  In the world of education, disorientation and uncertainty has been increasing for several decades, with the Covid-19 pandemic only exacerbating preexisting challenges. Christians called to academic vocations need authentic hope to sustain them in their work—and they need to be able to share that hope with a weary world.
  Habits of Hope explores a Christian understanding of hope and how it applies to the work of educators, administrators, scholars, and others in academia. Essays by master practitioners focus on six key educational practices and describe how these practices can cultivate hope within educators as well as among their students and everyone they serve:
  
  - integration
  - conversation
  - diversity
  - reading
  - writing
  - teaching
  Contributors include Hans Boersma; Kimberly Battle-Walters Denu; Kevin G. Grove, CSC; Cherie Harder; Jon S. Kulaga; Philip Graham Ryken; David I. Smith; and Jessica Hooten Wilson.
  Christian hope, these thinkers are convinced, has two fundamental characteristics: it's tied inextricably to the world to come, inaugurated by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and it's active in its very nature. Habits of Hope combines theology and practical application to help educators find hope and infuse it throughout every area of their work.

  If you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you should know that BPD doesn't have to define you. Like many mental health issues, BPD manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. You may struggle with relationships. And you may not see yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you've written about your life. So, how can you take charge of your own story, and start on the road to healing? 
   
   
   
  This compassionate guided journal offers a personalized, constructive, and healing approach to managing your symptoms. Through the act of writing, you'll gain insight into the four elements of BPD—emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships—and find powerful tools to balance your emotions, reverse unhealthy habits that get in the way of meaningful relationships, and move past feelings of shame and regret to cultivate self-compassion. This book will help you gain empowering insight into yourself and your unique mind, so you'll feel equipped to step out into a world where you know you belong.

  Testing Education - A Teacher's...

  Since the 2002 implementation of No Child Left Behind, the American public education system has been fundamentally changed. Excessive testing, standardized curriculums, destructive demands on children, corporate-­style evaluations, and top-­down mandates have become the norm. In response, record numbers of demoralized educators have quit, and millions of students have been left educationally impoverished. This troubling transformation has been exhaustively critiqued by scholars and commentators. Yet one crucial voice has been missing. 
   
   
   
  In Testing Education, Kathy Greeley recounts the impact of education reform from a teacher's point of view. Based on a teaching career ranging nearly forty years, Greeley details how schools went from learning communities infused with excitement, intellectual stimulation, and joy to sterile spaces of stress, intimidation, and fear. In this ultimately hopeful memoir, Greeley asks us to learn from the past to reimagine the future of public education.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood tells the fictionalized story of Grace Marks, a young housemaid convicted of murder in 1843. The novel explores the complexities of truth, memory, and identity as a doctor, Simon Jordan, attempts to uncover the truth about the crime. As Dr. Jordan delves into Grace's story through interviews and a hypnotic session, he struggles with her shifting narratives and his own emotional involvement. The story examines how narratives are shaped by personal perspectives and social expectations. The narrative also portrays the challenges faced by women in the 19th century. The book presents a narrative filled with fragmented memories, conflicting accounts and social commentary that questions the nature of truth itself.
