An Unforgettable Story of Life After Death "The cold voice of the
anesthesiologist recited the typical 'count backward from 10'
cadence. Darkness closed around me before he got to 7. That's when
I found out what it's like to die--and to come back from the dead."
It was a beautiful winter's day, showing no signs of what was to
come. Steve Sjogren, pastor of one of America's fastest growing
churches, went into the hospital for routine gall bladder surgery
and died--twice. What began as a tragic medical accident led to
Steve's encounter with death, an experience of unimaginable peace
and some surprises, with comforting words from God, a meeting with
an angel, and seeing those who had died before him. If you, or
someone you know, are fearful of dying, curious about heaven, or
simply desiring to live life to its fullest, this encouraging book
could change how you view life and death.
The issue of baptism has troubled Protestants for centuries. Should
infants be baptized before their faith is conscious, or does God
command the baptism of babies whose parents have been baptized?
Popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight makes a biblical case
for infant baptism, exploring its history, meaning, and practice
and showing that infant baptism is the most historic Christian way
of forming children into the faith. He explains that the church's
practice of infant baptism developed straight from the Bible and
argues that it must begin with the family and then extend to the
church. Baptism is not just an individual profession of faith: it
takes a family and a church community to nurture a child into faith
over time. McKnight explains infant baptism for readers coming from
a tradition that baptizes adults only, and he counters criticisms
that fail to consider the role of families in the formation of
faith. The book includes a foreword by Todd Hunter and an afterword
by Gerald McDermott.
With the increasing emphasis on standards based, assessment driven
education in American public schools, teachers are pushing back
with research and methodology that says otherwise. An environmental
science class consisting of 34 high school seniors participated in
this study, which evaluated the success of journaling in regards to
four hypothesis' concerning experiential learning. Experiential
learning is student centered and is built upon the theories of
Dewey, Piaget, Hahn, and Kolb. Student journal entries were
transcribed, broken down and paired with Kolb's model with the hope
of showing how successful journaling promoted learning through
Kolb's model. Evidence was also sought of critical thinking, social
development, and the validity of using journals as a means of
assessment. Using evidence directly from student journals, along
with student attitude surveys and teacher observations, journaling
was found to be overall effective at promoting learning.
