"This is a superb book! How do we confront the violence, warfare, and division of contemporary living? Yust and Anderson suggest we must be taught by God. They invite us to revisit the formative Christian practices of key figures of Christian tradition to learn God's ways. From Luther, Julian of Norwich, Wesley, Frances de Sales, Jane Chantal, and Saint Benedict, we learn the power of a disciplined, prayerful life. Join them seeking to learn to turn our hearts and minds toward God."

Jack L. Seymour, editor of Religious Education

"Yust and Anderson offer a vision of Christian teaching that puts the ancient wisdom of Christian practice in conversation with contemporary life, a vision that emerges from the rich religious imagination of the authors and promises to cultivate such an imagination in teachers and learners of all ages."

Stephanie Paulsell, Harvard Divinity School

"Drawing upon a rich diversity of classical spiritual texts and contemporary theological sources, the authors weave a fascinating tapestry of insights to guide the spiritual quest of faithful Christian pilgrims. For those who teach, this is a well- researched resource to renew the hearts and souls of learners and teachers alike. Somethings new and old are brought into conversation to guide the ministries of Christian education. This is essential reading for those who seek to be taught by God and in turn are called to teach others."
