Reviews (From Amazon)
“Reading this book is like having that wise, older teaching mentor that faculty rarely have. . . . I am profoundly grateful for this book. [It is] perfect for busy teachers and students. . . . It should be required reading for every person in charge of faculty development and a required book for all young Christian professors.” [from the foreword]
