What if Jesus sat you down, right now, and told you everything you ever did? Before you say, "Yikes!" let me tell you a story. The gospel of John, chapter four tells us Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and that he told her everything she ever did. Meet Me at the Well provides a framework for better understanding of that meeting in a fictional but historically viable telling of the Samaritan woman's story. Listen in as everything the woman ever did is recounted to her: childhood, marriage to her first husband... the second... third... fourth and fifth, living with a man out of wedlock. The bright thread of hope is woven through her tale as her father's stories of the faith guide her on her ofttimes treacherous path from childhood to the day she trudged - defeated and beaten down - to Father Jacob's well. There, she meets Jesus, the Son of God, Messiah - and she hears her story told in a completely new way. All the facts are the same, but His perspective is so... different. Jesus sees her story through the same lens He uses to view all our stories - God's view, a biblical view, a view aimed at "seeking and saving that which was lost." Jesus's unique perspective transforms the woman's own view of herself and others. Hers is a story marked by tragedy, trauma, and poor decisions (that's nice talk for sin) but also wit, resilience, love and ultimately deliverance. Meet Me at the Well is full of biblical insight, humor, historical context, mystery, and redemption. Watch for the next book in the Samaritan Woman series, Rivers in the Wasteland.

Within a Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning context, this book investigates how teachers and learners interacted and articulated their understanding of English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP)-related knowledge in a synchronous EFL classroom. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people receive education, causing an almost overnight switch from on-campus instruction to distance learning. Under the use of three different learning analytics approaches, this book has moved beyond the usual descriptive understanding of the online learning process to an in-depth exploratory and inferential analysis of the entities, structures, relations, and processes of learning. The findings enrich current understandings of the complexity of ERPP teaching and learning in synchronous learning contexts. These findings also drive us to rethink and reshape the way ERPP instruction is delivered post-pandemic. An essential read for students and scholars of education and academic English. This book will also be a vital source for researchers in the field of learning analytics, data analysis, and data interpretation in language teaching and learning.
