The last things we talk about : your guide to end of life transitions / by Boatwright, Elizabeth,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-242) and index.Exploring and expressing meaning and purpose -- Making wishes known to loved ones -- Talking about health and illness -- Putting your house in order -- Saying goodbye and the dying process -- Figuring out what happens next -- Piecing things back together after death: conversations around grief and loss."Whether we like it or not, we all die. People avoid talking about death because it is too mysterious, too dark, and occasionally, as in the case of an accidental or other sudden death, too unpredictable. Because we do not discuss death and dying in our current culture, people are left to wrestle with large questions about death. This book is a place to start thinking about, and preparing for, this inevitable event. The primary goal of The Last Things We Talk About is to help readers affirm, celebrate, and remember the people and experiences they cherish in this life. It encourages them to seriously consider their death and take planning one step at a time, according to their schedule, and as energy permits. Elizabeth Boatwright, DMin, BCC-PCHAC, CFP is a Relief Chaplain in Oncology Outpatient Palliative Care Medicine at Stanford Health Care. She has over 25 years in ministry experience serving diverse cultures along with extensive work in the arts and financial planning."--

Rwandan women rising / by Hunt, Swanee,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 377-383) and index.Foremothers -- The pressure builds -- Stateless -- To arms -- Genocide -- Immediate aftermath -- Community training ground -- A pull from the top -- Emboldened ministry of gender -- Countrywide women's councils -- Caucus crucible -- Fanning out -- A new constitution -- The quota -- Pioneering in Parliament -- Spurring local leadership -- Bending toward reconciliation -- Bringing them together -- Bringing them home -- Rethinking rape -- To testify -- Off the sidelines -- Behind the statistics -- Risk and resignation -- The meaning of marriage -- Safety : a new language -- Challenging changes -- Unmasking ambition -- Health means whole -- Every body matters -- Transformative results -- Little ones -- Reading rights -- Solidarity and sisterhood -- Manning the movement -- Sowing confidence -- Flying high -- Bringing along the masses -- Charting new pathways -- Complements and compliments -- Coming up.In the spring of 1994, the tiny African nation of Rwanda was ripped apart by a genocide that left nearly a million dead. Neighbors attacked neighbors. Family members turned against their own. After the violence subsided, Rwanda's women-drawn by the necessity of protecting their families-carved out unlikely new roles for themselves as visionary pioneers creating stability and reconciliation in genocide's wake. Today, 64 percent of the seats in Rwanda's elected house of Parliament are held by women, a number unrivaled by any other nation. While news of the Rwandan genocide reached all corners of the globe, the nation's recovery and the key role of women are less well known. In Rwandan Women Rising , Swanee Hunt shares the stories of some seventy women-heralded activists and unsung heroes alike-who overcame unfathomable brutality, unrecoverable loss, and unending challenges to rebuild Rwandan society. Hunt, who has worked with women leaders in sixty countries for over two decades, points out that Rwandan women did not seek the limelight or set out to build a movement; rather, they organized around common problems such as health care, housing, and poverty to serve the greater good. Their victories were usually in groups and wide ranging, addressing issues such as rape, equality in marriage, female entrepreneurship, reproductive rights, education for girls, and mental health. These women's accomplishments provide important lessons for policy makers and activists who are working toward equality elsewhere in Africa and other postconflict societies. Their stories, told in their own words via interviews woven throughout the book, demonstrate that the best way to reduce suffering and to prevent and end conflicts is to elevate the status of women throughout the world.

God in captivity : the rise of faith-based prison ministries in the age of mass incarceration / by Erzen, Tanya,author.(CARDINAL)790288;

Includes bibliographical references and index."It is by now well known that the United States incarceration rate is the highest in the world. What is not broadly understood is how cash-strapped and overcrowded state and federal prisons are increasingly relying on religious organizations to provide educational and mental health services and to help maintain order. And these religious organizations are overwhelmingly run by nondenominational Protestant Christians who see prisoners as captive audiences.Some twenty thousand of these Evangelical Christian volunteers now run educational programs in over three hundred US prisons, jails, and detention centers. Prison seminary programs are flourishing in states as diverse as Texas and Tennessee, California and Illinois, and almost half of the federal prisons operate or are developing faith-based residential programs. Tanya Erzen gained inside access to many of these programs, spending time with prisoners, wardens, and members of faith-based ministries in six states, at both male and female penitentiaries, to better understand both the nature of these ministries and their effects. What she discovered raises questions about how these ministries and the people who live in prison grapple with the meaning of punishment and redemption, as well as what legal and ethical issues emerge when conservative Christians are the main and sometimes only outside forces in a prison system that no longer offers even the pretense of rehabilitation. Yet Erzen also shows how prison ministries make undeniably positive impacts on the lives of many prisoners: men and women who have no hope of ever leaving prison can achieve personal growth, a sense of community, and a degree of liberation within the confines of their cells.With both empathy and a critical eye, God in Captivity grapples with the questions of how faith-based programs serve the punitive regime of the prison, becoming a method of control behind bars even as prisoners use them as a lifeline for self-transformation and dignity."-Amazon
