This is a museum guide to the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna.
A team of internationally renowned architects examines Havana as a model that epitomizes the problems facing major cities in the 20th and 21st sprawling slums and the dire need for housing, the conservation, and restoration of a unique architectural heritage, and the protection of this city from the dangers of an exploding tourist industry.
Times are changing and so are families. Today’s modern family is facing challenges that rarely, if ever, crossed our minds just a few years ago. Most families today are long on commitment and short on time. They are being pulled in many directions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to connect relationally. Smart phones, mobile technology, work-life balance, relentless hurry and stress seem to be woven into the fabric of their lives. In this much-needed new book, Craig Jutila gives sound and practical advice—drawn from biblical principles, personal family experience, and expertise as a Children’s Ministry leader—on how to raise a strong and healthy family in a modern world, and move from a family that simply survives to a family that really thrives.
