The new book by GRACE members Israel Galindo and Marty Canaday, Planning for Christian Education Formation: A Community of Faith Approach (Chalice Press) is immediately available in print and e-book format.
Thanks to all our friends who have been asking when the book will be released. The growing interest in the book speaks to the need for a resource on how to provide effective leadership for a congregational Christian education program. The book provides a practical program and process for planning the Christian education formation program of the church, and a structure for organizing the Christian education leadership team, group, or committee of a congregation.
You can read the listing on the Chalice Press site here. To order the e-book version, click on the E-books/PDFs link.
