Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Nick Thompson recognizes that pride is our worst enemy. If pride is our chief foe, then humility is our chief friend, even though its company may be painful. But spiritual growth is a descent—we must grow downward. Defining humility as “the downward disposition of a Godward self-perception,” Thompson walks us through the practical implications of this definition, leading us to embrace a God-centered perspective on the self. With winsome illustration and warm pastoral instruction, Growing Downward shows us that the path of humility, though difficult, is the way to true meaning and fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yikealo was a young father when his government rounded him up and sent him to one of the deadliest places on the planet to learn how to kill. It would take years of hard sacrifice just to regain his freedom... and more than a decade of uncertainty just for a chance to see his family again. “As for walls and fences to pen us in, there are none. We are free to leave, if we choose, but there is nowhere for us to go and almost certain death for anyone who tries.” Yikealo Neab was born into a bloody conflict his grandparents started and grew to adulthood watching the same conflict take his friends and threaten his children. After being forcibly conscripted and sent to the Danakil Depression, where more than just the extreme heat and old Russian landmines can kill, he must face the very real possibility that, should he manage to survive, he might never see his family again. I Will Not Grow Downward is a heartbreaking memoir of struggle and determination, of loss and exile... and ultimately of redemption. Yikealo’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit to endure, particularly of those living in violence and oppression and those fleeing from them. It offers students of contemporary East African history an exceptionally rare glimpse inside the highly secretive and brutally repressive regime known as Africa's Hermit Kingdom, but it is also a gift and an inspiration for anyone searching for proof that faith and perseverance can overcome even the most insurmountable of obstacles. I Will Not Grow Downward is part of the Dreams of Freedom collection, stories of resilience from Eritrea, the small war-torn nation known as the North Korea of Africa.

Book excerpt: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" That might be one of the worst questions anyone could ever ask a teenager. Our society pushes you to grow up, to stand on your own two feet, to chase after meaningful pursuits. But what if there was a better way to grow, a better path to follow, a richer life to lead? Grow Down is built around the idea that there is a better way to grow: by rooting yourself through a life centered in Jesus. Using Colossians 2:6-7 as a backdrop and a tree as a visual, this book envisions a generation that chooses to be un-adulterated. That's the priority for author Ken Castor, who has worked with teenagers and young adults for more than 20 years. Like a tree, a follower of Christ must root deeply into Jesus, find all nourishment to stand strongly through life in him, and then naturally impact others with fruit and shade, protection, and life-breathing air. As you grow down into Jesus, you'll draw up the resources you need to stand through any pressures, and then you'll overflow with an abundance of life that this grownup world so desperately needs.

Book excerpt: As with the poems of Donne, Herbert, and Hopkins, the artistic meditations in this collection are first and foremost outstanding poems; next they are lyrical and religious-and much else as well. Some are humorous in a quiet ways, others illustrate connections between people and among living creatures. These are poems that will touch you, instruct you without being didactic, charm you into reading the rest of them, and leave you knowing you will return to this volume to read again and again for the wonder and the magic of the words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acton Academy: The one-room schoolhouse for the twenty-first century Seeking a 21st century education for their children, Laura and Jeff Sandefer jumped off the track of conventional school and created a new model for learning. They created Acton Academy as a better school where learning is made practical and meaningful and where students begin a lifelong Hero's Journey to discover their true potential. Using the Socratic method, elements of the Montessori approach and state-of-the-art online instruction, Acton guides students toward independence and self-motivation, helping them find the courage to grow into the person they were meant to be. Soon, other parents wanted to start their own Acton Academies, and less than a decade from the seven founding students' first Socratic discussion, Acton has spread around the world. ​Courage to Grow is the Sandefer family's personal quest for their own children's education and happiness. Their story also contains a path for other parents who want to give their children the freedom to take ownership of their own education and to start their own school. The treasure at the end is much larger than Laura ever expected--a quickly growing network of dedicated, curious young people and parents who are not afraid to set them free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised Up Down Yonder attempts to shift focus away from why black youth are "problematic" to explore what their daily lives actually entail. Howell travels to the small community of Hamilton, Alabama, to investigate what it is like for a young black person to grow up in the contemporary rural South. What she finds is that the young people of Hamilton are neither idly passing their time in a stereotypically languid setting nor are they being corrupted by hip-hop culture and the perils of the urban North, as many pundits suggest. Rather, they are dynamic and diverse young people making their way through the structures that define the twenty-first-century South. Told through the poignant stories of several high school students, Raised Up Down Yonder reveals a group that is often rendered invisible in society. Blended families, football sagas, crunk music, expanding social networks, and a nearby segregated prom are just a few of the fascinating juxtapositions.
