Understanding how creative interventions can help develop social connectivity and resilience for older people is vital in developing a holistic cross-sector approach towards ageing well. Academics with a wide range of expertise critically reflect on how the built environment, community living, cultural participation, lifelong learning, and artist-led interventions encourage older people to thrive and overcome both challenging life events and the everyday changes associated with ageing. The book uses a range of approaches, including participatory research methods, to bring the voices of older people themselves to the foreground. It looks at how taking part in creative interventions develops different types of social relationships and fosters resilience.

Intimate partner violence is a complex, ugly, fear-inducing reality for large numbers of women around the world. When violence exists in a relationship, safety is compromised, shame abounds, and peace evaporates. Violence is learned behavior and it flourishes most when it is ignored, minimized, or misunderstood. When it strikes the homes of deeply religious women, they are: more vulnerable; more likely to believe that their abusive partners can, and will, change; less likely to leave a violent home, temporarily or forever; often reluctant to seek outside sources of assistance; and frequently disappointed by the response of the religious leader to their call for help. These women often believe they are called by God to endure the suffering, to forgive (and to keep on forgiving) their abuser, and to fulfill their marital vows until death do us part. Concurrently, many batterers employ explicitly religious language to justify the violence towards their partners, and sometime they manipulate spiritual leaders who try to offer them help. Religion and Intimate Partner Violence seeks to navigate the relatively unchartered waters of intimate partner violence in families of deep faith. The program of research on which it is based spans over twenty-five years, and includes a wide variety of specific studies involving religious leaders, congregations, battered women, men in batterer intervention programs, and the army of workers who assist families impacted by abuse, including criminal justice workers, therapeutic staff, advocacy workers, and religious leaders. The authors provide a rich and colorful portrayal of the intersection of intimate partner violence and religious beliefs and practices that inform and interweave throughout daily life. Such a focus on lived religion enables readers to isolate, examine, and evaluate ways in which religion both augments and thwarts the journey towards justice, accountability, healing and wholeness for women and men caught in the web of intimate partner violence.

This anthology reflects the current resurgence of liminality and provides a critical source book ideal for individual reflection, study groups, classes and seminars. Fromthe inner workings of spiritual life to large social transformations, liminality now provides a powerful interpretive tool and effective method for spiritual direction, teaching and leadership.

Statistics show that one in every four marriages is impacted by infidelity. So the odds are pretty good that you or someone you know has experienced the searing pain of marital infidelity. But adultery is not an automatic death sentence for your marriage. You can trust again. You can restore intimacy. You can have a relationship that you will both cherish for a lifetime. Ten years ago, Gary and Mona Shriver experienced the devastation caused by adultery, and in the course of trying to save themselves, they wrote this book. Raw, transparently honest, the Shrivers’ story alone is an inspiration, offering hope and practical strategies for healing. Now this updated and revised edition adds other real-life stories of betrayal and forgiveness, and new information defining adultery, including the destruction of emotional affairs. Some doubt if a marriage can truly heal after the ravages of infidelity. Unfaithful proves you can. It’s not easy . . . but it can be done. Is it worth it? Yes. And you hold the first step—and hope—in your hand.

"Core Healing: A Journey of Hope" is the updated edition of "Core Healing from Sexual Abuse: A Journey of Hope," and offers an opportunity for survivors of sexual abuse to begin a profound transformational journey. Designed for individual or group use, this workbook can help you understand areas impacted by sexual abuse and attain measurable goals for each phase of your unique restorative journey. Since the extensive damage of sexual abuse occurs at the core of a person's being where it can't be seen, "Core Healing" addresses core concerns, such as your sense of competence, identity, security, purpose, and belonging. Applying your work in "Core Healing" can help you resolve root issues fueling "numb emotions," anxiety, depression, insecurity, or fear while illuminating positive biblical solutions. Each of the twelve chapters of this workbook has five sections; each section is designed for you to work on for about 30 minutes each day or whenever you have time. Some chapters have a bonus section to be completed during the weekend to explore possible impact of sexual abuse during each developmental stage, impact that can continue negative repercussions throughout subsequent stages of psychosocial development. This workbook doesn't park on the problems but helps you experience restoration from developmental disruption, depression, anxiety, shame, or fear. "Core Healing: A Journey of Hope" provides continual opportunities for survivors of sexual abuse to heal and transform their lives, teaching you to move out of victim status and into life as a victor--a person who thrives. Whether you're an individual who wants to work on your own to heal from sexual abuse or a professional (mental health counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist), or a pastor, priest, life coach, or lay counselor seeking to help others heal, "Core Healing" shows how to experience profound hope and authentic help. For those who are intimately acquainted with abuse survivors, this book can bring the deeper level of understanding necessary for new healing in relationships."Core Healing from Sexual Abuse: A Journey of Hope" is also available in Spanish, "Sanidad del Nucleo de Abuso Sexual: Un Viaje de Esperanza."
