Book excerpt: In this seminal new work, Stephen Plank expertly navigates us through the wake of one school district’s attempt to desegregate its schools according to socioeconomic status. Drawing from his rich study of ten fourth-grade classrooms, Plank uncovers the ways that teachers’ leadership styles, tasks, and reward structures affect students’ peer relations. The synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data is especially creative, as are the practical implications presented here for administrators and teachers who want to encourage participation and well-being among students in heterogeneous classrooms. This informative book is crucial reading for anyone who cares about the inherent difficulties and rewards of achieving school reform and social justice.

Book excerpt: After moving to an affluent suburb of Denver in 1975, ninth-grader Tiphanie, the only Black girl in her new high school, feels out of place until she befriends another outsider--Jackie Sue, whose "trailer trash" home life makes Tiphanie's problems seem like a walk in the park. In October 1975, while most teens are worried about their Happy Days Halloween costumes, Tiphanie Jayne Baker has bigger problems. Her parents have just decided to uproot the family to the ritzy suburb of Brent Hills, Colorado, and now she's the only Black girl at a high school full of Barbies. But the longer Tiphanie stays in her new neighborhood, the more her ties to her old community start to fray. Now that nowhere feels like home, exactly where does she belong?

Book excerpt: Every person has been designed by God for one-of-a-kind Masterpiece Mission, what most people refer to as personal calling or personal purpose. Everyone needs to be able to name what God has put them on the earth to do. Most people never do. That is a tragedy of epic proportions. We need a simple way to discover that calling, and Find Your Place is that way. GPS technology is widely known as a way to know where you are on the earth, as well as a way to guide you to get where you want to go. The Find Your Place book will help followers of Jesus locate three signals that will help people discern their personal calling: their Gifts, their Passions, and their Story, and help them take meaningful next steps to engage that calling. Furthermore, the American Church has a Co-Dependency Disorder. Church members have become dependent upon church leaders, and church leaders need their members to remain that way. This co-dependence is doing more than throttling the vitality of the church...it is strangling it. In order for the people of God to truly thrive and be salt and light in the world, church leaders must move from simply "gathering and teaching" their members to "empowering and releasing them." This book, the accompanying online assessment, and the disciple-making tools that both will be integrated into, will all be a part of a turn-key solution for church leaders to accomplish that goal.

Book excerpt: The lineage of Jesus is full of surprising, imperfect people, but perhaps none more than the five women memorialized in Matthew 1. These women are not the expected matriarchs like Eve or Sarah or Rebecca, but the ones with hard, complicated stories. And every one of these women is just like us: resoundingly ordinary, tainted by sin, and yet unexpectedly used to change the world when they found their place in God's story. In this Get Wisdom Bible study, you are invited into the raw, empowering, astonishing stories of these five women: Tamar: A Woman Who Pursues What Is Right Rahab: A Woman Who Chooses Growth Ruth: A Woman Who Loves Radically Bathsheba: A Woman Who Claims Her Voice Mary: A Women Who Says Yes With Teresa Swanstrom Anderson's trademark warmth and accessibility, this study equips women to study Scripture for themselves and discover how to participate more fully in the story of God. Features: 5-session study with 3 days per session/week Complementary teaching videos from the author for small groups, corresponding with each week of the study Study can be used anytime, but theme of Jesus' lineage makes it great for use during Advent and Christmas Reflection questions and journaling prayer section for each day "History Lessons" providing background context Guidance on how to study the original languages of Scripture
