A Christian Divorce
Divorce presents individuals with one of lifes greatest adversities. And Christians are simply not immune. When it occurs, it must be endured . . . and then overcome. The primary message of A Christian Divorce is radically simple: God calls us to live-out our faith in every circumstance, including before, during and after a divorce. To be a Christian to be a follower of Jesus Christ means that God has called us to lives of significance . . . not just on sunny days, but on the days when we find ourselves caught in torrential down pours. And divorce is one of the most common down pours experienced in our country. If God can use the gruesome event of a crucifixion as a catalyst for faith, then the same God can certainly turn any hardship including divorce into an inspirational force to transform lives. Consequently, whether you or a loved one find yourself on the brink, in the midst, or living in the wake of divorce, A Christian Divorce points all who read it to seek Divine Counsel just as aggressively as they seek legal counsel. In a world that is desperately in need of Christians who are fully embracing and modeling the example of Jesus Christ, there is no greater opportunity to live out the Christian faith than through our own familieswhether they are intact, broken, or breaking. A Christian Divorce encourages and challenges those who find themselves mired in divorce to recognize that now, perhaps more than ever, is crucial time to live out their faith.
Handbook of Divorce and Relationship Dissolution
This Handbook presents up-to-date scholarship on the causes and predictors, processes, and consequences of divorce and relationship dissolution. Featuring contributions from multiple disciplines, this Handbook reviews relationship termination, including variations depending on legal status, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The Handbook focuses on the often-neglected processes involved as the relationship unfolds, such as infidelity, hurt, and remarriage. It also covers the legal and policy aspects, the demographics, and the historical aspects of divorce. Intended for researchers, practitioners, counselors, clinicians, and advanced students in psychology, sociology, family studies, communication, and nursing, the book serves as a text in courses on divorce, marriage and the family, and close relationships.
Handbook of Parenting: Being and becoming a parent
Completely revised and expanded from four to five volumes, this new edition of the Handbook of Parenting appears at a time that is momentous in the history of parenting. Parenting and the family are today in a greater state of flux, question, and redefinition than perhaps ever before. We are witnessing the emergence of striking permutations on the theme of parenting: blended families, lesbian and gay parents, and teen versus fifties first-time moms and dads. One cannot but be awed on the biological front by technology that now not only renders postmenopausal women capable of childbearing, but also presents us with the possibility of designing babies. Similarly on the sociological front, single parenthood is a modern day fact of life, adult child dependency is on the rise, and parents are ever less certain of their own roles, even in the face of rising environmental and institutional demands that they take increasing responsibility for their offspring. The Handbook of Parenting concerns itself with: *different types of parents--mothers and fathers, single, adolescent, and adoptive parents; *basic characteristics of parenting--behaviors, knowledge, beliefs, and expectations about parenting; *forces that shape parenting--evolution, genetics, biology, employment, social class, culture, environment, and history; *problems faced by parents--handicap, marital difficulties, drug addiction; and *practical concerns of parenting--how to promote children's health, foster social adjustment and cognitive competence, and interact with school, legal, and public officials. Contributors to the Handbook of Parenting have worked in different ways toward understanding all these diverse aspects of parenting, and all look to the most recent research and thinking in the field to shed light on many topics every parent wonders about. Each chapter addresses a different but central topic in parenting; each is rooted in current thinking and theory, as well as classical and modern research in that topic; each has been written to be read and absorbed in a single sitting. In addition, each chapter follows a standard organization, including an introduction to the chapter as a whole, followed by historical considerations of the topic, a discussion of central issues and theory, a review of classical and modern research, forecasts of future directions of theory and research, and a set of conclusions. Of course, contributors' own convictions and research are considered, but contributions to this new edition present all major points of view and central lines of inquiry and interpret them broadly. The Handbook of Parenting is intended to be both comprehensive and state of the art. As the expanded scope of this second edition amply shows, parenting is naturally and closely allied with many other fields.
