This book is concerned with re-imagining Religious Education (RE)
as this is practiced in schools, colleges and universities
throughout the UK and in a wide variety of international
educational contexts. On the basis of a critical analysis of
current theory and practice in RE the authors argue that this
educational framing is no longer plausible in the light of new
theoretical developments within the academy. A new educational
approach to RE is outlined that challenges students to think and
practice differently. This includes a 'becoming ethnographer'
approach that can acknowledge socio-material relations and engage
the broader literacies necessary for such study. Part One examines
how RE has been constructed as a discipline in historical and
spatial terms that abstract its study from material concerns. Part
Two offers some new starting points: Spinoza, Foucault and feminist
theory that differently foreground context and relationality, and
'Islam' read as a discursive, located tradition rather than as
'world view'. Finally, Part Three proposes a new trajectory for
research and practice in RE, with the aim of re-engaging schools,
colleges and universities in a dialogue that promotes thinking and
practice that - as educational - is continually in touch with the
need to be critical, open-ended and ethically justifiable.

Hermie doesn't have stripes. He doesn't have spots. In fact, he
doesn't have anything special like everyone else. But together with
his friend, Wormie, they talk to God about their troubles. Why do
they have to be so plain? Will they ever be special?
Master storyteller Max Lucado conveys deep truths of God's love
- how he makes each one unique - with simple, straightforward style
that even the youngest child can understand. With vivid and
heart-warming illustrations, it's the perfect way to engage young
minds with a spellbinding story and the message of God's special
purpose for each of His children.
Purity doesn't mean playing the game of How Far Is Too Far. A pure
life is a full life-one that goes way beyond the ideas of dating,
sex, and being a "good girl," and focuses instead on what it means
to be your true, powerful self. Purity can feel like a dirty word
sometimes. After all, who wants to be told what not to do, how not
to be, and who not to spend time with? Haven't we proven women are
smart, strong, and able to make their own decisions? But the
reality is, what we've always been taught about Christian purity
isn't 100 percent true. The idea has been twisted over the years
into a list of "don't" rules that have obscured the facts: that
purity empowers you to become who you were made to be, and it's
about a lot more than sex and dating. Here's the real truth: God
designed purity as a whole-life experience, where you have the
choice to follow your heart and be true to yourself as long as
you're also following his Word. With honest advice, real-life
examples, and tools to navigate the temptations and frustrations
you face every day (including dealing with those who don't respect
your boundaries), Pure Love, Pure Life meets you where you
are-wherever you are-to illustrate why living the pure life isn't
as constricting as it sounds, and how it's worth the effort. "This
nonfiction book is real and honest, and should be required reading
for teenage girls and their parents." - Christian Library Journal
Pure Love, Pure Life: looks at the idea of purity from a new angle,
focusing on the do's instead of the don'ts contains stories from
real girls who talk about their own purity decisions, and what
being pure means to them is for any girl looking to live a happy,
healthy life-no matter what they have or haven't done in the past
touches on issues relevant to a #metoo world

A Teacher's Guide to Science and Religion in the Classroom provides
practical guidance on how to help children access positive ways of
thinking about the relationship between science and religion.
Written for teachers of children from diverse-faith and non-faith
backgrounds, it explores key concepts, identifies gaps and common
misconceptions in children's knowledge, and offers advice on how to
help them form a deeper understanding of both science and religion.
Drawing on the latest research as well as the designs of successful
workshops for teachers and for children, there are activities in
each chapter that have been shown to help children understand why
science and religion do not necessarily conflict. The book
highlights children's interest in the so-called "Big Questions"
that bridge science and religion and responds to the research
finding that most children are missing ideas that are key to an
explanation of why science and religion can be harmonious. The book
explores key concepts and ideas including: Nature of science Power
and limits of science Evolution, genes and human improvement
Miracles, natural disasters and mystery Profiles of scientists,
including Galileo and Newton A Teacher's Guide to Science and
Religion is an essential companion for preservice and practising
teachers, providing session plans and pedagogic strategies,
together with a cohesive framework, that will support teachers in
fostering children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
What was that colourful puddle of goo before it melted? A box of
crayons, you say? That's right! This fun photo-puzzle book presents
eye-catching images of familiar things that have been smashed,
soaked, sliced or melted. It then challenges pre-readers to guess
what each thing was in its original state. With a turn of the page,
kids will discover the answer in photo form - and they'll be eager
to see what mysterious mess comes next!
Praying girls are strong girls, brave girls who know that their
worth lies in who God says they are, girls who trust him and know
that he always comes through. But how do we get our girls to see
prayer as more than just a thing they do when they go to bed? How
do we encourage them to see each moment spent with God as part of a
larger conversation and a deepening of the most important
relationship of their lives? With Praying Girls Devotional,
bestselling author Sheila Walsh offers girls ages 11 to 14 the
tools to begin a life of prayer. She helps them learn - to talk to
God in a simple and honest way - how to pray when they don't know
what to say - that God is listening and that no problem is too big
and no prayer too small - that prayer is a powerful weapon for
every girl - and so much more If you long to see your daughters,
granddaughters, nieces, and other girls in your life develop a
strong prayer life, this beautiful two-color devotional makes the
perfect gift for every girl.

This is the story of the girl to whom the Blessed Virgin appeared
as "a little young lady" and revealed herself as the Immaculate
Conception. Bernadette Soubirous lived with her family in the
abandoned jail of the little French village of Lourdes, never
dreaming that the very name of Lourdes would one day bring
inspiration and hope to millions. Bernadette studied her Catechism,
took care of her brothers and sisters, and gathered firewood -- and
no one knew she was a Saint. But one day, as she was gathering
wood, Our lady appeared. Within a few weeks, thousands were
kneeling in the field to pray to the Lady who could be seen and
heard only by Bernadette. This was the beginning of one of the
greatest Marian Shrines of modern times and of the miracles with
which Our Lady blessed her children.
