Summary

The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists (1914) is a semi-autobiographical novel by the Irish house painter and sign writer Robert Noonan, who wrote the book in his spare time under the pen name Robert Tressell. Published after Tressell's death from tuberculosis in the Liverpool Royal Infirmary in 1911, the novel follows a house painter's efforts to find work in the fictional English town of Mugsborough (based on the coastal town of Hastings) to stave off the workhouse for himself, his wife and his son. The original title page, drawn by Tressell, carried the subtitle: "Being the story of twelve months in Hell, told by one of the damned, and written down by Robert Tressell."

    In "Discourse on the Method," René Descartes lays the foundation for modern philosophical inquiry and the quest for knowledge through scepticism and doubt. With meticulous reasoning, Descartes dismantles the edifice of accepted truths to build a new understanding of reality based on clear and distinct ideas. His famous declaration, "I think, therefore I am," encapsulates the essence of this transformative work. Descartes invites us on a profound journey to question, reason, and ultimately seek the truth about our existence. Read in English, unabridged.

    "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

    Discover Research as a Spiritually Formative Journey
    In counseling and psychology programs, students and educators alike often approach research with feelings of apprehension. Educators and researchers Kristen Kansiewicz and Paul Loosemore offer a different perspective. In Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom, they reveal how research is not only an essential element of mental health work but a unique invitation to curiosity, wisdom, and personal growth.
    Kansiewicz and Loosemore provide an integrative connection between Christian faith and the process of research. They unpack such topics as:
    
    - how to engage one's whole self as a researcher
    - different perspectives on knowledge and truth
    - the importance of diversity in research
    - applying research insights to the clinical setting
    Designed to accompany and enhance the primary curriculum in a research course, Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom:
    
    - offers a Christian formation perspective of the research process.
    - shows how to look at Scripture through a research lens and research through a biblical lens.
    - includes discussion questions and classroom learning activities.
    - contains inspiring ideas for teaching research courses.
    - compliments CACREP curriculum.
    
    God created us to be explorers, filled with awe as we uncover truths all around. Everyone in the mental health professions can benefit from understanding what good research is and how they can engage their natural curiosity wisely in every phase of their work. Whether you are an educator, student, or professional in psychology, counseling, social work, or a similar profession, this resource empowers you to engage with research in a meaningful and faithful way.
