Suffering and Hope: The Biblical Vision and the Human Predicament
by J. Christiaan BekerA scholarly exploration of the topic.
Suffering and the Intelligence of Love in the Teaching Life: In Light and In Darkness
by Sean Steel Amber HomeniukThis book shares insights drawn from the diverse voices of public school teachers, community outreach education workers, professors, writers, poets, artists, and musicians on suffering in school and the classroom. Teachers speak about their own encounters with and perceptions from suffering using critical-analytic textual works, as well as first-hand personally reflective accounts. By sharing their stories and reflections, the editors and contributors shed light upon the dark areas that often are not addressed in Teacher Training Programs, and that generally remain unaddressed and unacknowledged even as teachers become well-established as professionals in the field of education.
The Suffering Son of David in Matthew's Passion Narrative (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series #183)
by Nathan C. JohnsonIn this book, Nathan C. Johnson offers the first full-scale study of David traditions in the Gospel of Matthew's story of Jesus's death. He offers a solution to the tension between Matthew's assertion that Jesus is the Davidic messiah and his humiliating death. To convince readers of his claim that Jesus was the Davidic messiah, Matthew would have to bridge the gap between messianic status and disgraceful execution. Johnson's proposed solution to this conundrum is widely overlooked yet refreshingly simple. He shows how Matthew makes his case for Jesus as the Davidic messiah in the passion narrative by alluding to texts in which David, too, suffered. Matthew thereby participates in a common intertextual, Jewish approach to messianism. Indeed, by alluding to suffering David texts, Matthew attempts to turn the tables of the problem of a crucified messiah by portraying Jesus as the Davidic messiah not despite, but because of his suffering.
Suffolk University (The Campus History Series)
by David L. RobbinsSuffolk University grew from humble beginnings in the Roxbury parlor of Gleason L. Archer, a lawyer who had worked his way through high school and college. A chance meeting brought him together with a benefactor who loaned him money for his law school studies, asking only that Archer pass along the favor. By 1930, Archer had built Suffolk University into one of the largest law schools in the country. The College of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1934, and the Sawyer School of Management -- then known as the College of Business Administration -- was established in 1937. That same year, the three academic units were incorporated as Suffolk University. Suffolk University contains images that show the depths and breadth of this institution that has called Beacon Hill home for 100 years. Whether known as the Rams, the Ramblers, or the Royals, the Suffolk spirit shines through.
Sugarcane Academy: How a New Orleans Teacher and His Storm-Struck Students Created a School to Remember (Harvest Original Ser.)
by Michael TisserandHurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, taking lives and livelihoods and displacing thousands. Because the hurricane struck at the beginning of the school year, the city's children were among those most affected. Michael Tisserand, former editor of the alternative cultural newspaper Gambit Weekly, evacuated with his family to New Iberia, Louisiana. Then, rather than waiting to find out when-or if-schools in New Orleans would reopen, Tisserand and other parents persuaded one of his children's teachers, Paul Reynaud, to start a school among the sugarcane fields.So was born the Sugarcane Academy-as the children themselves named it-and so also began an experience none of Reynaud's pupils will ever forget. This inspiring book shows how a dedicated teacher made the best out of the worst situation, and how the children of New Orleans, of all backgrounds and races, adjusted to Katrina's consequences.

