Carol's Counsel, Comedies, & Calamities is a trilogy. Volumes I, II, & III include stories, poems, songs, and Bible studies - all designed to bring you into a deep place of commitment to Christ. The process of dying to self is painful. But it is only after we understand the fellowship of Christ's sufferings that we can be trusted with His resurrection power. Surrender is humbling but it is the nesting ground for all great things that are birthed in us and through us. The contents of this book will ignite emotions. You may find yourself laughing or, perhaps, even crying. Most of all, like me, I hope you will find yourself learning - learning to be conformed to Christ's image day by day. Some of the many thought provoking questions I address in this trilogy include: How do we know Jesus is God the Son? What is faith & why do we need it? Why does God allow suffering? Will pets be resurrected? How do we know the difference between sound doctrine versus false apostles? How does God feel about psychics, purgatory, reincarnation, body piercing, tattoos, and drinking? Is it okay to read the horoscope? How serious is gossip? Is it okay to play the lotto? What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? How should we view abortion or mercy killing? How can porn be overcome? What does fasting accomplish? How can we turn from addiction to adoration? Is internet dating acceptable? Should we believe in the theory of evolution; or, are we here by divine design? What are heaven & hell like? What must we each do to be eternally saved?
Sunset Hill was a tiny, quiet town with an aerial view of all the surrounding cities. It was peaceful. Bad things just didnt happen there. On those summer evenings when the sky was lit up in striking colors of gold, pink, and orange, folks were sure that God must live there, too. And when the lilac trees were in full bloom and that heavenly scent was carried by a breeze, you knew you had found paradise. Was it a homicide or a suicide? Jennifer asked her friend, Alice, whose neighborhood had just been rocked by the news of a dreadful death. A woman in her early thirties, Katie Percival, had been found lifeless lying in a pool of blood in her basement. It was Alice, herself, that had discovered the grizzly scene. This book is so much more than just another murder mystery. Its so much more than just entering a world of fantasy where you become the detective. Instead, it is the story of some ordinary people who found some extraordinary grace in the midst of some very tragic mistakes. Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

On the heels of recent revelations of past and ongoing injustices, reconciliation and solidarity by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people is even more urgent. But it is a complex endeavour. In The Solidarity Encounter, Carol Lynne D’Arcangelis links interviews with activists and her own self-reflections to current scholarship to take readers into the fraught terrain of solidarity organizing. Multi-issue coalitions such as Idle No More, #NoDAPL, MMIWG2SQ, Black Lives Matter, and Fridays for Future all depend on the collaboration of diverse communities and on avoiding harmful detours into historically derived helping behaviours. D’Arcangelis grapples with this key tension: colonizing behaviours that result when white women centre their own goals and frameworks as they participate in activism with Indigenous women and groups. The Solidarity Encounter concludes by offering strategies for respecting boundaries between self and other, providing a constructive framework for non-colonizing solidarity that can be applied in any context of unequal power.
Acclaimed for its thorough yet concise overview of the natural history of psychiatric disorders, Goodwin & Guze's Psychiatric Diagnosis has been newly and extensively updated in this seventh edition. As in previous editions, each chapter systematically covers the definition, historical background, epidemiology, clinical picture, natural history, complications, family studies, differential diagnosis, and clinical management of each disorder. Terminology has been updated for consistency with changes made in DSM-5®. Recent epidemiologic and neurobiological findings are provided, including the long term course of mood disorders, genetics and neuroimaging of schizophrenia and mood and other disorders, cognitive changes in relation to depression and dementia, brain stimulation techniques, outcome studies of eating disorders, and epidemiology of substance use disorders.
Saving the Neighborhood tells the charged, still controversial story of the rise and fall of racially restrictive covenants in America, and offers rare insight into the ways legal and social norms reinforce one another, acting with pernicious efficacy to codify and perpetuate intolerance. The early 1900s saw an unprecedented migration of African Americans leaving the rural South in search of better work and equal citizenship. In reaction, many white communities instituted property agreements—covenants—designed to limit ownership and residency according to race. Restrictive covenants quickly became a powerful legal guarantor of segregation, their authority facing serious challenge only in 1948, when the Supreme Court declared them legally unenforceable in Shelley v. Kraemer. Although the ruling was a shock to courts that had upheld covenants for decades, it failed to end their influence. In this incisive study, Richard Brooks and Carol Rose unpack why. At root, covenants were social signals. Their greatest use lay in reassuring the white residents that they shared the same goal, while sending a warning to would-be minority entrants: keep out. The authors uncover how loosely knit urban and suburban communities, fearing ethnic mixing or even “tipping,” were fair game to a new class of entrepreneurs who catered to their fears while exacerbating the message encoded in covenants: that black residents threatened white property values. Legal racial covenants expressed and bestowed an aura of legitimacy upon the wish of many white neighborhoods to exclude minorities. Sadly for American race relations, their legacy still lingers.
