"The final work from one of the most beloved voices in American education explores stories and lessons of transformative experiences in education
For more than a generation, American education has been structured as though it was built of and for concepts, not people. This has transformed education into a vast assessment, scoring, and ranking enterprise; a sales platform for high-tech entrepreneurs; and a fiercely competitive arena of advantage and status that grinds the poor and propels the middle class into debt.
In When the Light Goes On, educator Mike Rose features the stories of people of all ages and backgrounds to illuminate how education has added meaning to their lives. The inspiring stories include:
- A supermarket checker whose job wore away his soul takes a remedial math class that starts him on a path to architecture school
- A young man badly injured in a motorcycle accident finds both rehabilitation and a career in a welding program
- A transgender youth's odyssey to self-definition extends though courses in social sciences and campus advocacy groups
- A Native American athlete finds graduate study as a way to use her celebrity to articulate the needs of her people
When the Light Goes On helps us dig through the discord and fragmentation of school politics and policy to reclaim the mind and heart of education. Through various students' stories and his own, Rose provides an urgent reminder of the core purpose of education: to learn about ourselves and the world around us, to spark new interests, and to experience with guidance both the fulfillment and the uncertainty of exploring our limits-all in the service of creating a meaningful life."
"'I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.' —Psalm 16:7 (ESV)
Every day runs its course, and all tasks but one must come to an end: to search God and know Him. Of this there can be no end.
In these 366 daily reflections on the wonder of God and the way of His Word, Tozer prompts us to seek God earnestly and love Him with our whole heart. Known for his steadfast devotion and incisive ponderings upon the Christian life, A. W. Tozer is a wise and trustworthy counselor.
As the daylight dims and the night winds down, let Evenings with Tozer rest your heart in God’s eternal wisdom.
'Tozer is one of the great Christian writers of this century. Reading him is like drinking at an oasis in the desert.'
—Dr. J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada"
"'Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.' —Psalm 143:8 (NIV)
Grab your coffee, find your favorite chair, and begin your day with guidance from A. W. Tozer.
Many of these 366 devotional readings come from sermons Tozer preached close to his death in 1963, marking them with a deep concern for spiritual intimacy and true worship. He urges you to pursue God, confess sin, pray fervently, and seek the Spirit. Let this book be a garnish in your feast of God’s Word.
As you welcome the morning light and all the sights and sounds of the new day, let Mornings with Tozer awaken your heart."
"'Someone once noted that God made us in His image, and ever since we have tried to do God a favor by making Him in our image.'
It’s easy to speak to others about the Jesus who cared for the poor, healed the sick, and preached love and justice for the least of these. But what about the God who tells the Israelites to wage war and kill entire people groups? Or threatens exile and then delivers? Or sends people to hell? Can these really be the same God?
The simple answer is, yes. God in His Own Image takes you on a journey through the Bible exploring God’s true nature. You’ll study instances of great mercy and great severity, and by the end, you’ll begin to see why both God’s compassion and his wrath are necessary, important, and even beautiful.
Get to know the God who is both Lion and Lamb, both Judge and Father, both kind and severe, and perfect in every way."
"Every work of literature has its merits, its downfalls, its high points and low points. Every work of writing has its own unique characteristics that make it memorable and, above all, enjoyable. Benefits of this particular work include:
• Integrated elements of the science fiction genre with the ability to please fans while still accommodating the different tastes of readers who favor other genres. Veteran readers of science fiction will be pleased by traditional elements. Others will be able to experience its merits without annoyance.
• A first person perspective which allows readers a greater ability to feel the emotions, confusion, and experiences of the characters. Though the narrator may be the traditional stereotype of the “unreliable narrator,” the limited knowledge of situations allows readers to feel they have greater involvement in the occurrences of the story.
• A fast-paced style allowing for description even as it keeps the story moving in an interesting, engaging fashion.
• Inclusion of a universal theme that, though expressed through events that occur in the future, is still highly applicable to the world of today. Readers will be able to view the events of the short story as a warning of the future that will come to be if the illustrated morals are not observed.

"“Little Pests” is a suspense horror story that pits a woman and her young daughter against a suddenly and violently unhinged pest control technician, who has sinister plans for the woman and the girl whose home he is working in. Although he enters their house with no ill intentions, it seems as though the chemicals he works with are affecting his mental state and thought processes. “Little Pests” includes:
• An introduction and complete portrayal of both character sets (the mother and daughter as well as the exterminator),
• A woman who will find out that there are worse things in the world than cockroach infestations,
• A man, understandably concerned about losing his job, coming closer and closer to the brink of madness,
• A terrifying conflict that ensues between Exterminator and the family.
The story starts with horror almost right from the beginning; although with it coming from a very different source than it does later. There isn’t a single moment that isn’t at least slightly tinged with dread, and it’s hard to say who feels it more, the exterminator or the family he terrorizes. Either way, it proves to be a grueling experience for all involved, and the reader gets to watch it all unfold.
