Book Description
Eddy Thomas can read a college physics book, but he can't read the emotions on the faces of his classmates at Drayton Middle School. He can spend hours tinkering with an invention, but he can't stand more than a few minutes in a noisy crowd, like the crowd at the science fair, which Eddy fails to win. When the local school crossing guard is laid off, Eddy is haunted by thoughts of the potentially disastrous consequences and invents a traffic-calming device, using parts he has scavenged from discarded machines. Eddy also discovers new friends, who appreciate his abilities and respect his unique view of the world. They help Eddy realize that his "friend" Mitch is the person behind the progressively more distressing things that happed to Eddy. By trusting his real friends and accepting their help, Eddy uses his talents to help others and rethinks his purely mechanical definition of success in this Tofte/Wright Children's Literature Award winner.

Book Description
"The way we manage organizations seems increasingly out of date. Deep inside, we sense that more is possible. We long for soulful workplaces, for authenticity, community, passion, and purpose. In this groundbreaking book, the author shows that every time, in the past, when humanity has shifted to a new stage of consciousness, it has achieved extraordinary breakthroughs in collaboration. A new shift in consciousness is currently underway. Could it help us invent a more soulful and purposeful way to run our businesses and nonprofits, schools and hospitals? A few pioneers have already cracked the code and they show us, in practical detail, how it can be done. Leaders, founders, coaches, and consultants will find this work a joyful handbook, full of insights, examples, and inspiring stories."--Page [4] of cover.

Book Description
Is any one way really the "right" way for a church to impact today's rapidly changing culture? With all the different church models to choose from, does any one of them truly have "the answer"? Brian McLaren offers churches large and small a fresh, creative option -- beginning, as he did, by asking, "What kind of church would we want if we had to start from scratch?" With wisdom gleaned from experience and seasoned with humor, McLaren presents not another "here's the way" approach, but thirteen tested strategies that can help pastors and congregations of every kind to determine where they want to go ... and how to get there.

Book Description
Each of us has to make our own way through Life. Along the way, there are common experiences we all will encounter, just as our parents did and their parents before them. Some experiences have happy endings; others do not. Would anyone want to have painful experiences, you may ask? The answer, of course, is that no one truly wants pain and suffering in one’s life. We all wish for the good life for ourselves, la dolce vita, so to speak. Yet from time immemorial the uninitiated even when forewarned, repeat the errors of their forbears, never seeming to listen and to learn from their experiences. In a word, they “re-invent the wheel.” But that does not have to be! If we know we could avoid certain pitfalls, would we not hearken to sound advice? Would we not welcome the opportunity to take the well travelled path of Life free of danger or embarrassment or pain? Don’t Re-invent the Wheel! takes the reader through the normal periods of one’s life, beginning with Grammar School and High School days and then The Years after High School. After that time, the next major road to cross is Engagement and Marriage as one settles into a long-term, lasting relationship. Also during these years we assume our role as the Good Citizen. These then are the life experiences openly discussed in this volume. Through informal conversations the author focuses on the pitfalls to avoid and the experiences to anticipate with the hope that a “sneak preview” of Life will fortify the reader and help him or her to avoid repeating unnecessary mistakes; in other words, “re-inventing the wheel.”
