Do you ever feel confused, depressed or anxious? Do you think that you are going through some sort of crisis? Do you seem at odds with your partner, friends or work colleagues? But you can't understand why this is happening? If so, Passionate will shed some light, as its author has experienced all these things and more besides, and has survived to tell the tale. To achieve this, he experienced various therapies which helped to improve his mental health. But above all else, it was his discovery of attachment theory that was responsible for clearing his confusion and helping him to understand why his life had been so intense, so chaotic, and so passionate. Originally applied to the early parent-child bonding process, attachment theory can also help explain why we have become who we are as adults. The author has applied this aspect of attachment theory to himself - as he takes us on a roller-coaster tour of his life, with thoughtful self-analysis applied to every stage of the journey. Passionate is not a quick fix for people unwilling to look within but it does show how positive mental health can be achieved through a better understanding of what exactly is going on in our lives and why. So, strap yourself in for a ride that might change your life!

This is the highly personal, honest and unusual story of a Coventry City fan.

All too often, survivors of a loved one’s suicide are left behind, struggling with a loss that fosters stigma, shame, blame, guilt, and abandonment. For the survivor, these struggles last long after the funeral is over, and friends and relatives have returned to their daily lives. Healing the loss after the suicide of a love one is about restarting your life with nothing firm to stand on. Little Steps is the guided process James Adams recorded in his journal documenting before, during, and after his son committed suicide. It starts with conversations where voices of wisdom are guiding him along a spiritual path of discovery; then, as he was confronted with his loss, those conversations shifted toward coping with and understanding the grief process. Feeling left behind and somehow responsible, James continued to write his guided conversations as he dealt with lingering Why did he do this? What should I have done differently? What could I have done differently? If only I had known . . . What did I do wrong? These real-time journaled conversations capture in a loving, spiritual, and supportive way all the drama, trauma, and recovery as they occurred, making Little Steps a powerful documentary of healing from a traumatic loss.

A thoroughly revised edition of the classic on creativity, essential for individuals and teams who want to think outside the box.

Although the Psalms are much beloved by readers of the Bible, some hostile language in individual psalms may be disconcerting. Are these seemingly vindictive prayers acceptable in the mouths of Christians? How is a pastor supposed to preach these texts?James E. Adams wants us to embrace God's Word in its entirety, and that means examining the parts that make us uncomfortable. In short, helpful chapters, Adams answers a number of questions: Are these psalms from God? Who is the speaker in the psalms? May we pray these psalms today? It turns out that the Prince of Peace has much to teach us about war, and even the imprecatory psalms may be prayed with the merciful goal of conversion.Twenty-fifth anniversary editionincludes a new epilogue and additional chapter.

Podobnie jak inne języki, łacina zawierała wyrazy i określenia uważane za wulgarne, a także wielkie bogactwo eufemizmów i metafor odnoszących się do cielesności i seksu. J.N. Adams czyni wyłom w językowej cenzurze, która kazała dotąd filologom i autorom słowników pomijać pola semantyczne związane ze sferą objętą kulturowym tabu. Tymczasem takie pomijanie równało się niemożliwości właściwego zrozumienia i trafnego przekładu nie tylko wytworów piśmiennictwa popularnego, jak choćby pompejańskich graffiti, ale wielu niuansów klasycznej literatury, która - okazuje się - bynajmniej nie stroniła od seksualnych aluzji, a niekiedy od gruboskórnej dosłowności. Barwny i bogaty w materiał źródłowy leksykon J.N. Adamsa ułatwi zadanie wszystkim czytelnikom i badaczom dawnych tekstów, a miłośnikom kultury antycznej umożliwi bardziej całościowe na nią spojrzenie.
