A master of the story form (The New York Times) offers a fresh, revealing portrait of the legendary saint Celebrated novelist Mary Gordon brings Joan of Arc alive as a complex figure full of contradictions and desires, as well as spiritual devotion. A humble peasant girl, Joan transformed herself into the legendary Maid of Orl ans, knight, martyr, and saint. Following the voice of God, she led an army to victory and crowned the king of France, only to be captured and burned at the stake as a heretic--all by the age of nineteen. Gordon does more than tell this gripping story--she explores Joan's mystery and the many facets of her inspiring life.

Mihin suuntaan minun tulee mennä? Kirja opastaa sinut herkistymään sisäiselle johdatuksellesi ja löytämään oman todellisen luontosi, jonka tunteminen on meidän jokaisen synnyinoikeus. Oma sielun kompassisi on se väline, jonka avulla voit suunnistaa erehtymättömästi kohti tosipohjoista - magneettista Jumalallista viisautta tai Äärimmäistä todellisuutta.

Change is both scary business and an inescapable fact of life - after all, everything is impermanent and eventually passes away. Some changes are natural, like aging through the life cycle, while others are sudden and catastrophic, such as illness, bankruptcy, or the death of a loved one. But just as the earthbound caterpillar liquefies in its cocoon during its mysterious transformation into a butterfly, change is an opportunity to shed the limitations of the lower self and be reborn to the higher self. This book is an inspiring and practical guide to that process, incorporating personal stories, cutting-edge psychological research, and the perennial philosophy of the world's great wisdom traditions. The short, accessible chapters provide you with a practical framework for approaching change as an invitation to empowerment and awakening. Practices focused on moment-by-moment awareness, living in the present, and connecting with a greater flow will help you gracefully navigate transitions more skillfully. The art of living with uncertainty, when the old has passed away and the new hasn't yet been born, is an essential skill central both to the book and the audio download. The audio download is a body-based mindfulness meditation that guides you in developing moment-by-moment awareness, and honoring emotions and other experiences without attachment as they arise and pass away. It is suitable for daily use both by beginners and experienced meditators.
Preventing Violence in Schools

School violence is a burning issue these days. This book provides an in-depth analysis of violence prevention programs and an assessment of their effectiveness, using data from observations, individual interviews, and focus groups, as well as published data from the schools. It is distinguished by its focus on the cultural and structural context of school violence and violence prevention efforts. Where most other researchers use quantitative measures, such as surveys, to assess the effectiveness of violence prevention programs, the authors of this book use qualitative research and ethnography to study the environment where such programs take place. Thus, this work--one of only a few ethnographic studies of violence prevention programs in schools--links previous quantitative research on the topic and critical ethnography. Preventing Violence in Schools: A Challenge to American Democracy: *includes voices of school students, accused of practicing violence, who have been participants in violence prevention programs; *analyzes a citywide peer mediation program (who benefits and who does not, who is mediated and who mediates, and what the implications of these findings may be); *examines the kinds of violence recognized in schools and the ways schools themselves may perpetuate violence; and *describes a violence prevention program for students at an alternative school.Preventing Violence in Schools: A Challenge to American Democracy is highly relevant for students in courses on urban education, foundations of education, education and social policy, youth and the law, and qualitative research, and for teachers, administrators, and other professionals, such as school psychologists and guidance counselors, at the middle and high school levels.

Balance isn't an issue of time, but an issue of choice. It's about living your values by aligning your behavior with what you believe is really important. Aligning your behavior with your values is much like any other developmental experience; the basic process involves assessment, challenge, and support. This guidebook will help you determine where you are, define where you want to go, and then put into place the tools you need to get there.
A narrative sequence of lyric poems reimagining Joan of Arc as a framework for queer identity, transformation, and poetic voice. Collapsing biography and autobiography, the poetry of Jake Rose’s debut explores queer identity, grief, and desire through the historical framework of Joan of Arc’s life. Moving through rural landscapes of the speaker’s youth, contradictions of faith, consequences of desire, and fragmentations of trauma, JOAN is structured as an excavation of the speaker’s most intimate moments, combining poetry with historical quotations, visual collage, and a sequence of film stills. Through vivid lyric moments, the poems construct a speaker and world both intimate and charged—“I have to touch my farthest feeling,” “the sapphire dusk draping its lace arias”—with clarity and vibrant intensity. Refusing resolution, these poems dwell in rupture, reinvention, and fluid forms of gender that come to life outside of inherited boundaries. This collection speaks from the margins, searching for a body the self might inhabit and asking what it means to transform through language, gender, and desire. JOAN is the winner of the Phoenix Emerging Poet Book Prize.
