It is believed by many authors and researchers that successful education is reliant on the teacher's handle on the classroom environment, curriculum, and teaching method. But what about student differences such as IQ, prior knowledge, and learning styles, among all unique variables a room full of individuals contain? In recent years, it's become clear that teacher-student interactions, and the host of variables that affect these interaction patters, can help or hinder student learning. In his book Teaching Is Interaction, Dr. Richard H. Powell shares his experience during his forty-year career in teaching and the information he's gathered that he believes can be helpful for new and seasoned teachers looking to improve their skills and help students learn more effectively. For centuries, there have been many theories and ideas about learning, and Powell looks to crack the argument on behaviorism, which debates whether man is a higher and more complex form of the animal kingdom, or man is created in God's image, with a learning process much more complex than that of the animal kingdom. How different is our learning? How much of it can we control? No one student is exactly like another, and one method or style of teaching may not be appropriate for a variety of students. Teaching requires different strategies and ways to deal with the numerous characteristics and mental processes contained in a single classroom. But what remains the same is that the teacher holds the key to effective student learning in all situations. Dr. Richard H. Powell grew up in the Midwest and has been a high school teacher, middle school and high school principal, and a college professor for over 50 years. He received his master's and doctorate degree from University of Arizona. He has had classroom experience with kids of various ages-elementary to college. Therefore, he wants to share some of his experiences and ideas that he has learned from teachers, authors, and educational research that he believes can be helpful for beginning and experienced teachers. He loves spending time with his family and is a well traveled man who has many countries around the world. He has enjoyed the teaching profession and the interaction with teachers and students of all ages, inside and outside the classroom. It is love for teaching that has inspired him to write this book.

Spiritual warfare that takes place when Satan wants to annihilate a local church, and he does so by encouraging the vulnerable to change the Word of God to fit their desires. During this war, Satan sends his many spirits of chaos to try and accomplish his objective-destruction of faith. But the primary spirit that he sends is the spirit of REBELLION. In Fighting in the Church, Denise Trimble illuminates the patterns of that rebellion, as well as the internal, civil fighting that occurs as a result of the rebellion. Inspired by first-hand experience, Trimble knows all too well about the means in which Satan infiltrates a house of God and sends its ministry and members into spiritual battle. About four years ago, Trimble's church was demonically attacked through the spirit of rebellion, and the internal fight that followed was necessary to bring order and honor back to the church. It took all they had to adequately continue to accomplish the kingdom objective. It is Trimble's prayer that through this book, and through the grace of God and the Spirit, that you will be able to identify and understand the patterns of rebellion.

Concerned it could be strep, Shamar's mother, Faye, ensures she sees a doctor as soon as possible. After a routine check-up and a prescription, the only thing left for the family to do is wait for their little girl to get better. Time goes by and Shamar's condition is getting worse. Knowing there was something deeper than what the doctors could detect, Faye goes on a hunt to find a doctor who can tell her what is wrong with her daughter. She finally finds one and is given a diagnosis that she and her family could never have imagined. Shamar has Kawasaki, a rare disease of unknown cause that causes inflammation in the walls of blood vessels in the heart. If Shamar is not neutralized within ten days, she could endure serious heart problems in the future. Time is of the essence for the doctors to help, though knowledge of treatments for the disease is as rare as the disease itself. Hope seems to be dwindling as a miracle cure seems to be impossible to find with the passing of each day, yet the Kennel family is not ready to give up.

The Word of God teaches us to put on the whole armor of God, which is our defense against the attacks of our Enemies, who threatens our spiritual lives on a daily basis. Among our impenetrable amour is the sword, which is symbolic of the Word of God. But in order for us to take up and wield our sword in a manner that honors the severity of the battle, we must first understand the fundamentals of Scripture. After becoming a believer at the age of thirty-eight, Robert L. Carroll became filled with the need to leave what he has learned of the Word's truth for those around him once he's joined the Father in Heaven. His work, Sharpen Your Sword, was written with both the new and seasoned believer in mind. As a newborn baby knows nothing of the world immediately, Carroll begins this journey of faith with readers as if they are just being born into truth of God's Word. Carroll walks readers through the requirements of being a believer of the Word of God. He does so by establishing the validity of the Scriptures, who we are as a people and how we got here, Who God is, our relationship with Him, and many other key topics relevant to the Christian walk. Of the many gospels being preached worldwide, only one is true, and it is revealed in the Word of God, the message of Jesus Christ as read in Scripture. New and old believers alike are being deceived by false preaching, leading many to wrongly believe that they have been saved. However, the only true path to salvation is laid out in the Word, and Carroll hopes to help all who desire it to correct their course.

Hace un par de años, cuando viajaba de Lima a Miami y mi vuelo fue retrasado, decidí matar el tiempo comprándome un libro, pero no sabía cuál. Paseando por una de las tiendas en el aeropuerto, sin saber cómo, me acerqué a una mesa, la misma que tenía varios ejemplares, y por alguna razón extraña, tomé en mis manos el libro que reforzaría mi fe en nuestro querido Dios y se convertiría en la razón fundamental para editar esta colección con mensajes para el alma. Las almápsulas son pastillas para el alma, pensamientos positivos, experiencias de vida y mensajes de esperanza que buscan convertirnos en mejores seres humanos, poitivos, triunfadores y agradecidos con Dios por todo lo que tenemos y no tenemos.
