Happy Death Club
Anthropologist Naomi Westerman was studying death rituals around the world--when her whole family died. Upon losing those closest to her, Naomi Westerman saw that death was more than just an abstract academic concept; it was a deeply painful and personal experience. She became fascinated by loss and grief, and hoped to cope and demystify death by turning to history, art, and pop culture. Happy Death Club examines the many faces of death and grief in Westerman's own life and in cultures around the world. From expensive coffins and unconventional burials to horror films and true crime, what does our treatment of death and dying have to tell us about how we live our lives? What makes a "good death"? And who owns our bodies before and after we die? Both meaningful and darkly humorous, Happy Death Club presents a frank, curious look at this universal human experience--one we're often too afraid to talk about--and what lies beyond.

The Permanency of Marriage
The Permanency of Marriage takes the reader sequentially through the Bible explaining what the Bible says about marriage and its duration. This book explores the common, and not so common, arguments for divorce and the Biblical response to each.Berner grew up in the 1950s and 60s. Before and during that time period, marriage was for life. Divorce was openly condemned and brought severe consequences from the church and from society. In the 1960s as his pastors and teachers changed their position from divorce is wrong to God allows divorce for specific situations, questions arose. If God's character never changes, how can divorce go from wrong to right? If God's counsel never changes, how can divorce go from wrong to acceptable? If God's Word never changes, how can divorce go from wrong to beneficial? The Permanency of Marriage addresses these questions.Berner's desire for answers was furthered when the issue of divorce and remarriage surfaced in the life of a very close personal friend. Later, this issue surfaced in his immediate family. With his own marriage approaching, his need to know was immensely personal. When his wife obtained her divorce, finding God's answers became a necessity! Berner had to know exactly what God expected of him regardless of what family, friends, religious leaders, and literature said. His book provides answers to these questions.As he studied for answers to the above questions, Berner noticed those advocating for divorce and for divorce and remarriage used the same chapters and verses, with slight differences, to support their position. Those advocating no divorce and no remarriage used a set collection of chapters and verses to defend their position. Both groups ignored verses that did not fit their predetermined belief and behavior. The Permanency of Marriage deals with the chapters and verses used by both groups. And it deals with chapters and verses ignored by both groups.Berner also noticed, with almost no exceptions, books, articles, sermons, interviews, etc. on divorce and remarriage deliberately avoid discussing the consequences of both divorce and remarriage - consequences on the husband/wife, on the children, and on society in general. The Permanency of Marriage includes this topic.The Permanency of Marriage includes discussion on the causes of divorce; past and present research on divorce and remarriage; quotes from early church leaders (time of Christ to 500 AD); topics such as innocent party, before salvation, consider them dead; and other issues and topics that impact the duration of marriage and the rightness or wrongness of divorce and remarriage.Berner states he cannot claim with certainty that his book exhausts everything God says on this topic.He further states his book is a study, not an entertaining read. He asks for everyone to read every reference for themselves. Each biblical reference is discussed in detail as it relates to marriage and as it relates to divorce. Therefore, there will be content repetition. All bolding, underlining, and italics are his unless otherwise noted. All verses are from the King James Bible unless otherwise noted.

The Art of Stepparenting
What if stepfamilies are not in the best interest of your child? What if you as a stepparent are the real problem? Studies show that children brought up in stepfamilies are more prone to delinquent behavior than children raised by their biological parents, a fact that is overlooked and deserves more attention to reverse this trend that contributes to unsafe communities. Yet, data also show that one of three Americans is now a stepparent, a stepchild, a stepsibling, or some other member of a stepfamily. In The Art of Stepparenting-How to Blend Families Without Tearing Them Apart, Author Richard R. Ramos provides insight and wisdom for navigating the many challenges and pitfalls stepparents face with the blending of children from different biological parents into a new family unit. He offers valuable principles on parental personal growth in emotional maturity that is the key to improving your capacity to connect with your stepchildren. He will show you how to reconcile strained and/or broken stepparent-child relationships, share how to win loyalty and earn respect for your authority as a single parent or stepparent, and provide wisdom from the lessons learned by other single parents and stepparents.The Art of Stepparenting-How to Blend Families Without Tearing Them Apart will empower the single parent, stepparent, and foster parent to create a blended family experience that provides you with the richness of restoration, reconciliation, and harmony all families deserve to enjoy. Richard Ramos is recognized as a national and international expert on preventing youth violence. He is the founder of Parents on a Mission (POM), a parent leadership program developing parent mentors to teach parents how to build healthy relationships with their children. POM has been adopted by school districts, nonprofits, and correctional facilities throughout the United States and Latin America.
The Effects of Combat Deployments on Children and Spouses
In the past seven years, the United States has deployed a phenomenal number of service members, impacting their children and spouses. Each of these families has available--and tailored to them--a plethora of resources, including mental health programs, formal and informal support groups, practical and logistical support programs, and libraries of materials to help families cope. Yet there is still a perception, within the military spouse community, as well as outside the installation gates, that the Department of Defense (DOD) is not meeting the needs of families. This paper discusses current research related to combat deployments' negative effects on military families, such as increased child abuse, higher divorce rates, and mental health issues. It also gives an overview of some Air Force and DOD programs designed to assist families with deployment issues, notes that families are not fully utilizing existing programs and makes recommendations regarding those programs and directions for future research. As it continues to contend with the effects of deployments on families, the Air Force must focus its efforts on understanding the nature of the disconnect between programs and the people for whom they are intended, to find ways to draw people in to existing programs.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

