Editorial Reviews

Found this book insightful and inspirational. … non-existent Biblical references allow this book to serve as a springboard for a philosophical evaluation of the current educational reform mind-set.” (Keith A. Walters, International Journal of Christianity & Education, April 08, 2019)
