    We wrote this book, Statistics for Psychology, specifically to serve as a resource for schooling and instruction. After spending several decades as a teacher of behavioural statistics, the author, who became widely known for his pedagogical prowess, intended to create a textbook that would apply the most effective classroom approaches to the written page. He did this by combining the textbook with the most effective classroom approaches. To achieve this, this book employs a variety of tactics, including timely pointing and highlighting devices, strategic reviews and reminders, a focus on the most pertinent content, and timely anticipating of the student's perspective. Additionally, Evans' technique emphasizes underlying logic and intuitive conceptions rather than sophisticated mathematical formulas and proofs, and it does so within the context of an engaging writing style. This contrasts other methods, which emphasize both of these aspects. One can say that there is a healthy balance between conceptual and computational aspects across the entirety of the object. This work is suitable for students taking their first course in behavioural statistics. After experiencing this subject, the reader will be better prepared for advanced courses and direct applications. We also provide internet links to complimentary additional supplements at www.ebookslimited.com to enhance your reading experience. Teachers of behavioural statistics and their students are the intended beneficiaries of these supplements.

    “In this marvelously accessible book, philosopher-Christian Jim Stump provides the reader with new eyes for a journey through time, the origin of the soul, suffering, and morality, and reveals how the latest scientific findings about what it means to be human have led him to a deeper and more authentic faith.”—Francis S. Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project and Founder of BioLogos, author of The Language of God 
    A thought-provoking and eye-opening work by Jim Stump, Vice President at BioLogos and host of the Language of God podcast, offering a compelling argument about how evolution does not have to be at odds with faith, but can actually enrich and deepen it. 
    In this moving and deeply thoughtful book, Jim Stump takes readers with him on his journey to understanding evolution and reconciling it with his faith. The Sacred Chain draws on philosophy, theology, and the latest scientific research to tackle some of the biggest questions facing humanity and people of faith today, such as:How can we hold the Bible as a sacred text and yet reconcile modern science with it?By condensing noteworthy events in the history of our universe into one calendar week, what can we learn about God’s creative process and priorities, and where humans fit in?If humans are created in the image of God, what does evolution have to teach us about our species and our place in creation?What about the soul? How can we understand our transcendent qualities if the human body is the product of evolution?How does evolutionary science help us understand how God might use pain and suffering for important and good purposes?Does it have to be one or the other—science or religion—or is there a third way, one that not only preserves faith in the face of modern science, but leads to a stronger, more relevant, and more authentic faith? 
    Deeply researched and a delight to read, The Sacred Chain provides clarity in our uncertain times, revealing a bigger picture of our world and our place within it. It is a panorama consistent with the scientific findings about who we are and where we come from that can actually bolster our faith as it engages our curiosity about ourselves, our universe, and the nature of existence itself.
