 Free Download Women in the Middle East and North Africa: Restoring Women to History By Guity Nashat; Judith E. Tucker 1999 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0253334780 | PDF | 4 MB Tracing the evolution of the role of women from ancient Middle Eastern societies through the 17th century, Guity Nashat employs a rational-choice theoretical framework, examining the interplay between local practices and early Islamic beliefs and institutions. As Islam expanded throughout the area, the foundations of Islamic law and practice with regard to women underwent significant development. Judith Tucker surveys women's gender issues in the 19th- and 20th-century Middle East, with a particular focus on economic activity, access to political power, and contributions to cultural life. Her essay also addresses the role that Islam and indigenous custom are thought to play in shaping women's lives.  Free Download Margaret J. Weber, "Women in Leadership and Work-Family Integration" English | ISBN: 1443871931 | 2015 | 165 pages | PDF | 651 KB The majority of university students in the US and around the world are women (Economist, 2006). This recent increase in the education of women has allowed their employment rate to inflate, leading to an influx of issues surrounding the work-life balance. The era surrounding World War II led to an amplified presence of women seeking opportunities for a career, which in turn led to tensions at home and in the workplace as women try to balance the roles of family with a career. Many women have joined men in the provider role and the dual earner family has now become the norm (Gornick and Myers 2003). Traditional roles have shifted as women and men are both parents and workers. The picture of the career women and mother is divided and multi-faceted in existing research findings and opinions. Commonly assessed issues include the social implications of the dual roles of females, cultural norms, workplace policies with attention to female-specific hurdles, and marital satisfaction in gender roles. Various research studies suggest that marital relationships have become more egalitarian (Bielenski and Wagner, 2004), while others find that a large number of well-educated women have left careers for full-time motherhood (Belkin, 2003; Warner, 2005). In 2009, a research group was formed at Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology to explore the competing narratives of women's lives as they balance their work activities with the demands of marriage and motherhood. The ultimate goal of this project was to understand the work-life balance issues of women in the workforce. This work is now known as the Digital Women's Project (Weber, 2011) and has collected over 400 interviews of women to explore themes around work-life balance. This phenomenological analysis utilizes a narrative life-course framework created by Giele (2008) to explore identity, relational style, drive and motivation, and adaptive style in order to understand the work-life balance of women. Women in Leadership and Work-Family Integration brings together the findings of this research group.  Free Download With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God By Skye Jethani 2011 | 222 Pages | ISBN: 1595553630 | EPUB | 1 MB Stop Living Your Life Under, Over, From and For God and Start Living in Communion With Him.Endorsements:If we've grown weary of Christianity, ifwe find most any local church uninspiring, maybe the problem lies not in the Christianfaith or these faithful bodies, but in our own disgruntled hearts. InWith, Syke Jethani tenderlyunmasksthe clichédposturing that too often masquerades as genuine communion with Christ. More importantly, he takes readers to the humble place they must occupy?in prayer,studying Scripture,with the Church?if faith, hope, and love are to truly mark our lives.-James H. Gilmore, author,The Experience EconomyMade of the stuff of spiritual classics and presented in simple, contemporary terms, Skye Jethani does each of us a great service in calling us to reimagine the way we relate to God. We so readily fall prey to living out distortions and reductions to our Christian faith?with disastrous consequences. You and I are far more than sinners, consumers, managers, and servants. We are dearly loved by God and made for eternal communion with him. Everything looks different when we live life in response to God's love.-Paul Louis Metzger, Ph.D., Professor of Christian Theology & Theology of Culture, Multnomah Biblical Seminary and author ofThe Gospel of John: When Love Comes to TownCleverly using four prepositions-under, over, from, andfor, Skye Jethani convincingly diagnoses the reigning paradigms of life?whether secular or religious-and shows how each one has captured some element of truth but in the end is deficient; Ultimately, they miss the most important thing-real communion with the living God. Thus utilizing one final preposition,With, he lays out what it really means to know and experience communionwithGod-a life of faith, hope and love?the very things that we all desperately want and need. This is a helpful, encouraging, and inspiring book.-Jim Belcher, author ofDeep ChurchIt doesn't matter, as old theologians were rumored to argue, how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But it does matter which preposition governs your faith?over, after, against, for, from, under, with. Who knew what huge worlds turn on such tiny words? Who knew what theological riches were laced into the bones of grammar? Skye has done a great service to the church. In prose elegant and clear, with insights keen and deep, he shows how everything changes with just one word: With. It's a book I want my whole church to read.-Mark Buchanan, author ofSpiritual RhythmWho knew that a preposition had so much influence? Skye's book will challenge the way that you think about God and faith digging deep into our motivations and heart issues. You can't read this book and not see yourself and others differently!-Margaret Feinberg, author ofScouting the Divine and Hungry for God  Free Download Valerie Neff Hogan, "Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More" English | 2022 | ISBN: 0802424260 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 3.7 mb A book by women, for women, about money management.

Free Download Raymond Angelo Belliotti, "Why Philosophy Matters: 20 Lessons on Living Large" English | ISBN: 1443876437 | 2015 | 230 pages | PDF | 874 KB This book demonstrates that philosophy matters to everyday living and that people who ignore the enduring, fundamental questions of life thereby unwittingly relinquish part of their humanity. The question How should I live my life? along with cosmological inquiries about the nature of the world, animated Western philosophy during its earliest recorded years. Given that belief in the Greek and Roman gods failed to provide substantive guidelines for everyday living, philosophy arose in large measure as practical instruction in the art of living the good human life. Throughout history, philosophers have provided vastly different answers to the question of what constitutes such a life. By analyzing carefully their disparate definitions, recipes, and accounts of the good human life we can understand better who we are and who we might be. This work examines the answers provided by over thirty philosophers to aspects of building character, forging personal relations, promoting sound political strategies, living meaningfully, and dying gracefully. In so doing, over twenty lessons for living a worthy life emerge.
