He illustrates ways in which this truth, taken to heart and applied to educators and students alike can transform relationships at every level in schools. This book extends his vision to the public school setting, building on the foundation laid in his earlier book for Christian school settings "Teaching Redemptivily" And Donovan Graham is one of those rare educators whose own character and practice throughly exemplify and embody the advice he gives to others. I know from working alongside him that he amply incarnates the grace-filled practice that he advocates here" --Dr Daphne Wharton Haddad, Professor of Education and former colleague of Dr Graham, Covenat College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia. "As a Christian public school teacher, I clearly see the dark clouds that threaten our effectiveness in living out the image of God in our teaching: standardized test scores, pacing and curriculum guides, and an overall reductionist approach in regard to students. Dr. Gaham's newest book encourages and challenges us that we must never forget that our calling is more than getting good test scores from our students. Our calling is to live out the gospel and present to our students the grace of the living and true God, even in the midst of public education." --Christian Clark, Hixson Elementary School, Hixson, Tennessee "The strength of this book is that it charts a course for how Christians who are teaching in public schools can do so in ways that reflect the gospel of grace without reducing the complexity of our calling. This book is realistic and biblical. It asks and answers the questions that thoughtful Christian public school teachers want to know and provides a framework for faithfulness. Highly recommended!" --Mark Redfern. sixth-grade Social Studies teacher, Burns Middle School, Owensboro, Kentucky
