Skyhorse Publishing Flight of the Reindeer: The True Story of Santa
Book SynopsisDid you know that Santa Claus returns to the North Pole 1,756 times during Christmas Eve? Or that he averages about 75 million miles over the course of 31 hours? Back in 1000 AD his sleigh was originally made of bone and ivory, but now it's entirely constructed of graphite and stainless steel, even providing a durable swivel seat!Indeed, there has never been anything quite like Flight of the Reindeer. Most, if not all writers, have approached the adored Santa Claus tale in a variety of ways, but none have tried to explore the reasons behind it. Robert Sullivan provides documentation from Santalogists, historians, zoologists, and Arctic explorers to confirm that flying reindeer are anything but a myth, and that Santa Claus does, in fact, make his trek around the globe each Christmas Eve. Glenn Wolff's insightful and profoundly detailed illustrations impeccably coincide with Sullivan's comprehensive research to provide a classic for children and their parents. A must-have for the holiday season!

National Science Teachers Association Making Sense of Science and Religion: Strategies
Book SynopsisThe authors of Making Sense of Science and Religion believe that addressing interactions between science and religion is part of all science educators’ collective job—and that this is the book that will help you facilitate discussion when the topic of religion comes up.Designed for teachers at all grade levels, the book will help you anticipate and respond to students’ questions—and help students reconcile their religious beliefs even as you delve into topics such as evolution, geochronology, genetics, the origin of the universe, and climate change.The book is divided into three parts: 1. Historical and cultural context, plus a framework for addressing science-religion issues in a legal, constitutional manner. 2. Guidance on teaching specific scientific concepts at every grade level: elementary, middle, and high school science, as well as college and informal science settings. 3. Advice for engaging families, administrators, school boards, legislators and policy makers, and faith communities. The book’s authors are all personally and professionally invested in the subject. They are a mix of K–12 teachers, college professors, and experts from organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. They know that teaching about the interaction between science and religion is not easy.But they also know that educators have an ethical obligation to minimize the perceived conflict between science and religion. As the authors write, “When students hear a consistent message during science instruction—that they can learn science while maintaining their religious beliefs—they are much more willing to learn regardless of messages to the contrary that they might hear outside of your classroom.”

