Great book for all Christian teachers. The more teachers who read this, the better, because we all need to be more intentional about helping our students think Biblically. This book lays a great foundation for how to make this happen and starts a critical conversation.
Rooftop Perspectives starts with an intriguing narrative that will draw you in and make you wonder what's coming next. John, who teachers in China, is plagued by questions, doubts, and frustrations about his work and its purpose. But through his interactions with LiuPing and the intriguing tale that he tells, John starts to find some answers. Or more accurately, he starts to ask the right questions.
Towards the end of the book, the reader will experience an incredible shift from fiction to application as John experiences a string of exciting epiphanies.
And it wasn't just John who was excited. I found myself wanting to both slow down to digest these great thoughts and simultaneously read faster to find the next revelation.
Rooftop Perspectives lays the foundation for an incredible plan to reach students, whether you teach in a Christian, private, or public school. But it does something even more important - it prompts us all to discuss this important issue much more. There's nothing more important that discipling our students and helping them develop a strong faith for themselves. We can and must be more strategic and coordinated in our efforts, and I believe this incredible book is one of the first steps in the right direction.
