Jesus trained a handful of ordinary people to follow Him as He
established God's kingdom on earth. His primary training method was
intimate, personal conversations on a friend-to-friend basis. As
they walked along, in the daily routines of life, He taught them
the practical principles of the Kingdom. He then commissioned them
to go and make disciples of all nations by teaching others what
they had learned. He still calls believers today to accept this
'great commission', but at times it seems that the work of
discipleship is more about public proclamation than personal
relationships and conversation. Churches today house hundreds of
believers, but few true disciples. Making disciples is more than
witnessing to nonbelievers. It is about building authentic
relationships with our Christian friends and helping each other
follow Jesus one discussion, one conversation, one heart-to-heart
talk at a time. Making Disciples-One Conversation at a Time
discusses the importance of having redemptive conversations and
demonstrates how to turn our meaningless chatter into a means of
grace, helping our friends become all God intends them to be and
enriching their lives and ours in the process. Author Michael
Henderson explains how practicing the disciplines of attentive
listening, appropriate questioning, Scripture application, and
praying with our friends, will allow us to not only fulfill
Christ's request to make disciples but also follow His commandment
to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and your
neighbor as yourself. Making Disciples-One Conversation at a Time
challenges us to examine how we use our words and presents ways to
bring Christ into the conversations of our everyday lives to give
those around us a better understanding of God and His love for
them.

For decades, the Louisiana political scene has been a source of
interest and intrigue for scholars and casual observers alike. In
recent years, the state's political, economic, and environmental
challenges have drawn sustained attention from regional and
national media. Observers have typically focused on Louisiana's
distinctive political culture, including jungle primaries, colorful
candidates, and tolerance for scandal. However, recent shifts have
eroded the state's unique political character, aligning it with
national political trends of partisan realignment, political
polarization, and outside influence in state and local elections.
The Party Is Over brings together top scholars, journalists, and
policy analysts to investigate these recent shifts in institutions,
politics, and policy and situate them in the context of national
politics. Both accessible and thorough, the volume offers an
informed and reliable foundation for those new to Louisiana's
political culture and for long-time observers seeking new insights
into recent developments. Contributors recognize the challenges
posed by the new politics and point toward opportunities to
leverage the state's cultural and economic strengths to build a
better Louisiana.
Additional burial areas for the parish of St James Westminster in
the 17th to 18th century were excavated in 2008–9. As the
northern part of the parish around Soho grew and its population
increased from the mid 17th century, pressure mounted on burial
space in the churchyard on Piccadilly and on existing support
structures for the least fortunate members of society. In response,
the lower ground (the early extramural burial ground, 1695–1733)
and the upper ground (the later extramural burial ground,
1733–90) were opened in succession, along with the new workhouse
complex (1725–1913) and the workhouse burial ground (1733–93).
In the later 19th to 20th century public baths were constructed
over part of the site and the workhouse was repurposed and then
redeveloped. The three burial areas were used intensively and a
total of 2553 burials were recorded. Intra-site comparisons
exploring demographic and health profiles show a higher proportion
of adult females in the workhouse population and a
disproportionately low number of childhood deaths across all three
grounds. Full osteological analysis of 1786 skeletons revealed the
wide range of conditions afflicting the buried population. Higher
overall rates of pathological bone conditions, including infectious
disease and trauma, were identified, however, in the workhouse
burials when compared to the extramural grounds. Together with
historical and archaeological evidence, these results and those
from comparative contemporary sites help place the lives of the
urban poor and destitute within the wider context of the 17th and
18th centuries.

