Break up with anxiety-for good. Between the shortage of mental health providers and the rising cost of health care, countless individuals are left with no choice but to function with mental health issues on their own. 'Dear Anxiety, Let's Break Up' offers forty devotions written from both a medical and biblical perspective to help readers - understand the Bible's message on mental health, - develop actionable, scientific-based coping skills, - reverse the cycle of negative thinking, - free themselves from shame, guilt, and harmful stigmas, and - learn to support loved ones who also struggle with anxiety. Choose faith over fear and move from a life marked by anxiety to one of peace and abundance.

Crime, Deviance and Society: An Introduction to Sociological Criminology offers a comprehensive introduction to criminological theory. The book introduces readers to key sociological theories, such as anomie and strain, and examines how traditional approaches have influenced the ways in which crime and deviance are constructed. It provides a nuanced account of contemporary theories and debates, and includes chapters covering feminist criminology, critical masculinities, cultural criminology, green criminology, and postcolonial theory, among others. Case studies in each chapter demonstrate how sociological theories can manifest within and influence the criminal justice system and social policy. Each chapter also features margin definitions and timelines of contributions to key theories, reflection questions and end-of-chapter questions that prompt students reflection. Written by an expert team of academics from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Crime, Deviance and Society is a highly engaging and accessible introduction to the field for students of criminology and criminal justice.
