Böcker av Deborah Jones

One hundred and fifty recipes are presented in this cookbook, many of them unique to the author's restaurant, such as lobster-filled crepes with a carrot-emulsion sauce, topped with a pea-shoot salad dressed lightly with lemon-infused oil, to name one of the simpler ones!

Nothing in Deborah Jones's formative years could have prepared her for life in the Us Organization. She, like many of her generation, was Black and Proud before the phrase became popular. She believed-and still believes-in the principles for which the organization stood. But her life took a horrific turn on Mother's Day, 1970, leaving her in trauma and in silence. In this never-before-told account, Jones tells her inspiring story.

This is a story of a ten-and-a-half-year-old girl. God can use anyone who is willing to surrender their lives over to him and trusting that his Word is true. He takes care of his own. I stand on the promises of God my savior-loving him because he first loves me. When God has a calling on your life, he will not stop until that calling is fulfilled. Whom he loves, he chases. God gave me a story to tell you. I pray and hope that all will receive his precious gift. Then it is well worth it.

Building on the process approach adopted by both the National Literacy Strategy and the National Curriculum 2000, this text addressess the question, "How do you teach writing?". The authors provide teachers with practical strategies and explicit explanation of the stages of the writing process.

In The School of Compassion, Deborah M. Jones engages with the Catholic Church's contemporary attitude towards animals. This is the fullest sustained study of the subject in that faith tradition.It begins by exploring the history of the Church's ideas about animals. These were drawn largely from significant readings of Old and New Testament passages and inherited elements of classical philosophies. Themes emerge, such as the renewal of creation in the apocryphal legends, in the Desert Fathers, and in Celtic monasticism. The spirituality of St Francis of Assisi, the legal status of animals, and liturgies of the Eastern Catholic Churches also shed light on the Church's thinking. The British Catholic tradition - which is relatively favourable to animals - is considered in some detail.The second part of the book provides a forensic examination of the four paragraphs in the Catechism of the Catholic Church which relate particularly to animals. Finally, major contemporary issues are raised - stewardship, anthropocentrism, and gender - as well as key ethical theories. The revisits some teachings of Aquinas, and explores doctrinal teachings such as that of human beings created in the 'image of God', and, with a nod to the Orthodox Tradition, as the 'priests of creation'. These help form a consistent and authentically Catholic theology which can be viewed as a school of compassion towards animals. The joy of this book is that it helps Catholic Christians to re-engage with the issue of animals by utilising the riches from within their own tradition....And what Dr Deborah Jones has discovered is a remarkably more complex, infinitely richer, and considerably more animal-friendly Catholic tradition than might be supposed by the usual caricatures. This book is the fullest systematic treatment of the moral status of animals within the Roman Catholic tradition. It is the result of painstaking scholarship, wide reading, and, most of all, insightful theological exploration. It builds on the work of others, like myself, and provides a stream of fresh perspectives on our lives with God's other creatures. It is a deeply Catholic work, and I pray that it strikes a deep chord within the Catholic community here and overseas. Revd Professor Andrew LinzeyDeborah M Jones is general secretary of the international organisation Catholic Concern for Animals and a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, with a doctorate in animal theology.
