First Aid For The Happy Marriage

In his 35] years as a therapist and marriage counselor, Bryce Kaye has come to know that problems in marriages are not going to be overcome by a self help book, a Marriage For Idiots handbook, or a couple of episodes of Dr. Phil in the afternoon. His work, The Marriage First Aid Kit, is just what the title suggests, a temporary help for couples until more permanent care can be obtained. Dr. Kaye helps his audience work on issues resulting from communication avoidance by showing how to balance the conflicting needs of attachment and autonomy in a relationship. This vital balance is endangered not only by the obvious assassins abuse, affairs, and addictions, but also what Kaye terms hedonic inhibitions the inability by some partners to seek and enjoy fun in a couple's life together. Kaye employs everyday wisdom and therapeutic theory to show individuals in a relationship how to establish autonomy while affirming attachment, how to manage inevitable and healthy conflicts, and how to share power and responsibility throughout their marriage. Incorporating examples culled from his years of helping clients, Kaye peppers his book with problem scenarios to which readers can relate as well as with a useful variety of measurement tools and viable exercises to help couples through the common issues faced in intimate relationships. Rising above the plethora of quick-fix, relationship-help manuals, The Marriage First Aid Kit by Bryce Kaye, PhD offers professional, intelligent suggestions to couples to be employed, not as panaceas, but as temporary help while they work their way through the difficulties of life together.

After joining World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church, in Memphis, Tennessee, my wife and I were required to take thirteen "perfecting classes" for participation in any of the helps ministries. My eyes were literally opened to a whole new world of spiritual understanding after I completed these insightful course requirements. The myth and mystery of Christianity was replaced by wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the gospel that I could use to build and strengthen my faith. This book was born out of the information I received in these "perfecting classes." As I was studying for these classes, I took a lot of notes. I felt a strong desire to share my new-found wisdom with others, so I decided to transform the notes into this book. The word of God is the foundation of the Christian faith. The stronger the foundation, the more trials, tribulations, and temptations we can endure. Just like a diamond, true perfection is never achieved without tremendous heat and pressure. I realized that the problems I face were not a punishment from God, but rather, it was him allowing things to happen in order to perfect the faith that lives inside. The more we work on perfecting our faith, the closer we will get to becoming what God created us to be. Just like the "perfecting classes" were the spiritual first aid I need to heal my personal problems, I hope that you can find the same type of healing within the text of this writings as well. God has a divine plan for us all, but that plan requires us to be in good health spiritually in order to hear his voice of instruction which will help us fight the battles of world opposition to come. May God continue to pour his mercy upon you and let his holy word give you the "First Aid for the Spirit" that will sustain you forever.

Includes the Aerial Warfare In Europe During World War II illustrations pack with over 200 maps, plans, and photos. When historians ultimately write of the Battle of Britain they must turn for firsthand accounts to the men who fought off the Nazi air onslaught upon the heart of the British Empire. If the pitifully small number of British fighter squadrons had faltered, the outcome of the entire war might have been decided for the tragic worse in 1941. Who were the pilots who carried this burden? What manner of young men were they? What were their day-by-day and hour-by-hour duties and motives and feelings? Wing-Commander Ian Gleed, a young man in his early twenties, was one of the tiny band of flyers upon whom the responsibility for turning back the airborne invasion fell. His story is only incidentally one of heroism; it is far more a simple narrative of duty assumed and done with youthful enthusiasm and unconscious idealism.
