Pulse Rate Research

I have completed the write up my sabbatical research if your are interested. In the end I decided not to write the stories for people but give pointers around some theological narratives that can be used to counter the cultural themes that were identified through the research and that will be emerging in the Western youthwork context in the next few years.

I am aware that there are few academic shortcuts but I was on SABBATICAL!
