Summary

This book is the gift of peace. And quiet. A little perspective in the middle of an overcrowded day. Inside you'll find Scriptures and short stories carved to fit the small bits of time in a busy teacher's schedule, yet filled with the kind of heart and humor that instantly communicates -- the firsthand experiences of teachers who've been there, teachers who understand, teachers who know how to help us see the miracles God can accomplish in a school day. Sometimes all it takes is a little Rest Stop. Book jacket.
