Author Description

In this excellent book, Roy Peachey invites us to reconsider what it means for parents to be the first educators of their children through a series of thought-provoking reflections on the Gospel passages about the childhood of Jesus. Peachey's insightful discussion on the youth of Jesus invites us to consider the moments of grace that parenting offers us each day and how we might rethink the societal divisions between schooling and parenting to form a unified idea of educating the whole child towards an encounter with God. This book indeed is a 'must-read' for parents, teachers and everyone interested in how we model education on the life of Christ.
