Tricks of the Trade: How to Think about Your Research While You're Doing It - Original PDF
Tricks of the Trade: How to Think about Your Research While You're Doing It - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kevin & Sherry Harney خلاصه: Drawing on more than four decades of experience as a researcher and teacher, Howard Becker now brings to students and researchers the many valuable techniques he has learned. Tricks of the Trade will help students learn how to think about research projects. Assisted by Becker's sage advice, students can make better sense of their research and simultaneously generate fresh ideas on where to look next for new data. The tricks cover four broad areas of social science: the creation of the "imagery" to guide research; methods of "sampling" to generate maximum variety in the data; the development of "concepts" to organize findings; and the use of "logical" methods to explore systematically the implications of what is found. Becker's advice ranges from simple tricks such as changing an interview question from "Why?" to "How?" (as a way of getting people to talk without asking for a justification) to more technical tricks such as how to manipulate truth tables.Becker has extracted these tricks from a variety of fields such as art history, anthropology, sociology, literature, and philosophy; and his dazzling variety of references ranges from James Agee to Ludwig Wittgenstein. Becker finds the common principles that lie behind good social science work, principles that apply to both quantitative and qualitative research. He offers practical advice, ideas students can apply to their data with the confidence that they will return with something they hadn't thought of before.Like Writing for Social Scientists, Tricks of the Trade will bring aid and comfort to generations of students. Written in the informal, accessible style for which Becker is known, this book will be an essential resource for students in a wide variety of fields."An instant classic. . . . Becker's stories and reflections make a great book, one that will find its way into the hands of a great many social scientists, and as with everything he writes, it is lively and accessible, a joy to read."—Charles Ragin, Northwestern University

Personal God: Can You Really Know the One Who Made the Universe? - PDF
Personal God: Can You Really Know the One Who Made the Universe? - PDF
نویسندگان: Tim Stafford خلاصه: What do you mean when you say you've got a 'personal relationship with God '? Have you thought through the implications of that statement? We've heard it repeated so often that for many of us it has become just another Christian buzz phrase. But stop and think ... A personal relationship ... with GOD? Really? Personal how? How personal is it for you? Can a finite human being really have a personal relationship with a Being who stands outside the universe and inside the atom, who covers the earth with living things, and touches the human heart with life? Is this just a pious fiction, or can we really know and be known by this God, personally?

Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods: Twelve Ways You Can Unlock God's Word - PDF
نویسندگان: Rick Warren خلاصه: For many years every time I heard a good sermon or some in-depth Bible teaching,I would leave the meeting frustrated, wondering to myself, How.did.he.find.all.of.that.in.his.text? I wanted to be able to discover those truths on my own. In addition,I often felt guilty because people were always telling me I ought to study the Bible,but when I tried to study it, I didn’t know what to do. So I would get discouragedand give up.Since those days of frustration, I have discovered that most Christians sin-cerely want to study their Bibles on their own, but they just don’t know how. Theydon’t need more exhortation (“You ought to study your Bible!”); they just needsome instruction on how to study the Word of God. And that is the purpose of thisbook — it is a “how-to” manual on Bible study. It assumes that you already knowthe importance of personal Bible study, that you have been exhorted many times tothis Christian duty, and that you have been waiting for someone to show you howto do it.The Bible teaches us that we cannot be disciples of Jesus Christ if we do nothave a regular intake of the Word of God. On one occasion Jesus said to his fol-lowers, “If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and youshall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31 – 32 KJV). Aswe look back through the history of the Christian church, we find that the commondenominator of every great man and woman of God is that they knew the Scrip-tures and spent consistent, regular time with the Lord in his Word.Never before in history has the Bible been more available to the Western world.Yet never before has there been such a famine of God’s Word. We have Bibles inhotels, motels, doctors’ offices, libraries, and most homes in America, yet mostpeople are ignorant of what the Scriptures have to say. We live in a day of biblicalilliteracy, even among many people of God.

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts: Seven Questions to Ask Before and After You Marry - PDF
نویسندگان: Les and Leslie Parrott خلاصه: After boarding the plane, we fell into our seats, exhausted. Somuch time and energy had led up to that wedding ceremony. Andit had gone as planned. But now what? Both of us sat on the plane,emotionally spent, quietly pondering the meaning of marriage. Whatwas it all about, this marriage? Why didn’t I feel any different? Whowas this person I married, really?For Better or Worse?Let’s be honest. The “till death do us part” statement of the marriagevow rings increasingly ironic. In the 1930s, one out of seven marriagesended in divorce. In the 1960s, it was one out of four. Of the 2.4million couples who will get married this year in the United States,it is predicted that at least 43 percent will not survive. For too manycouples, marriage has become “till divorce do us part.”1Every couple marrying today is at risk. More than two-hundredthousand new marriages each year end prior to the couple’s secondanniversary. After they toss the bouquet and return the tuxedos,couples often assume they’re headed for marital bliss. But a study ofthose who recently tied the knot revealed that 49 percent reportedhaving serious marital problems. Half were already having doubtsabout whether their marriages would last.2The truth is, most engaged couples prepare more for their wed-ding than they do for their marriage. The $50-billion-a-year weddingindustry can testify to that fact. According to experts, the averagetwo-hundred guest wedding today costs twenty-two thousand dol-lars.3 More than one million copies of bridal magazines are sold eachmonth, focusing mainly on wedding ceremonies, honeymoons, andhome furnishings — but not on marriage itself

The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate (The Lost World Series, Volume 2) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: John H. Walton خلاصه: In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty propositions supporting a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. Ideal for students, professors, pastors and lay readers with an interest in the intelligent design controversy and creation-evolution debates, Walton's thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins. The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
