The Whole Truth

The Whole Truth by Mark Eckel is a must read for Christian educators. Eckel walks the reader through understanding worldviews and how to help mold your students' worldviews to include truths from the Bible. This book is especially useful for Christian teachers who did not receive their education through a Bible college. You'll learn how to include the Bible in EVERY topic of study, how to think Biblically, and how to pass that on to your students. Having a Bible story or prayer included in the classroom is great but having that alone will teach your students that God is only present in prayer and in the Bible - when we know He is present in His creation, in all that we can learn about.

Eckel has done an excellent job of defining what Christian education is all about. His simple to understand explanation of biblical integration along with practical ideas of how to achieve it are helpful. The extensive bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.
