Book excerpt: "To understand a people, acquaint yourself with their proverbs." - Arab Proverb "Stephen McGrane has compiled an extremely thorough volume of Arab proverbs that offers the outsider a view into the Arab way of thinking."-Feather Quill Book Reviews "From personal experience in the Arab world, Stephen McGrane has collected the most meaningful and commonly used Arabic proverbs, providing non-Arabic speakers an understanding of our culture. Also, with the availability of his book, explaining Arab proverbs to our Western friends could not be easier."-Ali A. Dashti, PhD, Kuwait University, Department of Mass Communication "Stephen McGrane draws significant parallels between the proverbs of the Arabic and Western worlds. If anything, one realizes that the value systems of the two cultures are not as disparate as frequently perceived."-James I.

Keith Hight, Theatre Coordinator, College of Southern Maryland "This book is not only a collection of proverbs, but a gateway to the understanding of a whole different culture."-Abdulrahman Thakir Alhashemi, M.D., Psychotherapist, Clinical Psychological Counselor and PhD researcher in the 'Islamic Perspective of Psychotherapy, ' South Carolina, USA

This work includes over 20,000 proverbs from more than 120 languages, nationalities and ethnic groups. The proverbs are arranged under 1,300 headings (e.g., accidents, divided loyalty, marriage, prosperity, shame), and each includes the nationality, group or language in which it originated.

Book excerpt: Trust and Change explains the democratic basis of therapeutic communities (TCs) and what exactly happens in community meetings including those in prison. It deals with commonly asked questions about TCs and describes their four basic pillars: democratisation, tolerance, communality and reality confrontation as well as the ‘no secrets’ principle (commonly referred to as a footstool). It examines the need to create a culture of enquiry and ways of avoiding trauma and other risks. It shows how TCs integrate with normal prison regimes and locations and the arrangements for record keeping and auditing. Throughout, the book contains ‘Thinking Points’ and gives examples of typical structures and schedules together with the aims, purposes and rationale of key aspects of TC work. Explains TC work in basic, straightforward terms. Deals with problems, pitfalls and possibilities of encouraging engagement in a TC. Includes educational anecdotes in an easy-to-read format. For newcomers and seasoned TC workers alike. Reviews ‘A wonderful helpful book that beautifully encapsulates the work of a TC’— Jinnie Jefferies, Founder, London Centre of Psychodrama and senior trainer in NHS and Prison TCs. ‘Speaks directly to some of the real confusions and dilemmas faced by the staff member in a TC…offers good advice…enlivened and illustrated by examples…I recommend it’— Barbara Rawlings.

Book excerpt: This book offers an insightful account of Arab popular culture through the lens of about four hundred annotated Jordanian proverbs. The collection touches on almost every aspect of daily life (including animals, kinship, religion, weather, generosity, money, food, and love). The proverbs cover a wide spectrum of morals related to competence, appearance, ignorance, naivety, corruption, wisdom, experience, courage, and kindness, among many others. Specialized readers, including linguists, translators, anthropologists, psychologists, diplomats, and military persons, among others, will find significant material and insights relevant to their work in this book. It serves to provide the reader with a better, deeper understanding of Jordanian/Arab mentality and behaviour, which will encourage intercultural communication and help remove several socially-biased stereotypes, in addition to enriching the culture of proverbs in human language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pilgrim-themed spirituality for Christian formation, Pilgrim Spirituality resources everyday Christianity, congregational life, social outreach, and religious travel through definitional frames of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is a prominent biblical image. Yet, despite its contemporary resurgence, its capacity for Christian formation remains untapped. While our understanding of pilgrimage has been too narrow, we lack a definitional framework that fosters transformational practice. Definitions matter, thought creates possibilities, and intentionality enhances experience. Recognizing pilgrimage as a comprehensive expression of the Christian life, Pilgrim Spirituality provides tools for perceiving spiritual possibilities, engaging situational context, and interpreting lived experience. Espousing both personal and social holiness, Pilgrim Spirituality gives definitional status to the Other, attends to the self, and seeks the presence of God in the facts in which we find ourselves. Pilgrim Spirituality examines Christian concepts of time, place, and journey, while emphasizing the personal, corporate, incarnational, metaphorical, and tensional character of the pilgrim life. Exploring the motives, experiences, and practices of pilgrimage, Pilgrim Spirituality resources readers in their destinational pursuit of the Christian faith: the union of God, self, and the Other.
