Exploring Hope in Spiritual Care

A Practical Theological Guide for Chaplains

By: Laura Shay

Hope is a central topic in spiritual care. This short book explores what hope can mean for patients who are at the end of life, beyond hoping that a treatment will be effective. It suggests ways in which creative spiritual care can enable patients and those who care for them to develop different kinds of hope and move past despair. The author identifies four dimensions of hope and suggests ways in they can be nurtured and cultivated through theological reflection, connectivity, meditation and the arts. These dimensions of hope provide a framework for thorough spiritual assessment and for the development of a plan of care. In turn, being prepared for death removes feelings of hopelessness and despair. This book will inspire new ways to feed the human spirit when a cure is no longer an option.

Crave

By: Laura J. Burns,Melinda Metz

Shay has had a rare blood disorder since she was born. In fact, her mother married one of Shay's doctors, Martin, who left his world-renowned leukemia research to try and figure out exactly what the disorder is and how to cure it. When she turns seventeen, Martin begins to give her new blood transfusions that make her feel the strongest she has ever felt. But she also has odd visions where she sees through the eyes of a vampire. At first, she thinks she must be imagining the visions, but when she begins to see Martin's office in them, she knows she has to check it out. That's when she finds Gabriel, a sexy, teenaged vampire, imprisoned in Martin's office. The connection she has built with Gabriel compels her to set him free. But when he kidnaps her in an attempt at revenge on Martin, their lives become deeply intertwined. She doesn't know the half of it.

By: Laura-Shay Adams,Mariam Ahmad,Jahmal Brown Brown,Misha Bushyager,Alexandria Bustion,Duan Byrd,John Compton,Sarah Davis,Naomi Fritts,Sasha Laranoa Harvin,Gabriel Hicks,Tk Johnson

South of a forbidding range of mountain peaks lies a land of boundless resources and untold opportunity. The Mwangi Expanse has been home to an untold diversity of cultures and peoples since time immemorial, hosting powerful, isolated city states that have often paid little attention to their neighbors. Yet the turning tides of fortune have begun to usher in changes that are rippling across the world. As a band of scholars from an ancient university venture north to aid a disaster-torn Avistan. A revolution-forged nation seeks powerful allies against foreign aggression. An undead god, once a symbol of hope to his declining nation, now grows jealous enough to turn on his self-proclaimed kin. Whether you are a diplomat seeking leverage from the most difficult of positions, a spy seeking the subtlest hint of danger from your surroundings, a guardian hoping to protect your home and people, or a warrior striking back at tyrants both native and foreign, this guide to the Mwangi Expanse offers you the ultimate resource to explore a realm of magic, monsters, and intrigue!

Ride Me Hard

By: Laura Black

Entre l'avocate et le hors-la-loi, la tentation est interdite. Jarod est la sentinelle des Styx Lions, le gang le plus dangereux de San Francisco : joueur et rebelle, il séduit les femmes sans se soucier de nouer de véritables relations. Mais quand on lui confie une nouvelle mission à haut risque, ses certitudes vacillent : il doit faire s’évader de prison son ex, Nell, une brillante avocate éperdue de justice qui a su se faire des ennemis. Elle l’a quitté sans un regard sept ans auparavant ; il la déteste autant qu’il a envie d’elle. Il compte donc remplir sa mission le plus rapidement possible et tourner les talons. Mais sa stratégie tourne court quand il se retrouve en fuite avec Nell. Comment réussir à se la sortir de l’esprit dans ces conditions ? Ou peut-être est-ce justement l'occasion pour lui de se venger et de la rendre folle de désir… *** – Nell, rien ne nous empêche de nous amuser, la provoqué-je en frôlant la courbe de son cou. – Jamais ! gronde-t-elle. Je me redresse en explosant de rire. Voilà le genre de défi que je suis capable de relever et, surtout, c’est un challenge qui me replace dans mon rôle de prédateur. C’est exactement ce dont j’ai besoin pour recouvrer le contrôle sur ma libido, alors… pourquoi pas ? – On parie ? dis-je, sarcastique. Nell écarquille les yeux, entre stupéfaction et suspicion, et sa poitrine se soulève, comme si elle cherchait sa respiration. – Ça n’arrivera pas. – Pourtant… tu es tentée, affirmé-je, tout en passant derrière elle pour détacher ses liens. Nell se lève dans un sursaut, le corps bandé de colère et d’une tension que je connais parfaitement. Mon sourire s’accentue, parce que quitte à être la proie d’un désir incontrôlable, j’aime autant qu’on soit à égalité dans ce registre. – Va te faire foutre ! m’injurie-t-elle avant de filer vers les escaliers. – Je préfère mener la danse, bébé, riposté-je. Alors c’est quand tu veux ! Ride Me Hard, de Laura Black, histoire intégrale.

