Book excerpt: Drawing upon diverse and specific examples of self-study, described here by the practitioners themselves, this unique book formulates a methodological framework for self-study in education. This collection brings together a diverse and international range of self-studies carried out in teacher education, each of which has a different perspective to offer on issues of method and methodology, including: * memory work * fictional practice * collaborative autobiography * auto-ethnography * phenomenology * image-based approaches. Such ethical issues likely to arise from self-study as informed consent, self-disclosure and crises of representation are also explored with depth and clarity. As method takes centre stage in educational and social scientific research, and self-study becomes a key tool for research, training, practice and professional development in education, Just Who Do We Think We Are? provides an invaluable resource for anyone undertaking this form of practitioner research.

Fallon reviews Liverpool's history of expansion and decline, which has left fewer and older priests serving fewer active Catholics and an undiminished number who still require baptisms, first communions, marriages and funerals. It contrasts the models of priesthood found in Liverpool with American studies of the cultic and servant leader models of priesthood, taking into account the theological viewpoints and personality profiles of the individuals who took part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about humanity. It questions the essence of who we are as an individual, as part of a shared community and as a species from various perspectives. We are seekers….We want to know the answers to the essence and intricate mechanisms of everything that concerns us and everything around us. What is it all about? How and why do things happen? We want to know the cause or causes. Is there an ultimate cause for who I am and who do we think we are? Frequently, we find ourselves contemplating: What course of action should we pursue? To live or merely to survive. As we strive to gain knowledge, it is important to recognise the essential role of effort in navigating the complex fabric of life. I believe that every individual, at various junctures, assumes the role of a philosopher, thereby engaging actively in the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, seeking answers to these fundamental questions is not solely reserved for intellectuals, theologians and esotericists, but rather it is a matter that should engage the attention of anyone possessing a modicum of rationality. The subject matter encapsulated within the pages of this book has been expounded upon by a multitude of erudite authors and profound thinkers, who have traversed the realms of knowledge and contemplation. Drawing upon my perception, I have attempted to reconnect the scattered dots, unveiling my discernment of the world and the essence of humanity. The resultant canvas, adorned with enigmatic queries, beckons us to embark upon a journey of introspection and enlightenment, ultimately leading each one of us to an understanding of who do we think we are. This is Volume I, and it covers the first section of mysteries. Volume II covers miracles and mythology and concludes with my own thoughts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we travel down the road of life, we get to meet and build relationships with all types of people. Some are very easy to get to know and simply a joy to be around; others may be more of a challenge, and we find it difficult to get very close to them. Is it our fault or theirs? Many times, we dont stop to consider how others perceive us. We just trod along, living our lives, making some folks like us while others despise us. Have you ever considered how you stack up? Do others like you and want to spend as much time as possible with you? Or do they go out of their way to avoid being in your presence? In this book, I identify many of the different personality traits of individuals that I have encountered in my life. Some characteristics stand alone, while other may overlap. Perhaps you will find yourself in a number of these. I did! It has often been said, You must first identify the problem before you can go about solving it. As you read this book, try to pick out traits about yourself that you would like to modify or even eliminate. Keep in mind that you may also find traits that you want to improve or develop. It is hard to take an in-depth look at ourselves. Hopefully, this book will help you to do so and encourage you to make positive changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A play for older actors. This play presents a kaleidoscope of stories about war, displacement, revolution and liberation taking us on an emotional journey across three continents. Based on the actors’ personal and family experiences, the stories interweave and overlap, exploring moments of joy, sadness and laughter set against key historical events over the last hundred years. Poignant, moving, funny, inspiring, this is the first piece of work created by the Visible Ensemble, dedicated to putting older performers and their rich lives centre stage. Reviews ‘Memories are picked up like dropped stitches... by a company of older actors of defiant talent’ – The Observer ‘At once charming, funny, touching, surprising and sad, this is a ride through the gamut of emotion that is life, or in this case, many lives’ – Everything Theatre ‘This is endlessly, endlessly moving theatre — go see’ – A Younger Theatre ‘A beautiful production — there is an immediacy to the stories that is intoxicating’ – Entertainment Focus ‘This is an ensemble work in which every performance is magnificent and as a whole a wonderful accomplishment. Don’t miss it.’ – British Theatre Guide ‘...by the time I left the theatre, I was having difficulty selecting favourite scenes to pick out in this review. And that would be my conclusion: you have to see this play, because there’s just so much of it that you can’t afford to miss.’ – A Theatre Blog ‘All of which makes the mission statement of ‘Visible’ – a new ensemble company formed of older actors – even more urgent and necessary’ – Exeunt Magazine Audience feedback ‘It was so refreshing to see older performers depicted not in the narrow ways we generally see them on stage and screen – as doddering fools, terribly nice little old ladies, or bit-part players. The evening very much made me think about how terribly out of step we are in our industry in terms of how we present older people. So if that was – in part – the ensemble’s intention, then job well done!’ – Lucy Kerbel Director, Tonic Theatre ‘It was as very moving performance, as the memories were totally personal and beautifully delivered. And a brave and long-overdue venture. Please keep me on your mailing list.’ – Katharine Sathe, University of 3rd Age ‘A superbly energetic production – not just physically, but in its wealth of ideas too. I do hope it gets the recognition it deserves.’ – Jane Dorner General Audience via Feedback Wall ‘The best night’s theatre I have experienced in years. A master lesson in acting.’ ‘As a 20 year old, I feel this show was an out of this world way of showing what came before phones and the internet. I don’t think I quite realised how different your childhoods were to how mine has been – how different my own late grandmother’s must have been. Congratulations on a fab show!’ ‘A very inspiring and polished production. Older people are the people we all must learn from – this is a wonderful example.’ ‘An endearing performance about hopes, dreams and the power of memory. Excellently told by a talented cast. Well done! Could feel history coming alive. Love from a 20 year old American, Katie.’ ‘To put it very simply: thank you for sharing this universal story made of your individual memories in such a way everyone can connect with it. Moving. Funny. An open window for reflection on how we all carry our stories, memories, family bonds.’ Sonja Linden Born in London to German refugee parents, Sonja is a theatre producer and writer whose plays have been produced on radio and on stage throughout the UK and the United States.

