What People Have Said
"Teaching Like Jesus is the best book on Christian education that I have read in twenty years! La Verne Tolbert has the gift of communicating the essence of Christian education--that Christian education is ministry. Not only does this book teach sound principles of teaching and learning in a practical way, but also her many stories, drawn from her own and from other's experiences, warm the heart and motivate the reader to teach Jesus' way--in his spirit as well as in his steps.
"Teaching Like Jesus can be of great value to teachers from every culture and ethnic group. If a person were able to buy only one book on the teaching ministry, I would unhesitatingly recommend this one."
