Have you felt like you were built for the race, and all you desired was a chance to run? Have you ever had someone say you're not good enough? have you allowed labels to be placed on you as identity markers? You are more than the labels you carry or the past you hold onto. You are more than who they say you are. Stop qualifying yourself out of, What God is qualifying you into You can't change who you were or what you did or how you were raised. It doesn't matter what platform you started with, the only thing that matters is the platform God is building for you now. It's not always the biggest guy that wins the fight or event strongest runner that wins the race, it's the one who envisions the win and sees the victory when everyone else may see fear. So you're the one that envisions the victory but there's no race for you to run. You're the one who looks over the fence and thinks in his heart, "there's more." You have a learning disability. You're too old, too young. too much distorted past and disqualifying history. The heart of a winner resides in the spirit of the pace horse. God can do more through you in an instant with one percent of his planning than you can accomplish in a lifetime with a hundred percent of your own. It's time to partner with the Lord and dream big. It's time to do what you were built to do. It's time to get into the race.
Pastor Steve Qualls shares personal stories of inspiration from life lesson and biblical truths. Find yourself in these pages and discover you are God's thoroughbred, and he sees you as "More than a Pace Horse."

Описание: In Why Knowledge Matters, influential scholar E. D. Hirsch, Jr., addresses critical issues in contemporary education reform and shows how cherished truisms about education and child development have led to unintended and negative consequences.Hirsch, author of The Knowledge Deficit, draws on recent findings in neuroscience and data from France to provide new evidence for the argument that a carefully planned, knowledge-based elementary curriculum is essential to providing the foundations for children's life success and ensuring equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds. In the absence of a clear, common curriculum, Hirsch contends that tests are reduced to measuring skills rather than content, and that students from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot develop the knowledge base to support high achievement. Hirsch advocates for updated policies based on a set of ideas that are consistent with current cognitive science, developmental psychology, and social science.The book focuses on six persistent problems of recent US education: the over-testing of students; the scapegoating of teachers; the fadeout of preschool gains; the narrowing of the curriculum; the continued achievement gap between demographic groups; and the reliance on standards that are not linked to a rigorous curriculum. Hirsch examines evidence from the United States and other nations that a coherent, knowledge-based approach to schooling has improved both achievement and equity wherever it has been instituted, supporting the argument that the most significant education reform and force for equality of opportunity and greater social cohesion is the reform of fundamental educational ideas.Why Knowledge Matters introduces a new generation of American educators to Hirsch's astute and passionate analysis.
A critical edition of the book that paved the way for the democratization of American higher education
If you have ever attended a town meeting or business lunch, or participated in a church group or department meeting, or served on a faculty senate or maybe just watched C-SPAN, then you have likely encountered Robert's Rules of Order. This critical edition of Henry M. Robert's essential guide to parliamentary procedure features the original text from 1876 along with a companion essay by Christopher Loss, who artfully recounts the book's publication and popular reception, and sheds light on its enduring value for one of the most vital bastions of democracy itself--the modern university. Loss deftly explains why Robert's simple, elegant handbook to democratic governance captured the imagination of so many ordinary citizens during the Gilded Age and how it has shaped the development of our colleges and universities ever since. He shows how Robert's rules can help faculty, administrators, and students to solve problems and overcome challenges through collaboration, disciplined thinking, trust in the facts, and honesty and fairness from all sides. At a time when people's faith in democracy and higher education has been shaken to its core, Robert's Rules of Order offers a powerful reminder of the importance of democratic norms and practices in American life and institutions.
