description: How can someone experience God in our culture of speed, jam-packed schedules, constant noise and a constant barrage of things screaming for our attention. Hurry, Busyness, Noise and Distraction are four great enemies of a vibrant life with God, yet most people believe only monks and pastors can experience it. Not true. With just a bit of intentionality, working parents, single parents, retired men and women, couples and singles can experience God's closeness and presence in the midst of their everyday lives. The classic avenues of experiencing God are necessary but many normal, everyday people feel guilt or frustration over not having the time or space to implement them into their lives. In this book, practices such as Noticing, Slowing, Rest and Waiting are shown to be "practices that count" in God's eyes. He will meet us in them just as much as the classic practices. Find some freedom and joy in experiencing God in these practices that require some effort our part, but result in God's whisper of "Well done," in your inner being.

Engaged research and qualitative theory building in the social sciences are among the greatest adventures and significant vocations life can present. The impact of good theory, no matter how tiny or vast, can instantly move across our intimate planet and affect every human and living system in this interconnected, relationally alive, and reverberating universe. Ideas change the world. Ideas can be about life and they can be life-giving in the sense that they can inspire, enliven, and open us to new horizons and new depths. A new idea, especially the idea whose time has come in a prospective and betterment sense, does more than inform: it transforms. We've all experienced it. A single new understanding can change us deeply.This book-emerging from the needs and urging of David's doctoral students and those who care about engaged scholarship-is about the craft of grounded and future-forming theory construction. It's a way of doing research in the human sciences that exists, in William James' contrast, "not as a dull habit but as an acute fever." This book, today used in doctoral research courses and masters programs in organization development, unites the original purpose of Appreciative Inquiry with the domains of grounded theory, generative theory, enlivenment world-views, and the art and science of portraiture. Taken together this volume provides a manifesto and clear framework for prospective theory-building. Prospective theory is:1. Theory inspired by life, and it is designed to apprehend the best in all of life's fullest, most meaningful, and best future possibilities while being grounded in the midst of the extraordinary, the ordinary, as well as the tragic;2. Has the enlivenment and generative capacity to challenge the status quo and open the world to new better possibilities for life and living;3. Articulates a future story of prospective possibility. It involves a proleptic merging of the ideal conditioned in the texture of the actual-e.g., vivid utopias that are right there in front of us-informing our future story for establishing the new and eclipsing the old.

Education & Teaching

Cooperrider, David L.

Schools & Teaching

The Problem: The international ranking of the United States in education is described as "mediocre," SAT test scores (college admissions) are inexplicably low, and there is an accelerating exodus of students from elementary and high schools to other learning alternatives. Recognizably, students and parents are dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction is reinforced by the negative perception of students who have finished the system but vowed to never return and by the critical number of students who have just plain given up and dropped-out. The Reality: We are experiencing a strong public discontent with the realities of U.S. public education. Resultantly we are leaving part of the future of our nation to approximately four and a half million public school drop-outs per year. The Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 limited the lives of approximately 365,000 people in the U.S. yet we are limiting the potential economic, social, and technological contributions to our nation of 4,500,000 former drop-out students every year with no effective solution. This negatively affects all of us and is reason enough for even the strongest dissenters to agree this is a problem that needs to be resolved. The Solution: The intention of this Guide is to improve student learning. It is written to help Parents, School Board Members, Administrators, Government, Business, Teachers, Students or anyone interested in education-to be able to promote the world proven processes of continuous improvement to student learning and educate more effectively. Thus the Guide: How to Improve Student Learning.
