Welcome to the story of the capture, growth, and development of a small boy who changes from pig-like tendencies to human ways. It is the study of child development, how it happens, and how it is nurtured. A marvel and frustration to his adopted parents, Pigboy always presents unusual challenges but makes remarkable progress with their love, support, and Christian guidance.
Team leadership is the exercise of one's spiritual gifts under the call of God to serve a certain group of people in achieving the goals God has given them toward the end of glorifying Christ.'How is your church or organization governed? Does it have an authoritarian, top-down administration? Is the ministry vision developed by a few top officials, with little input from staff or volunteers? Today the definition of an effective leader has changed. No longer does the model leader manage like the Lone Ranger - either do it his way or no way. Today the model leader shares responsibility with fellow team leaders and seeks to serve them. In this complete revision of his earlier work, Building Leaders for Church Education, Dr. Gangel carefully lays a biblical foundation for the team leadership model. This leadership is not dogmatic control or personality worship. It has no room for political power plays. Instead, it is Paul gently nurturing young Christians in his epistles. It is Barnabas willingly thrusting others into situations where they develop their own gifts. It is Christ, choosing not one, but twelve men to carry on His ministry. It is servant leadership. With examples, illustrations, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, Dr. Gangel prods and encourages the reader to move beyond the safety net of autocratic leadership into the rewarding, effective practice of leading with and through others.
After twenty-five years of relative peace on the Brook between Squidgy and the Little People, a ferret named Jacko escapes from Gibbins Brook Farm, putting the Little People on high alert! Then, when Stumpy and the Shadow Book suddenly go missing, the Little People know the wizard has found them. Seven of the tiny folk, only half a thumb high, have been hiding from the wicked Wizard of Wozzle ever since he invaded their homeland a thousand years ago. Before they fled Gyminge, the high seer, Dayko, predicted the Little People would one day return and defeat the wizard with the help of a child, but without the Shadow Book, the Little People can't summon the Shadow children who've helped them in the past. As the recent events unfold, the Little People seek Gumpa and gran'ma's help in finding real children willing to take up the cause of Truth and fight the wizard. Will Stormy, Specs, Ginger, and Bajjer even believe in the Little People, let alone help them? Will this band of Little People be able to rescue Stumpy and the Shadow Book before the wizard initiates an all-out attack? Join Gumpa and the Little People in Gibbins Brook Farm, the third installment of The Twith Logue Chronicles. Discover how the evil plans of the wicked Wizard of Wozzle are once again brought to naught.
Psychiatric genetics is an exciting new discipline that explores how our minds and behavior are influenced by our genes. Increased interest in this area of medical genetics has been sparked by advances in molecular genetic techniques, the genome project, the neurosciences, the role of genes in somatic diseases, and the linking of specific genes with complex mental disorders. This Handbook is the definitive resource on this complex, and sometimes controversial, new field.
This groundbreaking volume synthesizes the results of the Virginia Adult Twin Study of Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders, which yielded longitudinal data on more than 9,000 individuals. The authors trace how risk for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, antisocial behavior, alcoholism, and substance abuse emerges from the interplay of a variety of genetic and environmental influences. Major questions addressed include whether risk is disorder-specific, how to distinguish between correlational and causal genetic and evironmental factors, sex differences in risk, and how risk and protective factors interact over time. The book also summarizes the conceptual underpinnings of the study and describes key methodological challenges and innovations.
