Sinossi

In "The Philippines - Past and Present," Dean C. Worcester presents a comprehensive examination of the archipelago's historical and sociopolitical evolution from pre-colonial times to the early 20th century. Worcester employs a descriptive and observational literary style, meticulously detailing the customs, cultures, and landscapes of the Philippine islands. His work, emerging against the backdrop of American colonialism, serves not only as a historical account but also as a lens into the complexities of identity, colonialism, and cultural exchange in a rapidly changing world. Dean C. Worcester, an American zoologist and a prominent figure in the United States' colonial administration of the Philippines, brings a unique perspective to this work. His first-hand experiences as an administrator and naturalist provide a rich context for understanding the intersections of governance, science, and cultural anthropology. His commitment to documenting the lives of the Filipino people reflects a blend of admiration and critical analysis of imperialist endeavors, helping readers to grapple with the implications of colonial rule. This book is a vital resource for anyone interested in Philippine history, colonial studies, and cultural anthropology. Worcester's insightful observations and detailed narrations make it an essential entry point for scholars, students, and general readers alike who seek to understand the intricate tapestry of Filipino history and identity.

Mastering Our Emotions -...

Kevin Chapman

Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find

- exercises
- worksheets
- Scripture readings, and
- reflection prompts
to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.
