Timeless An Essential Guide for Teaching the Faith helps faith leaders focus on equipping students for lifelong learning as they ask the big questions throughout life and look to the timeless truth of God's Word for answers. Using current educational research and best practices, author Pete Jurchen shares a philosophy for teaching the faith, uncovers why confirming the faith matters so much, and provides strategies for designing lessons around the big ideas of the faith. He shares valuable insights about different types of learning, ideas for asking the right questions, and meaningful ways to assess student learning. Whether you’ve taught confirmation for years or you’re brand new to the experience, this book provides a practical framework for helping students and their parents embrace confirmation as part of their lifelong identity as children of God.
There are a number of things in this book which I wish I had been taught before becoming a teacher myself. There are numerous guides and suggestions throughout it which I will likely return to to help me in the future.
The book is a good, easy read with practical application. There is not a ton of new material for professional educators but I can see how Confirmation volunteers would see this book as a God send!
