Hello! Welcome to Chris and Nick's A to Z Band Challenge, a gloriously pointless project in which two grown men waste too much time and money seeing a band a month, going through the alphabet, with a few extra conditions thrown in to make it a bit more interesting.

If we are living in the era of Helicopter Parents and No Child Left Behind, then my seventies upbringing can easily be labeled as the era of All Children Left Behind. Sure, there was Dr. Spock and his earnest pleas for greater nurturing, but my New Jersey neighborhood was more aligned with another doctor; Dr. Charles Darwin.

How long does a lost child hold onto hope?"When did you stop caring? Go into any kindergarten classroom and ask those kids how many want to become readers. All hands go up. They keep them up until you give them some eye contact because they want you to know that they are well on their way to becoming readers. And now you're all in this remedial class with your failing grades and bad reputations. So, when did you all stop caring?" No one, dear reader, is prepared for Maxx's answer or his chilling tail of death, struggle, and murder.Come read a book that has long been student approved. When writing a book based on struggling readers, Mr. Bowen went straight to the source. Each chapter became an assignment in an eighth grade classroom of students who once boasted about not having read a book since the second grade. His inspiration became his mentors and his toughest critics. They would not let it go until they felt he had told it right. Come see for yourself.

How much do you know about the history of Australia's oldest political party, the Australian Labor Party? You know the big names: Curtin, Chifley, Whitlam, Hawke and Keating. But what about the names behind the big names? The unsung and overlooked True Believers who have been the backbone of the Labor Party for 130 years? In Labor People, Chris Bowen investigates the stories of six great Australians, passionate servants of their party. Spanning the 1890s to the 1970s, in paying tribute to these Labor warriors he also tells an important part of the history of Labor and Australia. Who was the first loyal deputy and lynchpin of the earliest Labor governments? Which leading advocate of votes for women went on to play an important but unrecognised role in Australia's literary history? Who did Labor turn to in its darkest First World War hours when its very existence was under threat? Who did Curtin and Chifley turn to for their hardest jobs? Which Labor loyalist called her own party out on police brutality when it wasn't fashionable? Which minister was Whitlam's steadiest performer? The answers to all these questions and more lie in the pages of Labor People.

Politics around the world is being turned on its head and the fakes, the fraudsters and the snake-oil merchants are winning. Why?

Is your financial window swollen shut or swung open?God cares about your money even more than you do-not because he needs it, but because your finances reveal more than you can imagine about your relationship with God, your family, your church and the world around you.

Dr. Bowen tackles topics such as ...keeping money from ruining your marriage,conquering credit-card debt,how tithing works,understanding the 100-fold return,and much more. With transparency and candor, Dr. Bowen reveals his own challenges with handling money God's way and draws simple, practical steps from Scripture that transform the way you will look at your job, your bank account and the offering plate.
