Enduring structures, whether bridges and buildings or programs and enterprises, have one feature in common, a solid foundation. The Foundations of Christian School Education editorial team--Drs. James Braley, Jack Layman, and Ray White--have brought together a reasoned, comprehensive, and thought-provoking presentation on the structural elements of Christian school education. A biblical worldview is carefully articulated throughout the four sections of the book. Each chapter orients educators to the distinctive and enriched thinking required for authentic and effective Christian school education.
