Adults seek out learning for very different reasons in different contexts, and this book is intended to support adult educators’ development in responding to this rich array. There is no single way to be an adult learner, and so it should not be surprising that there is no single way to be an adult educator. However, the authors believe that all educators must demonstrate a commitment to meeting adult learners where they are. Adult educators should help learners move forward not only with new content knowledge, information, and skills, but also with new ways of making meaning and seeing themselves, their role, and the world. This volume introduces many theories and concepts that can help adult educators do this effectively.

In this volume, Dr. Rawlins traces and investigates the varieties, tensions, and functions of friendship for males and females throughout the life course. Using both conceptual and illustrative chapters, the book portrays the degrees of involvement, choice, risk, ambivalence, and ambiguity within friendships, and explores the emotional texture of interactions among friends. A concluding section examines the prospects for friendship in the course of our post-modern blurring of public and private domains and discursive sites.

ISBN : 9780997989311
Seventy now-adult children of divorce give their candid and often heart-wrenching answers to eight questions (arranged in eight chapters, by question), including: What were the main effects of your parents' divorce on your life? What do you say to those who claim that "children are resilient" and "children are happy when their parents are happy"? What would you like to tell your parents then and now? What do you want adults in our culture to know about divorce? What role has your faith played in your healing? Their simple and poignant responses are difficult to read and yet not without hope. Most of the contributors--women and men, young and old, single and married--have never spoken of the pain and consequences of their parents' divorce until now. They have often never been asked, and they believe that no one really wants to know. Despite vastly different circumstances and details, the similarities in their testimonies are striking; as the reader will discover, the death of a child's family impacts the human heart in universal ways.

Men and Women in the Ministry for Christ is a book that will help every disciple of Jesus to know what the Bible actually says concerning the role and the ministry of women in the body of Christ. Based solely on the Word of God as presented in Hebrew and Greek texts, this book exposes the truths that are hidden in almost all English Bible versions. With great objectivity and without adding or changing the biblical texts, this book shows that women as persons are equal to men, and that they have been and can be ministers of Christ, both in leadership and in non-leadership positions. Many things have been said concerning the role and the ministry of women, but this book is very unique, because it deals with the root of the issue, which is actually found in the mistranslations of many biblical texts. An objective and careful examination of controversial passages in the original texts, shows incredible and scandalous inaccuracies in many Bible translations. The mistranslations have become the basis for the misinterpretations and misapplications of many biblical texts. The book treats in detail all the verses of 1 Corinthians 11:315; 14:3435; 1 Timothy 2:1115, and other controversial passages. It treats very important subjects such as: headship, image and glory of God, authority, silence and speaking in the church, spiritual gifts, ministries, etc. It also offers detailed information concerning real women in the Bible, who were entrusted with genuine ministries. Based on the whole counsel of God, the book presents many essential truths concerning men and women that must be accepted by the entire body of Christ. Finally, by presenting very profound truths concerning the genuine call and the ministry that originate from God, this book offers very solid and practical information concerning true ministry for Christ. It also shows what potential leaders must do in order to enter into ministry, if they are called and empowered by God to do so.

'A clear, concise, easy-to-read account of the issues between sex, gender and feminism . . . an important book' Evening Standard 'A call for cool heads at a time of great heat and a vital reminder that revolutions don't always end well' Sunday Times Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it. She looks at biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organization and data collection. Material Girls makes a clear, humane and feminist case for our retaining the ability to discuss reality, and concludes with a positive vision for the future, in which trans rights activists and feminists can collaborate to achieve some of their political aims.

How do people engage in and competently manage discourse and interaction with others? Whether in informal, everyday conversations or professional dialogues, people "do" things while they are speaking or writing. Focusing on the fundamental interactional, social, political and cultural functions of text and talk, this comprehensive volume shows that discourse is not merely form and meaning but also action. This social dimension of discourse is further highlighted by examining the role of social identity and group membership, such as those based on gender, 'race' and ethnicity: How do members of various groups typically speak among each other and how do they communicate with people of other groups or cultures? What is the role of discourse in the perpetuation of sexism or racism? Several chapters use critical discourse analysis to examine the reproduction of social power, dominance and inequality, and special attention is paid to political and corporate discourse. Other contributions show that the complex interplay of the forms, meanings, and actions of discourse both shape and are shaped by culture.
