Why doesn’t our child return our love? What are we failing to understand? What are we failing to do? These questions can fill the minds of adoptive parents caring for wounded, traumatized children. Families often enter into this experience with high expectations for their child and for themselves but are broadsided by shattered assumptions. This book addresses the reality of those unmet expectations and offers validation and solutions for the challenges of parenting deeply traumatized and emotionally disturbed children.

Enchanted Calvinism's surprising central proposition is that Ghanaian Presbyterian communities have become more enchanted -- i.e., attuned to spiritual explanations of and remedies for suffering -- as they have become moreintegrated into capitalist modes of production. Enchanted Calvinism's central proposition is that Ghanaian Presbyterian communities, both past and present, have become more enchanted -- more attuned to spiritual explanations of and remedies for suffering -- as they havebecome integrated into capitalist modes of production. The author draws on a Weberian concept of religious enchantment to analyze the phenomena of spiritual affliction and spiritual healing within the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, particularly under the conditions of labor migration: first, in the early twentieth century during the cocoa boom in Ghana and, second, at the turn of the twenty-first century in their migration from Ghana to North America. Relying on extensive archival research, oral interviews, and participant-observation conducted in North America, Europe, and West Africa, this study demonstrates that the more these Ghanaian Calvinists became dependent on capitalist modes of production, the more enchanted their lives and, subsequently, their church became, although in different ways within these two migrations. One striking pattern that has emerged among Ghanaian Presbyterian labor migrants in North America, for example, is a radical shift in gendered healing practices, where women have become prominent healers while a significant number of men have become spirit-possessed.

"Tracing the influence of the nineteenth-century healing movement and employing an inductive method in her examination of early Pentecostal periodical literature, Kimberley Alexander provides the most comprehensive investigation of this subject to date." "Through the voices of those on the margins, the reader is exposed to the thinking of early Pentecostals on such issues as the origins of illness, healing provided in the atonement, signs following believers, means of healing, and the roles of faith and the Holy Spirit. Drawing on this analysis, the author constructs two distinct models of healing theology." "The concluding theological reflection makes clear the implications for Pentecostal soteriology, pneumatology and ecclesiology. Early Pentecostalism can no longer be viewed in a monolithic fashion, and earlier studies which have tended to do so will require revision in appreciation of the two distinct streams within the movement described here."--BOOK JACKET.
