Breaking the Cycle tells the inspiring story of young people whom many would write off as a lost cause but who, thanks to a remarkable school, are headed for success. We learn about their world from teens like Shawna, the daughter of a crack-addicted mother. Or Andre, the only one in his family not on drugs. Or Daron, kicked out of his home by an abusive father. Challenged by the pernicious factors of their environment--drugs, violence, fatherless homes, and poor educational backgrounds--students at the Dayton Early College Academy are nevertheless beating the odds. All are headed for...

By turns a teacher, traitor, kingmaker, and visionary, Gerbert is the first Christian known to teach math using the nine Arabic numerals and zero.
In The Abacus and the Cross, Nancy Marie Brown skillfully explores the new learning Gerbert brought to Europe. A... The medieval Catholic Church, widely considered a source of intolerance and inquisitorial fervor, was not anti-science during the Dark Ages--in fact, ...

A Study Guide for G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi

Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi, we discover a man of paradox, bearing great resemblance to his biographer. We see a man in love with God and all creation, singing in the woods, calming the wild wolf, preaching to the birds and squirrels. Yet we see this same man beating his body, rolling in the snow to freeze burning desires, praying and fasting until illness, and then receiving the puzzling gift of the stigmata. How can we make sense of Francis? By reading Chesterton's biography. Chesterton understood the man of Assisi as few other biographers did. This study guide to...
