They say you can't judge a book by its cover—but its title can tell you more than you ever needed to know! Amazing, illuminating, and gut-bustingly funny, Bizarre Books is the wonderfully twisted product of more than two decades of determined searching in forgotten corners of out-of-the-way libraries and through the literary detritus of eclectic private collections. It is certain to delight every true fan of trivia and the patently absurd.

The Challenge of Attachment for Caregiving describes a theoretical model for the development of caregiving that complements and also extends attachment theory. The model highlights the conditions under which adult caregivers can remain in a state of arrested development, impairing their own ability to give care and resulting in attachment problems for those who seek care from them. It shows how insecure attachment in childhood and adolescence impedes the development of caregiving and how, in times of crisis, even securely attached individuals need appropriate support in order to sustain their capacity to give effective care.Constructing a systemic model of the self, the authors place the instinctive systems fr caregiving and careseeking (attachment) within a theory that relates them to other systems of the self, such as the systems for sharing interests, sexuality and for self-defence. The model describes the interplay between these goal-corrected behavioural systems. Because it includes the defensive mechanisms and strategies which an individual values most, it is particularly helpful to the therapist in understanding the interpersonal processes between people who are seeking to influence each other's behaviour. It is presented in a form that enables the therapist to formulate hyptheses about at client's predicament and their way of relating to the therapist and then explore and test these hypotheses in the course of therapy.Drawing on many years' experience as clinicians and researchers, Dorothy Heard and Brian Lake explore in depth an aspect of human development which has profound implications for our future survival. Presenting its own challenge to both theory and practice, this book offers students and practitioners a new perspective on attachment.

Romancing the King is a description of God’s yearning for relationship and intimacy with you. Like Esther in the Bible, you are permitted to enter the King’s presence because you have been invited—the King desires you.

To gain access to the splendor of His Kingdom, you must establish a relationship with the King. Romancing the King shows you how to enter His presence. You will explore: <ul>
<li>God’s glory through friendship and fellowship.</li> <li>The nature and character of God.</li> <li>Practical steps about how to spend time with Him.</li> <li>Your purpose and destiny.</li> <li>The intimate details necessary to enter the deepest level of worship.</li> </ul>
You will be drawn into a divine romance with the King of the universe as you examine the disciplines of fasting, prayer, worship and praise, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit—all working together to deepen the romance between you and your God. Each chapter concludes with several Points to Ponder, giving you the opportunity to experience fully all of God’s peace and love as you Romance the King!
