The inspiring account of how Philip Harris took on the near-impossible challenge of turning around failing state schools.In 1986, the Harris Academy in Crystal Palace was a broken school, with a pass rate of 9 per cent, truancy of 60 per cent and teachers who seldom lasted longer than six months. Today, the Harris City Academy Crystal Palace is hailed as one of the best in the country.This transformation was the blueprint for a national education revolution. Harriss achievement paved the way for the academies movement, now accounting for nearly half of Englands schools.The same remarkable effect can be seen throughout the Harris Federation, the most successful multi-academy trust in England, which runs fifty-five state academies with 45,000 students and 5,000 staff. Every single one is rated Good or better by Ofsted, and seven were recently listed in an international report as World Class.The Harris revolution is also the story of the extraordinary improvement in our education system over the past twenty years. In 2009, England lagged at twenty-seventh in the world for maths and twenty-fifth for reading. In 2025, a PISA report showed it is the best-performing country in Europe and internationally trails only four nations.All Can Achieve reveals the inside story of how this phenomenal change was wrought.

Severing the Root of Sin with the Promises of God No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. Thatpromise enslaves usuntil we believe that God is more desirable than life itself(Psalm 63:3). Only the power of Gods superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin.Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of 8 common sins that ensnare us: anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust. Delighting in the bounty of Gods glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.Practical: fresh introduction and conclusion paired with distilled application chapters from John Pipers larger volume, Future GraceExplores Sanctification: Helps readers put sin to death and trust in the power of God instead Written by John Piper: Author of Desiring God; Dont Waste Your Life; Providence; and more
