Bøger af Jim Teeters

The poems in this collection speak mostly to the danger but also to the wonder. I lament that I miss the possibilities. The poems are hopeful too; in that they help us recognize the ways we can embrace wonder and face danger-to feel fully alive and expectant. I invite you to weep and laugh with me in these expressions of pain and joy.

In this collection, Jim Teeters examines Lao Tzu's ancient meditations of the Tao Te Ching through a traditional Quaker lens of submission to the Inner Light. Teeters demonstrates that we must strive less and accept more, listen, empathize, and trust. Keep your mind and heart open as you read and reflect.

Can children and adults study the Bible together? Jim Teeters thinks they can. And he thinks they should. The ministry of Jesus did not advocate the generation gap that seems to exist in traditional Christian education programs. Jesus shares how he values children and their character: "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). Adults and children have much to offer each other in understanding and representing God's kingdom together. Adults offer wisdom and life experience, while kids bring joy, creativity, and a fresh outlook. GOING INTERGENERATIONAL includes: guidelines for success, helpful ideas and resources, and twenty take-and-teach programs. The author shows you how to study the Bible with an intergenerational approach that will: (1) Hook your group's interest in the lesson topic. (2) Present the Bible passage in creative ways. (3) Look at the Scripture with action and interaction. (4) Make the lesson relevant for daily life.

These are story poems that will make you laugh, scratch yourhead, and maybe shed a tear. School kids will discover a mirrorimage of their lives in these poems, both wonderful and scary. Forparents or teachers, each poem is a great entryway to life lessons.
