Fifty Shades of Grace

A true story of overcoming life's challenges with God's gift of grace

By: Marianne Merz

Grace is the undeserved favor and love of God. And because his grace is unmerited, there is nothing we can do to obtain it. And God puts no limits on the number of times we can go to him and ask for what we may need, such as his wisdom or his strength or guidance, etc. Grace is God's choosing to bless us even when we don't deserve it.God's grace is available to us at all times for every problem and need we face. God's grace has enabled me to remain strong no matter how difficult my circumstances, and he will do the same for you.

'While the Bridegroom is with Them'

Marriage, Family, Gender and Violence in the Gospel of Matthew

By: Marianne Blickenstaff

Interpreters of Matthew's Parable of the Wedding Feast (22.1-14) typically associate the 'king' with God and then justify his violent attacks against city and guests; interpreters of the Parable of the Ten Virgins (25.1-13) typically associate the 'bridegroom' with Jesus and then justify his extreme rejection of the 'foolish virgins.' Questioning such allegorical interpretations, this study first details how Hebrew, Greek, and Roman texts depict - without requiring allegorical understandings - numerous bridegrooms associated not only with joy but also with violence and death. Second, this project appeals to the disruptive nature of parables, the feminist technique of resisting reading, and the Matthean Jesus's own ethical instructions to argue that in the parables, those who resist violent rulers and uncaring bridegrooms are the ones worthy of the Kingdom. The study then shows how the Matthean Jesus - the brideless, celibate bridegroom -- creates a fictive family by disrupting biological and marital ties, redefining masculinity, and undermining the desirability of marriage and procreation.

Shock Waves

Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty

By: Stephane Hallegatte,Mook Bangalore,Laura Bonzanigo,Marianne Fay,Tamaro Kane,Ulf Narloch,Julie Rozenberg,David Treguer,Adrien Vogt-Schilb

Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Adolf Keller

Ecumenist, World Citizen, Philanthropist

By: Marianne Jehle-Wildberger

The Swiss theologian Adolf Keller was the leading ecumenist on the European continent between the two world wars. In this book the historian Marianne Jehle-Wildberger delineates his life and its achievements. Based on research in forty archives in Europe and the United States, a picture emerges that shows a wonderful man who was a personal friend oft Karl Barth, C. G. Jung, Thomas Mann, and Albert Schweitzer--and thus who was influenced by the spiritual tendencies of the twentieth century. Keller cooperated closely with the National Council of Churches. His Central Bureau of Relief in Geneva (Inter-Church Aid) was supported by American churches. His lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary on "Religion and Revolution" (1933)--in which he was one of the first commentators to denounce National Socialism in Germany--set a new standard of political discussion and are unsurpassed. Marianne Jehle-Wildbergers' book is an important contribution to twentieth-century church history and to the history of the twentieth century in general.

A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests

Fundamentals of Neuropsychological Assessment and Test Reviews for Clinical Practice

By: Elisabeth Sherman,Jing Tan,Marianne Hrabok

A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests, Fourth Edition is one of the most well-established reference texts in neuropsychology. This newly-revised, updated, and expanded fourth edition provides a comprehensive overview of essential aspects of neuropsychological practice along with 100 test reviews of well-known neuropsychological tests for adults. The aim of the Compendium is to provide a comprehensive yet practical overview of the state of the field while also summarizing the evidence on the theoretical background, norms, reliability, and validity of commonly-used neuropsychological tests. Based on extensive review of the clinical and research literature in neuropsychology, neurology, and related disciplines, its comprehensive critical reviews of common neuropsychological tests and standardized scales include tests for premorbid estimation, dementia screening, IQ, attention, executive functioning, memory, language, visuospatial skills, sensory function, motor skills, performance validity, and symptom validity. Tables within each test review summarize important features of each test, highlight aspects of each normative dataset, and provide an overview of psychometric properties. This essential reference text also covers basic and advanced aspects of neuropsychological assessment with chapters on psychometric concepts and principles, reliability in neuropsychology, theoretical models of test validity, and an overview of critical concepts pertaining to performance and symptom validity testing and malingering. Of interest to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists as well as trainees in these areas, this volume will aid practitioners in gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental assessment concepts in neuropsychology while also serving as an essential guidebook for selecting the right test for specific clinical situations and for helping clinicians make empirically-supported test interpretations.

MAMARAZZA. Edition en anglais

By: Marianne Sayn-Wittgenstein

Whenever the Princess shows up with her cameras, doors open, and she is greeted with respect and affection: "Mamarazza" -- as she is widely known -- is a welcome visitor at festivities and events of her friends and acquaintances in the world of art, economy and diplomacy. It's been fifty years now since the Princess set out to systematically capture her personal environment by taking photographs -- at weddings, anniversaries, art openings, the Salzburg Festival, concerts and motor races. Ever since there has been hardly a society event that did not become a topic for her camera. Whether partying with Spanish Crown Prince Juan Carlos or actor Sean Connery, or being aboard an official flight with former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, everybody shows respect for her, and everybody knows that she would never cross the bounds of confidentiality. The Princess's thousands and thousands of photographs, some of which were published in major fashion and lifestyle magazines, have been collected, dated and kept with the utmost care. In this way an exciting, unparalleled chronicle of the beautiful and the rich, the high society of five decades has been collected, which now has been published in a beautiful, impressive large-format book edition.
