Focus Groups in Social Research (Introducing Qualitative Methods series)

There is an increasing divergence of focus group practice between social researchers and commercial market researchers. This book addresses the key issues and practical requirements of the social researcher, namely: the kinds of social research issues for which focus groups are most and least suitable; optimum group size and composition; and the designing of focusing exercises, facilitation and appropriate analysis.  The authors use examples, drawn from their own focus groups research experience, and provide exercises for further study. They address the three main components of composition, conduct and analysis in focus group research and also acknowledge the increasing impact the Internet has had on social research by cover

When considering the tough challenges that families face today, one issue keeps coming to the surface all too often—finances. Statistics show that financial issues are consistently one of the top reasons listed for divorce in this nation. Determined at the outset of their marriage to turn those grim statistics around, one young couple heard biblical teaching on finances, took it to heart, and patterned their lives after what God has to say about handling money.Meet Michelle and Trevor Thomas as they tell their story of how God led them out from under a mountain of debt into financial freedom. In Debt-Free Living in a Debt-Filled World, they will tell you candidly how they paid off their debt, built their home without a mortgage, and have lived debt free since 1999, raising four children on a teacher's salary. Be encouraged in your own journey by what you read in theses pages. Whatever your situation may be, know that God has a plan for freedom for you, too. Financial freedom is within reach, so trust The Provider each step of the way.As families begin to dig out of debt and save for future needs, marriages are strengthened, children feel more secure, and communities become better places to live. God’s ways really are best. So, sit back and enjoy. You will laugh, you might cry, but you will surely be encouraged.
