Becoming His Story


Book Description

We are participating in changes that will soon define this period in history! As followers of Jesus, we want to immerse ourselves in this living story while learning from Jesus, living like Jesus and leading like Jesus so we may apply his principles and become transformational participants in the best story ever told. Gaining God’s full blessing in partnership with what he is doing in our world today needs everyone engaged—not just some! It becomes our duty to help instill a sense of identity and worth in both genders in a Biblical way that will lead us to the full uninhibited potential of Christ’s church as we carry out his mandate. With a view towards helping us understand these principles by first identifying our own worldview, and better understanding the culture in which Jesus lived, the author applies the values of Jesus to the model for leadership today. Mary-Elsie Wolfe offers us a vision for the future that is leading-edge yet moderate, traditional yet progressive. Drawing upon key Bible stories of women in Jesus’ day, our view of the future is enlarged as believers as she looks at the prominence of women in the early church and then applies key principles in an effective way for our day. If we want to lead like Jesus, as Jesus defines leadership for us, we must apply these foundational leadership principles to our times while still wrapping everything in the truth of the love of God for his people and his work.







Beyond a Bake Sale


Book Description

How could a student cold-calling firms as part of a dare lead to securing venture capitalist funding? How could a small observation at the airport lead to the formation of a business dedicated to assisting the disabled? How could boredom in class lead to collaboration with the government to redesign public educational curricula? Over 50% of high schoolers volunteer, and 72% want to start a business some day. Yet students often miss out on the value of looking at social entrepreneurship - the intersection of forming a business and positively contributing to their community. In her book, Emily Yuan tackles the important elements of entrepreneurship through stories of students who changed the world by capitalizing on their passion and abilities. She answers the questions held by students who have the drive to create change but not the knowledge of how to take the next step like: - What does it take to start a company? - Will I be able to create a start-up while still in school? - How do social ventures differ from traditional start-ups? Beyond a Bake Sale inspires students to understand power of social entrepreneurship and how young people can create impact through business.




The Future of Teaching


Book Description

It’s time for the educational slugfest to stop. ‘Traditional’ and ‘progressive’ education are both caricatures, and bashing cartoon images of each other is unprofitable and unedifying. The search for a new model of education – one that is genuinely empowering for all young people – is serious and necessary. Some good progress has already been made, but teachers and school leaders are being held back by specious beliefs, false oppositions and the limited thinking of orthodoxy. Drawing on recent experience in England, North America and Australasia, but applicable round the world, The Future of Teaching clears away this logjam of bad science and slack thinking and frees up the stream of much-needed innovation. This timely book aims to banish arguments based on false claims about the brain and poor understanding of cognitive science, reclaim the nuanced middle ground of teaching that develops both rigorous knowledge and ‘character’, and lay the foundations for a 21st-century education worthy of the name.
