Teaching and Testimony


Book Description

By utilizing the testimonial narrative of Rigoberta Menchú—a Mayan-Quiché of Guatemala and winner of the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize—teachers in this volume engage students in vital and relevant cross-cultural learning in a variety of locations, disciplines, and levels. Teaching and Testimony tells teachers' stories of using Menchu's testimonial in their classrooms, and invites reflection on the transformative possibility of integrating previously marginalized voices. Energized by the teaching of Menchu's testimonial narrative, I, Rigoberta Menchú, these teachers let their guard down, wrestle with the immediate difficulties and possibilities of multicultural teaching, and speak with passion about the importance of what they and their students are learning.

On Christian Teaching


Book Description

Christian teachers have long been thinking about what content to teach, but little scholarship has been devoted to how faith forms the actual process of teaching. Is there a way to go beyond Christian perspectives on the subject matter and think about the teaching itself as Christian? In this book David I. Smith shows how faith can and should play a critical role in shaping pedagogy and the learning experience.




The Spirit of Victory


Book Description

Have you ever have you ever met somebody who always ended up on top no matter how bad the circumstances were. Have you ever seen somebody go through the worst experience but somehow made it through to the other side. True Victory is not defined by avoiding defeat but overcoming and enduring it. True Victory isn't fleeting but lifelong. A truly victorious person isn't someone who just wins a battle but someone who conquers the war. Well, Jesus has already won the War and he holds the keys to victory. With the keys to victory we are promised Victory every time, however Victory is a faith process. I once heard it said that you can either give a man a fish and satisfy him for a meal or you can teach him to fish and satisfy him for a lifetime. When I was fifteen years old when God taught me victory. When God taught me the principles and the process of victory I knew that I had obtained something invaluable... ever since then there has been no battle in my life lost, or no defeat that ever has been able to hold me.Join me as I revisit the vision of victory and dive into a prophetic, faith filled experience where God literally visited me on the track in a high school race and called me into ministry mid stride. I first wrote this Testimony in my Journal at fifteen years old. Self published the story in college and sold copies at conferences. Now I bring the third edition of this true Testimony to you! Follow me through the process of this promise, I believe the keys and lessons in this book will inspire and empower you to overcome some of your most challenging trials.




Testimony


Book Description

In this unique collection, Yale literary critic Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub examine the nature and function of memory and the act of witnessing, both in their general relation to the acts of writing and reading, and in their particular relation to the Holocaust. Moving from the literary to the visual, from the artistic to the autobiographical, and from the psychoanalytic to the historical, the book defines for the first time the trauma of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing "the unprecedented historical occurrence of...an event eliminating its own witness." Through the alternation of a literary and clinical perspective, the authors focus on the henceforth modified relation between knowledge and event, literature and evidence, speech and survival, witnessing and ethics.
