      Dropping Out: Why Students Drop Out of High School and What Can Be Done about It

      By
      No Customer Reviews
      Most kids in the developed world finish high school--but not in the United States. More than a million drop out every year, and the numbers are rising. Dropping Out provides answers to fundamental questions: Who drops out, and why? What happens to them when they do? How can we prevent at-risk kids from short-circuiting their futures?

      What is a healer?

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      The Art of being a Healing Presence "...what a healer is. It's someone, who can see your movement toward wholeness more clearly than you're able to yourself at a given point in time." This is a simple and easy to understand description of how to create healing space and provide a healing presence. It is a beautiful book in its simplicity. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to be a helpful presence. Mike

      great read

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This book is a great read for those in a care giving role, whether personally or professionally. It is very easy reading, and hits home. It is a very simple technique, you are probably already engaged in some of the tasks it takes to be a healing presence, but may not realize it.

      Wonderful!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Amazing, easy to read, offering instructions on how to become healing presence for others. I was drawn to this book after being given the gift of healing presence by a hospital Chaplain after losing a baby. This is the real macoy!
