This text offers a comprehensive overview of gender and communication (communication both about and between men and women), incorporating a "personal effectiveness" model that provides students with a range of options for improving their own communication with members of the opposite sex. The work explains current research and how various influences (biology, social influences, language, media) impact behaviour and communication; it also explores relationship initiation and development, with specific reference to friendships, romantic relationships, marriage and family contexts, educational settings and the workplace. Intended to sensitize students to the subtle, sexist properties of language, it offers simple, contemporary, non-sexist alternatives. An instructor's manual (0-07-032293-7) is also available.

Have you ever been championed by someone? You have likely had times when people believed in you more than you believed in yourself and told you, “YOU CAN DO IT!” Their belief in you became a rock to stand on against the waves of insecurity, doubt, and fear in your mind. They were willing to allow you to try something challenging and new under their mentorship, and it caused you to find out there was more in you than you thought.You may not realize it, but you have been empowered by these people. This book reveals a solid biblical foundation for living a lifestyle of empowerment. Through empowering people, Jesus set an example for us and revealed the Father's heart in doing so. 'The Culture of Empowerment’ gives insight and practical tools for championing people as well as developing empowering beliefs about yourself and others.
