Have you just discovered that your baby has Down syndrome? Are you raising or helping to guide a loved one with Down syndrome? Do you want to gain insight into the challenges and gifts of disability? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is a must-read. When Jadene Sloan Ransdell welcomed her new baby to the family in the seventies, the diagnosis of Down syndrome came as a shock. In this honest and deeply personal book she takes you with her as she shares the hopeless future their pediatrician painted at the time of Matt's diagnosis, through the discovery of additional challenges, and the wonderful life he enjoys today as an aging adult with Down syndrome.

Book Description
As an internationally gifted speaker and author, David Bennett explains how God uses believers with the Gift of Mercy to benefit the Body of Christ. Using Biblical characters, great historical men of faith, and contemporary real-life people, David opens the heart and soul of Christians spiritually endowed with the Motivational Gift of Mercy. Beginning with Scripture, David defines and demonstrates the Gift of Mercy as it plays out in real life Christianity. Gleaning from the personal lives of past and present saints, David details how the believer with this Gift can be characterized, identified, motivated, and used in the Church of Jesus Christ today. David believes that for the body of Christ to function successfully each member must recognize his divine purpose and function for the health and growth of the body, and carry out his intended objectives and responsibilities in the power of the Spirit.

Book Description
In this fascinating book, author and leadership coach, Renée Giarrusso teaches us how to view challenging situations and people as 'gifts'; each is valuable for the lessons it teaches us. With the right mindset we can learn to embrace them and apply the lessons they present in our personal and professional lives. Most of us experience challenges, crises, sadness and triumphs and success at some point over the years. Life throws us curve-balls. Some are made of glass and hard to catch, some bounce off us and others seem to fall straight into our hands. The author calls these 'gifts'. How we catch (or drop) these gifts depends on our mindset, perspective, beliefs, experiences, values and so many other things. In this thought-provoking book, Renée teaches us how to adopt the Gift Mindset to learn from these life experiences and appreciate them as gifts.

Book Description
Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific research. We have developed many ways of coping with uncertainty. We make promises, manage risks and make predictions to try to clear the mists and predict ahead. But the future is inherently uncertain - and the mist that shrouds our path an inherent part of our journey. The burning question is whether our societies can face up to uncertainty, learn to embrace it and whether we can open up to a constantly evolving future. In this new book, Helga Nowotny shows how research can thrive at the cusp of uncertainty. Science, she argues, can eventually transform uncertainty into certainty, but into certainty which remains always provisional. Uncertainty is never completely static. It is constantly evolving. It encompasses geological time scales and, at the level of human experience, split-second changes as cells divide. Life and death decisions are taken in the blink of the eye, while human interactions with the natural environment may reveal their impact over millennia. Uncertainty is cunning. It appears at unexpected moments, it shuns the straight line, takes the oblique route and sometimes the unexpected short-cut. As we acknowledge the cunning of uncertainty, its threats retreat. We accept that any scientific inquiry must produce results that are provisional and uncertain. This message is vital for politicians and policy-makers: do not be tempted by small, short-term, controllable gains to the exclusion of uncertain, high-gain opportunities. Wide-ranging in its use of examples and enriched by the author’s experience as President of the European Research Council, one of the world’s leading funding organisations for fundamental research. The Cunning of Uncertainty is a must-read for students and scholars of all disciplines, politicians, policy-makers and anyone concerned with the fundamental role of knowledge and science in our societies today.
