"This book is located in the context of professional practice and the practice world. It scopes and maps the broad horizons of qualitative research on practice and explores writing in major qualitative research traditions. A key issue addressed in writing qualitative research, particularly the narrative forms, is finding a way to write that encapsulates the goals and genre of the research project. Writing is presented as a process and journey and also a way of thinking and creating knowledge. Within research, writing is an essential expression of the research frame of reference and a key element of the research genre. This book explores writing for a range of publications including books, chapters, theses and papers for journals."--Publisher.

Writing Qualitative Research on Practice

Not so long ago, Sandra knew the path her life would take. Housewife. Mother. A noble calling, yet predictable, ordinary. Then out of nowhere came a strange proposal. Abruptly, her course was altered: a new town, another life far from home. As she struggled to hold to her end of the agreement, she didn't see that all she loved was slowly crumbling. Wings in the Storm is the true story of mistakes realized too late, of everything lost, of the fight to get it back, and of rebuilding a life far different from before. It delves deep into frailties and vulnerabilities, yet it’s peppered with touching moments, valued friendships, and humorous stories. Throughout its pages is the unmistakable thread of God’s guiding hand, His care, and His comfort.
