|  | A Different Death by Darrel W. Amundsen, Edward J. Larson
Fueled by controversies surrounding right-to-die activists, the debate over euthanasia occupies central stage in today`s social arena. Christians have long been concerned with the issue, but A Different Death is the first comprehensive attempt to consider it in its historical, legal, ethical and theological aspects. Authors Larson and Amundsen combine impressive talents and backgrounds to survey the history of euthanasia in Christendom. Since Christian attitudes toward suicide are relevant to the discussion of active, voluntary euthanasia, they trace suicide from early Christianity into the modern period. They conclude with three chapters of detailed and penetrating counsel on how Christians should engage the euthanasia debate today. Larson and Amundsen`s work is multifaceted and thorough. Henceforth, any discussion of Christianity and euthanasia will have to take A Different Death into account. AUTHOR: Darrel W. Amundsen, Edward J. Larson

 | Your Defiant Child by Christine M. Benton
Every child has ornery moments, but more than one in 20 American children exhibit behavioral problems that are out of control. Your Defiant Child: Eight Steps to Better Behavior offers understanding and guidance to parents struggling with an unyielding or combative child. Drawing on Dr. Russell A. Barkley's more than 20 years of work with parents and children, the book clearly explains what causes defiance, when it becomes a problem, and how it can be resolved. The book's comprehensive eight-step program stresses consistency and cooperation, promoting changes through a system of praise, rewards, and mild punishment. Parents learn tools and strategies for establishing clear patterns of discipline, communicating with children on a level they can understand, and reducing family stress overall. Filled with helpful sidebars, charts, and checklists, Your Defiant Child helps readers get their children's behavior back on track and restore harmony in the home. AUTHOR: Christine M. Benton
