Winner of AM&P EXCEL Gold Award ""They don't care about their education."" ""They are not capable of learning."" ""I can't work with them."" ""I can't get through to them.""

""I can't work with her."" ""I can't get through to him."" While all students in your class, building, or school district need your support, the Black and Latino male students-the most underserved, suspended, and expelled students in education-need you to understand them as you support them so that they can thrive academically.

Can you free yourself from the bondage of your past mistakes and learn to develop an identity in Christ? After a lifetime of regret, Robert "Stonewall" Jackson asked himself these hard questions, and the answers he found radically altered his world.

With writing that is honest and self-disclosing, The Life and Legend of Robert "Stonewall" Jackson reveals how Jackson overcame drugs, addiction, and mental and physical war trauma to emerge a survivor. What's more, it shares the awesome power of how developing a relationship with Christ held the key to his success.

He explores the doubts, fears, and perplexities he experienced and demonstrates how he found comfort and guidance in his faith. Today an award-winning bodybuilder and caregiver to his grandchildren, Jackson is committed to a close relationship with Christ and a strong dedication to total body fitness.

No matter what age or life journey you are currently experiencing, God's grace and the value of believing in yourself can turn things around. Let Jackson's story inspire and motivate you to change your life

I want to share with you some thoughts concerning the life of David. Just like you and I, David faced circumstances and obstacles in life that had the potential to detour him. I view each of these encounters as a place on the roadmap of life. That place declares where we are in our walk with God and gives reference to our potential of fulfilling His will and purpose in and for our lives. In other words, where we are in Him is important. Each step of a righteous man is ordered of God. It is important for us to understand that God will tell us each step to be taken. It is equally important to accept that God uses each of those steps to confirm his leading us to that place of righteousness in Him.

Religion, Education, Dialogue and Conflict analyses the European Commission-funded REDCo project, which addressed the question of how religions might contribute to dialogue or conflict in Europe. Researchers in education from eight countries ? the UK, Estonia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the Russian Federation, Norway and Spain ? studied how young Europeans of different religious, cultural and political backgrounds could engage in dialogue in the context of the school.

Empirical studies conducted with 14-16 year old students included them offering their own perspectives and analyses of teaching and learning in both dialogue and conflict situations. Although there were some different national patterns and trends, most students wished for peaceful coexistence across differences, andbelieved this to be possible. The majority agreed that peaceful coexistence depended on knowledge about each other's religions and worldviews, sharing common interests and doing things together. The project found that students who learn about religious diversity in school are more willing to discuss religions and beliefs with students of other backgrounds than those who do not.

The international range of expert contributors to this book evaluate the results of the REDCo project, providing examples of its qualitative and quantitative studies and reflecting on the methods and theory used in the project as a whole.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the British Journal of Religious Education.

You cannot know Robert Jackson very long before you are aware of his passion for Jesus.

He begins to open up Joseph's life to declare in this book, HERE'S THE MAN

No one wants to be viewed as a failure. You were created to dream and given gifts to make that dream happen. As God declares His will for our lives we begin to make a plan to achieve or reach for that will. However, unplanned disruptions seem to build roadblocks to that destiny or the fulfillment of our dream. Are they roadblocks? Are these disruptions keeping us from God's will? We begin to question have we really heard from God? Did we miss something in what I thought was God's plan for me?

In this book about Joseph, you will find principles that can help you to understand how God, the Father moves from declaring His will to taking us unto the plan of fulfilling that will. The important insights and illumination in this book from God's Word can alter our mindset, keep us from fighting the plan God has for us, and alter the circumstances of your life and bring a change that will positively impact you and your family. You will be challenged and changed as you see how God finally declares to Egypt and the world "HERE'S THE MAN"
