Here’s a call out to all teachers or to anyone who loves a teacher. What if your classroom could be a sanctuary and not just a battlefield? A place where God���s presence transforms every challenge? In From the Playground to the Battleground, veteran teacher Michelle Ruddell invites fellow educators to rediscover the joy and purpose in their calling. Through forty powerful devotions, she weaves together Scripture, prayer, and personal anecdotes, addressing the triumphs and trials of teaching with honesty and hope.
