Enfant terrible: Peut-on naître mauvais ? Oui.

Enfant terrible de Pier-Giorgio Tomatis Peut-on naître mauvais ? Oui. Enfant terrible Marina était vive, belle, intelligente, riche.

Enfoque del compromiso religioso y la orientación religiosa: entre los cristianos que se identifican como cristianos

EL COMPROMISO CON LA RELACIÓN DE ALIANZA CON CRISTO PUEDE AFECTARLE Este estudio consistió en explorar la relación entre el foco de compromiso religioso y la orientación religiosa desde el compromiso relacional con Cristo entre los cristianos que se identifican como cristianos. El objetivo era descubrir una relación entre el compromiso religioso dedicado (foco de) y la orientación religiosa intrínseca, entre los cristianos que se identifican como cristianos, con el fin de responder a la pregunta de investigación. Para ello, se examinaron las medidas de compromiso relacional y orientación religiosa mediante un análisis de correlación y una regresión lineal. Los resultados revelaron que existe una relación directa muy fuerte (r = 0,777) entre un enfoque de compromiso religioso dedicado con Cristo y la orientación religiosa intrínseca.

Enfrente a sus gigantes: Dios aún hace lo imposible

En Enfrente a sus gigantes, Max Lucado utiliza la historia de David para ayudarle a aprender a permitir que Dios trabaje con usted y para usted, y para recordarle para quién es usted y quién es en Él. Usted es visto, amado y cuidado por el Dios que todavía hace lo imposible.Usted conoce a su Goliat. Reconoce su andar, el trueno de su voz.Le burla con cuentas que no puede pagar, personas que no puede complacer, hábitos que no puede romper, fracasos que no puede olvidar y un futuro que no puede enfrentar. Pero al igual que David, usted puede enfrentarse a su gigante, incluso si no es el más fuerte, el más inteligente, el mejor equipado, de los más santos.Si usted se enfoca en los gigantes: tropezará; si se enfoca en Dios: sus gigantes caerán.Si está listo para enfrentar a sus gigantes, deje que su historia le inspire. El mismo Dios que lo ayudó a él, lo ayudará a usted.Facing Your GiantsIn Facing Your Giants, Max Lucado uses the story of David to help you learn how to allow God to work with and for you, and to remind you of who you are to and in Him. You are seen, loved, and cared for by the God who still does the impossible.You know your Goliath. You recognize his walk, the thunder of his voice.He taunts you with bills you can't pay, people you can't please, habits you can't break, failures you can't forget, and a future you can't face. But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, of the holiest.Focus on giants–you stumble; focus on God–your giants tumble.If you're ready to face your giants, let His story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.

The Engaged Historian: Perspectives on the Intersections of Politics, Activism and the Historical Profession (Making Sense of History #37)

On the surface, historical scholarship might seem thoroughly incompatible with political engagement: the ideal historian, many imagine, is a disinterested observer focused exclusively on the past. In truth, however, political action and historical research have been deeply intertwined for as long as the historical profession has existed. In this insightful collection, practicing historians analyze, reflect on, and share their experiences of this complex relationship. From the influence of historical scholarship on world political leaders to the present-day participation of researchers in post-conflict societies and the Occupy movement, these studies afford distinctive, humane, and stimulating views on historical practice and practitioners

Engaged Research and Practice: Higher Education and the Pursuit of the Public Good

What practices can researchers use to gain a more nuanced understanding of educational issues in the community and be part of the solution to those issues?Engaged Research and Practice is about two prevailing and complementary ideas that have surfaced in the higher education arena: engaged research and higher education for the public good. Engaged research is scholarship that not only attempts to open up new knowledge, but it does so with a sense that the new knowledge, insight and directions have a direct relationship to needs and problems within our communities, institutions, and policy arenas. Engaged, actionable, or participatory research and scholarship attempts to tackle the identified issues of our communities and society. This handbook offers important insights and tangible examples of how higher education leaders may work directly with communities and in policy settings to understand the deeper meanings often lost in conversations about educational opportunity. Each chapter addresses the ways in which faculty, community and administrative leaders may connect research and practice through unique research projects. The authors offer clear explanations of "how" their engaged research was conducted to illustrate explicit pathways for practitioners. This book also includes short narratives where authors involved with this research reflect on their experiences and the lessons they have learned while immersed in community and policy related work.

The Engaged Scholar: Expanding the Impact of Academic Research in Today’s World

Society and democracy are ever threatened by the fall of fact. Rigorous analysis of facts, the hard boundary between truth and opinion, and fidelity to reputable sources of factual information are all in alarming decline. A 2018 report published by the RAND Corporation labeled this problem "truth decay" and Andrew J. Hoffman lays the challenge of fixing it at the door of the academy. But, as he points out, academia is prevented from carrying this out due to its own existential crisis—a crisis of relevance. Scholarship rarely moves very far beyond the walls of the academy and is certainly not accessing the primarily civic spaces it needs to reach in order to mitigate truth corruption. In this brief but compelling book, Hoffman draws upon existing literature and personal experience to bring attention to the problem of academic insularity—where it comes from and where, if left to grow unchecked, it will go—and argues for the emergence of a more publicly and politically engaged scholar. This book is a call to make that path toward public engagement more acceptable and legitimate for those who do it; to enlarge the tent to be inclusive of multiple ways that one enacts the role of academic scholar in today's world.

The Engaged University: International Perspectives on Civic Engagement (International Studies in Higher Education)

The Engaged University is a comprehensive empirical account of the global civic engagement movement in higher education. In universities around the world, something extraordinary is underway. Mobilizing their human and intellectual resources, institutions of higher education are directly tackling community problems – combating poverty, improving public health, and restoring environmental quality. This book documents and analyzes this exciting trend through studies of civic engagement and social responsibility at twenty institutions worldwide. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: a historical overview of the founding purposes of universities, which almost invariably included a context-specific element of social purpose, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policy and practice of universities – all over the world – seeking to re-engage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university."
