No matter what the philosophy or approach to education, no program can flourish without skilled and dedicated teachers. While some such teachers are born, Israel Galindo believes that many others can be made.
The author bases his advice on sound educational theory and on years of experience in Christian education. He is not content to develop merely good teachers. His ideas and principles will help teachers become the best they can possibly be. He addresses such questions as:
[via]
"What is unique about Christian education?
"Are some approaches to Christian teaching more appropriate than others?
"Is there a different way of learning not just information gathering that impacts faith matters?

› Find signed collectible books: 'Creative Bible Teaching'Book summary:Are you a bridge builder? Communicating the Scriptures is much like building a bridge. However, instead of ravines or rivers, the teacher must span both cultural boundaries and great gulfs of time between the present and the past of Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul. This bridge must reach even further. The student must be able to cross both into the past and into his own future. God's Word is "living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12). It is contemporary, relevant. But it is the teacher who has the task of helping the student to see its vast treasures. This is no easy task, but it can be done through creative Bible teaching.[via]
Together, Richards and Bredfeldt have written a book on bridge-building that reveals a detailed five-step process by which Christian educators can construct a bridge across time, geography, and culture.More editions of Creative Bible Teaching:

New Edition of the Classic Best Seller
Are You Tired of Comfortable Christianity?Disciples. Most Christians know little other than Christ had twelve of them and that He commissioned these men to make disciples of all nations. But just what is a 20th-century disciple and how do you go about becoming one?
Walt Henrichsen not only describes a modern disciple but explains how to make disciples of others. It's a process that begins with sharing the Good News of the Gospel and doesn't end until you've shared your life so completely with another person that he is fully committed to similar spiritual service.Discipleship is real sacrifice, but the reward is great-the satisfaction of knowing you have followed obediently in the footsteps of the Disciple-Maker Himself, Jesus Christ.
[via]
Walt Henrichsen, for many years associated with The Navigators in a leadership role, has since 1977 headed a discipling ministry for lay Christians in the business world. He has written a number of books, including this classic, first published in 1974. Walt and his wife, Leette, live in El Cajon, California.

Natural Church Development: A Guide to Eight Essential Qualities of Healthy Churchesby Christian SchwarzeISBN 1889638005 (1-889638-00-5)
Hardcover, Churchsmart Resources
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Natural Church Development: A Guide to Eight Essential Qualities of Healthy Churches'Book summary:Critics of the church growth movement have often emphasized the need for quality congregations. We should not focus on numerical growth, but rather, we should concentrate on qualitative growth.
Christian Schwarz has done extensive research world-wide and found that healthy, growing churches seem to share eight quality characteristics. These characteristics are:
Empowering leadership
Gift-oriented ministry
Passionate spirituality
Functional structures
Inspiring worship service
Holistic small groups
Need-oriented evangelism
Loving relationships
Schwarz uses the illustration of a barrel with eight staves to symbolize the eight quality characteristics. The barrel can only hold water to the height of the lowest stave. So too, Schwarz argues, a church can only grow as far as their 'Minimum factor,' which is the lowest of the eight quality characteristics in their church. He challenges churches to resist the temptation to work on improving areas in which they already excel, for by doing this they do not increase their minimum factor or their church quality.
This revised version of Natural Church Development now includes Schwarz's "3 Colors" teaching. [via]More editions of Natural Church Development: A Guide to Eight Essential Qualities of Healthy Churches:

Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning: An Approach to Distinctively Christian Educationby Doug WilsonISBN 0891075836 (0-89107-583-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning: An Approach to Distinctively Christian Education'Book summary:Public education in America has run into hard times. Even many within the system admit that it is failing. While many factors contribute, Douglas Wilson lays much blame on the idea that education can take place in a moral vacuum. It is not possible for education to be nonreligious, deliberately excluding the basic questions about life. All education builds on the foundation of someone's worldview. Education deals with fundamental questions that require religious answers. Learning to read and write is simply the process of acquiring the tools to ask and answer such questions.
A second reason for the failure of public schools, Wilson feels, is modern teaching methods. He argues for a return to a classical education, firm discipline, and the requirement of hard work.
Often educational reforms create new problems that must be solved down the road. This book presents alternatives that have proved workable in experience.
"Good at diagnosing our educational afflictions, Douglas Wilson is still better at finding remedies. His Logos School provides a model, a practical design, for the restoration in the curriculum of Christian humanism--as contrasted with what Christopher Dawson called secular humanism." --Russell Kirk, D. Litt., editor, The University Bookman

Ten Best Practices: To Make Your Sunday School Workby Kenneth S. Hemphill, Bill TaylorISBN 076739593X (0-7673-9593-X)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ten Best Practices: To Make Your Sunday School Work'Book summary:This book was a text book for a class that I took on Sunday School Leadership. At first the book seemed to be alright. The first few chapters were ok but towards the end every time that I picked it up it just made me furious. It had all these ideas on how to reach the "prospects" in your realm of influence. The problem was that "prospects" was all that they were. It was all about what we call the great commission of making disciples but never mentioned what Jesus called the great commandment. Loving people was not part of the 10 best practices. The book was hollow methodology. [via]
