I'm a youthful 40-something (I love self delusion). I've enjoyed writing since I was a child. When I was in junior school I knew I could write better stories than Jane and Peter. Of course life decides it has other plans so my writing became something just for me.After several relationships and a marriage I saw a leaflet in Bolton library about a writing group. I started going to that one and realised that everything people say about joining writing groups was true and when this one stopped I started going to another. Through feedback I refined my style and even managed to get a couple published in anthologies. I've been told I have a particular style but I don't know if that's good or bad.Did I also mention that I am the Master of the Universe.

The cover picture and the title go hand in hand. The person who goes out and casts seed has in him the hope that the kingdom of God will be expanded. He possesses at minimum, faith the size of a mustard seed.He believes that the all-powerful God whom he serves will release His power in what the picture portrays. The servant of God cast the seed, not knowing but believing that the purposes of God will become evident. Why? Because faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).So in his labors, some seed finds residence in a hard and dark heart of stone. God is working His miracle of regeneration or drawing that hard-hearted individual to Himself. The seed of the eternal Word is cracking and breaking up the hard heart.Sometimes, the person of faith observes something happening. He witnesses what was once a hard and depraved heart is now being softened toward God. If he is involved in up-close evangelism, he is blessed to witness the spiritual miracle of salvation as depicted in the picture as becoming a heart of flesh. That once-hard-hearted person is now able to move in God''s direction rather than continuing in his own depraved way.The eternal seed that has been implanted in the heart by God now begins to sprout out with life, demonstrating the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, growing and producing spiritual fruit unto his King; this is his reasonable service.

Dementia doesn't just affect the person with the diagnosis, but their family and friends too. This book provides practitioners with strategies to support families living with dementia pre- to post-diagnosis, using the story of a family and based on research throughout to help practitioners understand the lived experiences of everyone involved.

This text highlights individuals¿ own lived and felt experience, in order to share expertise about mental health problems. Looking at five common mental health states ¿ anxiety, depression, mood extremes, states of altered reality and impaired cognition ¿ the book also addresses the experience of care offered by health and social services and the impact of other people¿s responses. Drawing on personal narratives from a range of sources, this text foregrounds the voices of experts by experience, relates those voices to the academic literature and emphasises the importance of person-centred care and participation by services users in their own care.

This workbook builds upon the person-centred approach to dementia care, and gives students, practitioners and carers a new way of looking at dementia and the people who live with it.
