Why is it that children in a family can share the same gene pool, a similar socio-economic environment and experience similar parenting styles yet have fundamentally different personalities, interests and even different careers as adults? Birth order! The implications for parents, teachers and adults involved with children are many. First published in 2003 to great acclaim, this fully revised and updated edition seeks to increase the listener's understanding of birth order theory.

This topic is dear to my heart and one that needs further clarification. The quote, “Ordained covenantal relationship, marriage, and family are the same in the Spirit", took me some time to process and understand what the Spirit was saying. The reality that it is the only relationship that has the ability to reproduce after a Yahweh kind took even longer to unpack. Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the importance of developing new relationships while enjoying the safety and security of lifelong friendships.

Inverno demografico: e davanti a noi si stendono pianure infeconde e ghiacciate da far impallidire Il Trono di Spade, nella mente risuonano echi di tragedie shakespeariane. In Italia non si fanno più figli, dove andrà a finire la nostra civiltà, ma soprattutto: chi pagherà le nostre pensioni? Ma che senso ha insistere a credere che l'unico modo per tenere in piedi il sistema sia procreare, anche laddove le donne - per la precisione una minoranza di donne quantificata dall'Istat nel 5 per cento - pur essendo nelle condizioni di fare figli, non li vuole?

This is an autobiography about a man from New Jersey born in 1947. Following his graduation from high school in 1965, he enlisted in the Marines and went to Vietnam.

The fifth of eight children, Chris Forhan was born into a family of silence. He and his siblings learned, without being told, that certain thoughts and feelings were not to be shared. On the evenings his father didn't come home, the rest of the family would eat dinner without him, his whereabouts unknown, his absence pronounced but not mentioned. And on a cold night in 1973, just before Christmas, Forhan's father killed himself in the carport. Forty years later Forhan "bravely considers the way he is and is not his father's son" (Larry Watson).
