A personal diary detailing twenty years of marriage to a sexually deviant preacher and our friends, also preachers who shared the same fate. The diary chronicles the scandalous dissent of the Pastor's family into the pit of hell behind sexual immorality and my personal struggle to climb out of that pit and restore my self-esteem and self-respect. But not before I too journeyed along with my husband down the path of sexual degradation which nearly cost my husband his life.

The idea of community involvement and empowerment has become central to politics in recent years. Governments, keen to reduce public spending and increase civic involvement, believe active communities are essential for tackling a range of social, economic and political challenges, such as crime, sustainable development and the provision of care. Public Policy in the Community examines the way that community and the ideas associated with it - civil society, social capital, mutuality, networks - have been understood and applied from the 1960s to the present day. Marilyn Taylor examines the issues involved in putting the community at the heart of policy making, and considers the political and social implications of such a practice. Drawing on a wide range of relevant examples from around the world, the book considers the success of existing approaches and the prospects for further developments. Thoroughly updated to reflect advances in research and practice, the new edition of this important text gives a state-of-the-art assessment of the place of community in public policy.
