  What are you hiding? 
  Chances are there is something about you that makes you different, that makes you feel you don’t belong. Many of us hide—our ethnicity, sexuality, mental health, disability, religion…the list goes on. The diversity and inclusion movement has emboldened some to come out of the shadows. But too often, disability is not included in that conversation. 
  Ruth Rathblott was born with a limb difference. In her compelling and intimate memoir, she recounts the exhausting and often lonely years she spent overachieving and trying to hide her disability before she learned to unhide. She takes us on a journey of self-discovery: discovering her difference, being taught to hide it, and ultimately finding self-acceptance and connection with others. 
  This book will show you how to build a world of true acceptance, inclusion, and belonging. By the end, you will understand the need to:Own your difference—it’s your greatest gift!Find connection and community by allowing others in to support youCreate inclusive conversations that allow for curiosity and empathyRecognize why representation is essential to creating an inclusive environmentRealize the power of sharing your story 
  Singlehandedly is a book for all of us who have been hiding our differences and want to find freedom, for leaders who want to build more inclusive teams, and for diversity and inclusion directors committed to expanding the diversity conversation to include everyone.

  Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.
  
   
  The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.

  Asperger’s - Strength Solutions...

  A lack of understanding about Asperger's Syndrome often leads to significant challenges for those affected. Individuals with Asperger's typically struggle with social comprehension and reciprocal communication. If others recognize and acknowledge these difficulties, it can help prevent the onset of clinical depression for those with Asperger's. People with this syndrome often have a deep interest in specific fields and perceive culture, people, and the world around them in a unique way. 
  When meeting someone new, we quickly form judgments based on their appearance, including their clothing, facial expressions, body language, voice, and tone. These impressions shape our responses. However, those with Asperger's may find it challenging to pick up on subtle social cues, which complicates their interactions and can lead to confusion, stress, and depression. 
  Children with Asperger's require additional support and care, while adults with the syndrome benefit from job opportunities that match their skills and abilities. These individuals have much to offer when given the right opportunities. 
  Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of Asperger's Syndrome, but it is crucial to share this knowledge to shift perspectives and help those affected manage their challenges. Individuals with Asperger's often excel in noticing minute details, a trait that can be either a strength or a weakness. They may not conform to societal norms but possess a strong drive for truth, knowledge, and excellence.

  Bizarre Laws & Curious Customs...

  In the UK, we have some bizarre laws that have littered the statute books of our sceptred isle throughout history. Not all of them have been repealed over the centuries. Some of them made perfect sense at the time they were introduced but seen through modern eyes, now appear archaic and draconian. Despite the great efforts of the Law Commission in England and Wales to review and recommend reforms for many of these outdated laws, there are centuries of law that must be painstakingly gone through. 
  As well as some bizarre laws, the UK also has its fair share of curious customs and time-honoured traditions that have been observed for centuries. On the surface, many appear to be nothing more than theatrical pomp and pageantry. However, they are all born from strong rationale. 
  The UK parliament seems to have had a particular penchant for passing laws related to fish and animals, indecency and passing sentences with some humiliating public punishments. 
  This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys learning about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries, along with some rather macabre consequences along the way. 
  Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis? 
  With over 160 bizarre but nevertheless true, laws and customs, you can use this book to satisfy your curiosity about what our ancestors had to contend with over the years, or perhaps as a reference guide for trivia quizzes.
