A multipurpose book written with several motives and purposes: I.
to serve as an inspirational and provocative scriptural study guide
and a prayer prompter, II. to inspire beginning preachers to
scripturally examine and research the authority and dominion
they've been given to exercise in their daily environs, III. to
encourage unchurched \ unsaved readers to invite Jesus into their
lives as their personal Savior and daily companion. IV. to prompt
young people NOT to judge the validity of salvation on the basis of
prevailing negative attitudes about church, but encouraged to
personally examine and evaluate worldly daily offerings to
determine their positive and rewarding eternal benefits. V. to
convince Christians that they have the potential to change the
atmosphere wherever they are and to demonstrate attributes of
godliness and exude HIS presence with whomever they interact.
Bringing together academic and practitioner points of view, this
edited collection shows how violence enters into ordinary, routine
practices of childhood and children's experiences. The contributing
authors seek to understand how violence is enacted against children
in infancy, adolescence, in school, in care, at home and on the
street.
Building on the ideas developed in Word Nerds: Teaching All
Students to Learn and Love Vocabulary, Brenda J. Overturf has
updated and energized the recommended practices for middle grades
students. Vocabularians is for any educator who wants to help young
adolescents increase knowledge and competency with word study while
bringing interest, motivation, and even joy to their
learning.Brenda takes teachers and administrators inside three
middle-level schools where educators are integrating vocabulary
instruction across the curriculum. In rural, urban, and suburban
settings, she highlights effective ways to develop students'
vocabulary skills using art, music, games, technology, reading,
writing, speaking, listening, and critical thinking. Vocabularians
shows teachers of all content areas how to build word networks,
flood the classroom environment with academic vocabulary, and
incorporate the three word-solving strategies that researchers have
found to be the most important-teaching students how to use
context; deciphering words by breaking down prefixes, suffixes, and
root words; and using reference materials in authentic ways.By
blending current research with real classroom experience and
application, Brenda builds on her work with Margot Holmes Smith and
Leslie Montgomery and offers an easy-to-implement,
customized-to-middle-school resource that will improve instruction
and assessment. As one featured seventh grader shared: "Vocabulary
helps you because the more you know words, the more fluent you can
be in reading, the better you can read and write, and the better
your writing sounds. There's always going to be a time when you
have to sound professional, whether you're applying for a job or
anything else. You're just going to have to know how to use a good
vocabulary."

James Montgomery's new translation of Don Quixote is the fourth
already in the twenty-first century, and it stands with the best of
them. It pays particular attention to what may be the hardest
aspect of Cervantes's novel to render into English: the humorous
passages, particularly those that feature a comic and original use
of language. Cervantes would be proud. --Howard Mancing, Professor
of Spanish, Purdue University and Vice President, Cervantes Society
