Can life begin again...every other weekend? Adam Moynihan's life used to be awesome. Straight As, close friends and a home life so perfect that it could have been a TV show straight out of the 50s. Then his oldest brother died. Now his fun-loving mom cries constantly, he and his remaining brother can't talk without fighting, and the father he always admired proved himself a coward by moving out when they needed him most. Jolene Timber's life is nothing like the movies she loves--not the happy ones anyway. As an aspiring director, she should know, because she's been reimagining her life as a film ever since she was a kid. With her divorced parents at each other's throats and using her as a pawn, no amount of mental reediting will give her the love she's starving for. Forced to spend every other weekend in the same apartment building, the boy who thinks forgiveness makes him weak and the girl who thinks love is for fools begin an unlikely friendship. The weekends he dreaded and she endured soon become the best part of their lives. But when one's life begins to mend while the other's spirals out of control, they realize that falling in love while surrounded by its demise means nothing is ever guaranteed.

Every Other Weekend

When Jill's mother unceremoniously leaves her family for reasons only Jill knows, Jill tries to piece her life together with the help of new guy Daniel, who has scars on the inside and out.

But even as children, they knew their time together was limited. Time and time again, Ethan's mom would sober up and take him away--only to bring him back when she relapsed. Three years have passed since Ethan last lived with his grandparents, and Ethan and Rebecca are no longer the same people they once were. Ethan embraced his role as his mother's caretaker long ago and blames his grandparents for tearing him away from her. Meanwhile, Rebecca is racked with survivor's guilt after a car accident killed her father. She's been learning to navigate life as a wheelchair user ever since.

Untangling the day-to-day issues in our multifaceted lives can seem daunting. Time to sit quietly and reflect is rare. If we are fortunate, we have good friends or close family members with whom to talk things through and find clarity, but many times we feel isolated and lonely. As people of faith, we add another layer to our reflections when we wonder where God fits into our lives. In a broad sense, theological reflection happens any time that we wonder about God, our faith, our beliefs, and our values. In this book, however, Abigail Johnson offers a structured process for engaging in theological reflection by looking at a situation or event through a series of questions. These questions are designed to help individuals and small groups think through situations with the eyes of faith. Johnson provides detailed instructions for group facilitators, making this book a valuable resource for any theological reflection leader. She demonstrates how theological reflection will enrich the faith life of the individual and increase group members' sense of belonging to God and to the whole people of God. She also shows how small groups engaging in theological reflection affects the ongoing life of a congregation—particularly in the community's worship and the members' practice of spiritual disciplines.

Reflecting with God

Supervision--the shaping of spiritual leaders--occurs formally and informally in many aspects of congregational life. Every year, thousands of pastors supervise field education students and interns; staff members and lay leaders often supervise committee members or other staff; clergy and lay leaders supervise each other as a way to offer support and establish accountability. While supervision enhances the work of all concerned, it is rarely explicitly addressed in congregations. For over fifteen years, Abigail Johnson has supervised and trained others to supervise candidates for ordination within the United Church of Canada. Recognizing that supervision is as important in the formation of lay leaders as in the life of candidates for ordination, she has developed this book to guide all who supervise others in a congregation. Johnson views supervision as a ministry and shows how leaders can use their own innate gifts to enhance their supervision skills. By shaping the supervision relationship based on the gifts of the people involved as well as the context in which the relationship occurs, supervision can become an opportunity for mutual growth and learning that strengthens all other areas of ministry. This book provides a hands-on approach to supervision, addressing key areas such as identifying a learning focus, covenanting, managing conflict, understanding and using power and authority, offering and receiving feedback and evaluation, and celebrating and ending the supervisory relationship. Supervisors who pay attention to these and other key areas will help those they supervise develop their gifts for ministry in all forms.

Shaping Spiritual Leaders

La vida de Adam Moynihan solía ser maravillosa. Buenos amigos y una vida hogareña tan perfecta que podría haber salido en un programa de televisión de los años 50. Y entonces murió su hermano mayor. Ahora, su madre, amante de la diversión, llora constantemente. Él y su otro hermano no consiguen hablar sin pelearse y el padre que siempre admiró, demostró ser un cobarde al marcharse cuando más lo necesitaban. La vida de Jolene Timber no se parece en nada a las películas que tanto le gustan, al menos no a las felices. Como aspirante a directora, debería saberlo, pues lleva desde niña reintentando su vida constantemente. Con padres divorciados peleándose y usándola como peón, ningún tipo de juego mental le dará el amor por el que se muere. Obligados a pasar fin de semanas alternos en el mismo edificio de apartamentos, el chico que cree que el perdón le hace débil y la chica que cree que el amor es para los tontos, forjan una amistad poco probable. Pero cuando la vida de uno empieza a recuperarse mientras la del otro se desmorona, se dan cuenta de que, enamorarse mientras se está rodeado de caos no asegura nada bueno.
