Designed for each school day in the student year, these light-hearted and insightful devotions offer lessons from the Master Teacher and a challenge to apply that lesson in real-life situations that confront educators in today's classroom. From the student who attacks verbally or physically to the lab experiment that goes wrong, teachers face a variety of challenges--and veteran teacher of Aurora Public School system, author Susan O'Carroll Drake, shares not only her own experiences but the biblical principles she has gleaned from a study of Jesus' life and teaching. Each devotion offers a Scripture reading, key verse, personal anecdote, biblical insight, and practical application before concluding with a brief prayer.

A Great Gift for Anyone!-A Little Jesus Will Do Everyone Some Good!,
By
This review is from: Morning Meetings with Jesus: 180 Devotions for Teachers (Paperback)
I bought 18 books to give out as gifts to my children's public school teachers, CCD teachers, preschool teachers, the mothers of the precious children I babysit, my friends that are teachers and friends that home school their children. Sue O'Carroll Drake takes her teaching experiences (good and scary) mixes it with her home life and spiritual expertise and then adds a lot of humor! Blending all that together makes a wonderful book sure to please anyone! It's a book that tells the truth about the mishaps in life with a good message to get you thinking. I loved the recommended bible reading, verse du jour and prayer to go along with each unique story. With funny stories like "Queen of Something","The Whole Package" and "Walk Like Jesus" (to name a few of my favorites)-I couldn't put this book down and got so excited and giggly talking about these shocking, ridiculous and surreal episodes with my friends. Buy it-you'll like it!!! Noelle (H-Man's Old Lady) Wrote this Review!! But H-Man loved the book too!!

Encouragement for anyone working with today's youth,
By Wildfire (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Morning Meetings with Jesus: 180 Devotions for Teachers (Paperback)
I found this devotional encouraging, funny and filled with biblical insight. The vignettes of the author's experiences in the classroom are very similar to the experiences I have working with middle schoolers in youth ministry. Unlike many devotionals, Ms. Drake is not afraid to "be real" about what goes on in today's youth culture. Her straight talk and humor is paired with relevant scripture and practical application. In a word: refreshing.

This review is from: Morning Meetings with Jesus: 180 Devotions for Teachers (Paperback)
This is an inspiring devotional book, often hilarious in personal predicaments. Encouraging and helpful, it is real and yet points to a better way with Christ. Well worth the purchase. Recommend.
