Boundaries

A Guide for Teens

By: Val J. Peter,Tom Dowd

This book invites teens to examine their lives and relationships within a religious context. It begins by helping you define what physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual boundaries are. Stories of other teens illustrate how personal space and feelings can be either respected or violated in relationships with others. The book's journal format encourages you to reflect on and record feelings about your own relationships. Do people respect your boundaries? Has anyone ever made you feel uncomfortable in some way? Have you ever felt manipulated, intimidated, or mistreated by someone you regarded as a friend? How can you get a friendship that has gone wrong back on track? Use Boundaries: A Guide for Teens to help assess your relationships with family, friends, classmates, and God. Learn how to build close and satisfying friendships while guarding against being used or abused by others. Learn what it takes for you to be a good friend in return.

Sydney's Aboriginal Past

Investigating the Archaeological and Historical Records

By: Val Attenbrow

Revealing the diversity of Aboriginal life in the Sydney region, this study examines a variety of source documents that discuss not only Aboriginal life before colonization in 1788 but also the early years of first contact. This is the only work to explore the minutiae of Sydney Aboriginal daily life, detailing the food they ate; the tools, weapons, and equipment they used; and the beliefs, ceremonial life, and rituals they practiced. This updated edition has been revised to include recent discoveries and the analyses of the past seven years, adding yet more value to this 2004 winner of the John Mulvaney award for best archaeology book from the Australian Archaeological Association. The inclusion of a special supplement that details the important sites in the Sydney region and how to access them makes the book especially appealing to those interested in visiting the sites.

Gifts for a Joyous Christmas

From the Kids at Boys Town

By: Val J. Peter

Christmas "is a time for family," says Girls and Boys Town Executive Director Val J. Peter. No one appreciates this more than the children of Girls and Boys Town, whose own Christmas memories may be more pain-filled than joyous.In these pages, they share what they've learned of the true spirit of Christmas - that family warmth and togetherness are far more precious than piles of costly presents. They tell us what they'd like most for Christmas dinner, how Santa met Mrs. Claus, and what gifts they would give that cost no money. Also inside, Peter advises families on how to make Christmas a season, not just a day.Use this book of holiday reflections to inspire your family to celebrate a more joyful, spiritual, and healing Christmas than ever before!

Reflections for a Happy New Year

From the Kids at Boys Town

By: Val J. Peter

The New Year is an important opportunity for each of us to learn from the past and resolve to do better in the future. According to Girls and Boys Town Executive Director Val J. Peter, each New Year presents us with "a new leaf in the Book of Life, a new chance for hope." In this book, Girls and Boys Town youth consider the lessons of the past year, ponder why New Year's resolutions are important, and share with you their goals for the coming year. In addition, Peter describes how your family can profit from reviewing together the past year and explains why January is the month of hope. As you and your family prepare for the New Year, this book can be the inspiration you need to honestly assess the past and decide what changes you need to make for your family.
