Teaching Beneath His Wings


Book Description

This book is to share the experiences of a praying school teacher, to impart the wisdom and knowledge learned along a long thirty-eight year journey. To inspire those in the classroom not to give up (follow your dream) and remind those considering entering the academy of teaching that it is not an occupation to be taken lightly, The book also strives to inform parents how instrumental they are in their child's education. The heart, body, minds, and soul must be invested into shaping the lives of young youth in America today. No doubt the classroom has changed over the course of these thirty years, but the goal, the aim, and mission remain the same, to light the lamp of ingenuity, inspire curiosity, nurture critical thought, and remind us all that we are brilliant, bright scholars in the eyes of the Lord. I pray that each life reading this text changes in ways beyond measure. Remember the adage each one, teach one, and knowledge will spread like fire. "Teaching Beneath His Wings" is not an autobiography, but it does have anecdotes from my life.
