Reviews / Votes
The text will stimulate the reader into thinking differently about the nature of character and what shapes or mis-shapes it. It will invite the reader into a wider horizon of understanding about human flourishing, and deserves to be engaged with seriously, so that hearts and minds can explore in depth a theology of education that commits itself to changed practice.This book is an important contribution to what might be able to be released if we were to look at our journey of learning from a different perspective, using a different map and guide. Read this book and prepare for your world to look just a little bit different as a result of the journey on which this skilled writer and reflector will take you. -- James Woodward, Sarum College * Modern Believing *
