Synopsis:
Convinced that the way we have prepared and trained leaders of Christian education isn't getting the results most churches desire, Krau offers new insight. Keeping in Touch focuses on practices and processes teachers need to develop and strengthen in order to create environments for nurturing persons toward Christian discipleship. Committed to the vital role teaching plays in forming Christian disciples, Krau describes 5 critical processes that are important to every teacher or small-group leader: Keeping in touch with God through disciplined Christian habits (e.g., prayer, Bible study), Keeping in touch with God's people (setting aside their own agendas), Keeping in touch with our experience (personal background and Christian tradition), Keeping in touch with the world (mission and ministry), and Keeping in touch with teaching (creating an environment conducive to building knowledge and discipleship skills). (1999) Official website: Keeping in Touch.
