About Product:
An art student creates his first painting, only to discover that it will be critiqued in class. Nervously looking down, he hears a classmate quietly say, "I like the sky."
Then, from the other side of the room, another says, "But he has got the foreground all fouled up." Now, many years later, author George Durrant says to all what he said silently as a student then: "Why don't you look at the sky?" As teachers-for we all are teachers, whether profession-ally or in our personal relationships-we can help others look to the beauty and light of the sky. When their fore grounds are painted with the drab colors of life's vicissitudes, we can help them find happiness by encouraging them to focus on their potential and what is true and good in themselves. We then are not just teachers, but master teachers-teachers who make a difference. Drawing on personal experience, the author gives suggestions on how to accomplish this, such as taking a personal interest in those we teach, becoming motivated instead of discouraged by challenges, not being easily provoked, rejoicing in truth, and, most important, using charity as the foundation for teaching. Included is a chapter by the author's son, seminary teacher Dwight Q. Durrant, who writes of helping students reach their celestial skies by increasing their self-confidence.
With characteristic warmth and humor, George Durrant shows us how to help others see the glory of what they can become. In so doing, he encourages all of us to see beyond our foregrounds and look at the sky.
