The Education Invasion

How Common Core Fights Parents for Control of American Kids

By: Joy Pullmann

Most Americans had no idea what Common Core was in 2013, according to polls. But it had been creeping into schools nationwide over the previous three years, and children were feeling its effects. They cried over math homework so mystifying their parents could not help them, even in elementary school. They read motley assortments of “informational text” instead of classic literature. They dreaded the high-stakes tests, in unfamiliar formats, that were increasingly controlling their classrooms. How did this latest and most sweeping “reform” of American education come in mostly under the radar? Joy Pullmann started tugging on a thread of reports from worried parents and frustrated teachers, and it led to a big tangle of history and politics, intrigue and arrogance. She unwound it to discover how a cabal of private foundation honchos and unelected public officials cooked up a set of rules for what American children must learn in core K–12 classes, and how the Obama administration pressured states to adopt them. Thus a federalized education scheme took root, despite legal prohibitions against federal involvement in curriculum. Common Core and its testing regime were touted as “an absolute game-changer in public education,” yet the evidence so far suggests that kids are actually learning less under it. Why, then, was such a costly and disruptive agenda imposed on the nation’s schools? Who benefits? And how can citizens regain local self-governance in education, so their children’s minds will be fed a more nourishing intellectual diet and be protected from the experiments of emboldened bureaucrats? The Education Invasion offers answers and remedies.

Relentless Joy

Finding Freedom, Passion, and Happiness (Even When You Have to Fight for It)

By: Rachel Joy Baribeau

It's rare that a book actually makes you a better human, but that's exactly what Rachel Baribeau has done in Relentless Joy."--Laura Rutledge, ESPN Sports host and reporter We all want more joy, but what happens when life kicks you in the gut? How do you maintain hope or look forward to the future? Relentless Joy will show you how to · reclaim joy when your life feels barren or burdened · throw off the chains of what you are "supposed to be" · see God working in surprising ways you may have missed · identify the unique dream that sets your soul on fire · serve others and walk in joy for the rest of your life With gut-level honesty, award-winning storyteller and former national sportscaster Rachel Joy Baribeau shares her own story of changing the narrative of her life from stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious to confident in her identity and joyful in her life's purpose. With the odds stacked against her, Rachel became the first female sportscaster to host on SiriusXM College channels and hosted the very first College Football Playoff National Championship game. She has shared the secrets to her trailblazing journey with over 100,000 fans and students through her live events and her movement, I'm Changing the Narrative. Relentless Joy is not just another book about how to be happy. Instead, Rachel reveals how to embrace commonly missed opportunities to experience joy and share it with others. No matter your circumstance, you can always change the narrative. Your story isn't over. The best is yet to come! *** "I always encouraged the young men in my football program to surround themselves with people who will make their lives better. At the top of that list for me is Rachel Baribeau. Her book, Relentless Joy, is a fantastic read for all ages."--Coach Bill Snyder, former head football coach of Kansas State University "In Relentless Joy, Rachel Baribeau explains how she has survived, thrived, and arrived to deliver the recipe of an overcomer. Do yourself a favor and jump on the joy train!"--David Tyree, former New York Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl champion

Jamie Rasmussen's HOW JOYFUL PEOPLE THINK is an exegetical study on Philippians 4:8. If you enjoy exegesis-style books, then you will enjoy his book. Rasmussen takes each part of Philippians 4:8 and helps us understand it in context as well to understand each point individually. He uses this passage to illustrate that if we "think on these things," we will be a more joyful people. Since I study joy, I enjoyed Rasmussen's study. I'm not a big fan of exegetical studies, but HOW JOYFUL PEOPLE THINK was definitely worth reading (listening to: )).
