"Social Work in a Revolutionary Age" and Other Papers

Kenneth L. M. Pray

University of Pennsylvania Press

"The service of social work is directed primarily to freeing and helping individuals to find and fulfill themselves-their own unique selves-within the society of which they are a part." This emphasis on "respect for individual personality, for the significance of the individual as such and in his own right" is the keynote of these writings of the late Dean of the Pennsylvania School of Social Work. Chosen for the most part from the work of the last decade, the writings collected here stress his interest in public welfare and penology, the two fields in which his contributions have been most extensive and consistent. The volume is divided into four parts: I. Earlier Formulations of the Philosophy Underlying Social Work Practice II. Public Welfare Ill. Penology IV. Final Statement of the Philosophy Underlying Social Work Practice This sharing of the wisdom and understanding of a lifetime dedicated to professional service in the field of social work will prove helpful and stimulating to administrators, teachers, and social workers everywhere.

Decisions of Change: The Choice Is Yours: My Journey Back to Father's House

Decisions of Change: The Choice Is Yours: My Journey Back to Father's House

Kenneth L. Meadors

Independently Published

nidottu
Ken Meadors, the son of a pastor, tells his story of growing up in church only to come into the bondage of drugs and alcohol for over 38 years. He experienced tragedy after tragedy, including surviving an automobile accident that took the lives of his grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and niece. This began a downward spiral that saw him struggling with disillusionments, hurts, and disappointments that led to a destructive lifestyle. In this book, Ken deals with the issues of guilt, shame, and self-condemnation which have been brought on by multiple broken relationships, including failed marriages and alienation from his children. It took a series of physical, mental, and emotional setbacks to bring him to the decision to turn his life over to God and to give himself completely to His will. He saw himself as the prodigal son who said, "I will return to my Father's house." In so doing, he discovered the unconditional love of God that he had never experienced before. It was through his revelation of who he was in Christ that brought him a newfound liberty from a life of despair and hopelessness. Ken's amazing story will no doubt be an inspiration to all who are dealing with any struggles in life. A proper view of God, who is full of love and mercy, will bring true freedom and liberty that will lead to a meaningful and productive life.It is Ken's hope that this book will become an important resource for every recovery program that is seeking to help those who are in the captivity of addictions. The miracle that Ken Meadors is can also be yours

This book is a collection of short reflections on mentoring and discipleship in honor of Scott M. Gibson. Gibson says: ""The missing ingredient in the Church today is discipleship."" This book casts a vision for all believers for what mentoring and discipleship can look like in the local church, in Bible colleges and seminaries, and in Christian friendships. We hope that you will be inspired by Scott M. Gibson's example to be selfless and intentional about mentoring and discipling others. Gibson desires to see a multiplying effect of true mentorship and discipleship rippling across congregations in North America and around the globe. He has spent his life prioritizing discipleship because he wants to look more and more like his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and he wants the same for others. Read this book and be moved to serve as a mentor and to make disciples. ""Scott Gibson knows biblical preaching, and he is a teacher of teachers. If anyone desires to understand more about homiletics from a scholar and practitioner mentored by the inimitable Haddon Robinson, Scott Gibson is among the handful of today's leading professors and scholars. I trust this book will help many in their public articulation of God's Word with conviction and courage."" --Barry H. Corey, President of Biola University and author of Love Kindness: Discover the Power of a Forgotten Christian Virtue ""It was my joy as President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to observe first-hand the work of Dr. Scott Gibson as teacher and mentor of homiletical skills for those preparing for ministry of the Word of God in his church worldwide. This volume is a good proof and sample of that work. In each of the chapters the reader will find truth-laden wisdom that speaks to some of the great issues of our day. I heartily commend this wonderful set of chapters to both laypersons who reflect on these same issues and to many who seek the call of our Lord in his vineyard."" --Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary ""It is often that some students admire a professor in the classroom. It is less often that they find a friend and mentor during their seminary days. It is even yet more extraordinary to weigh the impact of Dr. Scott Gibson on the lives of so many for so long. Years after leaving the academy they pay tribute to an adult lifetime of mentorship. Firm, fair, faithful, and gracious has been his abiding influence in the lives of so many. Such as this grants him the promised 'abundant entrance.'"" --Joel C. Gregory, Holder of the George W. Truett Endowed Chair of Preaching and Evangelism, George W. Truett Theological Seminary of Baylor University Matthew D. Kim is Associate Professor of Preaching and Ministry at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and co-editor with Scott M. Gibson of Homiletics and Hermeneutics: Four Views on Preaching Today.

Archaeological Oddities

Archaeological Oddities

Does evidence show that Native Americas residing in Utah a thousand years ago lived among dinosaurs, depicting those creatures in their rock art? Did some of those same ancient Americans also encounter visitors from other planets, painting images of space-suited aliens on canyon walls? Have archaeologists discovered evidence that members of the Lost Tribes of Israel visited ancient America, leaving their mark by engraving the Ten Commandments in Hebrew on rocks in New Mexico? And Ohio? Is there archaeological evidence of ancient Celtic visitors to the New World in the form of messages etched in stone, megalithic monuments, and even the remnants of the villages in which they lived? Are American archaeologists covering up the remains of lost cities deeply ensconced in a secret cave in Arizona and in a subterranean chamber in Missouri? Finally, have archaeologists discovered the far western outpost of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, not in Egypt or even Africa, but in, of all places, California? Those questions and more are answered by archaeologist Ken Feder in Archaeological Oddities: A Field Guide to Forty Claims of Lost Civilizations, Ancient Visitors, and Other Strange Sites in North America that the above listed questions and others addressed in his book represent the equivalent of “fake news” about America’s ancient past. The forty sites he highlights are, in fact, fascinating and fun places to visit. Feder’s guide provides an entertaining summary of those forty sites along with the practical information you’ll need to visit them. This full-color book includes over 100 fascinating photographs.
