Where a Man Stands: Two Different Worlds, An Impossible Situation, and the Unexpected Friendship that Changed Everything
by Carter Paysinger Steven FentonWhen Beverly Hills High School welcomed a skinny boy from the other side of the tracks, no one knew just how life-changing the decision would be, not just for Carter Paysinger but for all of Beverly Hills.Carter grew up hearing his parents say, “Don’t just strive to be good. Always strive to be great.” He dreamed of finding greatness in playing professional baseball or becoming a black Donald Trump, but fate had different plans and, ultimately, he found his calling as a teacher and coach at the school that once embraced him, becoming a rock for the innumerable kids who came seeking an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. One such kid, a scrappy Jewish boy from a prominent family, would change the course of Carter’s life. His name was Steven Fenton. Twenty years later, as Beverly Hills High fell into disarray—with principals hired and fired and families fleeing the school—as well as his own life coming apart, Carter ran into Steven Fenton again. Together, they found renewed passion and hope to fight for their school and test the limits of what community means. But when Steven convinced Carter to throw his hat into the ring as principal, the progressive Beverly Hills suddenly thought that its winningest and most beloved coach didn’t fit the profile for the Beverly Hills image. It was the beginning of a long road, but Carter could hear his father saying, “Don’t listen to those voices. Do what you have to do.” Filled with hope, triumph, and the struggles that come to define us, Where a Man Stands is a beautiful fish-out-of-water story about the families formed in unlikely places and how, in the end, where you stand, and with whom, and for what, matters as much as anything.

Where is the Mathematics in Your Math Education Research?: Personal Accounts of Leading Educators (Research in Mathematics Education)
by Xiaoheng Kitty Yan Ami Mamolo Igor’ KontorovichThis book brings together leading researchers in mathematics education to share personal narratives of key mathematical moments or ideas that inspired, surprised, or helped direct their research. While the fruits of research activities and products are shared at scholarly conference and journals, the footprints of mathematics that ignited the research processes is often behind the scenes and only acknowledged informally. To make mathematics – an essential component and a determining driving force of mathematics education research – more visible, chapters in this book highlight the indispensable and indisputable role of mathematics in mathematics education research. The book is unique and timely in addressing the essential, but increasingly side-lined, role of mathematics that permeates mathematics education research journals, graduate programs, and the personae of the next generation in the profession. It renounces the shift away from mathematics and attempts to restore the place and value of mathematics by presenting elegant, intriguing, and substantial contributions to mathematics education that have come from keeping mathematics at the core of research pursuits. Each chapter shares a journey in mathematics education research that was inspired by an affinity for mathematics, and that helped shaped the field as we know it. Each author shares insights and reflections on the status of mathematics in the mathematics education community, how it has changed, and what further changes might be expected. This edited volume is of major interest to the mathematics education community, including mathematics educators, teacher educators, researchers, professional development providers, and graduate students.

Where the Children Take Us: How One Family Achieved the Unimaginable
by Zain E. AsherIn this spellbinding memoir, popular CNN anchor Zain E. Asher pays tribute to her mother’s strength and determination to raise four successful children in the shadow of tragedy. Awaiting the return of her husband and young son from a road trip, Obiajulu Ejiofor receives shattering news. There’s been a fatal car crash, and one of them is dead. In Where the Children Take Us, Obiajulu’s daughter, Zain E. Asher, tells the story of her mother’s harrowing fight to raise four children as a widowed immigrant in South London. There is tragedy in this tale, but it is not a tragedy. Drawing on tough-love parenting strategies, Obiajulu teaches her sons and daughters to overcome the daily pressures of poverty, crime and prejudice—and much more. With her relentless support, the children exceed all expectations—becoming a CNN anchor, an Oscar-nominated actor—Asher’s older brother Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave)—a medical doctor, and a thriving entrepreneur. The generations-old Nigerian parenting techniques that lead to the family's salvation were born in the village where young Obiajulu and Arinze meet with their country on the brink of war. Together, they emigrate to London in the 1970s to escape the violence, but soon confront a different set of challenges in the West. When grief threatens to engulf her fractured family after the accident, Obiajulu, suddenly a single mother in a foreign land, refuses to accept defeat. As her children veer down the wrong path, she instills a family book club with Western literary classics, testing their resolve and challenging their deeper understanding. Desperate for inspiration, she plasters newspaper clippings of Black success stories on the walls and hunts for overachieving neighbors to serve as role models, all while running Shakespeare theatre lines with her son and finishing homework into the early morning with Zain. When distractions persist, she literally cuts the TV cord and installs a residential pay phone.The story of a woman who survived genocide, famine, poverty, and crushing grief to rise from war torn Africa to the streets of South London and eventually the drawing rooms of Buckingham Palace, Where the Children Take Us is an unforgettable portrait of strength, tenacity, love, and perseverance embodied in one towering woman.

