DOWNLOAD EBOOKChildren living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Kids who both live in poverty and read below grade level by third grade are three times as likely not to graduate from high school as students who have never been poor. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. More than half won't graduate from high school--and many that do graduate only perform at an eighth-grade level. Only one in ten will go on to graduate from college. These students have severely diminished opportunities for personal prosperity and professional success. It is clear that America's public schools do not provide a high quality public education for the sixteen million children growing up in poverty. Education expert Nicole Baker Fulgham explores what Christians can--and should--do to champion urgently needed reform and help improve our public schools. The book provides concrete action steps for working to ensure that all of God's children get the quality public education they deserve. It also features personal narratives from the author and other Christian public school teachers that demonstrate how the achievement gap in public education can be solved.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmerica is a nation at risk. One primary reason for this is the mediocre educational performance that exists today, which is the fruit of a state monopolized educational system where the antichristian, man-centered religion of secular humanism is preached five days a week to 50 million of our youth. This is leading them and our nation into bondage. Lack of money is not the problem in our public schools. The problem is with the philosophy that forms the foundation of education in America. Colossians 2:8 reveals there are two basic philosophies that which is according to the world, and that which is according to Christ. A worldly or humanistic (man-centered) philosophy always brings captivity or bondage, while a Christian philosophy brings liberty. Learn of the Christian foundations of education in America: Education was centered in the home and was thoroughly Christian; the first schools were started by the church; the first common schools were started to teach children to be able to read and understand the Bible; 106 of the first 108 colleges were started by and for the Christian faith; the Bible was the central textbook; the Christian education of America's Founders produced men of great character and thought men who gave the world the most free, just, and prosperous nation of all time. Such education is needed to assure that America will continue its legacy of liberty. 24 pages,"

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This timely look at the state of Christian higher education in America contains descriptive, historical narratives that explore how fourteen Christian colleges and universities are successfully integrating faith and learning on their campuses despite the challenges posed by the increasingly pluralistic nature of modern culture. Written by respected representatives from seven major faith traditions -- Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Mennonite, Evangelical, Wesleyan/Holiness, and Baptist/Restorationist -- these narratives are also preceded by introductory essays that define the worldview and theological heritage of each given tradition and ask what that tradition can contribute to the task of higher education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProtestant evangelical Christian schools are the fastest-growing segment of American private school education. Despite their notable individual autonomy, these schools have retained a consistent belief system and mission over several decades. Private religious schools can be traced to our nation’s earliest origins. Why is it that these unique educational institutions arose in twentieth-century America and have continued to thrive? A Christian America Restored seeks to delve into the beginnings of private Christian schools and discovers that while they are relatively new on the educational landscape of America, their roots are actually quite deep, connecting with the ongoing dreams of our nation’s conservative evangelicals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLatin American Journey demonstrates in a unique way how personal and social narrative can illuminate the biblical story. Robert Pazmino's experiences in a South American base community and the barrios of Costa Rica are here translated into fresh and vital proposals for Christian education in North America. Showing the way between fundamentalism of both the right and left, the author brings into creative partnership an often polarized orthodoxy and 'orthopraxy'. A valuable resource for religious educators, pastors, and seminary students." - Gabriel Fackre Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Andover Newton Theological School Pazmino has shown significant creativity in bringing the insights of liberation theology to bear on the discipline of religious education. He has done this in a manner that is directly relevant to a North American audience, and not merely to those curious about Latin American liberation theology. He writes clearly and succinctly, and his book could be valuable in courses on religious education in seminars and colleges. It is a must for curriculum planners and writers, as well as for directors of Christian education in local churches." - Justo L. Gonzalez Director, Hispanic Summer Program The Fund for Theological Education, Inc.
