The work that you are holding in your hands now is the result of a human life full of drama, mysticism and experiences that may seem certainly contradictory for those who are far away from God. In these pages you will find a human life intertwined in the most serious errors and dangers resulting from an existence that lacked spiritual awareness and was flooded with the mundane ambitions of a heart that always wanted to do good and was able do so only after great effort. You will also find the fruit of the authors encounter with his Creator; in it, Gods mercy and forgiveness rescued a wasted life from the ashes of sin and transformed it into bread of evangelization for the whole world. You will also be able to appreciate the Gospel telling us as how God takes the fool to embarrass the sage. Marino Restrepo never studied theology, neither was he educated in the religious sciences. However, during his life as a missionary, he has made possible for theology academicians and high-level ecclesiastic scholars to hear the simplicity of a Gospel infused in the authors heart by the Holy Spirit. You are kindly invited to navigate through the paths of Gods miracle.

#1 New York Times BestsellerIn Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its endingMedicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit. Nursing homes, preoccupied with safety, pin patients into railed beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering.Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mortal asserts that medicine can comfort and enhance our experience even to the end, providing not only a good life but also a good end.

I Danmark har børn fra eliten fem gange større chance for at få en mellemlang- eller lang videregående uddannelse sammenlignet med børn fra underklassen. På den måde vrides Danmark stadigt skævere, socialt set. Skal sammenhængskraften i det danske samfund bevares, og skal vi fortsat have et velfærdssamfund, er det næppe hensigtsmæssigt at øge den sociale ulighed, sådan som det sker i disse år. Og når det gælder valg af uddannelse og chance for at gennemføre en uddannelse uanset dens længde, har både skolen og uddannelsesinstitutionerne en opgave. Den opgave fordrer nogle aktive tilvalg fra skolens og institutionernes side i form af pædagogisk og didaktisk udvikling af indhold og metoder og udvikling af tilgange til elever og skolekultur. Det er på baggrund at Freedom Writer-pædagogikkens narrative metode byder sig til og kan noget. Tankegangen kan illustreres som følger: 1) Vi lever i nutiden. 2) Vi er historieskabte, dvs. vi har rod i fortiden. 3) Vi er historieskabende, dvs. bestemmende for fremtiden. Målet er at synliggøre dette. Narrativet er vejen til denne synliggørelse – helt konkret i form af biografiske fortællinger. Denne bog illustrerer nogle af de metoder, der kan tage si anvendelse for at fremme den individuelle fortælling – der kan medvirke til at gøre skolens tilbud nærværende, relevant og motiverende selv for den skolefremmede elev.
