Gospel
Light has just released Rock-Solid
Teacher by Dr. Gregory C. Carlson. This new volume in the
Rock-Solid series takes its place alongside Rock-Solid Kids
by Larry Fowler which was released by Gospel Light in 2004. This new
volume focuses on how to become a master teacher and, as the subtitle
says, "Discover the Joy of Teaching Like Jesus."
"Jesus is the Master Teacher! In the Gospels, He effectively communicated great truths to crowds of people in a way they could understand. He knew how to tell a good story and be succinct. He also knew how to offer His listeners a practical application and how to use questions to provoke verbal responses and internal reflection.
"Through following some of the same 'rock-solid' principles and teaching methods that Jesus used, you'll see a positive difference in your own lessons. Whether you are teaching adults or children in the classroom, church or home setting, you'll find practical steps to follow that will help you communicate more effectively and thoroughly." (from the back cover)
Dr. Carlson is the Director of Rorheim Institute and a teacher with many years of experience. Formerly, a professor of Christian Education at Grace University in Omaha, NE, he is also an instructor with Walk Thru the Bible Ministries.
