Hoe om te oorleef sonder om te verstaan

R260 (R90 postal fee included)

Op 23 Januarie 2015 is Ds. Claudi le Roux, Roelf en Antoinette Opperman se dogter na ‘n fratsongeluk oorlede. In sy stryd om sin te maak van alles het Roelf Opperman hierdie boek geskryf.

Die boek gaan egter oor baie meer as net die dood van ‘n kind.

  • Dit gaan oor die heelword na enige trauma in jou lewe.

  • Dit gaan oor ‘n veerkragtigheid om te oorleef na ‘n egskeiding of die ontdekking van ‘n kankergewas.

  • Dit gaan oor die heelword in jou menswees na jou besigheid bankrot gespeel het of nadat een van jou ledemate afgesit is.

  • Dit gaan oor die herstel na trauma en ook hoedat jy ander mense wat deur trauma is, kan bystaan.

  • Dis ook ‘n boek vir terapeute en mense wat nie altyd mooi raad het hoe om iemand wie se lewenskaarte geskommel is en wie se lewens as gevolg van verlies uitmekaar geskeur het, te hanteer nie.

Mentoring Now
R260 (R90 postal fee included)

In 'Mentoring Now',  Dr Johan van den Heever developed a unique mentoring model where he describes a functional-relational process during which your God-given potential is rediscovered. In this model he deliberately makes a distinction between “functional” and “relational”. You are more than just a set of goals you need to achieve – function. You are a person who stands in relationships with a number of people around you – relational. Functioning optimally in the workplace is also a result of who you are in connection with the people you have close relationships with – at home and at work. In “Mentoring now” he places the emphasis on a holistic mentoring approach.

This manual serves as an introduction to the implementation and establishment of mentorship in the environment you find yourself in, whether it is the church, school, a non-profit organization, the public or private sector

Mentorskap

'n Inleiding tot die verstaan van mentorskap met die oog op leraars in die bediening

R260 (R90 postal fee included)

Die uitdaging met enige kursus of boek oor mentorskap is die vraag wat dikwels nie beantwoord word nie: “Maar hoe doen ek dit nou in die praktyk?”

In hierdie boek word die basiese teoretiese agtergrond oor mentorskap aangebied op so 'n wyse dat die konsepte maklik verstaanbaar is. Daar word duidelik uitgelig hoe mentorskap van afrigting of “coaching” verskil en wat die twee met mekaar in gemeen het. Die waarde van die boek lê egte opgesluit in die praktiese hulpmiddels, waarvoor Bronze Baobab nou reeds bekend is. Die boek is in twee afdelings ingedeel. Deel II bied aan die mentor en mentee 'n  uitvoerbare program, wat hulle twee opstel,  om die verhouding dinamies te rig om by spesifieke uitkomste te kom.
