<DIV>This book offers an energizing Christian vision for the art of teaching. The authors &mdash; experienced teachers themselves &mdash; encourage teacher-readers to reanimate their work by imagining it differently. David Smith and Susan Felch along with Barbara Carvill Kurt Schaefer Timothy Steele and John Witvliet creatively use three metaphors &mdash; journeys and pilgrimages gardens and wilderness buildings and walls &mdash; to illuminate a fresh vision of teaching and learning. Stretching beyond familiar clich&eacute;s they infuse these metaphors with rich biblical echoes and theological resonances that will inform and inspire Christian teachers everywhere.</DIV><BR />