Have your experiences consisted of ongoing circumstances over which you had no control? Therefore, the only choices you could possibly have made were the ones you made because you had to; they were all that were available to you. We will even verbalize, "I had to do it, I had no choice." Our having no choice is just not true. Everything happening to us is the result of our choices. If we choose to be victims of circumstances--it's our choice. You see, circumstances happen to all of us; it's what you do with them that makes all the difference. You see, it's within every one of our present abilities to choose different paths for our lives. Even Jesus said, "Open your minds." We must become aware, each of things working out in our life is the result of a decision to choose a different path. So what will yours be? It's your choice to be victimized by your circumstance of life, or not. What will you do?

Book excerpt: “An exhilarating collection” (The New York Times Book Review) of ten blended stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro “The rich texture of its narrative and the author’s graceful style make [The Beggar Maid] a considerable accomplishment.”—Joyce Carol Oates, Ms. In this vibrant series of interweaving stories, Alice Munro recreates the evolving bond—one that is both constricting and empowering—between two women in the course of almost forty years. One is Flo, practical, suspicious of other people’s airs, at times dismayingly vulgar. The other is Rose, Flo’s stepdaughter, a clumsy, shy girl who somehow—in spite of Flo’s ridicule and ghastly warnings—leaves the small town she grew up in to achieve her own equivocal success in the larger world.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A meditation on sense-making when there’s no sense to be made, on letting go when we can’t hold on, and on being unafraid even when we’re terrified.”—Lucy Kalanithi “Belongs on the shelf alongside other terrific books about this difficult subject, like Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air and Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal.”—Bill Gates NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE Kate Bowler is a professor at Duke Divinity School with a modest Christian upbringing, but she specializes in the study of the prosperity gospel, a creed that sees fortune as a blessing from God and misfortune as a mark of God’s disapproval. At thirty-five, everything in her life seems to point toward “blessing.” She is thriving in her job, married to her high school sweetheart, and loves life with her newborn son. Then she is diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. The prospect of her own mortality forces Kate to realize that she has been tacitly subscribing to the prosperity gospel, living with the conviction that she can control the shape of her life with “a surge of determination.” Even as this type of Christianity celebrates the American can-do spirit, it implies that if you “can’t do” and succumb to illness or misfortune, you are a failure. Kate is very sick, and no amount of positive thinking will shrink her tumors. What does it mean to die, she wonders, in a society that insists everything happens for a reason? Kate is stripped of this certainty only to discover that without it, life is hard but beautiful in a way it never has been before. Frank and funny, dark and wise, Kate Bowler pulls the reader deeply into her life in an account she populates affectionately with a colorful, often hilarious retinue of friends, mega-church preachers, relatives, and doctors. Everything Happens for a Reason tells her story, offering up her irreverent, hard-won observations on dying and the ways it has taught her to live. Praise for Everything Happens for a Reason “I fell hard and fast for Kate Bowler. Her writing is naked, elegant, and gripping—she’s like a Christian Joan Didion. I left Kate’s story feeling more present, more grateful, and a hell of a lot less alone. And what else is art for?”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and president of Together Rising