Jessica Kingsley Publishers God-Curious: Exploring Eternal Questions
Book SynopsisIn a world where religion refuses to expire, two responses predominate. The first, to retrench within the certainties of one's native or adopted faith, questioning nothing; the second, to sneer and snarl from the secular side-lines. Here, Stephen Cherry offers a third alternative for religious believer, agnostic, and atheist alike - to engage with the study of theology.Confessing himself to be a reluctant theologian, Cherry puts forward three positive reasons why more people should take theology seriously - because it's fascinating, fun and important. He suggests that genuine theology is the antidote to fundamentalism, contrasts the theological approaches of Jesus of Nazareth and Richard Dawkins, introduces some of the biggest puzzles unravelled by theology, and reviews the history of the subject in fewer than 20 tweets.Drawing people at all stages of life into a more serious engagement with the riches, delights and fun of theology, it is a book for any who find themselves to be a little God-curious.Trade ReviewThis is an unusual and original book designed to interest and encourage those thinking of studying theology or religious studies as an academic discipline - more specifically, those thinking of reading it at university. Unlike many academic subjects, Cherry argues, theology is more a matter of the questions you ask, than any traditional certainties: 'as an enterprise [it] only makes sense if you know that you don't know all the answers already.' Supporting his thesis by a sweeping history of Christianity in 20 Tweets, the Dean of Kings College, Cambridge, gives an interesting and thoughtful introduction to a subject that has increasingly come to fascinate him the more he has studied it. -- Stephen Prickett, Regius Professor Emeritus of English, University of Glasgow, and Honorary Professor, University of Kent at CanterburyIn a world of glib sound-bites, a world that sneers at 'experts', it has never been more important to encourage people to read and think for themselves. Stephen Cherry's accessible, passionate and entertaining introduction to the key ideas of Christian Theology does just that. Vital ideas are explained lucidly and powerfully, old ideas are brought to life in new contexts, and Stephen Cherry not only makes the case for theology, but stimulates a new enthusiasm for it. -- Malcolm Guite, Priest, Poet, and Chaplain of Girton College, CambridgeIn the 21st century, theology might appear to be some historical residue left over from out-of-date worldviews, and studying it as quirky as trying to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics - but less interesting. Stephen Cherry characteristically makes us think again, pointing to theology as the disciplined, human and holistic way in which we explore the eternal questions that hover over every century. The rumour of God that circles the book, implying that reality might be worthy of trust, is compelling and unignorable. I hope this work will entice a new generation of theologians fit for purpose, imaginative in language, engagement and prayer. -- Canon Mark Oakley, Chancellor of St Paul’s CathedralThis book is an invitation to ask deep questions. With brevity, clarity, and cheerful honesty Stephen Cherry explains how he came to be captivated by these questions - questions about God, about the purpose of life, about the nature of love - and beckons his readers to join him. Even if you have never before considered studying theology, this may well be the book that will persuade you to dive in. -- Professor Mike Higton, Theology and Ministry, Durham UniversityIn this short meditation on the meaning and importance of the theological quest, psychologist Cherry frames the discussion in a helpful way, viewing study as 'fun, fascinating, and important.' Cherry peeks into the many corners of the questioning world (both religious and not), from Socrates to Richard Dawkins, to flesh out his thesis. This approach works well as he paints a picture of an all-encompassing approach to the contemplation of religious ideas. Chapter 8 cleverly presents the study to a modern audience with 'A History of Christian Theology in Fewer than Twenty Tweets.' Drawing from the Bible and other texts, Cherry distills the theological quest into bite-sized units, focusing on ideas that relate to a contemporary audience seeking answers to their highest questions. 'Theology today has a huge and complex agenda, which can perhaps be boiled down to one very short, eternal question: What really matters?' This nicely sums up Cherry's thesis in this very readable, illuminating work. -- Publishers WeeklyOne important aim of this book is to encourage young people to study theology at university, though it could equally well be used to stimulate anyone's interest in the subject. ...it gives a clear treatment of some difficult topics, and covers a huge range of material in some hundred and twenty pages. In conclusion, if you like its style, I think you will find this book both enjoyable and stimulating. -- Adrian Roberts * The Reader *Table of Contents1. Confessions of a Reluctant Theologian. 2.

Whilst there are specific learning objectives for each activity, the implicit focus of them all is on the development of self-concept and mental wellbeing. That the book covers these vital areas with activities that are fun and engaging is testament to the extensive practical experience Claire and Kate have in walking the talk. -- Jamie Galpin, Developmental Psychologist at The Bridge London TrustThis book is great for those days when the sheer volume of teaching resources online gets too overwhelming. There are a range of simple and creative ideas for classroom activities, which educators can easily sieve through, and adapt for children in their own classes. For teachers who are new to teaching Religious Education, this book also offers some helpful ways to introduce faith and belief into the classroom, and start to implement a locally agreed RE syllabus. -- Tracy Edwards, Associate Director of Teaching School, Swiss Cottage School, Development & Research CentreThis book will prove invaluable to all teachers. The lessons and activities are well thought out, well structured and easily resourced, reducing the workload of teachers and ensuring that all children can be fully included in their R.E., PSHE and Citizenship lessons. -- James Malone, Deputy Headteacher Hollingworth Primary SchoolWhat a great resource for a busy teacher! I have always found PSHE and RE sessions tricky within a special setting, but this book helps with the different aspects of these subjects and makes it work for children with SEND. The layout makes it easy to flick through the book to find ideas or activities that you are looking for.This book includes aspects of mindfulness and wellbeing which is so important for my class and the inclusion of gongs etc. is something I hadn't thought of before! -- Virginia Truss, special needs teacherTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1.
