Terminal Lucidity

A Chilling Medical Thriller With The Tug of Romance

By: Jo Loveday

First, do no harm… A deadly storm is brewing off the sultry coast of Florida and within the sterile walls of Palm Beach County’s Becham Hospital. Nurse Ariel Savin thrives in the demanding world of critical care, but on an assignment to the neurological unit, she discovers a horrifying secret: esteemed neurosurgeon Dr. Harold Goss is performing questionable experiments on his helpless patients, trapping them as living cadavers in a shadowy half-world between life and death. Goss built his neurological unit for research in brain stem regeneration to save the life of his brain-dead wife. But funding for Goss’s noble quest has dried up. Dark investors step in with a plan to commodify human consciousness, trading lives for profit. They’re demanding more bodies. It’s up to Goss to provide them. He’s not about to let Ariel or ethical dilemmas get in his way. Falsely accused of causing a patient’s brain death, Ariel’s reputation is in shambles. Her father's life hangs by a thread and her partner is unwittingly tangled in a web of deceit. Ariel faces a whirlwind of betrayal and loss as a hurricane draws closer. She’s in a harrowing race against time to outwit death and unravel the truth. Seconds matter and the next breath is not guaranteed. Can Ariel outwit sinister predators and thwart a medical massacre, or will the oncoming storm demolish all hope for love and justice?

Children Who Resist Post-Separation Parental Contact

A Differential Approach for Legal and Mental Health Professionals

By: Barbara Jo Fidler,Nicholas Bala,Michael A. Saini

Interest in the problem of children who resist contact with or become alienated from a parent after separation or divorce is growing, due in part to parents' increasing frustrations with the apparent ineffectiveness of the legal system in handling these unique cases. There is a need for legal and mental health professionals to improve their understanding of, and response to, this polarizing social dynamic. Children Who Resist Post-Separation Parental Contact is a critical, empirically based review of parental alienation that integrates the best research evidence with clinical insight from interviews with leading scholars and practitioners. The authors - Fidler, Bala, and Saini - a psychologist, a lawyer and a social worker, are an multidisciplinary team who draw upon the growing body of mental health and legal literature to summarize the historical development and controversies surrounding the concept of "alienation" and explain the causes, dynamics, and differentiation of various types of parent-child relationship issues. The authors review research on prevalence, risk factors, indicators, assessment, and measurement to form a conceptual integration of multiple factors relevant to the etiology and maintenance of the problem of strained parent-child relationships. A differential approach to assessment and intervention is provided. Children's rights, the role of their wishes and preferences in legal proceedings, and the short- and long-term impact of parental alienation are also discussed. Considering legal, clinical, prevention, and intervention strategies, and concluding with recommendations for practice, research, and policy, this book is a much-needed resource for mental health professionals, judges, family lawyers, child protection workers, mediators, and others who work with families dealing with divorce, separation, and child custody issues.

God's Holy People

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

God's Holy People

A Theme in Biblical Theology

By: Jo Bailey Wells

God calls his people to be holy. What does this mean? Holiness means belonging to God and being stamped with his character. This belonging is expressed for ancient Israel in the story of the foundational events on Mount Sinai. The idea is then developed, refined and transformed through the establishment of the priesthood, the gift of the Law, the challenge of the prophets and, in the New Testament, through the life of Christ. This book sets out these perspectives alongside each other, and considers their interplay within the canon of scripture as a whole. The result is both a biblical theology of holiness and a promising model for reinterpreting one text in the light on another.

John (Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament)

By: Jo-Ann A. Brant

In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, Jo-Ann Brant examines cultural context and theological meaning in John. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by • attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs • showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits • commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book • focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text • making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format This commentary, like each in the projected eighteen-volume series, proceeds by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse.

Forgotten Women of the Wars of the Roses

The Untold History Behind the Battle for the Crown

By: Jo Romero

First of its kind, this book showcases relationships between women, as well as their individual efforts and roles during the Wars of the Roses. The Wars of the Roses were fought in England from the mid-fifteenth century, as the supporters of Lancaster and York wrestled over control of the crown. Books have analyzed the politics, battles and motives of its key characters. However, a discussion of women’s roles relating to the conflict is so far missing. Forgotten Women of the Wars of the Roses highlights their involvement, their lives during wartime and the consequences of their actions. Many women lost male relatives to battle, execution and rebellion, suffering emotional and legal consequences as rivals seized lands and livelihood. Despite the uneasy political atmosphere and challenges in marriage and parenting, women maintained the household and supported the family commercially and politically. Forgotten royal women acted as diplomats, negotiators and supporters to both York and Lancaster. Religious women were involved in the conflict and their individual experiences are examined. There is a discussion of women who fought to overcome potentially dangerous circumstances to secure safety and statusand those who directly supported of the war effort. There were organisers writing lists, planning defenses and strategy and quietly supplying husbands with horses, silver and men. Defenders commanded soldiers during a siege, usually at their homes, and took active roles in family feuds. The existence of women rebels at this time is also discussed, as is women’s wider, more subtle contributions and experiences to the security of the monarchy. The book demands acknowledgement of women’s varied roles during the conflict at all levels of society. It draws on primary sources, aspects of their families, their daily lives, homes and fashions, thus presenting them as three dimensional people against the backdrop of the wars.

Parental Responsibility, Young Children and Healthcare Law

Parental Responsibility, Young Children and Healthcare Law

By: Jo Bridgeman

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the legal regulation of the provision of healthcare to young children in England and Wales. A critical analysis is given on the law governing the provision of healthcare to young and dependent children identifying an understanding of the child as vulnerable and in need of protection, including from his or her own parents. The argument is made for a conceptual framework of relational responsibilities which would ensure that consideration is given to the needs of the child as an individual, to the experiences of parents gained as they care for their child and that the wider context, such as attitudes towards disability, public health issues or the support and resources available, is examined. This book makes an important contribution to understanding the law regulating the provision of healthcare to young and dependent children and to the development of a discourse of responsibility.

Macbeth

William Shakespeare's Macbeth Retold: A Novel

By: Jo Nesbo

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 Shakespeare’s dark and tragic play retold in a heart-pounding New York Times bestselling thriller from the author of The Snowman and The Thirst. Set in the 1970s in a run-down, rainy industrial town, Jo Nesbo's Macbeth centers around a police force struggling to shed an incessant drug problem. Duncan, chief of police, is idealistic and visionary, a dream to the townspeople but a nightmare for criminals. The drug trade is ruled by two drug lords, one of whom—a master of manipulation named Hecate—has connections with the highest in power, and plans to use them to get his way. Hecate’s plot hinges on steadily, insidiously manipulating Inspector Macbeth: the head of SWAT and a man already susceptible to violent and paranoid tendencies. What follows is an unputdownable story of love and guilt, political ambition, and greed for more, exploring the darkest corners of human nature, and the aspirations of the criminal mind.

Reclaiming Dreams to Healing, Health, and Happiness

By: Dr. Jo Hanna Mechergui

Reclaiming our dreams is an inspirational insight that I gain through meditation. In meditation, I am able to connect with my spiritual inner being, which brings clarification to my present being. Meditation allowed me to listen to life, travel through time, learn from the past, and collect knowledge along the way. It provided me with a better future and allowed me to live my dreams and live my best life possible. Meditation has allowed me to listen to the inner voice of God. It lets me know the difference between my opinion and the spiritual knowledge that I gain through meditation, to know that the illusions of the world are just that. It is no good without the proper alignment with God. No event or situation is without his knowledge, and his place in that alignment is more precious than any other thing or process in our current existence.
