Beth Green – författare

As we strive to find a new relationship with God, we fight, we search, and we cryand so does God. And then we realize that God is not perfect; God is the totality of all being, and we are part of God. Memoirs of the New Age offers a collection of rich fables, introspective prayers, and poignant stories that unveil the struggles of humanity as we embrace the infinite.

Beth Green, a spiritual teacher and intuitive counselor, shares a unique voice that has helped hundreds of people to evolve and become greater blessings to those around them. From the pompous but tortured New Age rabbi who lost his congregation, to the young girl who hopes for a sign from God so she can become a nun, Green offers a mirror that allows for spiritual reflection and self-discovery. Other tales, poems, and fables are included that celebrate womanhood, illustrate the connection between sex and spirituality, and bring to life the emotions that accompany a reconciliation with God.

The unforgettable characters and poignant words in Memoirs of the New Age will help all of us remember who we are and, most importantly, that we are not alone.

Reviews of Memoirs of the New Age:

"I love Memoirs of a New Age! And I want to tell you that for me, this is not just a book, its more like an earthquake. A quiet rumble, that tantalizes, then shakes, then kind of explodes many of your long cherished ideas of who god is and what a real relationship with god could be. If youre up for some spiritual awakening, buy this book, check out the website, join a readers discussion club or bring the book to your club! Like a wonderful meal, its meant to be shared." Irene Townsend, PhD Clinical Psychologist

"I am building a really intimate relationship with this book the more I read it and the more I discuss it in our book club. At first it was just a great book of stories and poems and prayers. Then I started to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the language and the images, especially in the poems and prayers. Then as I discussed it with others, I began to see how the stories related to me personally and how healing it was for me to go inside and own my experiences as a child or a woman or a spiritual person, feelings prompted by the experiences of the characters or the author. Ive learned so much about myself and theres so much more to learn! This is a book that I dont have to put down when Im done as I have with so many wonderful books Ive read. I am going back over and over it to deepen and enrich my experience of what Im reading. Read it, embrace it, use it, enjoy it, savor it! Im giving this book to everyone I can think of for Christmas!"Helen Hillix-Di Santo, MA, MFT

"Dear Editor, I have read Memoirs of The New Age and have been profoundly impacted by these stories. The author, Beth Green, has an uncanny ability to express our human experiences in terms of seeing how we act and react to life is so intricately tied to our perceptions and beliefs about God. The writing is real, poignant, challenging and provides the opportunity for me to explore my own perceptions of God through the character''s eyes. I will be reading this over and over. Thank you for publishing it." Chris Reese

Church schools are booming, becoming increasingly popular with parents across the world. However, research shows that teachers face considerable challenges as they try to offer a distinctively Christian education within a church school context. This book is the account of a qualitative research project investigating the joys and difficulties experienced in English church school classrooms. The research team spent a year working alongside fourteen teachers from Catholic and Church of England secondary schools, introducing them to What If Learning, a pedagogical initiative designed by an international team of educationalists to support teachers in developing Christian approaches to teaching and learning. The highs and lows of the teachers’ experience are documented in this book and the lessons that emerge are explored in detail. The findings of the project are highly significant for all those involved with church school education and point towards valuable new ways of thinking about Christian faith and learning.

This book reformulates Christian education as an interdisciplinary and interdenominational vocation for professionals and practitioners. It speaks directly to a range of contemporary contexts with the aim of encouraging conceptual, empirical and practice-informed innovation to build the field of Christian education research. The book invites readers to probe questions concerning epistemologies, ethics, pedagogies and curricula, using multidisciplinary research approaches. By helping thinkers to believe and believers to think, the book seeks to stimulate constructive dialogue about what it means to innovate Christian education research today.Chapters are organised into three main sections. Following an introduction to the volume's guiding framework and intended contribution (Chapter 1), Part 1 features conceptual perspectives and comprises research that develops theological, philosophical and theoretical discussion of Christian education (Chapters 2-13). Part 2 encompasses empirical research that examines data to test theory, answer big questions and develop our understanding of Christian education (Chapters 14-18). Finally, Part 3 reflects on contemporary practice contexts and showcases examples of emerging research agendas in Christian education (Chapters 19-24).
