  Many colleges and universities informally highlight the value of mentoring among academic professionals. Yet scholars often lack clear definitions, goals, practices, and commitments that help them actually reap the benefits mentoring offers. As new faculty members from younger generations continue to face evolving challenges while also reshaping institutions, their ability to connect with more experienced mentors is critical to their vocations—and to the future of higher education.
  In Cultivating Mentors, a distinguished group of contributors explores the practice of mentoring in Christian higher education. Drawing on traditional theological understandings of the mentee-mentor relationship, they consider what goals should define such relationships and what practices make their cultivation possible among educators. With special attention to generational dynamics, they discuss how mentoring can help institutions navigate generational faculty transitions and cultivate rising leaders. Contributors include:
  
  - David Kinnaman
  - Tim Clydesdale
  - Margaret Diddams
  - Edgardo Colón-Emeric
  - Rebecca C. Hong
  - Tim Elmore
  - Beck A. Taylor
  - Stacy A. Hammons
  This book offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for faculty members, administrators, and policy makers. Whether pursuing their vocation in Christian or secular institutions, Christian scholars will benefit from the sharing of wisdom mapped out in Cultivating Mentors.

  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth 
  Book Summary 
  Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems—beliefs, behaviors, patterns—are 
  unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we 
  illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we 
  systematically understand our relationship with money, our individual meanings and symbolism, can we 
  overcome the mind and brain’s resistance to change? 
  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth will help you 
  recognize, own, and assess each component of your money story. You can then decide what to change, 
  map changes, author new storylines, and even program the changes to transform core identity to make it 
  complete and lasting. This systematic stepwise process to inform and strategically catalyze behavior 
  change will rewrite mind software and revise brain hardware of money stories as they are interwoven with 
  life, wellness, relationship, and career stories. These behavior, mind, and brain changes offer long-term 
  successful strategies, and even can crystallize a vision of your future self to significantly affect positive 
  money decisions.

  Chanakyaneeti

  Chanakya was the first thinker of the ancient times who nurtured the sense of nationalism and inculcated in the minds of the people that they owed their basic allegiance to the Rajya (State of Nation) and not to the Dharma. In contradistinction to the earlier concept he made the State paramount.He had seen that in the absence of any omnipotent religious authority the misconstrued faiths were shattering the very structure of society and morality. What was needed the total change or renovation of the system. But, there were no guiding beacons to enlighten the people about this new system. Thenhe wrote two significant books the 'Arthashastra' (known as Kautilya's Arthashastra) and a collection of his observation on various practical aspects of life entitled 'Chanakya-Niti'.'Chanakya Niti' is, in fact, this great thinker's pithy observation to impart the practical wisdom to the people of his time. But these teachings are so fundamental that it's relevance is almost ever lasting. Enshrined in the simple sense. Written in simple lucid language with clear thoughts, these observationshave not only withstood the test of time but many of phrases, like and have become the oft-quoted proverbs of our attempt has been to bring out their full meaning and interpret them in the context of the modern times so that their undecaying relevance may be fully appreciated. To bring home the fundamentality of these sayings, we have also compared them with the prevailingmodern concept.
