God has a plan for your life. More often than not, it’s a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. Which nobody likes. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. Detours are a good thing that often feels bad. Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us. Using examples from the life of Joseph, Tony will leave readers with answers to the following questions: How do you find the destiny God has designed for your life? How can you make the most of the detours God has planned for you? Is there a way to shorten a detour and speed up your progression in life? What is the purpose of a detour?

How is a wife to love her husband? By learning three things, says Tony Evans: how to submit, seduce, and surrender to her husband. Out of these three principles a godly marriage will grow. In For Married Women Only, pastor and author Tony Evans explores these three principles in a straight-forward yet encouraging manner. He unpacks the touchy topic of submission and lays out the rewards inherent in this biblical model. On seduction, Evans looks at the quality of attractiveness and how embodying it can be pleasing to your spouse and to God. And with surrender, readers will examine why a wife is the perfect help mate for her husband and how to combat attitudes opposed to God’s design. Originally published in 2002 as Tony Evans Speaks Out on a Woman’s Role in the Home, this booklet has sold nearly 38,000 copies. Use it alone or with the companion volume, For Married Men Only.

Discretion has re-emerged as an issue of central importance for welfare professionals over the last two decades in the face of an intensification of management culture across the public sector. This book presents an innovative framework for the analysis of discretion, offering three accounts of the managerial role – the domination model, the street level model and the author's alternative discursive perspective. These different regimes of discretion are examined through a case study within a social services department, comparing and contrasting social work discretion in an Older Persons Team and a Mental Health Team. This innovative, theoretical and empirical analysis will be of great interest to postgraduate students and researchers in social work and related disciplines including social policy, public administration and organizational studies, as well as professionals in social work, health and education.

This is a new edition of this popular introduction to the politics of human rights.Tony Evans argues that the state's central role in protecting and promoting rights has been severely weakened under globalization and that as a consequence human rights are becoming less attainable. As the value of the market grows, the value of individual human rights decreases. The author departs from traditional interpretations of human rights by focusing on the political economy of human rights rather than on the philosophical or legal aspects. He analyses how issues related to globalization, such as the environment, population movement patterns and free trade impact on individual human rights. In conclusion, he argues that the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and other major treaties must be renegotiated to take globalization into account.

Cup Final Day, 1986, and the eyes of the world are on Liverpool and Everton as they walk out on to Wembley's lush green turf. Pumped with pride and passion, the two best teams in Europe are about to engage in a gladiatorial battle in front of 100,000 fanatical supporters. But this is not just another match, another cup final. On this warm day in May, the future of English football - and a city's reputation - is on the line. A year before this momentous Cup Final, Liverpool fans had been involved in the Heysel disaster. Thirty-nine people had died in the decaying stadium - a tragedy which cast a long, dark shadow over the sport. English clubs were banned from Continental competition, and football reached its lowest point. Tony Evans's Two Tribes recalls the tumultuous 1985/86 season and the titanic struggle for supremacy between the two great Merseyside clubs. Set against a backdrop of social and political turmoil, it reveals the full impact of Thatcher's policies, the vibrant northwest music scene and the burgeoning anti-establishment vibe on the streets and on the terraces. Giving voice to players, managers, politicians and musicians, Two Tribes follows the remarkable twists and turns of a season and how Merseysiders took over London for one unforgettable day with deafening chants of 'Merseyside! Merseyside!' ringing around Wembley Stadium. Ultimately, this is the story of Liverpool's renaissance and Everton's private agony, masked by a show of solidarity and communal spirit on the day, and how a season which began in shame ended in pride.

DEUS TEM UM PLANO PARA SUA VIDA NA MAIORIA DAS VEZES, um desvio pode deixar você se sentindo temporariamente paralisado e desacelerado. O que ninguém gosta. Mas desvios são necessários para melhorar os caminhos que percorremos — talvez um naufrágio seja evitado ou um perigo seja afastado. Eles são projetados para nosso próprio bem, independentemente de como os vemos ou nos sentimos sobre eles. Embora sejam vistos como algo ruim, desvios são, na verdade, algo bom. Tony conhece bem esse assunto, e uma das coisas que ele sabe com certeza é que Deus trabalha através de desvios para nos abençoar, para nos colocar no lugar que Ele criou especialmente para cada um de nós. No entanto, o que normalmente buscamos é tentar ao máximo, e de maneira viável, encontrar as condições mais favoráveis que acreditamos serem as melhores para nós. Usando exemplos da vida de José, o filho predileto do patriarca Jacó, Tony fornecerá aos leitores respostas às seguintes perguntas: • Como você encontra o destino que Deus planejou para sua vida? • Como você pode aproveitar ao máximo os desvios que Deus tem planejado para você? • Existe uma maneira de encurtar um desvio e acelerar seu progresso na vida? • Qual é a finalidade de um desvio?

El sexo no es todo lo que el mundo cree que es. Es más. Este libro habla de sexo, y es para personas que piensan en sexo. Y si somos honestos, eso nos incluye a todos. El sexo domina nuestra cultura popular más que nunca. El mundo nos dice que nuestra sexualidad nos pertenece, y podemos hacer con ella lo que nos plazca. Tal vez haya escuchado la frase "¡Sólo se vive una vez!". Se supone que, al tener solo una vida, debemos hacer todo lo queramos con ella. Sin embargo, si solo tenemos uno de algo, ¿no debería significar que tratemos a esa cosa con cuidado y la usemos como fue diseñada para ser utilizada? Dios nos dice que nuestra sexualidad es valiosa y debe ser tratada como tal. El sexo sin restricciones en nuestra cultura es solo un atajo a la realización personal y, por desgracia, una imitación indigna del sexo verdadero. Sex isn't everything that the world makes it out to be. It's more. This is a book about sex, for those who think about it. And if we're honest, that's everyone. Sex dominates our popular culture to a degree we've never seen before. Our world tells us that our sexuality is ours to do with as we please. Perhaps you've heard the phrase YOLO—You Only Live Once! We're meant to believe that since we only have one life, we should do whatever it is that we want with that life. But if we only have one of something, shouldn't that mean that we treat it with care and use it as it was designed to be used? God tells us that our sexuality is valuable and needs to be treated as such. The unrestricted sex of our culture is being touted as a shortcut to personal fulfillment but, sadly, is only a cheapened imitation of the real thing. Whether you are single or married, discover how to enjoy true intimacy—the real fulfillment and satisfaction that God intended.
