The Death of an Adult Child

A Book for and about Bereaved Parents

By: Jeanne Webster Blank

This new work addresses the phenomenon of parental grief in general, emphasizing the experiences of parents of children who died at ages eighteen and over. The author, Jeanne Webster Blank, wrote this work because she needed help in dealing with her grief after her 39-year-old daughter died of breast cancer in 1987." "This is not a clinical study; it is based solely on the personal experiences of the author and some sixty other bereaved parents who answered her questionnaire. This book demonstrates that bereaved parents share many similar reactions to their adult child's death; it lets grieving parents know it is acceptable to feel and act the way they do; it attempts to explain what is happening to them; it tells them what others have done to help themselves; it assures them that some day they will be better, though never completely the way they were before their loss."--Jacket.

The Death of an Adult Child

A Book for and About Bereaved Parents

By: Jeanne Webster Blank

This book was written to be a comfort and guide for bereaved parents whose adult child has died; to show by sharing our experiences that we are not alone in our responses to our child's death; that we are not weak, defective in character or otherwise inadequate because of the way we grieve; to spell out ways in which some of us have increased our understanding of our condition, found solace, dispelled guilt and anger, overcome depression, come to terms with survivors, and memorialized our deceased children. Questionnaires were sent to more than sixty bereaved parents of adult children who died and many anonymous examples from these questionnaires are used throughout the book.

Building Church A Church Full of Leaders

A Guide for Unleashing the Leadership Potential of Your Church

By: Dr. Jeanne Porter King

Imagine what ministry in your church would look like if every member was serving in some way. Now imagine how effective your ministry would be if everyone served with a leader’s mind-set. In Building a Church Full of Leaders, Dr. Jeanne Porter King sets out to help pastors and ministry leaders move from using traditional methods of moving people from the pews to service, to developing strategic and transformative systems for organizing ministry, recruitment, training, and ongoing development that aim to help church members see themselves not just as volunteers but as servants and co-laborers of ministry. Filled with both practical and spiritual tools for developing an effective leadership model, Building a Church Full of Leaders will help you transform the way you shape and deliver ministry at your church—as well as the ones who deliver it.

Geography and Genealogy

Locating Personal Pasts

By: Jeanne Kay Guelke

Genealogy has become a widely popular pursuit, as millions of people now research their family history, trace their forebears, attend family reunions and travel to ancestral home sites. Geographers have much to contribute to the serious study of the family history phenomenon. Land records, maps and even GIS are increasingly used by genealogical investigators. As a cultural practice, it encompasses peoples' emotional attachments to ancestral places and is widely manifest on the ground as personal heritage travel. Family history research also has significant potential to challenge accepted geographical views of migration, ethnicity, socio-economic class and place-based identities. This volume is possibly the first ever book to address the geographical and scholarly aspects of this increasingly popular social phenomenon. It highlights tools and information sources used by geographers and their application to family history research. Furthermore, it examines family history as a socio-cultural practice, including the activities of tourism, archival research and DNA testing.

When Church Became Theatre

The Transformation of Evangelical Architecture and Worship in Nineteenth-century America

By: Jeanne Halgren Kilde

In the 1880s, socio-economic and technological changes in the United States contributed to the rejection of Christian architectural traditions and the development of the radically new auditorium church. Jeanne Kilde links this shift in evangelical Protestant architecture to changes in worship style and religious mission.
