What's worse than not being as smart as a fifth-grader? Not being as smart as a third-grader On his first day of teaching, Mr. Fiore quickly realized how much he had to learn about life from a child's-and God's-perspective. What They Have Taught Me: Biblical Life Lessons from an Elementary School Classroom is an insightful look into the spiritual education of a public school teacher, whose students continually challenge him to put into practice what he teaches in the classroom. When reading the lessons taught to Mr. Fiore on patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and more, you'll find yourself being challenged by God to develop these traits in your life as well. You'll gain valuable insights through creative ideas like "Class Court," "Slam Dunks," and "Behavior Bucks" and you'll be touched by students such as Steven, a young boy whom nobody wanted, and Michael, who was born with cerebral palsy. Their personal stories will deepen your faith and inspire you to learn all that God wants to teach you. As Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Mark 10:14 NLT) So open your heart to Mr. Fiore's students, and let their child-like simplicity and faith develop your walk with God as they teach you the greatest lesson of all-how to love others and God
