Christian Education : Seeking to Become Like

This is a book that relentlessly pursues defining the goals of Christian education and then offers a plan in keeping with those goals. So many books in the field assume the goals and simply describe the methods. Not so Larry Richards. His biblical and theological analysis conveys an excitement that makes Christian education a mission, not just a responsibility. And still his approach is eminently practical, insightful, and motivational.

Lawrence O. Richards is a writer and teacher. He received his B.A. from the University of Michigan, his Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D. from Northwestern University
