Fundamentally, this book is a resource to help teachers become researchers. The idea is for teachers to learn to use the methods of scientific research to do research on their own classrooms and thereby improve learning outcomes for their students. Teachers can use the methods outlined in this book to understand what is happening in their classroom in the same way researchers in medicine, for example, use scientific research as they seek to understand whether a particular drug or procedure is effective at helping patients improve their health. Although this book is mainly for teachers, researchers other than teachers can use the methods in this book as a guide to their research. The methods described in this book are general-purpose strategies and can be applied in non-academic settings. For example, the material on reliability and validity can be used in connection with achievement tests developed by teachers themselves as well as general-purpose surveys in marketing, psychology, political science, and sociology, among other fields.

Beauty from Ashes is fiction and is a compilation of stories written for the author's wife as she battled leukemia. This compilation is a continuation of the author's book, Harbingers of Spring, in that it presents the growth of a festival over several decades in the Sweetwater Valley of Brown County, Indiana. This area is a location where the author spent his childhood years, where his grandfather's farm was located. There is no festival located there, only beauty, and the site still has the location of the author's grandmother's house where it sat before it burned to the ground. Rebuilding it would be senseless, as it originally sat too close to the road. An attempt was made, herein, to present a story of equality and diversity and describe what that might look like if all concerned strove for the same goal. Ugly is a presentation of racism concerning the mother of the author's childhood girlfriend. The mother presents total unbiased interactions, except toward one neighbor child. Isaiah 61 is used to outline the ups and downs of progress toward a multifaceted goal. In every situation and every confrontation, the author attempts to show an actuality of beauty developing from conflict and cruelty. It presents the human predicament through the inclusion of the most radical and diverse characters the author can imagine, all working together to achieve happiness. The forbidden love between a mixed child and a White child is a continuous thread throughout the book, with an almost conclusion, when in old age and helplessness, he is murdered and dies being cared for by his lover. The conclusion is from Genesis 1:2, Job 33:4, and Numbers 27:16 regarding the Hebrew word Ruach, wherein God's name is referred to as the sound of a breath, wherein we whisper God's name in every breath of our life and close our life with one final recognition of our living God. Love triumphs.This is the author's third book. He also wrote Butterfly Wars and Harbingers of Spring.

The book of Revelation or The Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ is not just a book of bad news, judgments, epidemics, great cosmic cataclysms, and a future world government full of darkness. It is also the message of the greatest love that can exist, God's love to save humanity from the terrible end that all those who did not want to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and chose to distance themselves from him will have to face. It is a book worth studying because of its placement at the end of the gospels and the Epistles. Furthermore, it represents the final act to complete the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and is the only book in the Bible that speaks of the beginning and the end of all times.

Wrought by a childhood replete with trying circumstances and telling experiences (conveyed in Frances Smith's earlier book), and in tandem with resultant beliefs and attitudes she held toward herself and the world she was about to enter, the commencement of legal adulthood also removed any buttressing protection minority provided. Too many confused and self-critical assessments would ill-serve this demoiselle. In time, those same assessments would transform into extremely harmful and life-threatening situations. Surviving would become a lifestyle for the author, which would shape not only her world but that of those whom she held most dear.Ms. Smith's adulthood was remarkable because of the duality consistently displayed between her professional abilities and achievements and her personal descent into depreciation and decline. This descent was birthed by a mentally imprinted sense of desperation inseminated by prevailing dogma, the flawed conclusions of youthful minds, and unattended hurts and breaches.This tale is a cautionary account. Similar to the brutality of a gauntlet one is forced to run, a few key choices in the life of this young woman vaulted her into a sort of awful test. Not failing would require overcoming deeply rooted beliefs and fears that sucked her backward in a downward spiral. Failing the test would mean no escape from an existence that was the antithesis of living.Scores of challenges the author faced in her adult life were nearly fantastical, so grueling and perverse were they. If any hope of victory existed, this woman's constitution must contain an extraordinary will to persevere and survive. Would the author discover that quality within herself, or would defeat ultimately claim her? This narrative relates what could be argued as the predictable plunge the author made into the depths, given the memories, messages, and conclusions in which she was cloaked as she debuted as an adult, already wearied from her life up to that point. This tale also abounds in efforts equally mesmerizing, which the principal made to try to save herself. There is no way to imagine the unspeakable journey that was Ms. Smith's adulthood. This story is simply a must read.
This book is dedicated to all those who grew up or are growing up in a less than desirable situation, as well as those who have been told they can't or won't make it. Additionally, this book is dedicated to God, who has taken care of me throughout my life, and my family whom I love dearly. To everyone, it's not about where you start. We as humans have this inherent ability to make decisions, meaning where we finish is up to us.
