  Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
   
   
   
  So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
   
   
   
  In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
   
   
   
  Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

  Shortlisted for the 2024 Crime Writers Association ALCS Gold Dagger for non-fiction. 
  Behind one of the greatest tragedies in UK policing history lies an incredible political scandal 
  ‘An important book, especially now’ Lee Child 
  ‘Espionage, betrayal, terrorism, corruption and murder. All the ingredients of a Le Carré novel, only it’s real’ Matthew Hall 
  ‘A powerful and timely account’ John Sutherland 
  On 17 April 1984, as demonstrators gathered outside the Libyan embassy in London, two gunmen lay in wait inside. At 10.18 a.m. automatic gunfire rained down on the protestors and WPC Yvonne Fletcher fell, mortally wounded. 
  As his friend lay dying, PC John Murray made her a promise that he would not rest until those responsible had been brought to justice. Thirty-seven years would pass before he was able to fulfil that undertaking. 
  While researching this moving account of one man’s dogged pursuit of justice for a murdered colleague, Matt Johnson uncovered secret-service deals and government duplicity, all part of a plan to force an end to the National Union of Mineworkers’ strike. He discovered the real reason Yvonne’s killers were allowed to go free and how events that day led to thirty years of growing political control of policing, resulting in the disarray increasingly evident today. 
  This compelling account pulls seemingly unconnected threads into a coherent – and shocking – whole. It provides startling insights into how decisions taken by our politicians and the actions of our intelligence agencies, supposedly in our best interests, may be anything but.

  Farnsworth's Classical English...

  Learn how to argue from the masters. This book is a complete course on the art of argument, taught by the greatest practitioners of it: Churchill, Lincoln, and hundreds of others from the golden age of debate in England and America. 
   
   
   
  The book's concise chapters provide lessons in all aspects of give and take—the syllogism and the slippery slope, the argumentum ad hominem and reductio ad absurdum, the fallacy and the insult. Ward Farnsworth shows how the full range of such techniques can be used or repelled, and brings them to life with examples that are fascinating and instructive. 
   
   
   
  The result is a must-listen reference that will leave you better able to win arguments and to defend yourself under fire. It's also an entertaining reminder that argument can be a source of beauty and delight. As Farnsworth says of the examples, they show talented advocates "crossing analytical swords and exchanging abuse when those things were done with more talent and dignity than is common today. They made argument a spectator sport of lasting value and interest."

  The Montessori Difference -...

  Angeline Stoll Lillard

  Montessori is the oldest and most widespread alternative educational system available today. In the United States alone, Montessori is implemented in thousands of schools, including over 600 public ones. Its main claim is that the pedagogy is closely aligned with developmental science and that given the appropriate environment, infants and children develop themselves. Yet studies of the outcomes of this form of education have thus far been scattered, with no intensive qualitative review to inform parents, teachers, administrators, researchers, and school districts of what we know about Montessori's outcomes. The Montessori Difference examines and synthesizes the existing body of research on the outcomes of Montessori education to consider the efficacy of a Montessori education. It introduces the main tenets of Montessori education; reviews academic outcomes in literacy, math, and social-emotional outcomes like executive function and wellbeing; and offers a primer on how to interpret research, including meta-analyses, the pros and cons of different research designs to study school outcomes, and effect sizes. In doing so, it dispels some of the myths of Montessori and considers the challenges and opportunities inherent in the broader implementation of Montessori schooling. Pointing out both weaknesses and strengths in the existing literature, Angeline Stoll Lillard weaves together evidence from the highest quality studies to conclude when and how the research suggests this century-old way of educating makes a difference in the outcomes of children.
