Upgrade (4th Edition)
10 Secrets to the Best Education for Your Child
Paperback. 186 Pages
Description
Revised and Expanded
Throughout this recently expanded and upgraded edition of Upgrade , Kevin Swanson will uncover the lost principles for the education of a child as revealed in God’s Word. Here is the best place to start, before appealing to the principles of the ancient Greeks, the modern education theorists, or anybody else. Summarized in this book are the age-old, time-tested, biblically-based principles upon which all education should rest. Character matters. Relationships matter. The individuality of children matters. Life integration matters. Worldviews matter. The fear of God matters. Remarkably, most if not all, of these principles are ignored in much of education today. The grand conclusion forming out of all these principles is simple, yet profound: Education is discipleship.
Excerpt
"A common misconception of education comes when the definition of education narrows to the intellectual. The child is compartmentalized. He is not seen as a whole person, fully integrated with physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual capacities. Thus, if an educational program attempts to address the child's intellect while ignoring his spiritual and emotional development, the approach is sadly ignoring the true reality of the child..."
