The Lord's Prayer: Praying with Power
by Kevin Harney John OrtbergLearn to Pray with the Master If you could ask the first disciples, “What was the Savior’s secret to living in alignment with the Father’s will and with power to face life’s challenges,” they would have answered with one word, “Prayer!” As we learn to talk with the Father, we grow strong in faith and obedience. The Lord’s Prayer is much more than a collection of words to be recited from memory. It is a Jesus-given springboard to launch us into the refreshing waters of God’s wisdom and strength. When we learn to pray with Jesus, we become like him. Will you dare to echo the plea of the first disciples, “Teach us to pray”?

Loris Malaguzzi and the Schools of Reggio Emilia: A selection of his writings and speeches, 1945-1993 (Contesting Early Childhood)
by Peter Moss Paola Cagliari Marina Castagnetti Claudia Giudici Carlina Rinaldi Vea VecchiLoris Malaguzzi was one of the most important figures in 20th century early childhood education, achieving world-wide recognition for his educational ideas and his role in the creation of municipal schools for young children in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia, the most successful example ever of progressive, democratic and public education. Despite Malaguzzi’s reputation, very little of what he wrote or said about early childhood education has been available in English. This book helps fill the gap, presenting for the first time in English, writings and speeches spanning 1945 to 1993, selected by a group of his colleagues from an archive established in Reggio Emilia. They range from short poems, letters and newspaper articles to extended pieces about Malaguzzi’s early life, the origins of the municipal schools and his ideas about children, pedagogy and schools. This material is organised into five chronological chapters, starting at the end of World War Two and ending just before his death, with introductions to each chapter providing background, including the historical context, the main events in Malaguzzi’s life and the rationale for the selection of documents. The book provides a unique insight into the background, thinking and work of Malaguzzi, revealing, in his own words, how his thinking developed, how he moved between theory and practice, how he border-crossed many disciplines and subjects, and how he combined many roles ranging from administrator and campaigner to researcher and pedagogue. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find this landmark publication provides rich insights into his life and work.

Losing Heart: The Moral and Spiritual Miseducation of America's Children
by H. Svi ShapiroIn this book Svi Shapiro explores the ideological and attitudinal functions of schools, looking especially at what is called the 'hidden curriculum.' He offers both an analysis of the role of education in producing and maintaining attitudes and values that contribute to our competitive, socially unequal, instrumental, consumerist, and self-oriented culture and a radically different vision for what our schools should be about--a vision that focuses on education's role in supporting a more critically reflective, socially responsible, and compassionate culture.Federal and state legislation have propelled schools today in the direction of an increasingly test-driven, instrumental, and individually competitive regime. Under these legislative mandates, schools are increasingly alienating and stressful places for both students and teachers. Most disturbing is that this form of education is not conducive to providing young people with the capacity to cope with the moral, cultural, spiritual, and political challenges of the world they inhabit. More than only offering a critique of schools, Shapiro proposes a counter-vision that can lead to a different kind of culture and society, and he discusses strategies for advocating and implementing it. Written in a style that is very accessible to a wide range of readers, Losing Heart: The Moral and Spiritual Miseducation of America's Children is also carefully researched and draws on relevant theory to make a strong case.This book speaks to a wide range of readers, including academics and students in education, sociology, anthropology, political science, and cultural studies; public school professionals; and the general public interested in education. It will appeal to faculty in schools of education who are looking for a text that offers both a critical language and one that speaks to possibility and change.
Losing My Faculties
by Brendan HalpinIn his first nine years as a teacher, Brendan Halpin goes from wide-eyed idealist to cynical, heartbroken idealist. Unique among teaching memoirs, Losing My Faculties is not the story of a heroic teacher who transforms the lives of his hardbitten students; rather, it's the inspirational and often unpretty truth about people who choose to get up ridiculously early day after day and year after year to go stand in front of teenagers. It's also a rarely-seen, all-access view of both suburban and urban education, including the ugly truth behind the mythology at a much-hyped charter school.

L’osservatore della Genesi
by Alberto Canen Aldo IngenitoPiù di 300.000 libri venduti! La scienza dietro la storia della creazione La Genesi, i sette giorni della creazione ... da dove viene il testo che costituisce la prima parte della Bibbia? Il suo testo è un semplice poema introduttivo ... o è una narrazione? Cosa c'è dietro le sue parole? Alberto Canen ha trovato un modo alternativo per rispondere a queste ed altre domande sulla Genesi. Ha trovato un percorso che nessuno altro aveva intrapreso prima, e invita il lettore a scoprirlo e condividere i suoi risultati con lui. L'autore ha scoperto che, nascosto sul fondo della trama, c'è qualcuno. Qualcuno che osserva. Qualcuno che racconta. Qualcuno che racconta quello che osserva. E un luogo, una posizione da cui egli osserva. La posizione dell'osservatore. La chiave di un puzzle emozionante. La Genesi è stata un mistero per migliaia di anni. Nessuno era riuscito mai a capire di cosa parlasse il testo, se era solo una poesia introduttiva alle Sacre Scritture, o conteneva in realtà informazioni sulla creazione. Il testo della Genesi ha separato le acque dei creazionisti e degli scienziati fino a oggi. Con questo libro spero di diluire questa separazione tra scienziati e creazionisti, poiché ho scoperto la chiave che unisce entrambi i mondi. Penso che la chiave per svelare il mistero della Genesi è capire che viene narrato da qualcuno. Un narratore della Genesi. Qualcuno che testimonia la visione che Dio gli dà e racconta ciò che ha visto, e lo vede dalla sua posizione umana e terrena. Questa precisa posizione terrena è la chiave per comprendere la Genesi.
