This book on health promotion attempts to trace the disciplinary roots of the subject. With many practical examples of applied theory, it relates the theoretical with the practical to form a reference for academics and practitioners alike. In terms of theoretical development, health promotion is at a crossroads. Over the last 20 years or so, it has emerged from its roots in public health and health education to become a central force in the "new" public health movement. This has been accompanied by a proliferation on papers concerned with research, theory and the discipline of health promotion, such that it now demands to be recognised as an emerging and discrete discipline. This book debates whether it has yet reached a stage of independence from its disiplinary roots or if it is, in fact, still a product of a multi-disciplinary base. Contributions from experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, education and epidemiology, the primary feeder disciplines, explain how concepts and theories from these acedemic fields have helped to shape health promotion theory.

Ingram - In today's busy world, it is increasingly difficult to discover the inner peace and order that bring an outward sense of stability and joy. By working through five specific areas, MacDonald gives readers helpful advice for fighting the disorder within and finding personal growth and spiritual development. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Book Description - Ordering Your Private World is phenomenal selling over 1 million copies upon its original release in 1984. With revisions and new material, it is ever more timely to readers. Never admitting to have it all together, but rather using his own personal struggle as a way for readers to relate to his principles, Gordon MacDonald's classic book invites readers to bring order to their personal life by inviting God's control over every segment of their lives. His premise is that if the private world of a person is in order, it will be because they are convinced that the inner world of the spiritual must govern the outer world of activity.

Reference

Nelson Books

We have schedule planners, computerized calendars,and self-stick notes to help us organize our business and social lives everyday. But what about organizing the other side of our lives—the spiritual side?
One of the great battlegrounds of the new century is within the private world of the individual.The values of our Western culture incline us to believe that the busy, publicly active person in ministry is also the most spiritual.
Tempted to give imbalanced attention to the public world at the expense of the private, we become involved in more programs, more meetings. Our massive responsibilities at home, work, and church have resulted in a lot of good people on the verge of collapse.
In this timely update of his classic Ordering Your Private World, Gordon MacDonald equips a new generation to live life from the inside out, cultivating the inner victory necessary for public effectiveness.
“With much enthusiasm I recommend this book to all of you who, like me, need order in your private world.”
—Charles Swindoll, Chancellor, Dallas Theological Seminary
“This book was the primary instrument that God used to motivate me to integrate spiritual disciplines into my daily walk with Christ . . . I shudder to think where I’d be today had I not read it.”
—Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor,Willow Creek Community Church
