. Part Two examines the relationality of God's love in Scripture. The author considers the importance of God's simplicity for the atonement, and concludes with some reflections on how Christians will be better equipped to engage with contemporary culture if they remain sensitive to both God's simplicity and his relationality.

The brief rise and precipitous fall of “Islamic liberalism” Just a few short years ago, the “Turkish Model” was being hailed across the world. The New York Times gushed that prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) had “effectively integrated Islam, democracy, and vibrant economics,” making Turkey, according to the International Crisis Group, “the envy of the Arab world.” And yet, a more recent CNN headline wondered if Erdogan had become a "dictator.” In this incisive analysis, Cihan Tugal argues that the problem with this model of Islamic liberalism is much broader and deeper than Erdogan’s increasing authoritarianism. The problems are inherent in the very model of Islamic liberalism that formed the basis of the AKP's ascendancy and rule since 2002—an intended marriage of neoliberalism and democracy. And this model can also only be understood as a response to regional politics—especially as a response to the “Iranian Model”—a marriage of corporatism and Islamic revolution. The Turkish model was a failure in its home country, and the dynamics of the Arab world made it a tough commodity to export. Tugal’s masterful explication of the demise of Islamic liberalism brings in Egypt and Tunisia, once seen as the most likely followers of the Turkish model, and provides a path-breaking examination of their regimes and Islamist movements, as well as paradigm-shifting accounts of Turkey and Iran.
Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good by Heather Menzies Pdf
Commoning was a way of life for most of our ancestors. In Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good, author Heather Menzies journeys to her roots in the Scottish Highlands, where her family lived in direct relation with the land since before recorded time. Beginning with an intimate account of unearthing the heritage of the commons and the real tragedy of its loss, Menzies offers a detailed description of the self-organizing, self-governing, and self-informing principles of this nearly forgotten way of life, including its spiritual practices and traditions. She then identifies pivotal commons practices that could be usefully revived today. A final "manifesto" section pulls these facets together into a unified vision for reclaiming the commons, drawing a number of current popular initiatives into the commoning frame, such as local food security, permaculture, and the Occupy Movement. An engaging memoir of personal and political discovery, Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good combines moving reflections on our common heritage with a contemporary call to action, individually and collectively; locally and globally. Readers will be inspired by the book's vision of reviving the commons ethos of empathy and mutual respect, and energized by her practical suggestions for connection people and place for the common good. Heather Menzies is an award-winning writer and scholar and member of the Order of Canada. She is the author of nine books, including Whose Brave New World? and No Time.
