Synopsis Discover Your Blind Spots by : Mark Baxter
Each of us has blind spots that can hamper our making and maintaining meaningful relationships. Although over time we may come to recognize them, they are typically hidden, unseen by us, which is why we call them "blind spots." They are aspects of our behavior that do damage to our relationships with others. Some of us are continually reminded of them by others, but we either refuse to see them or simply don't know what to do to eliminate them from our lives. If left alone, they develop and in time can do terrible damage to ourselves and those we love. In this book, author Mark Baxter reveals seventeen of the most common blind spots that foul relationships, and offers examples of how they do and how we can identify them, and process them out of our lives so we can be more Christlike. This book could quite well save a meaningful relationship that you have. Please don't wait until it's too late. God's plan is to conform you to the image of His Son, Jesus. Allow this to be your guidebook, and Mark to be your guide. Rid yourself today of debilitating blind spots today. Get your copy today.

Synopsis Blind Spots by : Kimberly Nix Berens
In the United States, a majority of students graduate below proficiency in all academic subjects. Parents of struggling students feel overwhelmed and confused about how to help their children simply survive school, let alone succeed. Various school reform efforts have been tried and all have failed. But all hope is not lost. A science exists that allows children to learn as individuals even though at school they are educated in groups. One that avoids senseless labels that sentence children to lifetimes of failure and mediocrity. Dr. Kimberly Berens and a team of scientists have spent the last 20 years perfecting a powerful system of instruction based on the learning, behavioral, and cognitive sciences that they call Fit Learning. This method of teaching has been proven to markedly improve how students understand and achieve, even for children who have been told they have learning disabilities or other disorders that interfere with their ability to learn. Blind Spots reveals the history of our broken education system and shows that by using this teaching system in the classroom, we can unlock the vast potential hidden within every child.
