What Then Is This Child Going To Be

As this rapidly changing world seems to be spinning out of control at warp speed, we yearn for constants to lend stability to our lives. Historically, society has relied on her schools to promote the values shared by Americans. What Then Is This Child Going To Be? is a unique look at life from the perspective of a Christian teacher. Subtitled Lessons from the Classroom, this book presents insights on a wide variety of issues facing our culture and our children. Steve Hawley offers a collection of stories taken from more than twenty years of chapel talks and devotionals, each illustrating central biblical truths. As the author blends memories of his childhood with teaching and coaching experiences, family members, students, and players become characters in a twenty-five part essay on the Christian’s walk with the Lord. What connection is there between a 1960’s rock song and a little girl in a Honduran village? Why did a magical high school baseball season turn tragic? How can a morning in a dentist’s chair inspire a lesson on honesty? The answers are revealed in chapters that stand alone, encouraging a devotional study that will be thought provoking and, perhaps, awaken echoes of your own childhood.
