Friedman Generation to generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue. New York: Guilford, 1985. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCURA VITAE is a theology of life and of healing from the perspective of Christian spirituality. It aims to encourage a paradigm shift in pastoral care by enabling caregivers to understand and deal with the existential issues raised by the crisis of illness. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that without the necessary equipment and preparation, illness is easily experienced as an unbearable burden. This in turn deeply affects the patient's coping ability and potential for healing. However, where there is adequate existential understanding and the appropriate development of skills to deal with illness, it may be an opportunity for growth in life and faith. Central to these skills is the patient's framework of meaning, perception of life and understanding of God.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCURA VITAE is a comprehensive and magisterial work, the fruit of much study, research and experience. It provides a serious and challenging theological perspective on a range on issues relating to illness, death and healing. It is also a practical guide for caregivers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author deals with major issues such as sickness and health in an African context, HIV\/AIDS, cancer and heart disease. He also provides an extensive and up to date bibliography for further reading and research. \u003cbr\u003eCURA VITAE is a powerful tool for ministers and other pastoral workers. It also provides vital reading on the existential issues raised by illness, death and healing for all healthcare professionals. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Dani%C3%ABl+Louw\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDaniël Louw\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Daniël Louw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375517221027,"sku":"9780796306470","price":875.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780796306470_928f2c7e-8a3a-4864-977e-2c4a2de067da.jpg?v=1776499454"},{"product_id":"9780620585538","title":"His call, my all","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s Hennie Keyter was an angry young man, fresh out of military service for the apartheid government of South Africa, unsure of his path in life and deeply uneasy about his faith. When God revealed to him that He had a purpose for him and a calling on his life, at first Hennie was not ready to hear it. When he finally accepted and understood his mission, a flame was lit in his heart that nothing could have extinguished. But nothing could have prepared him either for the extraordinary spiritual journey he was about to embark on which would take him wherever God wanted him to go: from Malawi, 'the warm heart of Africa', to Mozambique at the height of its civil war, where he was sentenced to death and faced a firing squad, from a less than welcoming beginning in Zanzibar, to the United Nations base at Lokichokio on the border between Kenya and Sudan (where on one trip he discovered that he had a price of US 10 000 on his head). Desiring only to do the will of God and to spread the Gospel, Hennie took up the challenge of taking the Gospel to many of the countries on the African continent and in the Middle East, building up leaders and planting churches in poverty stricken areas, lands devastated by years of conflict and deprivation, and war zones where soldiers seemed to have lost everything, even hope. Through the bushfire of mass evangelism and his dedicated teams of volunteers, supported by the love and faith of his wife Rita and his children Anton and Mari, in His Call, My All: An African Drumbeat - A Missionary's Heartbeat Hennie Keyter looks back at his life in the service of the Lord and forward to continuing His work for as long as God requires it of him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Hennie+Keyter\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHennie Keyter\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hennie Keyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378230050979,"sku":"9780620585538","price":140.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780620585538_269ac4d1-cc09-473a-9be7-bf9258e3247c.jpg?v=1776476854"},{"product_id":"9780007461219","title":"Mere Christianity","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, 'Mere Christianity' has sold millions of copies worldwide.\u003cbr\u003eThe book brings together C.S.

All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+John+Burke\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohn Burke\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Burke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381452259491,"sku":"9780801015267","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780801015267_fde082b8-f8a3-4022-8cb7-e6e1866e70d2.jpg?v=1776515757"},{"product_id":"722301515518","title":"Church Notes Journal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perfect church companion to help you record and reflect on each week's sermon.
