Publisher's Synopsis
Could today's educators actually be teaching the students who will live through the "end times" described in scripture? If so, then what is the responsibility of schools and its educators in preparing students for this possibility?
It is said that a nation's schools reflect its society. If this is true, then our schools are turning away from God and traditional values as the nation does. Could it be that our schools are unwittingly aiding in this or simply reflecting this turn?
How does a Christian educator function in today's environment? Should they ever raise their voice? How should they discipline and teach godly morals? Should students even be able to tell that they are Christians?
Many of today's educators are deeply concerned with the lack of skills, work ethics, and basic knowledge that our students are entering adult life with. Christian educators are gripped by the added worry over the apathy and eroding sense of morality they often witness from students.
Furthermore, Christian educators must follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, while in a secular world with the task of educating students, maintaining discipline, and inspiring students to seek greatness in a world that often encourages mediocrity.
This book examines the predicaments of Christian educators. It is filled with one teacher's stories during a twenty-five-year span in education. Lane Jones shares the strategies and philosophies that God has taught him during his time in front of a classroom in order to serve his students while serving his Lord.
There are several incidents in scripture where a person's godly potential was so evident that Satan or his demons asked about them by name. This book challenges anyone involved in educating the young to be such a force that Satan takes notice. May the demons know your name.
