You have a divine calling to reveal who Jesus is and what His Kingdom is like to the students God has entrusted to you with grace and truth. No matter where or what you are teaching, you have an incredible opportunity to participate in God's larger story and make His Kingdom visible. In the third edition of Teaching Redemptively, Donovan reviews perspectives to guide teachers in best practices and illustrates ways to teach for Kingdom transformation. Beyond techniques, he encourages you to deepen your personal intimacy with God so that you can thrive in spiritual health and well-being.
An excellent text on Christian teaching. Theologically grounded and packed with practical implications. An essential reader for all Christian teachers.
The author wanted this book to be disruptive, and he certainly accomplished that goal, at least in my life. Many of the ideas presented in this text challenged me and my understanding of what education should be. I don't necessarily agree with every proposed method or concept, but being forced to reexamine my own beliefs about education helped me a great deal. And in some areas my mind has indeed been changed. Most importantly, though, Donovan Graham clearly loves God, his students, and the field of education, and this love saturates every word he writes. Reading this book helped me remember exactly how important it is to create and maintain a culture of grace and redemption at my school and in my own classroom. I gladly recommend this book to my fellow teachers and any who are interested in the realm of education.