What Children Don't Know... Hurts Them
Lene Tanggaard, Ph.D. Professor, Institute for Communication and Psychology. Member of the Danish Commission of well-being of children and young people. Karen Glistrup's book provides wonderful insights into the significance of speaking with children about what is actually happening. When a family is faced with life's challenges, or are living with mental illness in the family, professional therapy, that puts words to the experiences and feelings which arise, soothe the child.The book is filled with excellent examples, which cause the reader to think: Of course, we should not stay silent about what is meaningful to children.The book warrants my best recommendation. Read it!Dr. Elspeth McAdam, Child Psychiatrist Benedicte Schilling, Clinical Child- and Family Psychologist and Simon Burton, Systemic Psychotherapist: "For the professionals Karen has developed a different and potentially very important new approach breaking some of the more conventional ways of working with families when one of the parents has a mental illness.'What Children Don't Know... Hurts Them' is however not only for mental health professionals but a valuable source of knowledge, experience and inspiration for all adults - pedagogues, teachers, parents and grandparents. We want to listen to and understand the vulnerable child. Therefore, we meet the child with interest and a number of questions. But often the child does not have the answers and the interview can be an unpleasant experience for both child and counselor.This book is an excellent guide for any professional who wants to facilitate openness and demystification. This book guides and inspires professionals and parents alike to enter conversations that create a new relationship between children and parents, characterized by trust."Jesper Juul, Familytherapist mpf, Author, Ashoka Fellow: "This book is nothing short of a miracle - especially for the children and parents who are coexisting with mental illness as a significant member of their families. Dialogues of the kind that Karen Glistrup describes in What Children Don't Know...Will Hurt Them, will force open a new gate in a culture which not long ago thought it impossible to have meaningful and mutually inspiring talks with children, and I see the book as an important lighthouse in the new paradigm."Jessica Joelle Alexander, bestsellerforfatter og dansk for疆ldreekspert: "Jeg anbefaler st疆rkt denne guide til familier og professionelle, der 繪nsker at skabe en st疆rk forbindelse ved at forst疇, hvad der foreg疇r med deres b繪rn og har brug for v疆rkt繪jerne til at kunne tale om det." About the book: Children sense very clearly. They are always involved in what is going on around them. And when we don't talk about the reality, they start making things up. From a very young age, children develop strategies for coping and survival in the meaningless. Unfortunately, children's coping strategies / discomfort is often misinterpreted as something that is wrong with the child. Or the children are not seen at all because they can hide the pain... just like their parents do.In this book Karen Glistrup gives us knowledge and language we have been missing as parents and professionals to understand kids and how to talk to them in an honest and loving way. She offers much needed insights for parents for how to have honest, authentic and loving conversations with children about difficult topics and challenging life circumstances.Karen did her groundbreaking work with families within a traditional psychiatric institution at a time and in a professional culture, which would have kept most people from even trying. Her results were convincing, and today family talks to mentally ill parents and their children are offered in psychiatry throughout Denmark.

Divide & Conquer
DIVIDE & CONQUER: Battle of the Sexes Leads to Artificial CompanionshipBy Ukirah Yasmine Published by BePublished.org July 2025In a time when men and women are more divided than ever - emotionally, socially, and ideologically - DIVIDE & CONQUER delivers a provocative, insightful, and timely exploration of how failed relationships, online gender wars, and social disconnection are pushing people out of real love and into the arms of machines.Author Ukirah Yasmine peels back the layers of bitterness, rejection, and mistrust that fuel modern romance's demise, revealing how divisive ideologies and unresolved traumas have turned authentic intimacy into a battlefield. As society encourages more suspicion than vulnerability between the sexes, a growing number of people are abandoning the emotional complexity of human partnership in favor of artificial companionship-chatbots, AI lovers, and virtual intimacy.This bold and emotionally raw book exposes the hidden consequences of this trend: how bickering between wounded men and women leads to the death of honest communication, the rise of loneliness, and the seductive trap of being "understood" by something that does not feel.With vivid storytelling, cultural critique, and deep psychological insight, DIVIDE & CONQUER: Battle of the Sexes Leads to Artificial Companionship by Ukirah Yasmine urges readers to confront the real enemy: the systemic forces that profit from keeping us isolated, divided, and emotionally pacified by machines.Perfect for readers of Bell Hooks, Esther Perel, and Sherry Turkle, this book is a rallying cry for healing the rift between the sexes and reclaiming the messy, beautiful truth of human love - before it's too late.
Becoming Relationship Ready

To truly start anew, we need to first get in touch with the relationship we have with ourselves. Rather than "working" on the relationship, it's the work we do to understand what's going on inside us - independent of other people - that can unlock the door to true connection.The heart of this book is a guide to identifying and breaking old patterns. With this fresh approach to dating and even to existing relationships, we can finally see the lighter side of love and find joy in connection."I have been a marriage and family therapist for almost 50 years and I love this book.

