 **Teachers, Refresh and Refocus Your Teaching Heart.** Today’s educators face unprecedented challenges in and out of the classroom. Teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and special education teams need more than a few words of encouragement and a pat on the back.

- Spiritual insights and inspiration

“Educators have one of the hardest roles in society. Huesmann meets readers where they are with Biblically sound reminders that God is with teachers in the midst of their day. With this book on your desk, you’re sure to feel every day is a good day to be a teacher.” –**Tez Brooks**, former Communications Leader for Intl.
