In this passionate philosophical memoir, Kimerer LaMothe unfolds an earth-friendly vision of what love can be. Moving to a farm after years spent teaching and writing at Harvard University, LaMothe faces new challenges in her relationships with her parents, her partner, and their children. In her struggle to respond she comes to a radical conclusion: we humans are nothing more or less than an impulse to connect, born to love, but not born knowing how. In vivid accounts of family life, LaMothe reveals how moving our bodily selves in the natural world can foster the sensory awareness we need to cultivate life-affirming connections with those who enable us to be.

Book Description
How do you plant a church that is family-integrated? How do you start a work that will keep the focus on God and His glory without dividing up the family at the front door? Where do you start if all you have is a deep desire and a tug at your heart and a confidence that God is calling you to do something different and new...and scary?

Planting a Family-Integrated Church picks up where J. Mark Fox's first book, Family-Integrated Church left off, and gives you a workbook for change...everything from finding others with the same vision, to training elders, to choosing a name and a location, to keeping the Great Commission, to getting the word out, to dealing with buildings and bank accounts. May God get the glory as He builds His church! J. Mark Fox is the pastor of Antioch Community Church and has taught communications classes at Elon University for 17 years. He writes a weekly column for the Times-News of Burlington, NC, which has won three Amy Awards, a national recognition for "thought-provoking, skillful presentation of biblical truth, reinforced with scripture in a mainstream, non-religious publication."

Increasing Planting Stock Size by Family Selection in California Ponderosa Pine
Author: James L. Jenkinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ponderosa pine
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Wind-pollinated families from four geographic areas in the northern Sierra Nevada were tested in the nursery. For every area, the native families differed significantly from each other in 1-year seedling height, and in 2-year height, diameter, and stem volume. Family growth was poorly correlated with family seed weight; it was independent of germination speed and seed parent stem volume. The size of planting stock can be improved and small-grade seedling production decreased by eliminating from future collections seed trees whose families show poor growth in the nursery.
