THE BIBLE STUDY TEACHER'S GUIDE
NOW AVAILABLE
FaithWalk Publishing has just released my newest book entitled The Bible Study Teacher’s Guide. The purpose of the book is to give practical helps to the Bible teacher who wants to improve his/her effectiveness in the classroom. The book will enable you, the reader, to determine whether or not God has called you to be a teacher of the Bible. If, after reading chapter one, you determine that the calling to teach is truly from God, then succeeding chapters will give insight into preparing lessons that will teach eternal truths and will engage the interest of the class as well as step-by-step tips that cover everything from walking to the podium and unpacking the lesson for your students to concluding your message with a real punch.
The book is designed to be of help to those who teach on on-going class or lead a Bible study on a regular basis as well as those who are asked to speak on a one-time basis to a gathering of older teens or adults. Even pastors who have read the book tell me that, although they have been in the pulpit for years, the tips in The Bible Study Teacher’s Guide help to update their preparation and presentation in order to make their messages applicable to today’s audiences.
When the publisher approached me a year or so ago about the possibility of writing a book on teaching the Bible, I was flattered but also realistic. I love to teach and have done so for many years, but I knew that there are lots of teachers out there with many more years’ of creative experience than I had. So I began to interview them. I am very grateful for the master teachers who gave me their time and provided thoughtful responses to my interview questions. Their wisdom is included in the pages of this book and has added significantly to the depth of the guidance and insight that is offered. I have interviewed a college president and college and seminary professors, high school teachers, pastors, and nationally known Christian leaders (such as Warren Wiersbe, Ravi Zacharias, and Erwin Lutzer). Readers will enjoy and benefit from their experience.
So, I hope you will enjoy the book, but I know the real test of its effectiveness will be in the way that it encourages you as a teacher and enables you to teach with joy and confidence as you see lives transformed under your leadership. Write to me with any feedback you may have! |
