Much has changed since Carlson and Sperry's book The Intimate Couple was published nearly a decade ago. In that volume, the editors highlighted clinically relevant theory, research and practice strategies for assisting couples in developing intimacy, which at the time was framed quite narrowly. Recovering Intimacy in Love Relationships reflects the emerging view of intimacy as a multifaceted entity and the increasingly complex context in which the cycle of intimacy develops, wanes, and recovers. While the previous book had a single chapter focused on cultural aspects of intimacy and one on gender, this new version responds to the diversity considerations in intimacy and provides an entire section on cultural, gender and religious issues. Finally, the current atmosphere of accountability favors clinical practice that is evidence-based. Accordingly, this book provides clinicians with the best available evidence based-practice guidelines so that they may assist their clients in restoring and recovering intimacy.

Looking for a better, more effective way, to resolve conflict, have more meaningful conversations and build relationships? This is it! We humans spend a lot of time talking, and with cell phones and the internet our daily contacts with each other have exploded. Yet we rarely pay attention to how we communicate, and all this talk has not improved our relationships. Many of us don't know how to share our feelings and needs without blame, or hear about another person s experience without judgment. And often we leave a conversation without a deeper sense of understanding or connection. Conscious Communication offers a new approach which leads to greater understanding instead of further division. Practical skills and basic relationship tools enable us to stay connected while recognizing our differences, and see other people as allies instead of adversaries. As we let go of our impulse to be ''right,'' and focus instead on what we need to be happy, we see how joining with other people can dissolve our isolation and provide a real sense of belonging and security.
Hiring the Heavens offers a roadmap to transforming one's life by tapping the divine. In this book, Jean Slatter turns abstract expressions, such as "God is within you" and "ask and you shall receive," into something more concrete, more immediate, and real. She suggests readers recognize themselves as part of the divine plan of creation and teaches them to simply believe that the "angels for hire" can help them solve problems, both small ("jewel sleuth" to find missing pearls or "spiritual connoisseur" to find a great restaurant) and large ("romance committee" or "spiritual employment counselor"). While written in a lighthearted style, the book is based on the serious concept that everyone is part of "God" and that, like parents, God expects everyone at some point to grow up spiritually and take charge, and that the heavens will support the process if called upon. Using personal stories and real-world examples, Slatter shows how she transformed her life by "hiring the heavens" - and how others can, too.
Time and Eternity deals with difficult issues in modern physics and brings them into relation with traditional theological doctrines. Craig has done a great work, and it is marvelous that now the philosophy of religion is engaging with the philosophy of science to the great benefit of both.--John R. LucasFellow of Merton College, Oxford University Time and Eternity offers a comprehensive discussion of the problems in the concepts of time and eternity on the basis of an extraordinary familiarity with a vast number of recent contributions to this issue from scientists and philosophers. The argument is subtle and precise. Particularly important are the sections on the impact of the different versions of relativity theory on the concept of time.... The book offers a plausible argument for a realistic conception of temporal process and for God's involvement in the temporal distinctions and processes because of His presence in His creation.--Wolfhart PannenbergProfessor of Systematic TheologyLudwig Maximilliens Universitaet-Muenchen, Germany As a scientist doing theoretical research in gravitational physics and quantum cosmology, I found Dr. Craig's thoughtful book highly interesting. He has carefully given arguments defending several different viewpoints for each of the many issues about time that he discusses, followed by critiques in which he emphasizes his own opinion. Reading Time and Eternity has forced me to develop better arguments for my own opinions (which differ considerably from Craig's).... I am certain that Time and Eternity will also stimulate your thinking about this fascinating subject and your appreciation for the God who created time as part of the marvelous universe He has given us.--Don N. PageProfessor of Physics and Fellow of the Cosmology and Gravitation Program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced ResearchUniversity of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada William Lane Craig is one the leading philosophers of religion and one of the leading philosophers of time. In this book, he combines his expertise in these areas to produce an original, erudite, and accessible theory of time and God that will be of great interest to both the general public and scholars. It is a rewarding experience to read through this brilliant and well-researched book by one of the most learned and creative thinkers of our era.--Quentin SmithProfessor of Philosophy, Western Michigan University In Time and Eternity, William Lane Craig defends the remarkable conclusion that "God is timeless without creation and temporal since creation." Craig argues his case philosophically by carefully weighing evidence for and against divine temporality and personhood in light of dynamic versus static theories of time and their warrants, in turn, in a Lorentzian interpretation of special relativity and an objective, mind-independent theory of becoming, including fascinating excursions into Big Bang cosmology and the philosophy of mathematics. As the latest in his series of ground-breaking books, Time and Eternity summarizes and extends Craig's previous technical arguments and conveys them to a more general audience. It is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in the problem of time and eternity in Christian philosophy.--Robert RussellProfessor of Theology and ScienceGraduate Theological Union, Berkeley, Calif. The nature of time is a continuing source of puzzlement both to science and in everyday life. It is also an important issue in theological understandings of the nature of God. In this interesting book, Professor Craig tackles this complex set of topics in a clear way. His discussion of the interrelated scientific, philosophical, and theological issues clears up many previous misconceptions and proposes a plausible understanding of the relation of God to time and eternity that many will find helpful.--George EllisProfessor of Mathematics and Applied MathematicsUniversity of Capetown

In her bestseller Life Colors, psychic Pamala Oslie explained that auras contain important clues to personality traits. In her new book, she shows how these remarkable energy fields can help readers find the perfect soul mate. Using simple self-tests, readers first discover their aura’s color and the colors of a potential life partner. The book provides honest descriptions of each aura, explaining both a color's advantages and its deepest flaws. After readers define what they’re looking for in a relationship, the book helps them understand what type of person best suits them. It then suggests ways to meet and attract their perfect color match, or to improve an existing relationship. With this new insight, readers become more accepting of themselves and others, learn effective methods for changing unwanted behaviors, and discover new paths to healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships.
Christians are called to be servants, caring for the needs of other people. But when these caregivers begin to forfeit their own God–given calling and identity in an unhealthy desire to please others, they move from servanthood to codependency. How can they get back on track? Readers will resonate with the real–life illustrations of people who no longer know what they think, want, or feel because they have unwittingly allowed other voices of other people to drown out the voice of God. Suggestions for redirecting unhealthy relationships will empower readers to rediscover their own value and personal contribution. Applications to the home, to work settings, and to the church will help them become more effective servants of God.
