This invaluable guide will take teachers who already magnify their callings to the next level: that of changing eternity for themselves and their students." ~ Terrie Lynn Bittner, author of Homeschooling: Take a Deep Breath - You Can Do This!

Woolley, Ph.D. Organizational Behavior, author of The Promised Land series.

"The youth of the church are engaged in a daily battle for their spiritual freedom. Seminary teachers stand beside them with the ammunition they need to fight the adversary: the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sister Bezas teaches us that when we are given great responsibility, great blessings await. Throughout Powerful Tips for Powerful Teachers she gives us gentle reminders of the Lord's promise to seminary teachers and other youth leaders as we accept the responsibilities - and blessings - of teaching the youth." ~ Patricia Wiles, author of the Kevin Kirk Chronicles.

"Eloquent and thoughtful, Powerful Tips for Powerful Teachers will be as welcome as sunshine for early morning seminary teachers - and anybody else who builds and blesses the kingdom one class at a time. It is a book of vivid explanation, touching spiritual insight, and helpful practicality. I've been teaching for more than two decades, but I can't wait to start my own teacher's journal and apply the wisdom - and charity - I found in this wonderful little book! I can't think of a teacher anywhere (and aren't we all teachers?) who wouldn't benefit from these powerful tips. It was a joy and delight to read!" ~ Kerry Blair, author Counting Blessings: Wit and Wisdom for Women and Of Infinite Worth: Tributes to Motherhood
