Mary Gautreaux and husband Eli have been instrumental in Chi Alpha campus ministries, serving 27 years at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Together, they have led thousands of students to Christ, and have established a ministry based on personal relationships that has raised up scores of young men and woman for service as missionaries, pastors, campus ministers and lay leaders in locations around the world.Her experience as soulwinner, mentor and confidant to new converts makes Mary Gautreaux an ideal candidate to write about needed disciplines in the life of every believer. "Discipline is restoring order to disorder in the mind, body and spirit of a follower of Jesus," she writes. "Discipline is the means to bringing and maintaining godly order in our lives. We must realize that true freedom is not the lack of boundaries. Real freedom comes from consistently living within safe and healthy boundaries."It is these disciplines which help Christians grow and mature in their relationship with Jesus, the author affirms. Learning to control sinful tendencies, put aside wasteful and destructive habits and make God-centered decisions makes any Christian a more effective steward of time, talents and resources-and able to live a more fruitful life for the glory of God.Kingdom Minded by Mary Gautreaux is an excellent tool for self-examination, but is also intended for group study and discussion. It is published in the hope it will be useful to the Body of Christ on college campuses, churches, prisons and jails, military bases-anywhere disciples of Christ feel the stirring to grow deeper and more fruitful in their relationship with God.

For generations most churchgoers have been encouraged to see the responsibility for the life and mission of the church in the hands of the trained clergy. A church embracing God’s call to mission requires these same worshipers to see themselves as ‘missionary disciples’ with a vital part to play in the church’s ministry. How is a change of this magnitude to be accomplished? Drawing on the discipline of adult education and his own research into the way people learn, David Heywood explains how churches can become learning communities in which people grow as disciples and find their place in a collaborative pattern of ministry. He challenges the prevailing approach to ministerial training as overly theoretical and individualistic, and points towards a model of training based around shared reflection on practice.

An introduction to a broad range of topics in deep learning, covering mathematical and conceptual background, deep learning techniques used in industry, and research perspectives. “Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject.” —Elon Musk, cochair of OpenAI; cofounder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. The hierarchy of concepts allows the computer to learn complicated concepts by building them out of simpler ones; a graph of these hierarchies would be many layers deep. This book introduces a broad range of topics in deep learning. The text offers mathematical and conceptual background, covering relevant concepts in linear algebra, probability theory and information theory, numerical computation, and machine learning. It describes deep learning techniques used by practitioners in industry, including deep feedforward networks, regularization, optimization algorithms, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, and practical methodology; and it surveys such applications as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and videogames. Finally, the book offers research perspectives, covering such theoretical topics as linear factor models, autoencoders, representation learning, structured probabilistic models, Monte Carlo methods, the partition function, approximate inference, and deep generative models. Deep Learning can be used by undergraduate or graduate students planning careers in either industry or research, and by software engineers who want to begin using deep learning in their products or platforms. A website offers supplementary material for both readers and instructors.

Where have all the disciples gone? There is a missing force in Christianity today. It’s a critical one, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without it, we lack what we need to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth. That missing force is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn: What a disciple is What a disciple cares about How to be a disciple and make disciples What discipleship looks like in community What the impact of discipleship on the world can be Kingdom disciples are in short supply, and the result is a legion of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, having a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship. Kingdom Disciples calls believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment? Kingdom Disciples isuseful as base material for a course on discipleship.

This report is part of a series of OECD country reports which review the main barriers to employment for older people and make policy recommendations for further action. This report on the UK finds that, although the labour market has performed well over the past two decades, in common with many OECD countries it is facing a number of major social and economic challenges arising from population ageing. The government has introduced a series of reforms to pensions, social benefits and labour markets to address these issues, but more needs to be done. The report makes a number of recommendations to help develop a comprehensive strategy which covers measures to enhance work incentives embedded in the welfare system, as well as actions on the demand-side. Topics discussed include: demographic trends and potential socio-economic repercussions, the labour market behaviour of older workers, balancing factors of flexibility and hours worked, the UK's retirement system, income security and work incentives for older people.
