God wants to speak into our lives through His Holy Spirit and His Word, and we glorify and honor God each time we visit with Him in prayer or seek His wisdom in the Bible.He Speaks to the Ordinary is an inspiring collection of concise, uplifting reminders of the way we can both listen for the still, small voice of God in our daily lives, or call on Him for loving, compassionate guidance in our times of need. It is a book of hope, comfort, peace, and joy, and author Kathy Davis shares some of the transformational truths she has learned through spending quality time with God. With these heartfelt words of wisdom, we should be encouraged to cultivate an intimate personal relationship with God as we develop Christlike qualities.

When God calls, He expects us to listen. And with our calling from God, we can receive the peace and the salvation that only He can provide.

This co-authored volume explores multiple links between academic and creative writing practices and writing methodologies from feminist and intersectional perspectives. It discusses what it means for academic writing processes to consciously write in and from intersectional in-between spaces between monolithic identity markers and power differentials such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality.

Pediatricians care for children and families from all walks of life. Some are children known from neighborhoods. Others are children from distant lands. Pediatric focus does not stop with the physical care of children but extends to include their mental and social-emotional health and concern about their families. Pediatricians care about how children are doing at home, at school, and in their communities. In this era, children and their families are impacted by social and political changes in their homes (social media and screen time), in their communities (refugee populations and children requiring palliative supports at school), in their health care networks (EMR in every tertiary pediatric center), and in the larger world (multiple military deployments of fathers and mothers). This issue explores the impact of contemporary public health challenges for pediatric care, promising models for caring for chronically ill children, and state of the art therapies for complex childhood conditions.
