It might be your weight, your thighs, or your nose--but no matter what it is, it keeps you from feeling good about yourself. In Love Your Looks, Carolynn Hillman shows you how to get beyond societal or self-imposed standards and learn to accept--and appreciate--your own special attractiveness. Book jacket.

Paulo Freire (1921-1997) is one of the most widely read and studied educational thinkers of our time. His seminal works, including Pedagogy of the Oppressed, sparked the global social and philosophical movement of critical pedagogy and his ideas about the close ties between education and social justice and politics are as relevant today as they ever were. In this book, Walter Omar Kohan interweaves philosophical, educational, and biographical elements of Freire's life which prompt us to reflect on what we thought we knew about Freire, and also on the relationship between education and politics more broadly. It offers a new and timely reading of Freire's work and life. The book is structured around five key themes that provide a new perspective on Freire's work: life, equality, love, errantry and childhood. It includes a contextualization of Freire's work within the past and current political terrain in Brazil, and encourages educators to put themselves and their educational work into question by highlighting some of Freire's lesser known thoughts on time. The book also includes a conversation with Lutgardes Costa Freire, Paulo's Freire's youngest son, a dialogue with the co-founder of the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society, Jason Wozniak (West Chester University, USA), and a foreword by the renowned Freirean scholar and activist Antonia Darder (Loyola Marymount University, USA).

"Yes, we can forgive others. Yes, others can forgive us. But the most powerful forgiveness of all is the forgiveness we give to ourselves. It is the language of self-love, and it is why we are here: to heal from our past, to learn to love ourselves, and to serve others with our gifts." In Forgiveness for the Soul: The Five Steps to Self-Forgiveness, author Beth Freeman guides us on a journey to self-forgiveness that she, herself, continues to follow. As she shares her personal journey, she also provides us with the steps and tools necessary to forgive ourselves. When we forgive ourselves, we learn to have compassion for who we were leading us to love and accept ourselves as we are. When we do so, we are then able to share that love and acceptance to those around us co-creating a path to peace for us all. Forgiveness for the Soul is meant for anyone who wants guidance on the path to self-acceptance and self-love. The five steps to self-forgiveness outlined in this book provide the framework to understand, practice, and actively work towards self-forgiveness in our own lives.

About the Book Love Letter to the Young’uns is about aging, specifically the author’s aging process. While it’s addressed to young adults, it is equally applicable to seniors. Hearne-Clark provides insight into the view of her particular generation, “Baby Boomers,” for whom the concept of consumerism was created. Using a combination of Scripture and humor, Hearne-Clark shows that aging and eventually death are not something to fear, but a natural process to be cherished. About the Author Shirley M. Hearne-Clark is a licensed and ordained minister with a bachelor’s in Christian Study, with an emphasis on Bible Studies, and a master’s in Mental Health with an emphasis on grief and bereavement. Her hobbies include singing and writing. She is especially interested in social injustice in regard to all kinds of diverse people. Her family is at the heart of all that she does, as there is nothing without family.

An ancient practice strengthens our awareness of God’s healing presence. “Suffering, sorrow, injustice, confusion, and death can touch any of us, at any time . . . the Stations can offer consolation and comfort when we are grieving; healing and restoration when we are parched; inspiration and guidance when we are searching or lost or simply beset by the turmoil and temptation, isolation and insecurity that unsettle all our lives.” —From the introduction Praying the Stations of the Cross offers a life-transforming spiritual practice. Grounded in Scripture, the Stations remind readers of the overarching power of God’s love for all people and our steadfast hope for redemption, a sure and true comfort in the face of pain and sorrow. Artist Margaret Adams Parker and theologian Katherine Sonderegger make the Stations of the Cross accessible for those new to the practice and offer compelling insight to those with long familiarity. Equally useful for individuals, groups, and congregations, Praying the Stations of the Cross can be used as an ongoing spiritual practice, a service offered in times of sorrow, struggle, or conflict, or a Lenten devotion.