Suicide Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Strengths-Based Approach
by John Sommers-Flanagan Rita Sommers-FlanaganThis practical guide provides a holistic, wellness-oriented approach to understanding suicide and working effectively with clients who are suicidal. John and Rita Sommers-Flanagans’ culturally sensitive, seven-dimension model offers new ways to collaboratively integrate solution-focused and strengths-based strategies into clinical interactions and treatment planning with children, adolescents, and adults. Each chapter contains diverse case studies and key practitioner guidance points to deepen learning in addition to a wellness practice intervention to elevate mood. Personal and professional self-care and emotional preparation techniques are emphasized, as are ethical issues, counselor competencies, and clinically nuanced skill building. “This engaging book provides considerable insight into the dynamics around suicide, the emotional distress involved, and how counselors can best assist clients while also focusing on their own health and wellness. The Sommers-Flanagans’ strengths-based approach will allow practitioners to connect with their clients and offer understanding and hope when they are most needed.” —Kelly Duncan, PhD, LPC ACES Executive Director “I will read anything that the Drs. Sommers-Flanagan write. This book, however, is one where I took my time and savored each page. Why? Because suicide is emotionally charged, societally and individually taboo, scary, and near the top of the list of more common and feared client experiences. This book treats suicide assessment and treatment in an intelligent, thoughtful, and practical way for clients and clinicians. It humanizes suicidal ideation and, in doing so, helps the reader better understand how to truly care for those in distress.” —Matt Englar-Carlson, PhD California State University, Fullerton About the Authors John Sommers-Flanagan, PhD, is a professor of counseling at the University of Montana and the author or coauthor of more than 100 professional publications.

Suing Alma Mater: Higher Education and the Courts
by Michael A. OlivasThis careful reading of six legal cases in American higher education is an essential primer for understanding contemporary litigation.Winner of the Steven S. Goldberg Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Education Law of the Education Law AssociationAlthough much has been written about U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving higher education, little has been said about the foundational case law and litigation patterns emerging from the lower courts. As universities become increasingly legislated, regulated, and litigious, campuses have become testing grounds for a host of constitutional challenges. From faculty and student free speech to race- or religion-based admissions policies, Suing Alma Mater describes the key issues at play in higher education law.Eminent legal scholar Michael A. Olivas considers higher education litigation in the latter half of the twentieth century and the rise of "purposive organizations," like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Alliance Defense Fund (now known as the Alliance Defending Freedom), that exist to advance litigation. He reviews more than 120 college cases brought before the Supreme Court in the past fifty years and then discusses six key cases in depth. Suing Alma Mater provides a clear-eyed perspective on the legal issues facing higher education today.

Sukkelvallen: hoe u van lastige gewoonten af geraakt.
by Siegbert ScheuermannBoekbeschrijving. Dit boek houdt u een humoristische spiegel voor, waarmee u beter uw gewoonten en aangeboren gedragspatronen kan herkennen. Welke daarvan verminderen uw levenskwaliteit en hoe kan u hier van af geraken ? U wil bvb. regelmatig sporten, gewicht afvallen of ophouden met roken, maar uw brein verzint telkens weer redenen om ’s morgens toch wat langer te blijven liggen, dat kleine stukje chocolade als een uitzondering te beschouwen of uw carrière als niet-roker voor u uit te schuiven ? Ten laatste vanaf veertig zijn wij niet alleen voor ons gewicht, maar ook voor ons uiterlijk en onze houding verantwoordelijk. Gewoonten nestelen zich in ons denken, onze relaties, gezichtsuitdrukkingen en lichaamsvormen. De eerste stappen om zich te bevrijden : 1ste stap : een bestand opmaken in de zoo van onze “gewoontediertjes”. 2de stap : gewoonten en gedragspatronen analyseren. 3de stap : hoe vervangt u vervelende gewoonten in positieve ? Vaststellingen : Ons brein is dikwijls een uitstekende rechtvaardigingsmachine, zodat alles zijn vertrouwde “gang” kan gaan. We moeten niet proberen onze innerlijke demonen te verslaan maar hen eerder uitnodigen ten dans en met hen rondjes draaien. Bevrijd u van uw valstrikken, van naïviteit, incompetentie, onwetendheid, inconsequentie en schadelijke identificaties. Verheug u op uren leesplezier, zij zullen u ten goede komen ! De inhoud is ontstaan op basis van persoonlijke ervaringen en het houden van gedrags- en communicatietraining gedurende 25 jaar met duizenden deelnemers.
