Summary

That, in a nutshell, is the high calling of teaching. It is a sacred and noble calling, yet one that is demanding and draining and sometimes even disappointing. That's why six Christian writers who share a love for teaching have come together in this book to offer biblical guidance, practical insights, personal stories, and words of encouragement for the daily challenges of teaching. Though they write in a variety of styles and draw from a multitude of experiences, they have a common purpose: to remind you that your efforts each day truly do make a difference-for your students, for the future of our country and world, and for God's kingdom. The writers include four classroom teachers and two principals, but all know firsthand both the difficulties and blessings of answering God's call to touch hearts and change lives through the vocation of teaching.
