Sara Covin Juengst believes that Protestant churches have failed to provide the church teacher with basic knowledge about the Bible, theology, and doctrine. Because the quality of religious education is determined by the quality of its teachers, religious illiteracy has soared. Juengst proposes an innovative teacher-training course, and provides plans for teaching biblical background, basic beliefs, and teaching techniques.

If You Love to Teach.... You Will Love this Book,
By Vikki de los Santos (Arequipa, Peru (Originally From Modesto, CA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Equipping the Saints: Teacher Training in the Church (Paperback)
One of the best books I have read on teaching in the church! Sara provides so many creative ideas to help any teacher, no matter how long they have taught, not matter what age they teach. Just reading the book, with her teaching ideas, encourages me to be a more effective teacher. Her book isn't a book you will read one time and put it on the shelf. You will read it and use it constantly! I am using many of her ideas as I train Peruvian nationals in a Bible Institute. I hope that they will not only learn about teaching but they will learn how to teach as they observe me using many of the ideas for hands-on leanring, getting the students involved and thinking about the Bible, not just sitting and listening!
