CHAPTER II - THE GREAT OBJECTIVE
A practical guide for anyone charged with shaping young minds in a church setting, this work blends timeless spiritual purpose with the latest insights from educational science. It begins by urging teachers to ground themselves in confidence and a clear sense of calling, while also mastering the craft of instruction so that their message can truly resonate.
The book then maps out a step‑by‑step framework: defining the teacher’s role, outlining the spiritual growth teachers aim to foster, and setting concrete goals for knowledge, attitudes, and daily application. It offers thoughtful advice on selecting and organizing material, and presents clear methods for delivering lessons that inspire genuine religious experience. Ideal for teacher‑training courses, seasoned educators, and even ministers seeking fresh ideas, the text balances scholarly rigor with real‑world classroom examples.
