Sinopse

"Polish Holiday Customs" explores the vibrant traditions that shape Poland's national identity. It delves into how history, religion, and social life intertwine, creating unique celebrations. From tracing the roots of Christmas (Boże Narodzenie) and Easter (Wielkanoc) to examining All Saints' Day (Wszystkich Świętych) and May Day (Święto Pracy), the book reveals how pre-Christian Slavic beliefs melded with Catholic traditions. These customs reinforce community bonds and transmit cultural values, highlighting the resilience of Polish culture through centuries of change.

 
The book uniquely presents a cultural studies perspective, examining how Polish holiday customs have evolved over time. By drawing on ethnographic research, historical documents, and folklore, it illuminates the lived experiences of those who participate in these traditions. Beginning with fundamental concepts, the book progresses through specific holidays, analyzing their historical roots and symbolic meanings, culminating in a discussion of Polish identity in the modern world.

Learn insights from mourning experts that show there is: • HOPE for today and the future • PROMISE that the resources needed to get through grief are available Larry Barber knows grief all too well.

    Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. 
    Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals? The Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it. Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. 
    Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation. Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given on how to make the most of a visit. Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. 
    Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
    "A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews

    Race complicates our relationships, even when we reject racism and seek to walk a better path together. How can we get our thinking—and our conversations—unstuck from entrenched patterns? In this book, four experts in psychology and social work present a model for how to build and deepen the cross-race relationships we want.
    The starting place, they testify, must be a biblical understanding of the problem of racial disunity, grounded in the grand narrative of Scripture, followed by practical insights about psychology and social behavior. This book is the culmination of professional—but also deeply personal—conversations the authors have had with each other, wrestling together over current events, their own stories, and their roles in the healing process. They combine biblical teachings with psychological science to help Christians develop the skills to discuss race and ethnicity.
    In each chapter, you will be guided through essential information, biblical examples, case studies, activities, and journaling exercises to prepare you to practice healing conversations. Using research from psychology, attachment theory, and emotionally focused therapy, this process will build your knowledge, self-awareness, other-awareness, and specific relational skills.
    Jesus embodied love, challenged injustice, welcomed those rejected by society, and engaged in healing conversations with everyone he encountered. The insights and practices in Healing Conversations on Race will help Christians grow in Christlikeness and follow his example.