Dying Ways
Learn how to cope with death by facing real stories of loss. "I am astounded at how much Dying Ways meant to me. I come from a traditional conservative family and death was only discussed in hushed tones. This book made me realize that death should not be an off-topic issue but rather something that must be faced in a loving and forthright manner." In the end, there is only the story we leave behind. For fifty-six years, palliative nurse Dale Heim has been a keeper of stories-whispered confessions, defiant last wishes, and unexpected moments of grace at life's closing. Face the comedy, tragedy, beauty, and despair of death through these true stories. In Dying Ways, she shares raw, tender stories from the frontlines of mortality: A tantric teacher who swims with dolphins as her final act of freedom; A grandmother dancing with butterfly tattoos over mastectomy scars; A WWII survivor serenaded by the Hallelujah Chorus as she takes her last breath; and many more. With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, Dale reveals how death reshapes the living-offering lessons in forgiveness, acceptance, and the courage to live fully, even as the light fades. From the chaos of trauma wards to quiet hospice rooms, she shows that dying is not an end but a poignant, human art. That there is such a thing as a good death, and ways to avoid a bad one. This is an essential companion for caregivers, grievers, and anyone who fears mortality's shadow. Because as Dale reminds us: "Death is only ugly if we allow it to be-but it can be the most beautiful truth we ever live." Includes "Need Support?" section with books, music, and resources for continuing the journey. "I recently lost my mother and was with her in her last moments, so seeing this book, I went on a journey to find out how the process was for others. I found the book to be helpful, cathartic, and informative. I highly recommend this book!"
Life After Divorce
Welcome to Life After Divorce--We're proud of you for taking the necessary steps in caring for yourself. This is no time to feel guilty about making sure you're okay. We want you to know that you're going to be better than okay because you'll be making decisions based on timeless advice and Biblical principles. We have both survived the soul-shattering trauma of divorce, but we also know the beauty of second chances once healing is achieved. Walk with us through the process and into the light of recovery.Surviving divorce, reclaiming your worth, and rebuilding life is as challenging as it is a wonderful opportunity to see God's will at work. Leah and I know what it feels like to hit the dark and bumpy patches of life, but we thank God for being a redeeming God of second chances.Divorce is a difficult topic, and it's possible you're still going through the process or struggling with the aftermath. We felt led to reach out in these times because we've not only been there, but we both wish there'd been someone or something like this book to offer us straight truths in turbulent times. We're not going to sugarcoat it, or encourage you to say sweet things about yourself in a mirror.Is divorce God's plan for family? Of course not. A healthy, nuclear family is what He wants for us. But there have been many families in the bible that didn't meet God's plan, still He extended grace and blessed them because they sought His heart. And better yet, God used these "less than ideal" families like theirs and ours to build His kingdomWe want to encourage you that through God's love and your faithfulness, it is possible to find healing, hope, and happiness post-divorce.Our F-A-I-T-H model for recovery to romance provides practical steps and biblical truths for the season of transitioning from defeat to victory. Although you may feel like it, you're not alone. The next time you're in church, look around and you'll see many believers who have been divorced or who are remarried with blended families. While most churches have a heart for the hurting, few provide the direct support to the divorced, or those remarrying and blending families. The effects of those divorces extend beyond single parents, as studies show thirty-five percent of children from divorced parents leave the church all together.We're not theologians. We're people just like you, who love God, but who make mistakes. We've endured the tragedy of divorce and know without fail that Christ has blessed us with each other. Now, we want to help and encourage others by sharing our journey. There is always hope, Scott and Leah Silverii

Between Rights and Rightfulness
For decades, activists have drawn attention to gender violence across the Pacific Islands and successfully argued for improved state responses. While reforms have been institutionalised in law and government policy, ongoing violence shows that these have limited effectiveness. In Between Rights and Rightfulness, Nicole George investigates how gender violence is regulated in Pacific Island countries, the factors that impede regulatory effectiveness, and women's own efforts and expertise in decreasing gender violence. Incorporating comparative fieldwork in Fiji, Bougainville, and within Kanak communities in New Caledonia, George assesses how gender violence is enabled and constrained by regulations created within and beyond the state. Importantly, the book engages directly with the women affected by systems of gendered regulation to understand how they interpret and navigate the regulatory complex that impacts their security. Drawing on feminist institutional theory and feminist theories of scale, George argues that the regulation of gender and gender violence occurs at a range of scales, and that efforts to enhance women's security require a clear and contextualised understanding of this regulatory complexity. This includes identifying the role of rule takers--actors who make determinations on which rules should be rightfully followed and those that they treat as more contestable. As George argues, women themselves must also be treated as active, but often marginalized, rule takers with knowledge and expertise on rule appropriateness. Providing a novel lens on the logics of rulemaking, Between Rights and Rightfulness offers important insights into how gendered security can be improved and made more meaningful to women who are vulnerable to violence.
