Jo mere alsidige og righoldige fortællinger en person og en kultur har om sig selv og andre, jo flere handlemuligheder har de, og jo mere rummelige bliver de. Derfor denne bog om narrativ praksis i skolen.I Danmark har vi i de seneste fem-syv år set, hvordan en narrativ tilgang til arbejdet med børn, unge og familier er blevet udbredt i mange behandlingsmæssige og pædagogiske sammenhænge. Med denne bog er den narrative praksis nået til folkeskolen. Bogen er den anden i en serie af bøger, der beskriver den narrative tilgang i detaljer og med tilhørende metodiske og teoretiske overvejelser. Den første bog udkom i 2010 med titlen: Fra terapi til pædagogik – en brugsbog i narrativ praksis.Bogen er en samling af konkrete, velfunderede eksempler fra en genkendelig hverdag på narrativ praksis i skolen. Forfatterne viser, hvordan narrative perspektiver og metoder har inspireret og bidraget til meningsskabelse og (op)løsning af vanskeligheder og til skabelse af nye handlemuligheder og nye forståelser for elever, lærer og forældre. Herudover giver den læseren en grundforståelse af den narrative tænkning, dens teori og dens begreber.Narrativ praksis i skolen er redigeret af Anette Holmgren, leder af konsulentfirmaet DISPUK, og Martin Nevers, underviser hos DISPUK.

Living in Another Man's Shadow is not where we as Christian should be. The shadow is always the comfort zone and not a place of growth or goal achievement. Most people only want shade just for moments at a time, but living there is a totally different story. We as believers have to be careful that we don't get caught in living in a place of stagnation. It is time out for being people pleasers and doing things just to satisfied organizations. When are we as a people going to step out of the boat and follow the voice of the Lord. Nothing grows in stagnated waters nor can be produced. I know that the Lord has called us to come up to a higher standard of living and understanding. We will never get to that place in God if we continue to Live in the Shadow of Another Man.

The author grew up in a home of alcoholism, violence, and dysfunction; yet, had no idea this experience created its own evolving trauma.

A unique and vivid first hand account of a young soldier, one of the millions who fought in World War I. Walter Williams volunteered at age fifteen and after completing his initial training in Shrewsbury, passed through the notorious training camp at Etaples before being plunged into the horrors of trench warfare. He fought in some of the major battles of the war including Passchendaele, the Somme and Vimy Ridge - and was badly wounded during the final attack on the Hindenburg line in September 1918, when he was hit by machine-gun fire from an enemy plane. After spending some months in a French hospital in Dieppe, he was repatriated to England where he made a full recovery. Walter's story was captured on an ancient reel-to-reel tape recorder during long conversations with his two nephews, Michael and Derek, who went on to research and verify the events he described before producing this remarkable story. Walter died in 1998, by which time he was one of the last veterans of World War I.
