Letters to Lisa is a practical book intended to stimulate Christian teachers to reflect on their practice as teachers. Its purpose is to help teachers see that everyday classroom practice is determined by our fundamental beliefs about education and about the Christian life, and to suggest ways of teaching in the biblical way.

The story of one (fictitious) school community's journey to introduce ongoing reflection into the daily life of the school invites us to consider the power of reflection in lessening the gap between vision and practice. The gifts of renewal of vision and transformation of school culture await those schools that commit to the journey.

The purpose of The Craft of Christian Teaching is to help teachers see more clearly that accepting Christ not only changes personal lives, but also their teaching practice.
