A parody of the world's madness, from a Christian perspective, in poetry. This book has three poems each, across nine chapters taking various absurdities or corruptions of the world, each in turn. The goal is to lend some humor to a desperate human condition without Christ.

Answers to one-hundred questions on Christian faith, in the categories of big questions, Bible, doctrine, other ways, scandals, and application. Bible citations support the answers and explanations, each of which is about three pages of concise and clear text.

This book offers fifty letters, one to the churches of each of the fifty United States, in the style of the Pauline letters of the New Testament. The book indirectly explores contemporary cultural issues, as did the apostle Paul's letters, while retaining a timeless perspective.

Read here, in epic-poem form with thousands of citations from both the Bible's New Testament and Old Testament, of how the life of the Messiah Jesus Christ shaped our moral universe. The poem encourages you to explore the many rich stories that the Bible embeds in the Savior Jesus's greatest-ever life story. Read, and listen for the Holy Spirit.

This children's book has nine brief stories, each reflecting the wisdom of a specific gospel verse, to help students apply those verses and biblical principles to their own lives. The stories focus on individual themes starting with God's glory and then including one's service, one's path, God's grace, his power, his peace, his holiness, his love, and charity. The book includes silhouette illustrations on each page.

The Bible's New Testament presents the very good news of rescue from death and of life forever, in parallel accounts, history, letters, and prophecy that can make for difficult reading. Religious terms and ancient names and places further complicate the reading. Format and content leave many readers asking what it all means.This book reorganizes the traditional New Testament format into a single good-news account. It also sorts into pertinent places in that single account, the doctrine that the multiple accounts, letters, history, and prophecy articulate. You read a bit of the good-news account and then read an interlude of doctrine that the writers drew from it.This book also removes most of the religious terms and many of the ancient names and places in favor of common, accessible language. It thus supplies a fresh good-news account, one that both sophisticated and unsophisticated readers may appreciate. Each of us receives and interprets the good news as the Spirit communicates it. Enjoy a fresh interpretation.

This book serves as a text for a first-term law-school Torts I course. The book covers one half of the whole tort-law field, anticipating a second Torts II course covering the second half of the field. The book is of contemporary design including much more than the traditional cases. The book has a companion text for Torts II.

This 470-page textbook serves a second-term three-credit Torts II course for law students, following a companion Torts I course. It has advanced pedagogical and andragogical designs rather than being merely a traditional casebook.

This companion to Teaching Law: A Framework for Instructional Mastery shows the power of behavioral approaches to teaching law. Traditional law instruction, especially around the so-called Socratic method, leaves most students passive in the classroom. Behavioral approaches require that students participate in structured classroom exercises in which they use the knowledge and skills that they must learn.This book describes the successes of a three-year project in behavioral instruction supported by a team of behavioral-psychology graduate students guiding multiple law courses. The behavioral instructional designs and principles that it summarizes and articulates have empirical-study support. The book includes instructional-design examples and illustrating classroom vignettes.

This book for law professors has fourteen chapters following a typical law school term.

The book includes a beginning chapter on Pedagogy to help professors appreciate theoretical schools on education and the history of law teaching, and a concluding chapter on Teaching Vision.The book offers useful insights for anyone who teaches law and wants to improve at it. Reflection questions and exercises frame each chapter, engaging readers to implement suggestions and designs. Exhaustively researched, the book trains readers to articulate proper learning objectives, use syllabi more productively, adopt best practices when they lecture and use Socratic questioning, make learning more visual, and create better assessment instruments, among other reforms.