This book asks how we might conceptualise, design for and evaluate
the impact of feedback in higher education. Ultimately, the purpose
of feedback is to improve what students can do: therefore,
effective feedback must have impact. Students need to be actively
engaged in seeking, sense-making and acting upon any information
provided to them in order to develop and improve. Feedback can thus
be understood as not just the giving of information, but as a
complex process integral to teaching and learning in which both
teachers and students have an important role to play. The editors
challenge us to ask two fundamental questions: when does feedback
make a difference, and how can we recognise that impact? This
volume draws together leading international researchers across
diverse disciplines, offering promising directions for both
research and practice.
Modern Liverpool Street was once on the margins of London: the
story of its development - from the medieval marsh of Moorfields to
municipal, non-parochial, burial ground and later suburb - is
illustrated by archaeological investigations undertaken as part of
the Crossrail Central development. Excavation also recovered a
wealth of well-preserved artefactual evidence for the local
inhabitants, from the 16th century to the 19th-century households
of Brokers Row. The New Churchyard, or 'Bethlem' as it was later
known, was established after the severe plague of 1563 and was in
use from 1569 to 1739; archaeological evidence suggests c 25,000
people in total were buried here. Contemporary accounts and parish
registers, combined with tombstones and detailed osteological
analysis of one quarter of the 3354 burials excavated, enable the
reconstruction of some of their lives, and their deaths. They
included migrants, many of the city's poor and those on the fringes
of society. Some were the victims of recurrent epidemics and
outbreaks of plague - confirmed by the identification of the plague
pathogen in five skeletons - when mass, but orderly, graves were
dug

During the 18th century the expansion of the wealthy London parish
of St Marylebone led to the development of two additional
graveyards to relieve pressure on the church and churchyard on
Marylebone High Street. The latest of these, on the north side of
Paddington Street, was in use between 1772 and 1853. Archaeologists
recorded 386 burials from 124 single, stacked and brick-lined
graves at the western edge of this ground. The archaeological
findings and detailed osteological analysis of 291 individuals are
combined with documentary research to provide a fascinating account
of a burial ground used predominantly by the middle and upper
classes.
Offering dramatic evidence of the transformative power of
forgiveness, No Enemy to Conquer shares the stories of people of
diverse faiths and cultures who, despite all odds, found the
courage to reconcile with their enemies. Gathering the voices of
Desmond Tutu, Benazir Bhutto, Rajmohan Gandhi, Jonathan Sacks, the
Dalai Lama, and others, Henderson's masterful anthology is an
inspiring step toward a geopolitics of mercy.
Whether used as a political tactic to discredit news stories and
media outlets, or as a description of false information
manufactured and circulated for profit, the term ""fake news""
holds a particularly caustic sway in twenty-first-century society.
A frequent subject of cable news broadcasts, periodical coverage,
and social media chatter, and a constant talking point for
political pundits, its impact spans from shaping minor differences
in partisanship to influencing elections. In Fake News! Josh Grimm
gathers a range of critical approaches to provide an essential
resource for readers, students, and teachers interested in
understanding this ever-present feature of today's media and
political landscape. The opening section surveys the long history
of fake news, with examples ranging from seventeenth-century
satires of early newspapers to propaganda efforts in Nazi Germany,
and then traces the evolution of the term over time. The following
section explores how exposure to fake news impacts individuals,
with particular emphasis on changes in popular discourse and the
ability to assess sources critically. Essays in this section also
highlight approaches developed by newsrooms and other
organisations, including Facebook and Google, to fight the
widespread dissemination of fake news. The volume pairs original
research with articles from prominent scholarly journals, offering
a wide-ranging and accessible discussion of debates central to the
current post-truth era, covering topics such as social media, the
Onion, InfoWars, media literacy, and the radicalization of white
men. By highlighting key components and practical methods for
examining misinformation in the media, Fake News! presents in-depth
analysis of a topic that remains more timely than ever.
Teaching and Digital Technologies: Big Issues and Critical
Questions helps both pre-service and in-service teachers to
critically question and evaluate the reasons for using digital
technology in the classroom. Unlike other resources that show how
to use specific technologies - and quickly become outdated, this
text empowers the reader to understand why they should (or should
not) use digital technologies, when it is appropriate (or not), and
the implications arising from these decisions. The text directly
engages with policy, the Australian Curriculum, pedagogy, learning
and wider issues of equity, access, generational stereotypes and
professional learning. The contributors to the book are notable
figures from across a broad range of Australian universities,
giving the text a unique relevance to Australian education while
retaining its universal appeal. Teaching and Digital Technologies
is an essential contemporary resource for early childhood, primary
and secondary pre-service and in-service teachers in both local and
international education environments.
