In the present volume James Robinson completes his trilogy, which deals with the history of divine healing in the period 1906-1930. The first volume is a study of the years 1830-1890, and was hailed as ""a standard reference for years to come."" The second book covers the years 1890-1906, and was acclaimed as ""a monumental achievement"" that combines ""careful historical scholarship and a high degree of accessibility."" This volume completes the study up to the early 1930s and, like the other two works, has a transatlantic frame of reference. Though the book gives prominence to the theology and practice of divine healing in early Pentecostalism, it also discusses two other models of healing, the therapeutic and sacramental, promoted within sections of British and American Anglicanism. Some otherwise rigorous Fundamentalists were also prepared to practice divine healing. The text contributes more widely to medical and sociocultural histories, exemplified in the rise of psychotherapy and the cultural shift referred to as the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The book concludes by discussing the major role that divine healing plays in the present rapid growth of global Christianity. ""Robinson''s work is intriguing and insightful. . . . Tracing connections between historical figures and those they influenced in such a way that historical roots shed light on current ideas and practices."" --Craig Keener, Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky ""A good read crammed with larger than life characters brought vividly to life, Robinson''s account . . . is masterly."" --Andrew Walker, Emeritus Professor of Theology, Culture, and Education, King''s College, UK ""Scholars of Christianity will welcome this final installment in James Robinson''s comprehensive history of the transatlantic divine healing movement. By elucidating the integral connections between divine healing and the emerging pentecostal movement from 1906 -1930, Robinson sheds light on the theologies and practices that contributed to the remarkable growth of spirit-filled forms of faith around the globe over the course of the twentieth century. This book is a valuable contribution to an increasingly important subject."" --Heather D. Curtis, Associate Professor Department of Religion, Core Faculty American Studies and International Relations, Tufts University, Massachusetts ""Lively, scholarly and genuinely interesting. This fine book fills gaps in our knowledge of healing movements on both sides of the Atlantic. The accounts of George Jeffreys and Smith Wigglesworth are absorbing and enriched by fresh material."" --William K Kay, Professor of Pentecostal Studies, University of Chester, UK James Robinson was awarded his doctorate from the Queen''s University Belfast. He is the author of Pentecostal Origins: Early Pentecostalism in Ireland in the Context of the British Isles (2005), and the present trilogy on divine healing.

In 1995 the first edition of Performance Consulting introduced a concept which has since become a cornerstone of the human resource, learning and organizational development fields: training and HR solutions do not take place in a vacuum but must be tied to an organization''s business goals. Performance consulting is a process in which a client and consultant partner to achieve business goals by optimizing workgroup performance. In this updated edition, Dana and Jim Robinson draw on what they''ve learned since the first edition was published twelve years ago, providing both a robust conceptual framework and improved tools and techniques to help the reader move from the traditional role to that of a Performance Consultant. They show readers how to form partnerships with management, help to identify performance required to ensure that business goals are achieved and assist management in taking actions needed for performance to change. They also illustrate the “how-to’s” for assisting management to identify the performance required to achieve business goals; and determining the degree to which the work environment supports and encourages the performance required. Effective HR and learning consultants master both the “science” (the analytical and assessment techniques) and the “art” (the consultative and partnering practices) of performance consulting. For the science of performance consulting, dozens of analytic tools, templates and assessment techniques are provided in the book. Regarding the art, the Robinsons describe the concepts and practices of ACT—building Access, Credibility and Trust—with business managers. In addition, two brand new chapters are dedicated to the skills of reframing requests for solutions into discussion of business goals and performance requirements; and Initiating business goals discussions with business managers and identifying strategic opportunities to partner with those managers in a proactive manner. Performance Consulting Toolkit - The second edition of Performance Consulting references graphic and adaptable tools that can be downloaded to support the performance consulting work the Robinsons describe. These tools are available to purchase and download from this product page. See the Table of Contents link for the full listing of the tools. Some tools (in Adobe PDF) can be printed and shared; others (in Microsoft Word) can be adapted to your specific needs and application requirements.
