Many Christians are spiritually impoverished because they fail to understand and appreciate their true spiritual identity. John Blanchard explains why grasping the Bible's definitions of a Christian points the way to producing spiritually healthy, balanced, maturing and effective believers. From the author's introduction: Basic biblical truth, clearly understood and resolutely applied, sets the Christian free from errors, excesses and eccentricities. Whether the issue is one of doctrine or practice, theology or morality, public worship or private living, the Christian's invariable starting-point should be 'What does the Scripture say?' (Romans 4:3) To come at the issue from another angle, too many Christians are suffering from homiletical shell-shock. They have been blasted and blistered, flogged and flayed, challenged and charged by one preacher after another to improve their spiritual standard of living, but often without a biblical explanation of what a Christian already is. Yet, surely, this is the only proper place to begin. To put it in a nutshell, the Bible's moral teaching amounts to this: we are to become what we are. It is my conviction that if Christians could get a firm grasp of this, then follow through its implications, their lives would be immeasurably enriched, and it is this conviction that led to the series of studies contained in this little book. First published in 1982, this is a brand-new 2014 edition with revised text, using the ESV.

Teaching Learning and Assessment

"This down-to-earth and timely book demonstrates that assessment is at the very heart of the teaching and learning process. It gives highly practical ideas and strategies to help make learning powerful and effective. It reminds us not only about what works in classrooms but also about what works in adult learning and informal learning too." Steve Munby, Chief Executive, National College for School Leadership, UK This book deals with formative assessment, that is, assessment designed to inform and enhance learning, rather than simply produce test results and qualifications. Formative assessment considers how pupils learn, what they learn and why, and encourages pupils to direct their own learning.  Based on real life experiences of students and teachers, this book develops a practical framework for thinking about formative assessment, based on a five-year research project undertaken by Portsmouth Local Authority schools and the University of Sussex. Rich in case studies, quotations, examples and recommendations collected from the project, the book offers practical advice for making formative assessment work.  Its key features include:  A framework for formative assessment  Focus on professional and whole-school development  Prompts for reflection  Real-life examples and case studies from work carried out by pupils, teachers, assistants and leaders The central message is that assessment should be fundamental to the whole learning process, and is as relevant to early years as to primary, secondary and post-compulsory settings across the curriculum. Teaching, Learning and Assessment is important reading for all teachers whether undertaking initial teacher training or continuing professional development.

Teaching and Targets: Self Evaluation and School Improvement

Teachers, school managers and governors are now more publicly accountable than ever. They are expected to know how their school is performing and how to improve that performance. Target setting is a key tool in the drive to raise standards, and has been implemented at every level of the education system. This book explores target setting from both the teacher's and pupil's viewpoint, and investigates the role of assessment in successful teaching and learning. It shows that it is possible to develop a whole-school target setting policy co-ordinating the use of targets for individual pupils, subject specific departments and teams, and whole-school improvement plans. In this way, targets can be used positively for the benefit of pupils, teachers and managers. This book will be important reading for headteachers, senior management teams, assessment co-ordinators and subject leaders in schools, and will also be of interest to governors and LEA advisors.

Word Books

This book is written for seekers - for people who want to give sensible and honest thought to the whole question of their relationship to God. It is not an examination of all the world's religions which ends by saying, 'Now choose the one you like best'. It is not a scientific text-book, which turns religion into equations and faith into a formula. It is not a vague and airy-fairy collection of various points of view. It is a plain, straightforward book showing how a person who is honestly seeking for God can find him. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction 1. The Truth The Bible is completely true The Bible is constantly true 2. The Problem What is God? What is man? 3. The Failure Race - a failure Ritual - a failure Religion - a failure Respectability - a failure 4. The Answer The Old Testament The New Testament 5. The Need You must be born again You must be converted 6. The Way Ahead It is a way of openness It is a way of obedience It is a way of opportunity
