Woman of Grace is a mentoring program designed to bring groups of older women alongside younger women to teach marriage, mothering, and keeping the home. Many women today did not grow up in Christian homes and never had a good role model to follow as they transitioned from single life to marriage. Young wives need help both spiritually and practically for their roles in life.
This complete curriculum is ideal for women's ministry, small groups, or Bible studies. Woman of Grace is a ready-made plan to help you begin. It includes seven biblical lessons about womanhood, questions and answers for weekly homework, over 30 recipes for the group gatherings, and a bonus Called to Mentor manual to train your mentors.
This study of human rights argues for a greater openness in the ways we approach human rights and international rights promotion. Starting with the realities of abuse rather than the liberal architectures of rights, it casts human rights as a language for probing the political dimensions of suffering, and shows Western rights models as substantial but problematic. Brown shows that rather than a message from us to them, rights promotion is a long and difficult conversation about the relationship between political organisation and suffering. Three case studies are explored - the Tiananmen Square massacre, East Timor and the circumstances of indigenous Australians.
