You know Who An Alienated Daughter's Memoir
Even when parents divorce, their children are allowed to keep loving both of them.At least that is how it should be. But shortly after Dana's parents split up, her whole maternal family is cast out of her life. Traumatized but afraid to upset her father, Dana obediently goes along with this plan of erasing the past. Over time, her mother becomes a fading memory, an outline in her imagination, etched in colors. Red hair, white skin, the same blue eyes as Dana's. Unable to voice her yearning to have her mother back, or even to ask questions about her, Dana holds on to proof of her mother's existence wherever she can find it. In this harrowing memoir, Dana makes her way through her lonely childhood and teenage years, and through her father's second marriage with the woman she is told to call mother. Dana tries to fill the emptiness left by her mother's absence, but she eventually learns that she must harness the courage to face the truth, whether or not that leads her back to her mother.

One in four Christian women will experience domestic abuse, and for these women their experience can be incredibly challenging to their faith.

Through research, personal stories and opportunities to journal, No Visible Scars seeks to help survivors find answers to commonly asked questions such as 'Where is God in all this?' and face the thorny theological concepts of divorce, submission and gender roles. Survivors will be helped to recognise that God is firmly on the side of the abused, He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.

Many survivors find attending a recovery group intimidating and would prefer to read a book in their own time; others don't have access to the programme. Through this book, survivors can learn more about their experiences and unpick some of the faith lies they may have acquired as a result.

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.
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 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.

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.

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.
