In "Perspectives on a Child's Education," proponents of four very
different learning options present their faith-based positions on
how a parent should answer the question, "Where should I send my
child to school?" Troy Temple (International Center for Youth
Ministry) is convinced every Christian parent should consider
public schooling. G. Tyler Fischer (Veritas Academy) believes open
admission Christian schools are best for Christians and
non-Christians alike. Mark Eckel (Mahseh Center) favors covenantal
Christian schools that don't enroll non-Christians. Michael Wilder
(Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) advocates homeschooling.
For each contributor's chapter, a counterpoint chapter from the
other contributors follows with a goal of determining which view is
most in line with what the Bible teaches.
Remarkably, thirty percent of North American teenagers--millions of
people between the ages of 13 and 17--have engaged in religious
missions or service projects. Building on this statistic, the
authors of "TransforMission "believe that short-term mission is one
way God is taking the gospel to the nations and, concurrently,
transforming the lives of these student participants. Writing to
youth ministers, missiologists, church leaders, adult volunteers,
and post-high school students, they assess strategies for further
promoting this kind of involvement by exploring several questions:
- What mechanisms is God employing to achieve this advance in
mission? - What is taking place in the lives of believers who are
obediently participating in the fulfillment of the Great Commision?
- What are the theological and theoretical foundations for the life
transformation that is occurring? - What is the most effective
means of conducting short-term mission experiences?
