  Discover five innovative ways to read the Bible 
  Do you feel guilty that you don’t read your Bible every day? When you do sit down to study the Bible, do you find yourself easily distracted and feeling like you’re missing something? Are you looking to connect with God’s Word in a fresh way that makes you look forward to your daily time in Scripture? If so, The Abide Bible Course is for you! 
  In this study, a professor and a pastor—Dr. Phil Collins and Randy Frazee—will walk you through five innovative practices that will take you beyond just reading and help you deeply engage with Scripture in a way that fits your unique personality and learning style. In each session, they will explain the practice and walk you through each one—with practical examples—so you can try it out for the upcoming week. These practices include:Praying Scripture: pray with the words of Scripture instead of your ownEngage Through Art: looking at works of art to help you see a passage in a new wayJournal: writing out your thoughts and feelings on a passage to give you greater clarityPicture It: putting yourself into the stories of the Bible to experience them firsthandContemplate: deeply reflecting and praying through a passage in God’s Word 
  Jesus instructed his followers to "abide" in him so they could lead fruitful lives (see John 15:4). The Abide Bible Course will equip you to establish a daily, lifelong habit of abiding in God's Word so you can hear his voice. 
  Sessions include:Abide in Christ (19:00)Praying Scripture (20:00)Engage Through Art (18:00)Journal (19:30)Picture It (20:00)Contemplate (17:00)

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

  Making Politics Work - Practical...

  An expansive study shows how politics can work for, not just against, efforts to improve America’s schools. The education reform project has always been about making America’s schools more effective for the children who attend them. In Making Politics Work, authors Paul T. Hill and Ashley E. Jochim show that this project cannot succeed without mastering what is the single largest constraint on its success: politics.Drawing upon more than a decade of work with dozens of school systems, Hill and Jochim show how failures to secure political support or mitigate inevitable opposition dooms the education reform project from the start. But this outcome is not inevitable. By tracing the evolution of the “portfolio strategy” across 27 localities that implemented it, they uncover practical lessons that superintendents, state leaders, and foundation officials can use to increase the likelihood that their ideas for improving public education don’t join the list of once-promising initiatives that could not be sustained in the face of intractable political conflict.

  Our Lives in Their Portfolios -...

  Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don’t just own financial assets. 
   
   
   
  The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and the homes in which many of us live—all now swell asset managers' bulging investment portfolios. 
   
   
   
  As the owners of more and more of the basic building blocks of everyday life, asset managers shape the lives of each and every one of us in profound and disturbing ways. In this eye-opening follow-up to Rentier Capitalism, Brett Christophers peels back the veil on "asset manager society." 
   
   
   
  Asset managers are unlike traditional owners of housing and other essential infrastructure. Buying and selling these life-supporting assets at a dizzying pace, the crux of their business model is not long-term investment and careful custodianship but making quick profits for themselves. 
   
   
   
  In asset manager society, the natural and built environments that sustain us become one more vehicle for siphoning money from the many to the few.
