People the world over suffer from the inability to control their finances, their weight, their emotions, their craving for drugs, their sexual impulses, and more. The United States in particular is regarded by some observers as a society addicted to addiction. Therapy and support groups have proliferated not only for alcoholics and drug abusers but for all kinds of impulse control, from gambling to eating chocolate. Common to all of these disorders is a failure of self-regulation, otherwise known as "self-control.". The consequences of these self-control problems go beyond individuals to affect family members and society at large. In Losing Control, the authors provide a single reference source with comprehensive information on general patterns of self-regulation failure across contexts, research findings on specific self-control disorders, and commentary on the clinical and social aspects of self-regulation failure. Self-control is discussed in relation to what the "self" is, and the cognitive, motivational, and emotional factors that impinge on one's ability to control one's "self."

Boy bishops, Holy Innocents, child saints, martyrs and prophets, choirboys and choirgirls, orphans, charity-school children, Sunday-school children, privileged children, deprived, exploited and suffering children - all these feature in this exciting collection of over thirty original essays by a team of international scholars. The overall themes are the development of the idea of childhood and the experience of children within Christian society - the often ambiguous role of the child both as passive object of ecclesiastical concern and as active religious subject. The authors consider theological and liturgical issues and the social history of the family, as well as art history, literature and music. In its interdisciplinary scope the work reflects the manifold ways in which children have participated in the life of the Church over the centuries. The subjects under discussion range from the girls of fourth-century Rome to missionary activity in nineteenth-century India; from the unbaptized babies of Byzantium to the Salisbury choirgirls of the 1990s. Adopting a broad, ecumenical approach, the collection includes perspectives on Greeks, Latins, Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans and Dissenters.

"Godly play is play 'for the pleasure of playing itself'. Unconcerned with glory, fame, wealth, family, art, or science, it is not worklike. Godly play 'makes the player graceful so that God, the player, other players, and God's earth can all join in the game.' Berryman explores the need to be childlike that runs through the New Testament, an idea born out by modern behavioral discoveries. He examines such educational issues as worship; the uses of religious language, and reconceptualizing the meaning of 'lessons', and provides hands-on techniques for integrating laughter, playfulness, and structure." -- from cover.

This book is the understanding of ourselves, our physical world and how we should deal with both.
