Synopsis

We are prisoners without shackles in prisons without walls. Though the doors are open, some remain captive without the desire to leave, while others yearn for freedom but lack the strength to break free. Caught between contentment and rebellion, they weigh the consequences and remain indecisive.

This book delves into the everyday experiences of those who are haunted by the fear of social evaluation in Arab societies. These individuals are afraid of the scrutinizing gaze of others as they eat, dress, speak, or laugh. Their behavior is suppressed, and they are constrained by societal norms that cannot be broken, further perpetuating power dynamics and oppression among people.

Do human interactions in daily life merely stop at this point? Or do they occupy themselves with more elusive images to break this suffering and alleviate its severity?

    Hygiene in World History

    This book features a global, historical analysis of the changes and continuities in one of society's basic functions: seeking to protect itself from disease. 
     
    Hygiene offers an important lens for major aspects of world and comparative history. The volume explores the ways different regions and major religions approached hygiene both before modern times and through the present with the more recent uses of germ theory. Topics in "premodern" hygiene include toilet practices, remarkably varied views about bathing, and different levels of commitment to investments in hygiene infrastructure. The "sanitary revolution" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries forms a major dividing line in the book, including the variations introduced by developments like colonialism or communism and various forms of resistance to "modern" hygiene. The book links current, often bitter, debates about hygiene, around practices such as masking, both to the larger history and to recent issues like COVID-19. 
     
    Hygiene in World History is an accessible overview aimed at undergraduate and non-specialist listeners interested in world history, public health, and the history of health and disease.

    Every child is born with a spark—a unique gift waiting to shine. As parents, we often marvel at the small things our children do. A scribble that tells a story, a question that shows deep curiosity, a dance that seems to come from the heart—these moments are more than just childhood innocence. They are glimpses of the gem within. 
    But how often do we pause to truly observe? In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to miss the subtle signals that hint at a child’s hidden talents. What if, with a little patience and a lot of love, we could unearth those treasures and help our children thrive in ways we never imagined? 
    This book is not about turning children into prodigies or pressuring them to succeed. It’s about discovery—finding the joy in helping your child explore their passions, strengths, and unique potential. It’s about listening to the unspoken language of their play, their choices, and their dreams. 
    "Finding the Gem" is your guide to this journey. Through practical techniques, inspiring stories, and thoughtful insights, you’ll learn how to observe, nurture, and support your child in ways that let their natural abilities shine. This is not a roadmap to perfection; it’s an invitation to partner with your child on their journey of growth and self-discovery. 
    Every gem is unique, and so is every child. Let’s begin the adventure of finding and polishing the gem within your child, so they can sparkle in a way that is truly their own.

    Crises around race have put the church in a defensive posture, always reacting to racial conflicts in society. But Jesus wants more. He wants Christians to play offense by discipling people into a new humanity, where we push beyond mere diversity and into a biblical vision for ethnic unity. 
     
     
     
    Bryan Loritts calls Christians to proactively and intentionally live out the embodied reality of a people at one with one another. We play offense by practicing a robust gospel, preparing reliable leadership, and providing relational environments so that the church becomes the aroma of Christ to our culture and gains ground against the demonic foothold of racism in all its forms.

    Originally developed for treating self-injury among women with borderline personality disorder, research shows that acceptance-based emotion regulationtherapy is effective in treating emotion dysregulation and related psychiatric symptoms and self-destructive behaviors in a wide range of clients. 
     
     
     
    Acceptance-Based Emotion Regulation Therapy offers an empirically supported protocol that addresses all key dimensions of emotion regulation using evidence-based strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT), as well as basic behavioral principles—resulting in a treatment that is more targeted and far briefer than comprehensive DBT. 
     
     
     
    With this comprehensive protocol, you'll be fully equipped to treat psychiatric symptoms stemming from emotion dysregulation, self-destructive behaviors serving an emotion-regulating function, and emotion dysregulation more broadly. 
     
     
     
    If you've been searching for an emotion regulation therapy that efficiently and effectively targets all the core dimensions of emotion dysregulation driving your clients' symptoms and clinical difficulties, this guide has everything you need.
