5.0 out of 5 stars Teachign as Eucharist, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Teaching As Eucharist: Take, Thank, Bless, Break, Give (Spirit Life Series) (Paperback)

Upon first glance , this book would appear unintimidating to the reader, however what a surprise to find such powerful content in a small package. Teaching as Eucharist by Joan Marie Smith is an insightful treasure with such wisdom! Christian education is to be approached with reverance. The author encourages taking the perspective of a true teacher,with Jesus as the ultimate example. The acts of TAKE,THANK,BLESS,BREAK,GIVE just as in the Holy sacraments, are effective and demonstrate the interaction of spirit and humankind. This is a beneficial resource for anyone involved in the ministry of education.

This review is from: Teaching As Eucharist: Take, Thank, Bless, Break, Give (Spirit Life Series) (Paperback)

In her book, Sister Joanmarie Smith, CSJ, imposes the Eucharistic actions of take, thank, bless, break, and give onto the teaching task. She then goes a step further by encouraging the reader to look at her/his life roles as actions contained in the Eucharist. As a result of reading Sister Joanmarie's book, the reader comes away with an increased self-awareness of the interconnectedness of Eucharist and our daily lives. If you are seeking spiritual growth and personal understanding of the implications of the Eucharist in your life, this book is highly recommended.
