Book SynopsisThis new textbook provides a clear, informative and rigorous guide for students taking Religious Studies GCSE with all the major exam boards. It covers the philosophy and ethics content of the key GCSE specifications and examines these themes from the perspectives of Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Islam. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on the scriptural basis of each religious view and on other sources of authority in each religious tradition. The development of core ethical and doctrinal questions is explored, and key thinkers and theologians are introduced to give a sound understanding of complex issues. Chapter by chapter, the book covers such topics as religious texts and sources of authority; the existence and nature of God; revelation and religious experience; the problem of evil; science and religion; death and life after death; human nature and personal relationships; human rights, conflict and crime; and global issues. There is also a dedicated chapter on study skills and exam techniques, and each chapter includes student-friendly features such as revision summaries, questions and activities. While the book has been designed with the new GCSE specifications and reforms in mind, it encourages students to see the full significance of these issues by going beyond the narrow confines of their own specification. As such, Religious Studies for GCSE will be the ideal companion for investigating this rich and fascinating area of human life.Trade Review"This authoritative textbook is comprehensive in its coverage of all the GCSE philosophy and ethics material from the major exam boards. Packed full of case studies, diverse references and fascinating ideas, it is an essential reference book for GCSE students and teachers. It guides students through complex issues which will grab attention, spark interest and give them everything they need for the philosophical and ethical sections of their Religious Studies GCSE.

Book SynopsisHelp children cultivate a practice of gratitude and a sense of wonder for the world around them with GOODNESS GRACIOUS. Meaningful, sweet and sometimes downright silly, Kathleen A. Green's "thankful thoughts," her child-friendly term for expressions of gratitude, help children say thank you for all aspects of their lives, from the earth and their families to their pets, teachers and even mac and cheese!Trade Review“Goodness Gracious provides an excellent resource for teachers and parents who want to cultivate gratitude in small children and help them to verbalize wonder and appreciation for the natural world and for humanity. This collection of short songs, chants, and poems could resonate for small children of any religion or religions, or who are spiritual, or humanist, or any combination of those identities.” —Susan Katz Miller, author of The Interfaith Family Journal and Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family “What a collection! There’s a prayer or grace for every occasion here, from giving thanks for pets and teachers to releasing fear about the ‘monster’ under the bed. I’m impressed by how gracefully these prayers address situations that are important to children—grandma moving away, feeling connected to the earth—yet are underrepresented in traditional collections. The prayers are in simple, vivid language to help children of all ages explore big feelings and connect those feelings to values like gratitude and wonder. And I’m delighted that many of these prayers can be sung to familiar tunes! I can imagine a child and parent singing a prayer together, day after day, as the song helps the prayer root into memory.” —Rev. Erika Hewitt, author of Story, Song and Spirit: Fun and Creative Worship Services for All Ages
