"An Introduction to Education in Bible Times is an in-depth study of God's methods of educating the ancient Israelites and the early followers of Jesus. Using a meticulous analysis of biblical texts, Chris demonstrates the central role of education for the Jewish people, as he traces the theme of teaching and learning from the creation of man through the creation of Israel and the apostolic church. Both Jewish and Christian students of Scripture will greatly benefit from this thought-provoking study of education in biblical times and its pivotal role in the spiritual formation of God's people. I would highly recommend this work for personal study and practical implementation in the classroom." -Igal German, Ph.D., Centre for Jewish Studies at York University, and Shiloh University. "An Introduction to Education in Bible Times is a bridge-builder between times and cultures. Chris Reeves' explanation of the Jewish background of religious education both before and during Jesus's time helps us to more clearly understand the concept of "making disciples" the way Jesus did. This book presents a refreshing and informative guide to fulfilling the Great Commission through discipleship (Matthew 28:18-20). It is a must-read for disciples and disciple-makers." -Nicholas A. Venditti, Ph.D. and Leona K. Venditti, Ed.D., Co-founders, INSTE Bible College.

'If only stones could speak.' Often, when we visit historic towns, churches, castles, or old family mansions, we wish that the people who were once connected with those places could step out of the shadowy walls and tell us stories about their distant past. This book aims to do just that, combining the history of the great city of Norwich with revelations concerning the lives and labours, the lamentations and loves, of rich and poor, the great and the ungodly, throughout the last 1,000 years. Drawing on information derived from historic documents, tomb inscriptions, parish records, diaries and newspapers, Norwich: The Biography conjures up a vivid panorama of life in one of Britain's most warm-hearted and fascinating cities.

A fabulous collection of ghost hauntings in Suffolk, from the infamous Black Dog of Bungay to the headless Anne Boleyn stalking visitors at Blickling Hall. The serene, low-lying countryside of Suffolk, with its scattered farms, water-meadows and extensive coastline, seems an unlikely area to be associated with ghosts and demons. Yet, a motley array are said to haunt the region. The most famous is the Black Dog, a spectral hound, which in the year 1577 terrorised and killed parishioners in the churches of Bungay and Blythburgh, and continues to exert a strong presence today. Other strange phenomena include phantom coaches, rattling through the countryside at night, drawn by spectral horses and driven by a headless coachman, and the freshwater mermaids who lure young children to their deaths in pools and rivers. Tobias Gill the black drummer haunts the crossroads near Blythburgh where he was hanged for the murder of a servant girl, and Mrs. Short, the 'Queen of Hell', can still raise the hairs on your neck if you wander in the region of Boulge Hall near Woodbridge. Famous characters such as Anne Boleyn, Earl Hugh Bigod, and St. Edmund add an additional lustre to folk tales of the area, and strange happenings occur in many of the churchyards, Suffolk having more churches per acre than almost any other county. This fascinating account of local 'sightings' deals with all the traditional historical legends as well as modern day sightings, and investigates their relevance and significance for the modern age.

In Nothing is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life, Christopher Reeve challenges readers not to accept limitations - those set by oneself or by others - but to harness our untapped resources.
