Magazine articles, talk shows, and commercials advise us that our happiness and well-being rest on striking a balance between work and family. It goes unsaid, however, that the advice is based on an outmoded and unrealistic ideal. This provocative volume challenges the notion often offered in support of neo-liberal agendas that paid work (employment) and unpaid work (caregiving and housework) are separate and competing spheres, rather than overlapping aspects of a single existence. Alternative approaches to integrating work and family must be taken into account if we hope to build truly equitable family and childcare policies.

When Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient," Christians often forget that grace is the predominant characteristic of their Christian experience and therefore tend to overlook how grace permeates every aspect of their life. Were it not for grace, we would still be lost in our sin, unwilling to or incapable of enjoying the benefits of a relationship with Jesus. I chose the word panoply to describe God's grace because grace is so overwhelmingly abundant and impressively available to the believer.God's grace is more than sufficient. It is abundantly available to all that belong to Him. There is a reservoir of grace that will never empty. Christ was saying there is nothing else that will compare with it, nothing else that will replace it, and nothing else that will embody it. Grace is sufficient because there is nothing that can be added to it, supplement it, or enhance it. "Well written, interesting and easy to read. It presents a practical understanding and comprehensive application of grace to Christian believers' daily lives, written, at times, out of the crucible of personal experience. It serves as a wonderful tribute to your Dad, Dr. Lloyd Button's life and ministry. It also represents an incredible amount of careful thought and work. I found it to be both clear and captivating!" -Dr. David Nicholas, President, Shasta Bible College, Redding, California

Reflections on Lifes Challenges For many of us, life is a tough and lonely road to journey on. At times, we seem to be struggling for a sense of direction and find it extremely difficult to decide on what path to take on the road to personal happiness and success. The things that are happening in our daily lives seem to be overwhelming us to the point that sometimes we do not know what to do, who to turn to or where to run to, so as to solve our challenges. Our goal is of course personal happiness, and emotional and physical survival, which at times seems to be always just over the horizon. There are many successes and challenges taking place in our lives, which work to affect us in a major fashion, whether it is in a positive or negative way. What this book attempts to do is to reflect on some of these issues and put them in context for you the reader. In doing so, my sincere desire is for you to analyze what is happening in your life and help develop the aptitude to live the life that God has created you to live. Laurence Carter

The health disparities affecting Indigenous peoples in Canada might well be understood as a national epidemic. Although progress has been made in the last decade towards both understanding and ameliorating Indigenous health inequalities, very little research or writing has expanded a social determinants of health framework to account for the unique histories and present realities of Indigenous peoples in this country. This timely edited collection addresses this significant knowledge gap, exploring the ways that multiple health determinants beyond the social-from colonialism to geography, from economy to biology-converge to impact the health status of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This unique collection, comprised largely of contributions by Indigenous authors, offers the voices and expertise of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis writers from across Canada. The multitude of health determinants of Indigenous peoples are considered in a selection of chapters that range from scholarly papers by research experts in the field, to reflective essays by Indigenous leaders. Appropriate throughout a range of disciplines, including Health Studies, Indigenous Studies, Public and Population Health, Community Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, and Social Work, this engaging text broadens the social determinants of health framework to better understand health inequality. Most importantly, it does so by placing front and center the voices and experiences of Indigenous peoples.
