Call Me Evil, Let Me Go?

!

Sarah Jones (HarperCollins Publishers)

 

Call Me Evil , Let Me Go is the shocking, but inspiring, true story of a mother's desperate attempt to save her children from a lifetime of misery and abuse.  Sarah watched in agony as she saw each of her children beaten and force-fed. But isolated, and brainwashed, she was terrified about what would happen to her family if she tried to escape or speak out against the regime.  Then she saw her 8 year old son Paul being brutally beaten and she faced a devasting choice: stay with her husband, and all she believed in, and continue to watch here children being abused, or flee into the world she believed was full of evil.

God's Wheels

!

John Price (CCPAS)

 

The Bible says that ‘God rides the heavens’. If that’s so, is He interested in what I ride or drive?

 ‘His eye is on the sparrow’ may be wonderfully heart-warming to twitchers but the possibility that He also knows about ‘wheels’ is even more wonderful to me – and, I suspect, to others. So begins a journey that you are invited to motor along with .....’ .

 

This book draws on John's passion for vehicles, ranging from his first bike, motor scooters and a 'passable' black and white mini with red seats, and asks the question, 'Can a man love 'God' and 'wheels'?' A5 162pp

Helping Adolescents and Adults to Build Self Esteem

By Deborah M Plummer (Paperback - 22 Sep 2004)

(Jessica Kingsley Publishing)

 

A Photocopiable resource book filled with simple, practical and innovative ideas for the development and maintenance of a healthy self-esteem. A4 268pp.

 

Synopsis:

A healthy level of individual self-esteem is the foundation for emotional, physcial and social well-being. People who value themselves and who recognise their own skills are likely to live fulfulling and rewarding lives and will tend to attract genuine liking and respect from other. Conversely, low levels of self-esteem have been linked with such personal and social concerns as school failure, depression, social anxiety, violence and substance abuse. Helping Adolescents and Adults to Build Self-Esteem follows on from the widely acclaimed Helping Children to Build Self-Esteem. It is filled with simple, practical and innovative ideas for supporting the development and maintenance of healthy self-esteem. Based on the author's clinical experience, the easy-to-use photocopiable activity sheets encourage participants to draw on existing skills and to develop new approaches to building confidence and feelings of self-worth. These exercises are suitable for work with individuals and with groups, and will prove an indispensable aid to building self-esteem in adolescents and individuals.
