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 kingdom. 
We 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

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!"
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.

Paws in Mourning
Paws in Mourning: A Journey Through Grief and Resilience explores the way dogs experience separation and how their grief mirrors our own. Through the story of Jerry, a spirited Samoyed mourning his companion Namkha, Monica Levert explores the nature of loss. "Grief doesn't always speak in words," she writes. "Often, it curls in corners, hides beneath beds, or sits calmly beside us, defying explanation." Weaving personal narrative with science, she draws on grief theory, neuroscience, and animal behaviour to show how dogs experience, process, and adapt to loss. Literary and artistic references offer a gentle bridge between knowledge and emotion, while practical guidance helps readers accompany dogs through bereavement, separation, and change. This is a lyrical meditation on vulnerability, memory, and the power of presence and attunement. It is for anyone who has loved and lost.

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.

From the chaos of trauma wards to quiet hospice rooms, she shows that dying is not an end but a poignant, human art.

Multiple Perspectives on Battered Mothers and Their Children Fleeing to the United States for Safety
In cases in which the left-behind fathers filed Hague Convention petitions to have their children returned, the study found that the mothers and children had often experienced severe violence from these men. The study also found that mothers were unable to access needed resources in their home countries, so their only recourse was to take their children and seek safety and support from family members living in the United States. Further, the study found that U.S. authorities and courts were not receptive to the safety concerns expressed by the mothers. Another key finding was that mothers and children faced great hardship after a Hague Convention decision; legal fees and representation were major barriers for women in responding to Hague Convention petitions. The study found that Hague Convention decisions have not taken into account two decades of research on child exposure to domestic violence when deciding on what constitutes grave risk for a child. The study concludes that safety for battered mothers and their children facing Hague petitions requires training for attorneys and judges on both domestic violence and the law that pertains to Hague Convention cases. For this study, researchers interviewed battered mothers around the world, their attorneys, and their husbands' attorneys. Published judicial decisions were examined in cases involving the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, with attention to those cases that involved allegations of domestic violence by one parent against the other. Twenty-two mothers who responded to Hague petitions in U.S. courts were interviewed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

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.
