Morning Meetings with Jesus

Designed for each school day in the student year, these light-hearted and insightful devotions offer lessons from the Master Teacher and a challenge to apply that lesson in real-life situations that confront educators in today¿s classroom. From the student who attacks verbally or physically to the lab experiment that goes wrong, teachers face a variety of challenges¿and veteran teacher of Baltimore¿s public school, author Susan O¿Carroll Drake, shares not only her own experiences but the biblical principles she has gleaned from a study of Jesus¿ life and teaching. Each devotion offers a Scripture reading, key verse, personal anecdote, biblical insight, and practical application before concluding with a brief prayer.

Susan O'Carroll Drake is a former public school teacher who currently works to support her children's teachers as a classroom volunteer and executive board member of the Parent Teacher Association. Drake holds an MS in Biology and Human Nutrition, a BS in Psychology, and a secondary science teaching certificate. During her year in the classroom, she received numerous teaching honors, including being named Colorado's Outstanding Biology Teacher.
