Discipleship & Christian Education
“Towards the end of his book, John Shortt quotes Samuel Rutherford: 'Grace groweth best in winter,' then remarking 'the classroom at times can be a very wintry place.' For those who desire to be faithful servants of Jesus even in 'the wintery places,' this book offers a deeply Christian, deeply spiritual, and deeply personal reflection. This is an inspirational read for those who aspire to be 'Bible-shaped' in their ministry of teaching.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“This is a gem of a book. Reports of educational research are often hard work for the professional educator and difficult to apply in school. This book is exactly the opposite. It combines rigorous research with a highly accessible written style and practical outcomes for schools to implement. The challenge of integrating technology with Christian learning is dealt with through an in-depth case study. The clear structure, frequent summaries, easily digestible chapters, and thought-provoking questions make this a masterpiece in communication. Every Christian school should have at least one copy in its staff library and use it for staff development.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Through reflective storytelling from his extensive experience, David Smith offers his readers profound insights into how Christian faith can be powerfully communicated through everyday teaching practices and habitual teacher behaviors. Every Christian teacher needs to read this book.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“In Flourishing Together, Lynn Swaner and Andy Wolfe lift the eyes of Christian educators from the easily overwhelming responsibilities of their daily work to refocus on an inspiring portrayal of their Christian purpose. They remind us of the importance of giving our attention to vision, priorities, and mindset if we are to promote flourishing for our students, educators, and schools. Bringing together insights from the USA and the UK, this unique book weaves together research themes, biblical insights, and reflective exercises to create a resource that can be used by individuals or as a staff professional development stimulus. Read this book and you will be challenged to reimagine your practice in ways that enable your students and staff to experience ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10).”
Christian Living
“Wow! This book is not to be missed. Elmer Thiessen's life's work has been dedicated to developing a Christian mind. In Healthy Christian Minds he focuses on how Christians should relate to those with whom they profoundly disagree. His answer: by cultivating biblical intellectual virtues. Both readable and rigorous, this book offers Christians who care about Truth an alternative to the rabbit hole of culture wars.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Carsten Pedersen’s latest book will be welcomed by every Christian who is seeking to be a responsible influencer for Christ. It combines deep insight with practical guidance. A great addition to the literature on Christian education.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Too often as teachers we worry about the words we are using and forget to pay attention to what we are actually saying to our pupils through our practice. In this innovative book Ken Badley and Harro Van Brummelen have brought together essays which help us to distinguish these. By focusing on the metaphors that shape our work, they have provided a resource that will have a significant impact on our classrooms.”
Pedagogy and Education for Life
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Trevor Cairney has made an important and innovative contribution to Christian education in writing this book. Most importantly, he has focused on offering a practical, theologically rigorous understanding of pedagogy, which surely must be the prime, but oft-ignored, responsibility of Christian schools. In a culture that is increasingly focused on compliance and knowledge transmission, Cairney offers an inspiring, alternative vision of Christian formation.”
