Clearing Obstacles to Work: A Wise Giver's Guide to Fostering Self-Reliance

By: David Bass

Cracks are becoming visible in American work habits. Whole subpopulations now have weak attachments to self-supporting labor. This worsens poverty and economic mobility. It also damages well-being in subtler ways—because work plays a vital role in building social connections, and boosting self-respect and happiness. Any sensible effort to improve American prosperity today must begin by bolstering work. Alas, government agencies have a very checkered history when it comes to helping those who have struggled in the workforce develop the capacities to do better in the future. Statistically, most government job-training programs are quite unimpressive. There are, however, many charitable programs that have demonstrated real success at leading unskilled persons, single mothers, inexperienced minorities, released prisoners, former addicts, and other at-risk populations into lasting, transformative employment. This book was written to help donors find those successful models and strategies. Because when it comes to curing deprivation, softening inequality, improving life satisfaction, and strengthening society, work works.

A Layman’S Guide to Ecclesiastes

An Inquiring Mind Looks at Life

By: Dr. David R. Brown

The book of Ecclesiastes was written three thousand years ago, but it reads like it was written for twenty-first-century men and women. Why dont pleasure and wealth bring lasting satisfaction? Is life really worth the hassle? No matter what you accomplish or how wise you are, isnt the end game always the samedeath? A Laymans Guide to Ecclesiastes helps you work through these and other questions the author of Ecclesiastes ponders. A Laymans Guide to Ecclesiastes differs from other books on Ecclesiastes. It is written from a laymans point of view; the author is an astronomer, who nevertheless has gained a deep appreciation for Ecclesiastes during his fifteen-year period of study. A Laymans Guide to Ecclesiastes is not restricted to one point of view on a passage. The author presents his view but also includes the thoughts of other commentators covering a wide spectrum of interpretations, so that you can come to a solid understanding of the issues on your own. Young or old, skeptic or believer, wise or searching for wisdom, let A Laymans Guide to Ecclesiastes assist your search for understanding in your life experiences, whether they are mundane, extraordinary, or seemingly inexplicable.

A Valency Dictionary of English

A Corpus-Based Analysis of the Complementation Patterns of English Verbs, Nouns and Adjectives

By: Thomas Herbst,David Heath,Ian F. Roe,Dieter Götz

This dictionary provides a valency description of English verbs, nouns and adjectives. Each entry contains a comprehensive list of the complementation patterns identified on the basis of the largest corpus of English available at the present time. All examples are taken directly from the COBUILD/Birmingham corpus. The valency description comprises statements about the quantitative valency of the lexical units established, an inventory of their obligatory, contextually optional and purely optional complements as well as systematic information on the semantic and collocational properties of the complements. An outline of the model of valency theory used in this dictionary is provided in the introduction.

Here For A Reason

By: David Harder,Del Downs,Gary Harder

In this second devotional, expanded to cover 12 new original songs, one of the authors describes how his airplane, carrying the shrouded body of a heart attack victim, landed only to have the man throw off his covers and walk off the plane. Another of the writers of this book explains seeing a miracle when a young man walked unharmed out of what should have been electrically charged swimming pool waters. And the third scribe tells for the first time a previously untold secret of why his army platoon buddies were fatally ambushed and why he wasn't with them. All this and lots more awaits the reader in ‘Here for a Reason.’
