Christian Focus Publications Ltd C.S. Lewis: The Story Teller
Book Synopsis Adventures into another world, stories of mystery and wonder, these are what fascinated and excited Clive. He was just a boy but would sit for hours writing stories where animals came to life and lived and spoke just like human beings. This little boy grew up to become the world famous writer C. S. Lewis. However throughout his life he preferred to be called Jack. The reasons for this peculiar change of name and other interesting facts and stories about C. S. Lewis are retold in this book. It was written in the centenary year of his birth - this is a reprint. This book takes you into the life of C. S. Lewis, the child, the scholar, the husband, the writer and the believer in God. Derick Bingham has researched this book thoroughly and has lovingly retold the story of this great storyteller. Trade Review‘I was challenged to write this book by my friend the distinguished sculptor Ross Wilson. At that time he was preparing his CS Lewis Centenary Sculpture to be erected in the great man's native city, Belfast in Northern Ireland. As I live in Belfast it was a privilege to be writing about our city's most famous writer, his upbringing, his adventures and how he came to know the Lord Jesus. As I researched his life I was amazed to discover how much sorrow CS Lewis experienced and I was deeply inspired by how he overcame his difficulties. My greatest joy following the writing of this book has been to see it published in Chinese.' -- Derick Bingham; Author (Was the teaching pastor at Christchurch, Belfast)If you like this, you'll love this:Ten boys who used their talents by Irene Howat. This title includes a chapter on C. S. Lewis.Also why not look at the title: Talking about Dragons by William Chad Newsom. This is a review of the work of Tolkien and Lewis and how to use these to develop and encourage family devotional times. -- Catherine Mackenzie; Children's Editor (Author and CF4K Editor)

Cambridge University Press The Experience of Education in AngloSaxon
Book SynopsisThis engaging study explores how early medieval writers reflected on the nature of education and the acquisition of wisdom. By studying representations of teaching and learning in five early English texts, Irina Dumitrescu sheds light on the underappreciated emotional and cognitive complexities of Anglo-Saxon instruction.Trade Review'The Experience of Education in Anglo-Saxon Literature does full justice to the Anglo-Saxon interest in pedagogy and the complexity of their attitudes to it. It is also beautifully written, peppered with deft turns of phrase … Dumitrescu has produced a hugely enjoyable, informative, and thought-provoking monograph, which will be of interest to all scholars of early medieval literature.' Susan Irvine, Speculum'Through its patient and generous attention to the literature of early medieval England, [this book] allows the emotional world of literate Anglo-Saxons to live again in its complexity and richness, and demonstrates how much can be evoked even from seemingly resistant works like grammars and translations. Elegant and stylish as well as learned, it is a lovely exemplar of genuinely humanistic scholarship.' Emily Thornbury, Anglia'Dumitrescu's readings are meticulous and thought-provoking.' Hana Videen, The Times Literary Supplement'… modern education owes much to a period that fused antique conceptions of education with Christian ascetic practices, generating a complex amalgam of educational techniques and understandings that would, with modification, furnish the materials from which modern educational establishments and relationships were built. Irina Dumitrescu's study furthers our understanding of this inheritance by exploring the logic of an alien but nonetheless related educational order. As it does so, it draws attention to what has become the disavowed underbelly of modern educational practice, studying the role of suffering and discomfort in Anglo-Saxon scenes of instruction.' Ansgar Allen, British Journal of Educational Studies'This is a book that should be read and digested by all Anglo-Saxonists. It is a model of clarity and well-structured argumentation. It is deeply informed by the author's wide reading and skill in critical interpretation, and forms a highly significant contribution to the field.' Greg Waite, Parergon'Irina Dumitrescu has written a learned, eloquent, and seminal book that exposes widespread pedagogical metaphors in pre-Conquest writings … Treating education as an emotional struggle, Dumitrescu observes how compositions, translations, and adaptations telegraph intricate 'fictions of teaching' that evoke an author's didactic experience - not just his schooling … With sublime prose, persuasive evidence, and extraordinary originality, it obviously achieves the highest standard of academic excellence.' Scott Gwara, English Studies'… the volume … traces a remarkable and personal history of teaching and learning in Anglo-Saxon England … the topic is fully elaborated upon and justified by a successful close reading of a wide range of texts, endorsed by innumerable cross-references to other Old English and Latin works as well as to literary criticism.' Patrizia Lendinara, The Journal of English and Germanic Philology'… the readings in this volume are rich and persuasive, and Dumitrescu brings deserved attention to some underappreciated texts. Her writing is clear and sometimes lyrical, and even with its accounts of pain and frustration, The Experience of Education is a pleasure to read.' Nicole Guenther Discenza, Modern Philology'The Experience of Education is elegantly written and rigorously researched. Its new takes on much-studied texts will revitalize scholarly discussions … No doubt those studying these individual works, their respective genres, Old English and Latin literature, educational history, or monastic culture will have much to learn about learning from Dumitrescu's monograph.' Laura Saetveit Miles, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und LiteraturenTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Letters: Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People; 2. Prayer: Solomon and Saturn I; 3. Violence: Ælfric Bata's colloquies; 4. Recollection: Andreas; 5. Desire: the life of St Mary of Egypt; Conclusion: the ends of teaching.

The inclusion of activities tailored to the course ensures that teachers can turn theoretical concepts and critical theory into engaging classroom experiences. I finished the book with plenty of notes and ideas to try out in my lessons that can potentially support my students in developing their writing and speaking skills for the assessments.Waller is also interested in fostering real-world skills in students, particularly in the final chapter. Teachers will find plenty of ideas and activities that not only enrich the curriculum but also prepare students for challenges beyond the classroom.Despite having taught English A for several years I am freshly inspired to try out new ways of delivering my lessons and I feel more confident about the conceptual elements of the course as well.
