N2  - This book offers an energizing Christian vision for the art of teaching. The authors  experienced teachers themselves  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  journeys and pilgrimages, gardens and wilderness, buildings and walls  to illuminate a fresh vision of teaching and learning. Stretching beyond familiar clich©♭s, they infuse these metaphors with rich biblical echoes and theological resonances that will inform and inspire Christian teachers everywhere
