Synopsis

In "Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch," George T. Flom meticulously explores the linguistic and cultural interactions that shaped the Scots language, particularly in the Southern Lowland regions of Scotland. Flom employs a comparative linguistic analysis, integrating historical texts alongside contemporary examples to trace the Norse influences that permeated Scots due to Viking settlement. His scholarly approach delves into phonology, vocabulary, and syntax, contextualizing this linguistic evolution within the broader tapestry of Scottish and Scandinavian histories, thereby illuminating the intricate interplay of language and identity in these culturally rich landscapes. George T. Flom, a well-respected philologist and linguist, has dedicated much of his career to the study of Germanic languages. His keen interest in the intersections between language, history, and culture, paired with his in-depth knowledge of Old Norse and Scots, provides him with a unique lens through which to analyze these influences. Flom's previous works have earned him recognition as a pioneering figure in the field, inspiring him to conduct this comprehensive investigation into the Scandinavian roots of Southern Lowland Scotch. This book is essential for linguists, historians, and anyone intrigued by cultural heritage, offering profound insights into the dynamic relationships between language and society. Flom'Äôs rigorous research and clear prose make it accessible to both scholars and general readers alike, inviting them to appreciate the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped the Scots language.

    The Choice to Leave Abuse

    God strongly condemns any form of abuse. 
    In recent years, the struggles of Latter-day Saints in abusive relationships have made national headlines. The media attention has highlighted a deeply unfortunate perception: many Latter-day Saints fear that by choosing to leave an abusive relationship, they are at risk of breaking their covenants with God. Mental health professionals and law enforcement officers who work with Latter-day Saint populations attest to the number of people who continue to be hurt, humiliated, and even killed because they believe it is their religious obligation to endure abuse to the end. 
    This damaging misperception, and the traditions that have helped create and maintain it, must be corrected. With a direct and straightforward discussion of the doctrines and teachings about abuse, this book not only provides clear guidance for bishops and other local leaders on how to respond to abuse, but it will also help you discover God's true feelings about abuse and the love he has for all who suffer. 
    Learn to identify the signs of abuse in your own relationships and in others. 
    Overcome roadblocks that may be hindering escape from an abusive situation. 
    Follow the path of healing in mind, body, and spirit. 
    The gospel of Jesus Christ offers tremendous hope, healing, and redemption for those who suffer mistreatment, neglect, and abuse of all kinds. The deliverance offered is not only spiritual and post-mortal, it is temporal, applying to here and now. This message needs to work its way into our collective conscience and become an integral part of our culture.
