With characteristic gentleness and wisdom, Ann Lewin leads us on an
exploration of the seasons of Advent and Christmas which are rich
in imagery and themes to shape our faith. Advent speaks of our dual
identity as people of this world and as God's people. Come Emmanuel
explores how we can hold this in creative tension and learn to
relate our prayerfulness to everyday life. Ann opens up the depths
of some very ancient prayers - the Advent antiphons - and discovers
how much they can teach us for living as God's people today.
Commercially, Christmas may be over and done with on 25th, yet for
Christians it is a profound beginning that leads paradoxically into
death and suffering as on the days immediately following, the
Church commemorates Stephen, the first martyr, and the Massacre of
the Innocents. The baby in the manger will bring healing and
forgiveness, but only via the road to the cross.
Ann Lewin draws on her extensive experience as a retreat leader and
writer to provide a feast of spiritual nourishment for the entire
Christian year. Her minimalist style is intentional, allowing space
for people to encounter God and respond in their own way. Her aim
is to encourage readers to explore afresh the riches of God's love
and to find fresh ways of expressing that love. Seasons of Grace is
arranged in three parts: Advent to Candlemas, Lent to Pentecost,
and Ordinary time,and offers seasonal liturgies, prayers for
special occasions, imaginative ideas for worship, themed
reflections, programme ideas for workshops and retreats and
practical suggestions for enriching one's own spiritual life. Ann's
characteristic poems and prayers throughout are a delight. First
published in 2005 under the title Words by the Way by Inspire
(MPH), this new edition contains added new material.
'Love is the meaning' is the phrase chosen by the mystic 14th
century writer Julian of Norwich to encapsulate all that had been
revealed to her in the series of visions that led her to write one
of world's greatest spiritual books, her Revelations of Divine Love
which continues to inspire countless readers today. Its everyday
imagery and warm intimacy set it apart from other great spiritual
classics. Ann Lewin uses its homely qualities to provide the basis
for an exploration of our own experiences of the spiritual life,
and as we search for answers to life's big questions: How can we
hold fast to the truth of God's love in the face of suffering and
disaster?, Does prayer change anything?, How can Julian help us to
speak freshly about God to our world?, What do we do when God seems
far away and silent?, Can we actually believe that 'all will be
well' as Julian did? These and other questions are explored here

In her latest book, bestselling author Ann Lewin-Benham describes
eight techniques that foster intentional and reflective classroom
practice. She presents over 70 novel exercises to help teachers
learn to use body, face, hands, voice, eyes, and word choices to
precisely convey meaning. Some exercises are for teachers to
practice, while others build intention and reflection in children.
Dozens of scenarios from typical classroom situations contrast
unintentional and intentional teaching behaviors. A self-assessment
enables teachers to measure how intentional and reflective they
become as they learn to use the eight techniques. This lively and
often humorous resource is a companion to Lewin-Benham's Twelve
Best Practices for Early Childhood Education, which explains what
to teach and why. This new book explains how to teach.

In her new book, popular author Ann Lewin-Benham draws on her
intimate knowledge and experience with the Reggio Approach to
present 12 "best practices" inspired not only by Reggio, but also
by play-based and Montessori approaches to early childhood
education. These practices are demonstrated, one per chapter, with
scenarios from classrooms, dialogues of children and teachers, and
work samples showing the outcome of using each practice. Used
together, the 12 best practices offer a new framework for early
education. Written in the accessible style that her readers
appreciate, this book expands on Lewin-Benham's earlier works by
showing the foundations for teachers to practice the Reggio
Approach in their own settings. It introduces several new
techniques: fostering language skills through Meaningful
Conversation, designing inspiring environments, switching from a
scheduled to an Open Flow day, using materials to build brain
networks and stimulate Significant Work, and much more. This
important resource also includes a self-assessment tool, EXCEL, to
assist you in examining your practices and those of your school.
All chapters include key points and questions to help readers think
more deeply about the material presented.
