Rather, it is a book on the practice of creativity in the classroom (which we desperately need). This is a book you will use over and over again.

Without hesitation, I would recommend this book to anyone who teaches young people or adults. MIKE YACONELLI PRESIDENT, YOUTH SPECIALTIES Marlene LeFever makes the principle of learning through creative participation come alive for Christian education.
