"What My Arms Can Carry is Gianna Patriarca's fourth book of poetry. She returns to the themes she explored first in the award winning Italian Women and Other Tragedies - the dislocation wrought on the lives of immigrants and the children of immigrants, the dream of returning "that dream for another lifetime," the deep pearl of memory."--BOOK JACKET.

Join me on a journey of discovery, looking at how human babies are perfectly designed to be carried in arms. We'll explore how babies develop, from newborn to childhood; find out how babies help the carrying process from birth, and how they can become active participants. We'll take a look at the ways we harm our bodies as we grow up, look at adults' bodies and find out how we can help ourselves, and discover how here in the UK we've made carrying harder for ourselves over the ages.You'll also pick up ways of making carrying more comfortable, through how you hold your baby/child as well as working with their inborn clinging nature. Learn to see carrying as a developmental process rather than something we do for our babies and children, and you'll soon realise the importance of in-arms carrying.

She walked away after one night, but fate had other plans. Our time together scorched my nerve endings and made it impossible to forget him. One night is all we had… all we needed. I ran away, leaving nothing but a note. I should have known better than to think he was in my past. Josh wasn’t supposed to haunt my dreams. But now, our paths have crossed again, and the chemistry that's ignited is even more explosive. This time? He’s not letting me get away, and he’s not afraid to tie me to his bed to prove that point. What was supposed to be one night is turning into something much more dangerous—something neither of us can control. The inferno raging around us is going to tear us apart. There’s no doubt about it. And when the ashes are all that are left, when the world we know is torn to pieces, will one more night with him be worth the destruction? This is Josh and Nia’s story. No Take Backs is a one-night-stand, workplace romantic suspense with a happily ever after. Each book in the Birch Harbor: Coming Home series can be read as a stand-alone, but the stories and characters do interconnect.

How do we reconcile the need to create safe places for worship and community with a theology of welcome and inclusion? Most houses of worship know they need a safety plan, but leadership often resists the tough conversations of restricting access and locking more doors. This seems contrary to proclaiming that church is a welcoming, open place for all. There are books, manuals, guides, and articles advising how to create a safety plan for faith-based institutions, but none of them wrestles with the theological questions that come up during the process. By exploring these questions, faith-based institutions of all kinds can better tackle the challenges of creating a safety plan with more thought, insight, and confidence. Understanding that incidents of violence are impossible to ignore, candor about the firearms debate will allow for deeper empathy and clearer direction in decision-making. Throughout this book, the author encourages leadership to reconcile having ultimate faith in God with taking reasonable means to protect ourselves and those in our care.
