As a teacher, you are
God's agent in the classroom.

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.

“Graham reminds us that the formation of habits through consistent practices will ultimately guide our students to desiring God's Kingdom and loving the one true King–Jesus Christ. I believe this book is just as important for a veteran educator as it is for a novice–I highly recommend it.”
– Larry Taylor, Ph.D., ACSI President & CEO

“Donovan Graham is one of the giants of Christian education. From those new to the classroom to those wizened owls who still need an encounter with God’s grace, this book is gold.”
– Michelle Dempsey, CEO, Christian Education National Australia

“This third edition has expertly taken the theological and philosophical foundations we have appreciated in the first two editions and created a text that will stimulate meaningful dialogue about what Christian schooling can and should be.”
– Kathryn L. Wiens, Ed.D., Executive Director, Council on Educational Standards and Accountability

“In Teaching Redemptively, Donovan Graham has given us a thoughtful book and challenged us to ensure our embodiment of Christian Education forms students into members of the Story of God and His people. I recommend it for those both new and old to Christian Education.”
– Dr. Dave Loewen, Executive Director, The Society of Christian Schools in BC
