This monograph brings together important research that the author
and his colleagues at the University of New England have been
conducting into the early stages of reading development, and makes
a valuable contribution to the debate about literacy education. It
should appeal to a broad audience since it is written in an
entertaining and accessible style, with chapter summaries, and
where appropriate short tutorials in relevant topics, in particular
Learnability Theory (Chapter 1), levels of language structure
(Chapter 2) and writing systems (Chapter 2).
It will be of interest to experimental psychologists concerned with
the reading process, developmental psychologists interested in
cognitive growth, educational psychologists interested in the
application of experimental methods in the classroom situation, and
teachers and teacher educators.

One step at a time, Jesus slowly made His way toward the cross as
the culmination of His work on earth. Starting in Jericho, our
Lord's last week of life was a journey filled with unshakeable
hope, profound trust in the Father, an unswerving commitment to the
pain He had to endure, and an unfailing love for humanity. In Seven
Days to the Cross Brian Byrne examines the events leading up to
Jesus' crucifixion, weaving together the details of the four
Gospels and adding historical facts that round out the story of the
Messiah's final days on earth. In addition to the eye-opening
description of what Jesus experienced during the last week, Brian
reflects on what it means to take up our cross and follow Jesus. At
the end of each chapter, in a section titled "In His Footsteps,"
Brian contemplates what it would have been like to be with Jesus on
each of those last seven days and what principles we can all learn
from that experience. Brian invites readers to examine the biblical
record of Jesus' last seven days and develop a greater reverence
for the Lord rising out of a deeper personal understanding of what
the cross means in our lives.
Lord I Believe is an inspiring in-depth reflection of one man's
search to live by faith alone in God. Through a fascinating blend
of Scripture and personal experiences, Brian Byrne takes readers on
a spiritual journey to not only learn what faith is but to learn
what it means to live by faith every day. As a young man, Brian
struggled to find true joy in his relationship with God. He
attended church, led out in worship, and even served as a
missionary in India, but the real joy that comes from loving God
fully continued to elude him. Brian continued to struggle with his
search to find joy until one night, while kneeling in prayer with
his wife and a friend, God sent him the four words that would shape
the rest of his life, "It is by faith." Those four small words sent
Brian on an intense spiritual search to learn how to live every
aspect of his life by faith in God. His search took him from
examining what it meant for Jesus' twelve disciples to live by
faith, to what it means to live by faith now, in the
twenty-firstcentury. Through intense biblical and real-life
application, Lord I Believe proves to be an inspirational guide to
those trying to live by faith in today's world.
A paperboy hears and sees many things during his rounds in

stay hidden - and these stories describe what goes on behind closed
doors.
