Valores Esenciales Para La Vida En Familia Y En Comunidad

Los padres saben que son responsables de enseñar a sus hijos los hábitos de higiene, aprender a comer en la mesa, llevarles al colegio para que reciban formación, etcétera. Sin embargo, la verdadera educación de los niños se completa con la transmisión de valores que les permitirá convertirse en personas íntegras, vivir en armonía con los demás y distinguir entre lo que es bueno o malo para sí y los otros. Los autores de este libro nos ofrecen, precisamente, prácticas y sencillas maneras de transmitir a los hijos los valores morales necesarios para que aprendan el equilibrio entre sus deseos personales y las necesidades del grupo social. Valores como lealtad, honestidad, justicia, tolerancia, humor y muchos otros son expuestos en esta obra mediante una sencilla descripción, facilitando herramientas para su aprendizaje y claros ejemplos para su transmisión a los niños. Barbara C. Unell es editora de la revista Twins y Jerry Wyckoff es psicólogo, profesor y asesor en numerosos colegios.

Para evitar la cautividad cultural, los fundamentos de la educacion cristiana deben ser repensados por cada generacion. De no hacerlo, dice el autor, los educadores cristianos «corren el riesgo de perpetuar ideas y practicas anticuadas, ajenas al evangelio». «Al explorar con criterio los diversos fundamentos que han predominado y predominan en el pensamiento evangelico», continua el autor, «los educadores pueden enfrentar mejor las necesidades de hoy y los retos del futuro». En Cuestiones fundamentales de la educacion cristiana, el autor mismo se entrega a este proceso de evaluacion critica, con importantes resultados. El autor llama a los educadores evangelicos a «reafirmar las verdades biblicas», que constituyen la «autoridad esencial para nuestra teoria y practica», y a «incorporar las verdades de otras disciplinas», proceso que tiene que estar «sujeto a la continua autoridad de la Palabra de Dios».

Spain since 1812 is an ideal introduction to the history of Spain. The chapters are arranged chronologically and each begins with an overview of major events and movements in Europe as a whole. Emphasis is placed on understanding major developments, their causes, and the relationships between them.

Extracts from key Spanish texts, in Spanish and in translation, enable students to see, first hand, the mood of the time. Chapters end with topics for discussion to encourage critical thinking.

Written in an accessible style and assuming no prior knowledge, the books in this series address the specific needs of students on language courses, as well as anyone with an interest in modern history. Approaching the study of history via contemporary politics and society, each book offers a clear historical narrative and sets the country or region concerned in the context of the wider world.
