Enlarged print edition now available! Writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us see the great sweep of this letter. Romans has long been viewed as the book above all in which Paul puts forth the basic doctrines of the faith, and the picture of God's life for us. It is the classic setting-out of the Gospel.

Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions.

For a subject that is a challenge at all levels of education, this chart covers principles for basic algebra, intermediate algebra and college algebra courses.   

Inside Visual Attention in Children: Theories and Activities, Dr. Kenneth A. Lane describes the positive aspects of attention that are needed for children to be successful in the classroom, such as concentration and vigilance, as opposed to negative aspects that can lead to failure, such as distractibility and confusion.

This book is divided into two parts. The first eight chapters of the book explain attention and its relationship to vision and visual stimuli. The core topics discussed here include Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Executive Function, and Memory. The second half outlines a Vision Therapy program and consists of activities for improving visual attention in children. Over 100 activities are explained and illustrated.

Visual Attention in Children: Theories and Activities is anchored on current theories in five areas of attention that shape child development.

Theories Described Include:
- Focused Attention - The ability to respond discreetly to visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli
- Selective Attention - The ability to maintain behavioral or cognitive abilities in the face of distracting or competing stimuli
- Shifting Attention - The ability to rapidly shift attention from one object to another
- Sustained Attention - The ability to maintain a consistent behavioral response during a continuous or repetitive activity
- Divided Attention -The ability to engage in more than one attention-focused task at one time.

Visual Attention in Children: Theories and Activities is the perfect tool for occupational therapy students and clinicians as well as other professionals specializing in child development and learning who are looking to enhance their understanding of this topic and who need unique ideas and activities to add to their visual therapy training programs.
