What is the Key to World Evangelism? All heaven will break loose when God's glory is on display among His people--to the degree that unbelievers will say, "Wow! This is something else . . . and we want it!" So what releases God's glory in this dimension? When we understand--and live out--the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17:21-22. In Joy Dawson's engaging, conversational, forthright style, she has given us a biblical and thought-provoking case for both the need and the how-to, to live in the unity Jesus prayed for. "Joy's biblical and practical examples of the working of the Holy Spirit are inspiring and truly offer hope to anyone who believes in the power of God to unify the Body of Christ. The tone of humility with which Joy penned this work is a wonderful example to us all."--Mrs. Vonette Bright, co-founder, Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru in the U.S.) "Joy Dawson (Mom to me) has given us possibly her most important book because it gets to the heart of what ails us as Christians, and presents the solution. I am delighted and encouraged."--John Dawson, international president emeritus, Youth With A Mission "Joy Dawson is a gifted master-teacher and prophetic voice. In a very real and dynamic sense, this book has been given to her as a 'word from heaven' and should shake us up to act upon it. It has shaken me anew."--Jack Hayford, chancellor, The King's University; founding pastor, The Church On The Way

A threatening text, an empty bottle of heparin, a sick dog, and a missing property all lead Christina and the police chief of Alva, Texas, to conclude that the person they have locked up in Dallas is working with someone, or another individual is threatening the Sanders family. As threats escalate toward not only Christina’s family but also the residents of Alva, it becomes apparent that there are evil forces—human and spiritual—at work. When the first explosion rocks the town, the Sanders family and their friends are thrown into a life-and-death situation. As memories of the September 11 incident surface, fear grips the heart of the town, and the police chief feels compelled to call for outside help. During these trying times, Christina’s faith is strained. She knows God wants her to be fearless and trusting, but the human side of her has difficulty letting go, as the lives of her loved ones hang in the balance. Little does she realize that God has a few surprises in store for her and her family.
Explosions, fires, break-ins, and terrorist attacks keep the residents of Alva, Texas, in a state of confusion and fear. Who are the perpetrators? Will justice be served? The Sanders family and their friends find themselves caught in the middle of investigations into these appalling activities. As they struggle with their fear and confusion, their faith will be tested. How can they be still, trust God, and fear not among all the chaos?

Will Christina find peace and happiness again as she reacquaints herself with a high school crush? Will her children adjust to the different climate and strangeness of Texas? Will she truly learn to trust God who instructs her to “fear not”?
Imagination and creative teaching approaches are increasingly important across all higher education disciplines, not just the arts. Investigating the role of imagination in teaching and learning in non-arts disciplines, this book argues that a lack of clarity about what imagination looks like in higher education impedes teachers in fostering their students’ creativity. Fostering Imagination in Higher Education tells four ethnographic stories from physics, history, finance and pharmaceutical science courses, analytically observing the strategies educators use to encourage their students’ imagination, and detailing how students experience learning when it is focussed on engaging their imagination. The highly original study is framed by Ricoeur’s work on different forms of imagination (reproductive and productive or generative). It links imaginative thinking to cognitive science and philosophy, in particular the work of Clark, Dennett and Polanyi, and to the mediating role of disciplinary concepts and social-cultural practices. The author’s discussion of models, graphs, strategies and artefacts as tools for taking learners’ thinking forward has much to offer understandings of pedagogy in higher education. Students in these case studies learned to create themselves as knowledge producers and professionals. It positioned them to experience actively the constructed nature of the knowledge and processes they were learning to use – and the continuing potential of knowledge to be remade in the future. This is what makes imaginative thinking elemental to the goals of higher education.
Critically acclaimed author David Joy, whose debut, Where All Light Tends to Go, was hailed as “a savagely moving novel that will likely become an important addition to the great body of Southern literature” (The Huffington Post), returns to the mountains of North Carolina with a powerful story about the inescapable weight of the past. A combat veteran returned from war, Thad Broom can’t leave the hardened world of Afghanistan behind, nor can he forgive himself for what he saw there. His mother, April, is haunted by her own demons, a secret trauma she has carried for years. Between them is Aiden McCall, loyal to both but unable to hold them together. Connected by bonds of circumstance and duty, friendship and love, these three lives are blown apart when Aiden and Thad witness the accidental death of their drug dealer and a riot of dope and cash drops in their laps. On a meth-fueled journey to nowhere, they will either find the grit to overcome the darkness or be consumed by it.
Whisper to the Bees is the third in a series of historical novels set in Reighton, East Yorkshire in the early 18th century. Inspired by the parish records and local archives, it charts the continuing story of the Jordans from 1714 to 1720 in two parts. The first reflects the farming year and rituals through a child's eyes; the second shows how grief can change a person's life. Readers of the earlier books in the series can meet up with favourite characters in the village again – old Ben and his mule, Sarah Ezard, the midwife and healer, and George Gurwood, the longsuffering vicar living in the small vicarage with his wife and seven daughters, not to mention the puritanical Robert Storey. The weather plays a huge role in daily life as does superstition, old remedies and the Church. In Part One, the main character is the lively and intelligent young Mary Jordan. Her father adores her and allows her to learn to read and write as well as run wild with her dog. Opinion in the village is divided on how girls should behave. She torments her brothers and leads them into all kinds of escapades. In Part Two, an unexpected death leads to William Jordan taking to drink and abusing his family. As a distraction from grief, he becomes embroiled in smuggling, but this only leads to more violence. In a downward spiral, he breaks the law and has to appear at the courthouse in Beverley. The book ends with the death of a major character and the departure of the vicar and his family of girls. The way is prepared for Book 4 – a look at the village without its moral compass.
