John Edmund Haggai, founder and president of the Haggai Institute for Advanced Leadership Training, says the Bible's instruction for success often contrasts sharply with the world's advice—and it is this difference that makes all the difference for those who follow it. With clear steps, Scripture references, and encouraging examples, Dr. Haggai presents 13 profound principles based on God's Word that lead each reader to a radically different, eternal approach to true success and fulfillment: Beware the team of one. Believe you can because you know you can't. Enjoy failures—they're good for you. Keep it simple. Be famous for being good. This practical, biblical, and thoughtful guide will inspire readers at every stage of life and in all vocations and occupations to walk in God's will toward great things and godly legacies.

Retention and Resistance combines personal student narratives with a critical analysis of the current approach to retention in colleges and universities, and explores how retention can inform a revision of goals for first-year writing teachers. Retention is a vital issue for institutions, but as these students’ stories show, leaving college is often the result of complex and idiosyncratic individual situations that make institutional efforts difficult and ultimately ineffective. An adjustment of institutional and pedagogical objectives is needed to refocus on educating as many students as possible, including those who might leave before graduation. Much of the pedagogy, curricula, and methodologies of composition studies assume students are preparing for further academic study. Retention and Resistance argues for a new kairotic pedagogy that moves toward an emphasis on the present classroom experience and takes students’ varied experiences into account. Infusing the discourse of retention with three individual student voices, Powell explores the obligation of faculty to participate in designing an institution that educates all students, no matter where they are in their educational journey or how far that journey will go.
