Lessons From the Master Teacher: An Educator's Journey with Jesus Brea C. Ratliff @brea_ratliff
BOOK SUMMARY
“Rabbi" is a term meaning "Jewish scholar or teacher". Recognizing Jesus as a rabbi is the equivalent of calling him "master" or more specifically, "teaching master". Through Jesus' many powerful lessons, the Holy Scriptures come to life in a new way. This thought-provoking book encourages educators to reflect on how Jesus used a diverse teaching ministry to revolutionize the world: promoting God's love for humanity while challenging the fixed mindsets and beliefs of an entire generation. Examine the beautiful alignment between the life of the Master Teacher and what we have been called to do as believers who are educators.
