Much of Africa was transformed into a Christian continent within a fewgenerations, changing profoundly the nature of the continent's religion;but the spirits of the old religions did not necessarily disappear.'Spirit possession' and 'spirit affliction' cults, often institutionalisedin African religions, are still common in many societies, also those whichare now predominantly Christian.

The author then outlines theimplications of these shifts for pastoral care. ... Read more

P.E. Lesson plans for High school
I think this book is a great resource for the high school P.E. teacher. I gave it four stars because because it is a great resource! I didn't give 5 starts because these work really only if you have all the needed materials. It would be even better if it gave alternative ways to teach the different sports or more sport/activities that are more accommodating to smaller schools or non-public institutions with less money.