Elite Squad

By: Laura Sand

« J’ai un léger problème avec la gent masculine. Assez gros en fait. Énorme même. J’aime pas les mecs. Ils sont perfides et mesquins. Calculateurs et machos. Ils sont tous pareils. Je sais que c’est faux mais j’ai réussi à convaincre mon cerveau qu’aucun bipède avec un truc entre les jambes ne mérite qu’on l’aime. La seule chose à laquelle ils doivent s’attendre est notre mépris, voire notre indifférence. Point. » Lena déteste les hommes de façon épidermique ! Alors quand elle doit cohabiter avec cinq militaires hyper musclés et bourrés de testostérone, elle envisage sérieusement de déménager. Le pire de tous ? Ethan, qui l’insulte dès leur première rencontre. Mais derrière les muscles d’Ethan et l’apparente sensibilité de Lena se cachent de sombres démons qui pourraient bien les rassembler. Et quand le plus dangereux d’entre eux refait surface, Ethan est le seul à pouvoir le combattre et sauver Lena. Mais le voudra-t-il seulement ? Elite Squad de Laura Sand, histoire intégrale

Fan club

By: Laura Zoe Pace

Può l’amore per un’artista spingersi a tal punto da organizzare il suo rapimento? Un giorno Laura, cantautrice italo americana di fama internazionale, si sveglia e scopre di essere stata rapita da un gruppo di fan. A capo della gang c’è Emma, la fondatrice del suo più grande fan club. I giorni di prigionia saranno l’occasione per entrambe di conoscersi e di ripercorrere alcuni episodi della propria vita. Tuttavia, a Laura qualcosa non quadra: la situazione ha degli aspetti poco chiari che non la convincono del tutto e non smette mai di desiderare la sua libertà. Ma quando riuscirà finalmente a ottenerla, troverà la sua vita sconvolta da un profondo e inesorabile cambiamento. Tornano Laura e Paola, e altri personaggi legati alle vite delle protagoniste. Un’incursione nel mondo saffico (e dintorni) e in quello un po’ pazzo dei fan. Ma è soprattutto un viaggio alla scoperta della nostra straordinaria capacità di amare oltre le convenzioni; di superare i nostri condizionamenti e andare oltre noi stessi. Nonché di accettare ciò che la vita ci mette davanti anche quando non corrisponde esattamente ai nostri sogni.

Until the end

By: Laura S. Wild

Et si l'amour pouvait les libérer ? Un soir d'octobre, alors que Mila rentre chez elle, sa vie bascule. Quelqu'un l'attend en bas de son immeuble. Une main se plaque sur sa bouche, et un 4X4 l'emporte... Mila vient d'être enlevée. Lorsqu'elle revient à elle, la jeune femme s'aperçoit qu'elle est séquestrée et coupée de tout, sans comprendre pourquoi elle a été prise pour cible. Qui est son ravisseur ? Que lui veut-il ? Retenue dans un endroit isolé, elle va devoir apprendre à vivre avec Carter, l'homme chargé de la surveiller, qui la trouble autant qu'il la terrifie. Pour Carter, Mila n'est qu'un contrat de plus à honorer. Sa mission est simple : l'enlever, la maintenir prisonnière puis la relâcher une fois la rançon payée. Mais il commet une erreur qui va tout bouleverser : quelque chose chez sa captive lui fait baisser la garde. Et il laisse malgré lui un lien se créer entre eux... Tandis que leur cohabitation forcée se prolonge, Carter et Mila en découvrent chaque jour davantage l'un sur l'autre et la jeune femme réalise que malgré les apparences, son ravisseur porte un lourd fardeau et qu'il est peut-être prisonnier autant qu'elle. Et si l'amour pouvait les libérer ?

By: Laura Blodgett

Taiwan. Lulu had never felt so lost. Hoping it would be the hardest part of the day, the easily disoriented grandma struggled to make sense of the crowded Taipei train station. But after bravely navigating strange streets and chewing squid at the street market, her adventure came to a sudden halt when she crashed her bike. Shocked to realize her mouth wasn't working right, Lulu wondered how to communicate with a doctor who only spoke Mandarin Chinese. And though friends tried to help her, everyone seemed to be using a different language! Could Lulu escape the chaos and figure out a way to get herself put back together?
