About this book
Today's teens are bombarded with choices about attitudes, behaviors, friends, clothes, finances, and college. And with the rise of alcohol, drugs, sexual issues, and crime, they must make serious decisions daily. Bible teacher Elizabeth George takes teens through the step–by–step process of making decisions that are life–affirming, godly, and wise in areas that include: managing emotions, improving relationships, developing confidence, living in the center of God's will, avoiding trouble and bad situations. Teens will discover checkpoints to use as guides for making decisions, and they will learn to take the long view when considering consequences. Young women will also realize the tremendous wisdom, guidance, and answers available in God's Word. Great for individuals, small groups, and mentoring. - Publisher.

The wisdom to know the difference
Eileen Flanagan
This wise book guides readers in discovering what they can-and should-change in their lives, accepting what they cannot, and discovering “the wisdom to know the difference.”Thousands of people have been moved by the famous last lines of the Serenity Prayer:God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.But how exactly can we know the difference? How can we acknowledge our true limits without negating the possibility for dramatic change? In this inspiring book, Eileen Flanagan draws on her own Quaker faith as well as a range of other religious and spiritual traditions to show readers how they can learn to listen to their own inner voice in determining when a change is needed in their lives or when instead acceptance is the answer. These lessons come to life through the inspiring stories of various individuals, including:the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who talks about the power of forgiveness and her work to end the war;the former director of Oprah's school for girls in South Africa who explains how sometimes the best teaching involves giving your students the freedom to learn for themselves;a family therapist who shares what he learned about accepting the things he cannot change from the car accident that left him paralyzed.This illuminating book leads readers to discover the serenity that comes when one has gained “the wisdom to know the difference.”
Freud, l'antisémitisme et la langue-mère
Sabine Raillard
La langue des Hébreux, le pouvoir évocateur des images araméennes, intraduisibles dans la langue-culture grecque, auraient gardé pour l'Occident judéo-chrétien, la force surdéterminante de la langue-mère de l'origine. Pourquoi le discours Race et Culture, prononcé par Claude Lévi-Strauss à l'Unesco en 1971, fit-il un tel scandale ? regard rapproché visant à investiguer la place de la phylogenèses dans la langue maternelle au regard de la langue étrangère
How to help people change
Jay E. Adams
Change is the essential goal of the counseling process. And Christian counselors recognize, as the author is so concerned to remind us, "Substantial change requires the alteration of the heart." How does a Christian counselor work in order to bring about this kind of change? The answer is found, of course, in Scripture -- in 2 Timothy 3:14-17, to be specific. This book answers not only the question "How does a counselor help people change?" but also "How does scripture operate as the source of a counselor's method?" It is a book that has much to say about the ongoing discussion of the relationship between theology and psychology in the enterprise of Christian counseling. - Back cover.
