Sinossi

"Folk Belief Systems" explores the persistent influence of traditional beliefs on modern societies, revealing how these ancient worldviews continue to shape legal frameworks and cultural customs. The book argues that many contemporary laws and social practices are not solely products of modern thought but are also influenced by belief systems passed down through generations. For example, ancestor veneration can significantly affect inheritance laws, while cosmological beliefs may underpin environmental regulations. 

 
The book examines folk belief systems, traditional beliefs, and cultural practices across various cultures, highlighting how they manifest in legal systems, cultural customs, rituals, and social norms. By drawing from ethnographic studies, legal documents, and historical records, the book demonstrates the tangible influence of these beliefs. It challenges the notion that modernity has completely supplanted traditional worldviews, emphasizing the importance of understanding this heritage for interpreting present-day societal structures.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamental concepts of folk belief systems to exploring case studies that illustrate their impact on legal systems and cultural customs related to birth, marriage, death, and social interactions. Ultimately, it presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the ongoing relationship between traditional beliefs and modern society, offering insights for policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in the cultural forces shaping our world.

    “The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.""The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.""I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.” CHE GUEVARAIn this unique audio primer and celebration of the inspirational life and great work of revolutionary and social reformer Commandante Ernesto Rafael 'Che" Guevara de la Serna Lynch. Ernesto was born June 14, 1928, in Rosario, Argentina, in a family with aristocratic roots but strong socialistic ideals. In June of 1955 young Ernesto met Raul Castro. On July 8th Fidel Castro arrived in Mexico to join his brother and Ernesto. When Fidel met Che "he was already an educated revolutionary.” Remembers Castro. The great Cuban revolution against tyranny soon followed and was won chiefly because of the dedication of the Castros and Dr. Guevara. On October 8, 1967, in the village La Higuera, Bolivia, Che, and two comrades fell into the hands of the army. A Bolivian colonel and the representatives of the CIA arrived by helicopter. It was decided to murder Che and his comrades Willy Cuba and Juan Pablo Chang immediately.

    What happens when an entire community is moved?  
     
    Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents—many of whom are elderly—were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. To help them resettle, a group of volunteers came together and formed the Cassia Resettlement Team. 
     
    They Told Us to Move tells the story of the relocation through interviews with the residents from the Dakota community and reflections by the volunteers. Accompanying these are essays by various academics on urban planning; gender and family; ageing, poverty, and social services; civil society and citizenship; and architectural heritage and place-making. Through this three-part conversation, the book explores human stories of devotion, expectation, and remembrance. It asks what we can achieve through voluntary action and how we can balance self-reliance and public services. 
     
    This book is for people who want to understand the kind of society we are, and question what kind of society we want to be.

    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.
