Genre: Inspirational/Nonfiction

The Heart Of A Teacher is a wonderfully inspiring read for both traditional teachers and homeschooling parents alike. Written by such well known authors like Tracie Peterson, Janice Thompson, Barbara Johnson, and many others, teachers will be refreshed and encouraged as they prepare for each new school day.

The stories are separated into different categories, such as:

* The Nurture of a Teacher

* The Example of a Teacher

* The Discipline of a Teacher

* The Strength of a Teacher

* The Love of a Teacher

* The Compassion of a Teacher

--plus much more! I am a homeschool teacher, and I enjoyed reading the encouraging stories about how teachers influence their students’ lives. I remembered some of my favorite teachers from my childhood and why they were special to me.

Thank you, Mr. Holmes, for compiling this enjoyable book for teachers. The Heart Of A Teacher is a must for the favorite teachers in your life. And with Christmas approaching, it is the ideal gift for teachers this year. $14.99 hardcover. 255 pages.
