This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.” “May the living light inside you be the compass as you go / May you always know you have my hand to hold.” With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.

Book Description
"This report documents the selling by traffickers of women and girls from Kachin and northern Shan States into sexual slavery in China. Trafficking survivors said that trusted people, including family members, promised them jobs in China, but instead sold them for the equivalent of US$3,000 to $13,000 to Chinese families. In China, they were typically locked in a room and raped so they would become pregnant."--Publisher website.

Its nations are spread over the Pacific Ocean and segregated by the waters. Its lands gave birth to almost all world religions, and lead to the creation of a multitude cultures with splendid spiritual and material recourses. It is a continent containing countries who have commonly experienced colonization, poverty, and threats from hegemonic neighbors as well as coercion by world empires. Asian people are religious people, and they have been shaped by different religions to become peace–loving peoples despite having had very little time to truly enjoy authentic peace along their histories. Recent political and military experts have predicted that Asia, particularly Eastern Asia (Korean Peninsula, Taiwan strait, and the Southern Sea area), is the likely hot zone for military conflicts that may indeed become the spark that ignites the third world war. The United States has announced deployment of two thirds of its naval forces to this area to counter potential threats from China’s hegemonic ambitions and activities. Thus dreaming peace for Asian people is not simply a theoretical consideration, but a concrete life–and–death reality. Yet, how do we realize that dream and how to dream it from different religious and theological perspectives are urgent issues to be dealt with. The contents of this collection are papers borne out of the hard labors of many theological scholars from over thirteen Asian countries and beyond which were presented at our international theological conference on December 10-11, 2020. The actual participants stretch over many more countries. It was a hybrid virtual conference held via Internet on site at the campus of Chang Jung Christian University, Taiwan. It was held cooperatively by 5 Asian theological movements and institutions: Asian Forum for Theological Movement (AFTM), Programme for Theology and Cultures in Asia (PTCA), Asian Theological Academy (ATA), Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU), and Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan (ACTT). It was an unprecedented theological event that joined so many organizations as hosts, and attracted scholars from diverse background and so many countries. I am deeply thankful to the leadership of all these organizations for their support and cooperation. The hybrid style of online and on–site virtual conferencing may be considered a peculiar contribution of the Covid Virus pandemic. It certainly will be a new normal to be practiced continually even after the virus pandemic is over. Besides all these, the product of this book is a contribution and salute of ACTT to all those churches and Christian fellows in Asia who have done tremendous efforts to materialize the Shalom dream to our people and our land. Glory be to God. Huang Po Ho Director, Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan March 10, 2021

Book Description
"Disability is an indispensable tool for human service practitioners in understanding disability from an empowerment perspective. The authors address policy, theory, description, and practice, stressing the difference of disability rather than the dysfunction of disability. The text is illustrated with in-depth personal narratives by those living with disability and thought-provoking sidebars that ask readers to consider the implications of their own reactions to disability. Mackelprang and Salsgiver establish the historical and societal context in which those with disabilities are marginalized, discuss the major groupings of disabilities, and, finally, offer a model for assessment and practice that human service practitioners can adopt. The book develops a contemporary perspective in which people with disabilities are considered valuable and contributing members of society. Using this book, students will find not only a prescription for professional assessment and practice, but also the necessary understanding of common issues those with disabilities face, the social contexts in which they live, and the tools to work with people with disabilities as equals and partners"--
