Spirit-Directed Education: A New Approach to Education

By Dennis Demuth

Most of what happens in education today is teaching and training the mind and body, which one day will die. Spirit-directed education involves educating the spirit, that part of a person that will live forever. The content of this book was first published as a two-volume ebook. These two books were combined and published as a single volume. The intent of this single volume is to present a new approach to education that goes beyond educating the mind and body and focuses on the heart or spirit. The book looks at the role of the human conscience, the recreated spirit, the human will, and the Holy Spirit, and how these interrelate in Spirit-directed education. The author shows how academic and behavior change begins with changes on the inside which produces changes on the outside. Change requires a willing mind, follows the perception of the recreated spirit, requires the submission of the will, new ways of thinking, and being able to deal with a rebellious body. The book is divided into four Chapters, each having three to five critical topics. Chapter one presents Spirit-directed education as a new approach where the focus is on educating the spirit of a child. Chapter two presents strategies for establishing and maintaining a Spirited-directed classroom--going beyond the expected, establishing a climate of change, creating an awareness of God, setting up an orderly environment, teaming up with the Holy Spirit, releasing the anointing, speaking words that bring success, exercising authority, to name a few. Chapter three focuses on Spirit-directed education and the teacher. Readers will learn the nine ingredients that produce a Spirit-directed teacher, as well as thirteen expectations of a Spirit-directed teacher. Readers will find out how to embrace the work of the Holy Spirit in the classroom. The final Chapter focuses on Spirit-directed education and the student. Attention is given to teaching Christian educators how to help students renew their mind, and how to feed their new nature. You will learn eight methods for training students how to hate evil. Other topics deal with training the recreated spirit of the student by establishing a sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit, the importance of boundaries and expectations, and how to train students to respond to conviction. Readers will learn five strategies for encouraging right speaking, how to foster a "can-do" attitude, and how to build a positive self-image. Finally, the author provides seven strategies for Christian educators to build a student's positive spirit-image. Every Christian educator should have a copy of this book. As they implement the content of these volumes in their classrooms and schools, the effect on the lives of students will cause students to live above the influences of this present world and to become mighty in spirit.