by Mark S. SmithThe issue of how to represent God is a concern both ancient and contemporary.

Where's the Wonder in Elementary Math?: Encouraging Mathematical Reasoning in the Classroom
by Judith McVarishThis book argues that even in today's high-stakes testing environment, 'teaching to the test' need not be teachers’ only focus as they introduce young children to mathematics. Judith McVarish demonstrates how building a community of learners and using problem solving to engage students can help teachers encourage students’ disposition to creative thinking and reasoning—skills that can otherwise become lost due to the pressure of the many other expectations placed upon both teachers and students. This book offers strategies for infusing mathematics learning and reasoning into elementary school classrooms while meeting curriculum and testing mandates. The teacher researcher component of each chapter provides a vehicle for teachers to bring their own expertise and questions back into the teaching and learning equation.
Wherein Have We Robbed God? Malachi's Message to the Men of Today
by G. Campbell MorganWherein Have We Robbed God? Malachi's Message to the Men of Today by G. Campbell Morgan offers a timeless and thought-provoking study of the prophetic message found in the Book of Malachi. In this work, Morgan reflects on how the words of the last Old Testament prophet speak powerfully to modern readers, challenging believers to examine their relationship with God, their stewardship, and their faithfulness.Morgan focuses on the central theme of spiritual neglect, as Malachi’s message addresses Israel’s tendency toward complacency, half-hearted worship, and the withholding of offerings due to God. With pastoral insight and biblical precision, Morgan explores how these ancient failures parallel contemporary attitudes toward God and the Church, calling readers to renewed faith, obedience, and devotion.The book provides practical reflections on topics such as tithing, worship, and sincere service, urging believers to align their lives with God’s purposes. Morgan emphasizes that “robbing God” is not limited to financial matters—it encompasses neglecting love, justice, and gratitude in every area of life. Through this lens, he challenges individuals to recognize God’s rightful place in their hearts and actions.Morgan’s engaging writing style and commitment to Scripture make Wherein Have We Robbed God? both convicting and encouraging. His commentary demonstrates that Malachi’s message is not merely an ancient rebuke but a relevant call for believers today to embrace spiritual integrity and wholehearted devotion.This book will resonate with readers seeking personal revival, church leaders aiming to inspire their congregations, and anyone interested in understanding the continuing relevance of Old Testament prophecy. Wherein Have We Robbed God? offers an invitation to examine the ways we honor God in our daily lives and challenges us to respond to His love with faithful service and true worship.

Which Jesus?: Choosing Between Love and Power
by Tony CampoloWhat if there were two men named Jesus in the city of Nazareth? One was Jesus Barabbas, son of Abbas. One was Jesus Barjoseph, son of Joseph. One man was famous for his hatred and destruction. One was famous for his love and compassion. They lived, played, studied, and worked side by side, with one crucial difference: only one of them offered the way to salvation and eternal life. In Which Jesus, Campolo follows the divergent paths of the two until they converge at the feet of Pilate. Comparing the lives of two distinctly different men, a portrait emerges of One who had power over life and death versus one who would live by the sword and die by the sword. As Campolo draws the compelling distinction between true power and love and ill-gotten power and hate, Christians see that they have the ability today to do even greater works for the Kingdom than they ever believed possible. It's a simple question of choosing which Jesus to serve.
