12 plans60 daily readingsRead at your own pace

The person who teaches needs encouragement, wisdom, and room to grow. These sixty readings bring the daily work of education into conversation with Scripture: the words we choose, the welcome we offer, the judgments we make, and the learning we continue to receive. Follow the book’s twelve original sections through five readings each. Read daily or keep the book’s slower weekly rhythm, making space to pray, reflect, and try one thoughtful practice with the people entrusted to your care.
