New Releases by Stephen Glenn

The Messiah Revealed is the first volume of the three-volume series Through the Eyes of a Shepherd, a historical narrative novel series grounded in the New Testament Gospels and told through the voice of Jonas, the adopted older brother, protector, and constant companion of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing directly from the Gospel accounts and supported by historically informed sacred imagination, the novel places readers within the lived world of first-century Judea, tracing the Savior''s journey from birth and childhood through preparation, baptism, and the first proclamation of the Kingdom of Heaven. The story follows the Holy Family through their flight into Egypt, years of exile in Alexandria, and return to Nazareth, illuminating the quiet years in which the foundations of Jesus''s mortal life were formed. It then turns outward to Jesus''s early public ministry, as He teaches, heals, and gathers disciples whose lives are reshaped by His call. Crowds press in hope. Religious leaders question and resist. Throughout, the narrative portrays Jesus not only as Messiah and Teacher, but as son, brother, husband, and father, presented in a reverent, human, and historically grounded portrayal of the Christ of the Gospels. Written in modern English, this novel does not replace scripture but seeks to illuminate the historical, cultural, and relational context of the New Testament, inviting readers to engage the Gospel story as lived experience rather than distant record.

Today''s classrooms are filled with children of varied backgrounds, and subject to many intrusive influences. How can teachers foster the essential skills and attitudes for success in their students? In "Positive Discipline in the Classroom, parenting experts Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, and H. Stephen Glenn address the popular concept of class meetings, where students and teachers discuss moral, ethical, and behavioral issues, and work together to solve problems. Students learn a number of social skills through the class-meeting process. They learn to listen, take turns, hear different points of view, negotiate, communicate, and take responsibility for their own behavior. It is only when students have these skills and attitudes--the "real "basics"--that reading, writing, and arithmetic can be used meaningfully in their lives.Inside Positive Discipline in the Classroom are chapters on such topics as: - The Positive Discipline Dream - Building Blocks for Successful Class Meetings - Effective Problem-Solving Skills - Classroom Management Skills - Teachers Helping Teachers--Problem-Solving Steps Using these, and other well-presented guidelines, teachers and parents can create a classroom climate that enhances academic learning, and teaches life-skills that are essential to every aspect of a child''s future.
